While you can't control your genetics or natural physical traits, you can control how you take advantage of your gifts. Good appearance is a combination of several factors, including body care, personality, and style. Here's how to stand out and bring out the best in you.
Step
Method 1 of 5: Dress Up
The easiest and simplest way you can do to look attractive is to keep your body clean. If you are clean and smell good, other people subconsciously want to be close to you. Include the following steps in your daily routine.
Step 1. Apply deodorant
Find a scent and intensity that suits you, and apply right after showering. If you find yourself sweating a lot or smelling bad throughout the day, put the deodorant in your bag or suitcase so you can reuse it at any time.
If you forget to put on deodorant before you leave the house, apply a hand sanitizer solution to your armpits. The solution kills bacteria that produce bad body odor. You may need to reapply several times throughout the day
Step 2. Take a shower every day
Wash your hair thoroughly. Use liquid or bar soap that smells fresh and clean.
If you're used to showering in the morning, consider buying a steam-proof glass so you can wash your face and shave while you're in the shower
Step 3. Apply cologne or body spray
Your scent throughout the day can make or break your attractiveness. If you use it properly, people will automatically be attracted to you. Otherwise, the effect is just the opposite; people can stay away from you. Here are some basic guidelines you can follow:
- Don't wear too much perfume. The most important rule of fragrant scents: not too strong. Remember, even good things when excessive are not good. Roses do smell good, but you can get nauseous if you inhale deeply concentrated rose oil. Spray cologne or body spray a maximum of two or three times. Your nose gets used to the smell and stops "smelling" after a few minutes, but other people can still smell the scent that lingers on you.
- Choose a scent that matches your body's natural scent. Everyone's body chemistry is different, so not all scents are suitable for everyone. There is a "good" smell that sticks to the body of some people, but it's not as good when worn by certain people. If possible, try a sample of cologne or body spray before you buy. Use the sample for a day, and have a friend rate the scent after a few hours of use.
- Try matching your soap with the cologne you're using. It doesn't have to smell exactly the same, but it should be similar so as not to produce clashing scents.
- Dab cologne on pulse points. In certain parts of the body a lot of blood flows close to the surface of the skin, which warms throughout the day thereby increasing the temperature of the cologne and the intensity of the aroma. The pulse points include the wrists, throat and nape of the neck.
Step 4. Wash your face every morning and every night
It is natural that men have higher testosterone levels than women. Hormones are the root cause of acne. Overcome this problem by keeping your face clean.
-
Choose products that are suitable for your skin type. Here are some of the most common:
- Sensitive/dry skin: If your skin tends to be flaky and dry, or is prone to redness and irritation, use a very gentle cleanser. Don't use toner, and use a light moisturizer.
- Combination skin/T zone: If your forehead, nose and chin--commonly known as the T-zone--you tend to be oily, but your cheeks are dry, you have "combination" skin. Most people have this skin type, so choose a cleanser suitable for normal or combination skin. Dab a gentle toner on the T zone, then apply moisturizer.
- Oily skin: If your skin tends to be oily all over your face, choose a clay-based or oil-absorbing cleanser. Dab a gentle toner all over your face, then apply a light moisturizer. If your skin feels oily during the day, pat your face with parchment paper, which you can get at cosmetic and skin care stores.
- If you have acne on your face, use a cleanser that contains salicylic acid and apply a benzoyl peroxide cream on the pimple. If these efforts do not work, see a dermatologist.
Step 5. Shave or trim your facial hair
Want a smooth face without hair, or maintain sideburns, it doesn't matter. Most importantly, take care of your facial hair every day.
- For a clean shave look, shave every morning before you head to work or college. Wet your skin first, and use a sharp razor and shaving cream. Shaving against the current (that is, against the direction of hair growth, from jaw to cheek) results in a smoother, but more irritating, shave. If you're having trouble dealing with ingrown hairs, try shaving in the direction of the hair growth.
- Trim sideburns, mustache and beard. Make sure the edges are neat and clean, and trim the feathers to the same length. When washing your face, make sure you also scrub the skin behind the facial hair.
Step 6. Trim eyebrows (optional)
You don't have to pluck your eyebrow hairs, but neat eyebrows can make your overall appearance more presentable. Here's the basic guide:
- Find good tweezers. The two claws must really meet so that the extraction process is less painful and more efficient.
