We all understand that beauty is subjective, as we often hear, but there are steps you can take to enhance your appearance, which can boost your confidence in your appearance and, consequently, make you feel more beautiful.
After all, if beauty is subjective, in that everyone will have a different opinion of your level of beauty, the most critical person to “convince” is yourself.
Yet, as a society, we are not conditioned to have confidence in our appearance; after all, how many spot reduction or anti-wrinkle creams would the large cosmetic companies sell if we all felt good about our appearance?
Indeed, this type of marketing exploits our inherent insecurities about our appearance, targeting specific areas such as cellulite, stretch marks, dark circles under our eyes, and crooked teeth. That said, aside from the marketing tactics, you can do a few things to feel more confident about your appearance, and in this article, we’re going to look at three things you can do to optimise your appearance.
Teeth
One of the most significant hang-ups people have about their image is that of their teeth; many people complain they are either crooked or not white enough. Let’s tackle this one first, then.
About straightening your teeth, many different types of braces are available to help correct the alignment of your teeth. However, many people feel shy and embarrassed at the prospect of wearing braces, and others will notice upon meeting them. This is where lingual braces attached to the back of your teeth, meaning they are less visible, can be helpful.
In terms of whitening your teeth, many options are available, from home remedies such as baking soda and cider vinegar to more professionally facilitated whitening regimes.
Eyes
Another complaint many people have about their looks is that of having dark bags under their eyes, meaning they look puffy, tired, and drained the whole time.
This is sometimes associated with not getting enough rest. Still, the main culprit is dehydration—if you want to reduce the dark circles around your eyes, then drink plenty of water throughout the day, primarily upon waking up in the morning.
Indeed, a good skin tonic is to drink a glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice each morning, as it alkalises your system.
Clothes
The one thing we all have control over, no matter how we look, is the clothes we wear—and we all can agree that some clothes enhance our appearance and other garments detract from it.
As a result, you should wear clothes that enhance your appearance and highlight your vital positive features while drawing attention away from less desirable aspects of your figure.
In summary, there are many things you can do to optimise beauty, thus increasing your state of confidence in terms of the way you look… They don’t have a tremendous amount of money or require invasive procedures.
