Many women agonize constantly over how to make the most of their looks. Fortunately, an attractive appearance is deceptively easy to achieve when you stick with the basic. The following four strategies are designed to help you cultivate and maintain your best possible appearance.
Pay Attention to the Basics of Good Health
Good looks go hand in hand with good health. Even the best makeup and personal grooming products won't make up for chronic dehydration, lack of sleep, and poor nutritional habits. How you take care of yourself from the inside out shows in your physical appearance. One or two late nights now and then probably won't harm your looks in the long run, but making a habit out of it definitely takes a toll. The same applies to other bad habits such as subsisting off fast food and drinking sodas instead of water.
Don't Underestimate the Power of Fragrance
Wearing perfume and the fragrance items results in a confidence boost that significantly affects the way you appear to others. Well-groomed people carry themselves in ways that make them more attractive, so consider a spritz of a lovely fragrance the finishing touch on your morning grooming routine. Take care not to overdo it -- no one considers an overwhelming cloud of perfume attractive. Some companies, like Fragrance-Save, know that you should keep weekday scents light and subtle while reserving their more heady counterparts for special evenings. Some women have a signature fragrance that they wear at all times, while others cultivate a scent wardrobe and witch things up according to mood and occasion depending on personal preference.
Take Care of Your Hands
Raggedy nails and chapped hands detract from an otherwise polished experience. Even if you aren't the type to keep your nails painted, using a clear polish or simply buffing nail surfaces work wonders to help your hands look their best. Using a thick, moisturizing hand lotion as frequently as possible and always wearing gloves while performing household chores helps keep the skin on your hands soft and supple.
Keeping it Classic
The most important fashion rule is also the simplest -- when in doubt about what to wear for any given occasion, you can't go wrong with keeping it classic. Trendy, fun clothing has its place, but when appearances matter, stick with clothing featuring classic lines, fabrics, fits, and colors. The beauty of classic clothing is that you wear it rather than the other way around. Cultivate a closet full of classics and you'll never be at a loss for what to wear when the occasion calls for a polished appearance.
Staying healthy, fit, and well-groomed combined with good fashion choices enhances anyone's appearance. This can be accomplished even by those who don't have the budgets for every latest beauty product or fashion trend.