- Use your face as a guide. Holding a pencil, hold it against the edge of one nostril so that it crosses the brow. Using the pencil as a line, pluck out the hairs that are on the outside as well as in the "unibrow" area (located above the nose, right in the middle of the eyebrows, where the hairs that pop out make the eyebrows look together). Use this pencil technique to smooth out the other eyebrow.
- Trim the arch of the eyebrows. If your eyebrows still look bushy after you've plucked the hairs in the middle, try plucking the hairs under the arch. Remember, just what is under the eyebrows. Do not pluck the hairs on the top.
Step 7. Clean and clip nails
Every two or three days, after taking a shower, take a minute to trim your 20 nails and scrape out any dirt stuck behind them. Nails are softer and easier to clean after a few minutes of exposure to water. You should trim your fingernails and toenails short, leaving a thin line of white tips.
Step 8. Clean your teeth with a toothbrush or dental floss
Fight bad breath and maintain a brilliant white smile by taking care of your teeth.
- Change your toothbrush regularly. At least every 3 months, or after you recover from the flu or other infectious disease. When the bristles of the toothbrush start to curl outward, it's a sign you need a new one.
- Clean your teeth with dental floss every night. Dental floss not only removes plaque and food debris from your mouth, but is thought to also prevent heart disease.
- Tongue brush. Your teeth may be sparkling, but you're still struggling with bad breath if your tongue is dirty. With a toothbrush, gently rub the surface of your tongue several times each time you brush your teeth. Do not rub too hard so that the tongue tissue is not damaged.
- Finish with a mouth freshener. Gargle the solution for 20 seconds, then spit it out.
Method 2 of 5: Hair Styling
Step 1. Trim your hair by trimming it regularly
Even if you try to lengthen it, your hair still needs to be trimmed regularly so it doesn't split. You can visit a professional hair stylist, or cut it yourself. Whatever your choice, consider the following schedule:
- If you want your hair to stay short, trim the ends every 2-3 weeks. Make sure you or your stylist shave off any hair that grows at the nape of the neck.
- If you intend to grow your hair longer, trim the ends every 4-6 weeks. Even though it will be covered with hair, make sure the hair that grows at the nape of the neck is neatly trimmed.
Step 2. Diligently wash your hair
Daily shampooing works for most men, although you can loosen it up to every other day if your hair is relatively dry. Choose a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. If you have dry or split ends, choose a sulfate-free shampoo, one that doesn't contain sodium laureth sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate.
- Look for a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type, whether it's dry, oily, etc.
- Buy shampoo and conditioner separately, shampoo and conditioner combination products don't have the same effect.
- Ask your hair stylist for advice because they are the experts! If you buy shampoo and conditioner from a hairdresser, they may cost more than regular products, but they may be of better quality.
Step 3. Use hair styling products (optional)
You don't have to use hair styling products, but most men choose this method. In addition to making hair look shinier and healthier, they offer hair styling that lasts longer and is more manageable. Here are some products that are commonly used to style men's hair:
- Serum or cream. This product makes it easy to manage loose hair or untangle frizzy hair without making your hair stiff and unruly.
- Mousse. Use mousse to add volume and shine to your hair, with minimal staying power. For best results, apply to damp hair, and allow to dry.
- Hair oil such as pomade, hair wax, or hair clay. Use these products to style your hair into difficult shapes, such as the pompadour (a hairstyle popularized by Elvis Presley) or curls (for straight hair). Be careful, you will need to shampoo several times to clean these products, so apply only a small amount. The size of a pea should be enough if you have short, medium, or thin hair. Use pomade or hair wax for a shiny, wet look. Use hair clay for a more natural look without shine.
- Gel. Unlike pomade, gel contains alcohol which dries hair and makes hair stiffer. To make it last longer, apply the gel to wet hair.
- Hair glue. Curious how some people can get a mohawk straight? They may use some kind of hair glue, which offers the most resistance. Be careful of the accumulation of this product, and wash your hair thoroughly.
- Ask your hair stylist for advice! They know which products are right for your hair.
Step 4. Comb your hair in a style that suits you
You may need to try again and again to find a hairstyle that suits your face shape and style, but in the end you will get the perfect everyday look. Consider the following options:
- Part hair. You can part your hair in the middle or the sides. Or even without a cleavage. Try a few different styles. Take a look, which one do you prefer?
- Comb hair in one direction. Instead of parting it, you can try combing the top of your hair in one direction. If you have short hair, try combing it forward. If it's long enough, try to comb it backwards or upwards (spike). Again, experiment with different styles.
