You can tell a lot about a person by how clean they look. In addition to the aesthetic impact, a neat appearance also indicates that the person is reliable and serious. A clean and tidy appearance affects every interaction, be it social, professional, or romantic. Therefore, for everyone who wants to make a positive impression, a clean appearance should be made a priority. Appearance takes care of many things. However, most of them are easy to do on a regular basis.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Facial Treatment
Step 1. Brush your teeth
Teeth are constantly exposed to food and drink. Therefore, teeth must be kept clean and white. Brush your teeth twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed. Brush your teeth for at least two minutes. To make brushing easier, you can divide your teeth into 4 sections and brush each section for 30 seconds.
- Although the color of your teeth is not directly related to cleanliness, whiter teeth will make your mouth look cleaner.
- Cleaning between teeth with dental floss is also recommended. Floss helps clean between teeth that a toothbrush cannot reach. In addition to brushing your teeth twice a day, you should also floss at least once a day.
Step 2. Wash your hair regularly
If you don't wash it for a few days, your hair will become tangled and greasy. Shampooing should be done at least three times a week. Apply the shampoo evenly and thoroughly to the hair. Then, massage the scalp. While you should rinse your hair with hot water every morning, shampooing should only be done every other day. This is to allow the healthy natural oils to make hair shine without making it too greasy.
- Take good care of your hair. Even when trying to grow your hair out, you should still trim the ends regularly to avoid split ends. If you have long hair, brush it every day, especially if you spend time outdoors when it's windy or rainy.
- Hair should be thoroughly combed after shampooing so that it doesn't fall apart when dry.
Step 3. Use lip balm
Lips are an important indicator of health. If you apply moisturizer regularly, your lips will not crack or peel. This step is especially important if your lips are naturally prone to dryness. Dry-looking lips will attract negative attention, even if you look neat.
Step 4. Shave or treat the hair on the face well
The presence of a mustache or beard can make someone look clean. However, you should always shave it so that it looks neat. In order to look really neat, the length of the mustache or beard should not exceed 1.5 cm. Use a special shaver to shave your beard evenly every few days. Since each strand of hair grows at a slightly different rate, it's best to trim your mustache or beard regularly and not allow it to grow too long.
Shaving the neck clean is also a good idea. The hairy neck looks unkempt by most standards
Step 5. Apply a little makeup
Makeup can effectively make certain facial features stand out. However, do not use too much cosmetics. If you use too much makeup, your face will look unnatural or even "funny". The buildup of makeup ingredients on the skin will also make the face look unclean. It's best not to use too much makeup for even the most glamorous occasions. A natural appearance will make you look clean, and cleanliness will attract the attention of many people.
Makeup must be removed before going to bed. If left unchecked, makeup can leave a negative impact on the oil on the skin and cause blemishes
Step 6. Apply moisturizer on the face
Dry skin will make you look older and sleep deprived. Although it is also recommended to apply moisturizer all over the body, the most important part of the body to apply moisturizer is the face because this is the part that people see the most. Apply moisturizer in circular motions slowly, gently, and evenly on the face. Focus the moisturizer on your cheeks and the area around your eyes.
- Using a moisturizer on your skin is especially important if your skin is prone to oily and acne-prone skin. A blemish-free skin will leave you looking clean. In order not to cause scars, acne scars should not be scraped.
- Consider buying a moisturizer specifically for the eyes. Eye moisturizers are made of ingredients that are gentler than regular moisturizers to accommodate the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Washing your face with a cloth dampened in warm water can help wash away excess dust and oil.
Method 2 of 3: Cleansing the Body
Step 1. Take a shower
Taking a shower is an important part of your morning routine because it ensures that your body is relatively clean and fresh before you start your activity. Although the hair is the main part that must be cleaned, don't forget to clean the rest of the body. The process of cleansing all areas of the body will take a few minutes. Scrub the body thoroughly with soap.
Step 2. Trim excess body hair
Many women want to look fresher by shaving body hair. Some men also shave body hair in certain areas, especially on the back, armpits, and pubic area. Body hair removal should be done after a shower, when the hair follicles are easier to open. Waxing is a more effective way of shaving body hair. However, some people find it too painful to do regularly.
