Stay Looking Clean All Day Long
You know what it feels like to have that lingering body odor all day. You shower, but in a few hours you are going to look as if you haven't showered in days. You will look messy, untidy, and maybe even disgusting. So your question is "How do I stay clean looking all day?" Well, in just a few steps, you will look as if you are glowing and so clean!
Steps
- Shower. This is extremely important. If you start by cleaning all the dirt and grime off, you will look and smell clean. While you are in the shower, be sure to clean the following: Hair, Face, "Privates" (this will also help eliminate body odor). If you are a girl, shave your legs, arms, underarms, private parts. Wash under arms, behind ears and neck too.Template:Large image
- Clean teeth. If you have bad breath and food in your teeth, there is no way that you are going to look clean. If you don't have braces, use a whitening toothpaste. Be sure to brush after breakfast, after lunch, before you go to sleep. (If you're in school, eat your lunch and go to the bathroom and brush your teeth with a travel- sized toothbrush and mini toothpaste tube)Also be sure to floss everyday and use a bacteria killing mouthwash.Template:Large image
- Deodorant. This is in its own category. Whether you are a guy or a girl, antiperspirant deodorant should be applied under arms and any other place (besides face and neck) that you experience excessive sweating.
- Keep hair clean. This means washing it frequently. You don't have to wash it everyday, but you should wash it at least every other day. Another thing is to keep your hair neat. All hairstyles you do should look neat and tidy.Template:Large image
- Makeup. Keep this to a minimum. Do not ring your eyes with black eyeliner and mascara. This smudges and makes you look really dirty. Try a little cover up, light foundation, a little dusting of blush, neutral eyeliner if you absolutely need eyeliner, and a peachy or neutral lip gloss. Maybe even just some chap-stick. Also if you wanted to apply a tiny bit of bronzer to give a sun-kissed look, this is absolutely fine. Just make sure to always wash your makeup off before you go to sleep.
- Keep a clean face. If you have food around your mouth on your face, it will make you look dirty. If you females have a hairy upper lip as do many females do, get it shaved, or waxed, or threaded. Also make sure your eyebrows are groomed and tidy.Template:Large image
- Keep the following with you at all times. Breath mints/gum, hairbrush or comb, touch up makeup, lotion, matching spray, deodorant, nail filer/clippers, sanitation wipes, ponytail holders/bobby pins/ barrettes/ hairspray, water bottle, and chap stick.
- Wear clean clothing. Do not wear clothes with holes, stains, etc. Do not wear clothes that don't fit you well... this doesn't mean skin tight clothing either.
- Smile. With your pretty smile, you will look happy, clean, fresh and awake.
- Posture. If you are slouching and walking all hunched over, you are going to look dirty and as if you have no confidence at all.
Tips
- Don't forget to brush your teeth.
- Always keep breath mints or a gum with you.
- You need confidence. If you are slouching, you look weird.
- If you have gym class, then you should go to the restroom and put some deodorant on so you're not so sweaty.
- Have a friend you trust that you know will be honest tell you what you need to work on. Ask them if they think you look dirty, smell, etc.
- If you don't carry a purse, then you can't put all of those items with you. Carry them in your car, locker, etc. If you don't have any of those, make sure to at least have breath mints, deodorant, and sanitation wipes with you wherever you want to (pockets, binders, wherever)
- Cleanse, tone and moisturise your face every day and try to stick to the routine.
Warnings
- Do not overdo it with the spray! You will smell too strong
- Do not wear too much deodorant! You will get white streaks on your clothes. Read directions on back of deodorant.