- For long hair, you can pull it back and tie it into a ponytail, styling it so that it fits your face (when viewed from the front). Or, you can comb your hair back and tie only the top layer.
Step 5. Treat baldness (optional)
If you are experiencing baldness, maybe a cropped cut is the best cut or shave for you. With a hairstyle like that, the difference between the two areas is not very clear. Make sure you wash your hair after exercising. If not, you might go bald faster. In addition, gently massage the scalp every time you shower.
Method 3 of 5: Choosing Outfits
That said, a man is defined by the clothes he wears! You don't have to wear expensive clothes to look good, but the clothes you wear clearly reveal who you are. Consider starting your closet with these steps.
Step 1. Always dress well
Of course, every morning! Even if you just dress casual everyday, don't just pick up clothes. Choose clothes that fit and match your activities.
Step 2. Shop with friends
When buying clothes, you may find it difficult to choose clothes that fit, especially since you can't see your entire body in the mirror. Also, clothes that look good on celebrities or male models may not necessarily suit you! So, take a friend who looks good and knows enough about fashion to shop for clothes with you.
Step 3. Wear clothes that fit
You can wear the most expensive suit in the world and still look weird if it's too tight or too loose. Your clothes should fit your body. This means that the bottom of the pants should touch or cover the ankles, the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt should touch or cover the wrists, and the bottom of the shirt should touch the hips.
- Try on the whole outfit before buying it and ask your friends to see it from all sides! Do not rely on clothing sizing labels as they are only rough estimates.
- In general, the bottom of your trousers should not touch your shoes. Meanwhile, the long sleeves of the shirt should cover the elbows and the bottom hem should touch the hips. Even your underwear has to be the right size!
- Be prepared to try on several pieces of clothing before buying it. If there are no clothes that look good on you in one store, go to another. Do not settle and buy clothes that look ordinary.
- Don't buy clothes online because you won't be able to try them on beforehand so chances are they won't fit. Also, without trying on clothes first, you won't know if they look good when you're wearing them (even if they look great on the model in the photo!)
- Don't try to hide your body. Whether you're embarrassed that you're too fat or thin, trying to hide it in loose-fitting clothes will only make you look worse. You don't have to wear clothes that fit perfectly, but you should avoid clothes that are too loose or loose.
- If the finished garment doesn't fit your size, look for a tailor that is not too expensive. Maybe your hips are small, but your legs are long, so you don't have a pair of jeans to match. Buy clothes that are slightly larger than your body size and take them to a tailor to adjust them. Most laundromats also offer a sizing service for a fairly low price.
- Get rid of old clothes. You might like an old T-shirt from high school. However, the size may not fit anymore. The size and shape of your clothes and body change over time. While they may still fit, clothes you've had for two or three years may look worn and out of date.
Step 4. Know how to bring out your best body shape
Here's a basic dress code: light colors highlight, dark colors hide. For example, if you like your shoulders but don't really like your feet, try wearing dark jeans and a light t-shirt.
Step 5. Identify the colors that work for you
The right color will make your skin look amazing, while the wrong color can make you look dull and pale. Here are some tests you can try:
- Decide, you look better wearing white or ivory? Try holding a plain white shirt at face level, then switch to an ivory shirt. If you're like most people, one of the two colors seems to suit your skin better. Then continue to wear that one color.
- Decide, you look better wearing black or brown? The difference isn't as stark as white and ivory, but some people look better in black, while others do better in brown. Once you make a choice, don't mix and match the colors. For example, don't wear brown shoes and a brown belt with black pants. Wear black shoes, a black belt, and black pants. Or chocolate.
- "warm" or "cool" colors, which do you prefer? Cool colors are generally a series of blues, purples, dark greens, and bluish reds. While warm colors are generally a series of yellow, orange, brown, and yellowish red colors. An easy way to find the answer is to hold two pieces of clothing at face level; one is bluish red, the other is yellowish red. Which one seems to suit your skin better? If you need help distinguishing warm and cool colors, look online for color charts that show them.
Step 6. Fill your closet with timeless basic clothes
The clothes don't go out of style too quickly, and should be made of quality materials so they will last for years. Choose a polo shirt in plain colors, a plain or plaid button-up shirt, dark blue jeans, a plain black and white t-shirt (no ads or graphic designs), a plain colored blazer, dark fabric pants, a dark jacket that fits perfectly your body, formal shoes with laces, and white sneakers. You can always mix and match them for an alluring look.