- As another option, you can buy an epilator. An epilator is a machine that can remove hair one at a time. Compared to strip waxing, epilators are less painful, but take longer.
- Surgery to remove body hair with lasers is also available. This method is much more expensive than the usual method. However, with this method, you no longer need to shave off excess body hair.
- Treat cuts from shaving as soon as possible. If left untreated, shaving closely can cause ingrown body hair and scarring. To fix this, rub a scrub on the area and put a warm compress on the injured skin area.
Step 3. Apply deodorant
Deodorant may not affect appearance directly. However, body odor will make it difficult for others to perceive you as "clean." Deodorants are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Use deodorant after bathing regularly. If your body tends to sweat a lot, antiperspirants will prevent sweat stains from appearing on your creases.
Soft perfume or cologne can also be used in certain situations
Step 4. Drink lots of water
Water can rejuvenate all parts of the body. Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go, and drink water from it when you feel thirsty. If you drink enough water, your muscles will become more flexible and your skin will look more radiant. So that the body does not lack water, you should drink before feeling thirsty.
The amount of water you should drink every day depends entirely on your environment and activities. People who work hard physically will need more water than people whose work is not physically active
Step 5. Avoid processed foods
Many problems (including skin problems such as acne) are caused by the wrong diet due to the consumption of processed foods. While you can technically eat processed foods and still look clean, your skin can be blotchy and look dull. Food consumption does not have a direct relationship with hygiene, but it must be considered to maintain overall body health.
Step 6. Wash your hands with soap
Keeping hands clean (especially in public areas) is an important way to prevent disease. Wash your hands thoroughly and use antibacterial soap. Cleanliness is an important part of appearance.
Step 7. Trim and clean the nails
Trimming your nails is a normal part of your hygiene routine. Although it doesn't need to be groomed every day, trim your nails at least once a week to keep your body looking well-groomed. Don't bite your nails. This habit is a bad habit and makes your hands look unkempt.
Method 3 of 3: Dress Neatly
Step 1. Wash clothes regularly
A clean appearance also involves clean clothes. If clothes are worn for a long time without being washed, sweat will accumulate and cause stains. The frequency of washing clothes is determined by the type of clothing and your lifestyle. Pants can be worn for several days without being washed, while underwear and clothes can be washed after one use.
To determine the frequency of washing, examine your clothes. The sweat of people who work physically hard will accumulate more quickly
Step 2. Shine the shoes
Shoe polish will remove dirt buildup and give it a shine again. Rub the shoe polish in a circular motion on the shoe. Although the effect is short-lived and requires repeated application, polishing your shoes will keep you looking clean.
Step 3. Iron the clothes
With a hot temperature, the iron will smooth out the creases in the clothes. You will need an iron and ironing board to do this. The purchase will be worth it because the ironed clothes will look clean and tidy.
Step 4. Take an umbrella with you when you travel
Rain is an unavoidable part of life in many countries. If it rains for a long time, it can make hair and clothes messy. While it won't keep you out of the rain completely, an umbrella can keep you from looking too messy.
Step 5. Make sure your clothes are the right size
Regardless of style and tidiness, clothes won't look great if they don't fit your body shape. Clothing that is very loose will generally make you look "dirty." While clothes that are too tight will feel too tight and uncomfortable. You should choose clothes that best suit your body shape. Don't wear clothes that make you look bad.
Step 6. Wear simple clothes
If cleanliness is your priority when it comes to appearance, wear simple-looking clothes. Excess accessories, patches, pins, and jewelry will mess up your look. No matter how hygienic you are, some people may find it unattractive.
Tips
- All the cleaning steps mentioned may be difficult to remember. Instead, write down a list of things you need to clean every day. In no time, you'll be able to remember the routine without having to rely on the list.
- Focus cleaning on areas that tend to get dirty easily in your daily life. You should also focus on the areas that other people see the most, such as your face and hands.
- Do not forget to care for and pay attention to the cleanliness of the genital area.