Step 7. Wash clothes regularly
Some clothes can be worn several times before they get dirty (like jeans or jackets), but shirts, panties, and socks can only be worn once before you need to wash them. Set a regular schedule for washing clothes so you don't waste time in the morning looking for something clean.
- When washing t-shirts and pants, machine dry them until they are slightly damp. Then, hang the clothes to dry. This method is useful for reducing wrinkles on clothes.
- It's a good idea to iron your clothes before they dry completely. Jeans should also be ironed.
- Store clothes (other than underwear) in a hanging closet or after they are neatly folded so they don't wrinkle.
Method 4 of 5: Be Attractive
Step 1. Practice good posture
While it may seem irrelevant, standing up straight makes you appear more confident and in control, which is attractive to other people. Keep your shoulders straight, spine straight, and try to place your hips in the middle of your legs. Walk with confidence, don't drag your feet. Also, don't stare at the ground.
Step 2. Smile
Smiling sincerely at someone is one of the easiest things you can do to immediately appear attractive. Diligently practice smiling. Think of things that can easily expand your smile.
Develop a warm sense of humor. Find joy and laughter in the silly aspects of life, and don't be afraid to share it with others. Avoid joking about physical appearance, sexual activity, and SARA
Step 3. Make eye contact
When you talk to someone (especially someone you like), show your interest, and pay attention to them by making consistent eye contact.
Use eye contact to flirt. Lyrics several times to the person sitting near you or across the room until he or she catches your glance. Maintain eye contact for a second, smile, then avert your gaze
Step 4. Be a real man
You don't have to act rigid to show concern and concern for others. Say, "Please," "Thank you, and, "Sorry," and show your courtesy by opening the door for those walking behind you.
- Respect others. Don't break their trust. Don't be rude if you don't have to. When someone tries to provoke your emotions, walk away calmly--this shows that you won't fall to the same level as them.
- Don't swear or make rude comments in public. It's okay to relax and not hold back around friends or family, but avoid this way of speaking around people you don't really know.
Step 5. Know how to spark a conversation
A competent speaker can make those around him feel comfortable and relaxed. Know how to ask -- lightly -- how someone is doing, and make sure that the topic leads to other topics of conversation. Ask open-ended questions. For example, instead of asking, "Do you have any plans this weekend?" to a simple yes or no answer, you might as well ask, "What are your plans for this weekend?" Avoid sensitive topics like politics and religion.
To hone your conversational skills, try conversing with strangers you meet the next time you're out in public, such as at a bus stop or while waiting in line at a convenience store. If you get a genuine smile and a few words back from that person, you're doing pretty well
Step 6. Speak clearly and carefully
When talking to other people, try not to mumble or rush. Form complete sentences, and avoid opening your mouth until you know exactly what you are going to say. Otherwise, you might embarrass yourself!
Method 5 of 5: Taking Care of the Body
Step 1. Eat healthy foods
Apply a healthy diet so that you avoid bad breath and bad body odor. Also maintain your health and slimness. Try implementing some of the following guidelines in your diet:
- Avoid low-nutrient and high-sugar foods. It's okay if you eat it occasionally, but don't eat it every day. Limit your consumption of soda, beer, candy, potato chips, and other unhealthy foods to one day per week.
- Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables. You may have heard it hundreds of times, but fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. Try choosing fresh fruits, such as apples, oranges, and pears, as a snack. Include at least one type of vegetable in your lunch and dinner menu.
- Learn to prepare your own food. Start with the easy ones, like poaching eggs, making sandwiches and salads, cooking burgers and steaks, heating frozen vegetables, cooking rice and pasta. Apart from saving you money, this habit can both nourish you and impress others!
Step 2. Exercise
Regular physical activity not only makes your body look more attractive, but also boosts your spirits and keeps you away from disease. Set a schedule you can stick to, and stick with it. Here are some suggestions to get you started:
- Do basic stretches like sit-ups, push-ups, and other exercises every day. Repeat consistently. Then, as your muscles build, increase the amount of exercise--the results will be visible right away!
-
Try doing various weightlifting sessions. Do as much as you can, but don't push yourself too hard, and rest for a few days to allow your muscles to recover and build. Exercising too hard every day is not good! But, what if your body becomes too muscular? No need to worry. The bodybuilders in the magazine look that big because lifting weights is their main livelihood. You won't experience it.
The main types of weightlifting include Bench Press (lifting weights while lying down), Squats (squatting), Military Press (lifting weights while sitting, with the load moving forward when the load is lowered), Deadlift (lifting weights from a squatting position to standing), and Curls (biceps exercise, usually with a barbell). If you need to work your chest muscles, consider the Incline Press (similar to the Bench Press, but with a higher arm angle). If you need a tougher workout, consider Power Clean (lift weights like bodybuilding), Push-press (similar to Military Press, but with a push from the legs). If that's not enough, try the Bar Snatch (lifting weights while squatting), lifting weights above your head so your arms are straight up, lifting weights from the floor in a squatting position to standing, or other types of weight lifting. If you have a game membership card, use it as often as possible, then use a machine such as a "lat pulldown" to perfect your workout
- Walk, jog, cycle, or run for 30 minutes or as far as 1.5 to 3 kilometers (if you cycle, run, jog, or walk to get to school or work, then you are said to have exercised; good activity for the stomach, legs, and back). This activity makes your body system more flexible and better prepared for challenges.
- Consider exercising in the morning. This activity nourishes the skin and keeps it looking attractive throughout the day. As long as you don't forget to take a shower! Sometimes, due to a busy day, you sweat. The sweat definitely doesn't smell good. Taking a shower after the sweating process can get rid of that unpleasant body odor.
Step 3. Improve your intelligence
For some women, nothing is more attractive than male intelligence. Study and work hard to get good grades. Read every day, and read the newspapers so you know the latest news.
Tips
- Always consider other people's feelings. If you keep talking about yourself, the only friend you will have is yourself.
- Don't be rude or intentionally belittle others in public. Such behavior can actually create a negative impression of you. Be polite!
- Be brave in front of women. They like it when you can stay strong and protect them when they're scared.
- Don't pay too much attention to your crush. You might be considered a "stalker". Talk to him. If it turns out that he doesn't like you, just accept it. Why waste your precious time on something you can't achieve? If you maintain your self-respect and stop bothering him and then shift your attraction to someone else, he may end up liking you.
- Don't spit on the ground when you walk.
- If a pimple or two appears on your face, don't worry too much. Everyone experiences it several times during their growth period. As long as you don't make a fuss about it, other people won't even notice. To deal with the occasional pimple, forget about "anti-acne" medications. Simply compress the pimple with a warm towel for a few hours. Most pimples appear only for a few days, unless skin irritation or infection has occurred.
- Don't change your make-up to be cool all of a sudden; You will look like you are trying too hard to be someone else. Make the changes gradually over a month. Make sure your behavior and that of your friends are also supportive.
-
Don't try to be someone different. It's okay to explore and develop different aspects of your personality, but don't force yourself to be something different from how you really feel. So yourself is actually attractive. Other people can sniff your pretense anyway. If someone can't respect you for who you are, then they don't deserve your time and attention, do they?
If you find your personality unattractive, think about the parts of your personality that you find less attractive. Be aware of disturbing tendencies, both to you and to others. Hide the habit. Or, be aware of when it occurs. And, once it happens, get rid of it! After a long time, there wouldn't be any bad personality left. As long as you look attractive, girls like it
- Sneeze to clear your nose. Nobody likes a man's snort, and most people are disgusted by the sight of dirt stuck to a man's nose. To avoid this, always carry a handkerchief, and use it!
- When you're trying to impress your crush, never--under any circumstances--show your weakness. Even when he didn't say anything! He may not be aware of your weaknesses, but he may even know after you point them out.
- Don't watch too much TV! Your blinking will decrease, and your eyes may dry out from it. As a result, dark circles appear around the eyes! This sedentary lifestyle also leads to weight gain and bad habits, such as reduced time to prepare meals or exercise, which may be against your will to improve yourself--the biggest reason you're reading this article!
- Sleep no less than 8 hours! A good sleep pattern ensures you won't be tired all day long. The benefits: you're more alert, quicker to think and learn, and have better physical coordination (meaning less careless!). In terms of appearance, getting enough sleep reduces puffiness or dark circles around the eyes and refreshes the skin. The risk of getting diseases (including dark spots!) is also less because the immune system improves.
- Take up competitive sports like football or basketball so you can meet new people and gain new experiences.
- If you have a big nose or ears, grow your hair out to disguise it.
- Don't be afraid to be arrogant! Arrogance isn't always a bad thing, as long as it's not too much. Arrogance affects your self-confidence, which makes you appear more attractive to the girls around you!
