Step
Method 1 of 3: Doing Daily Care
Step 1. Take a shower every day
One of the important rules in self-care is to keep the body clean! Therefore, make sure you always start the day with a shower using soap and shampoo. Do this every day unless there is a health problem that prohibits you from doing it.
Some soaps don't even contain – or are low in – chemicals so they are safer to use for sensitive skin
Step 2. Put on deodorant
After showering, make sure you smell fresh by wearing deodorant. If your skin is prone to allergies, choose an aluminum-free deodorant or a deodorant specifically designed for sensitive skin. Find the scent that suits you best!
Step 3. Brush your teeth regularly
At the very least, brush your teeth in the morning and at night; however, you can also do it at a different time if you feel the need.
Also clean your teeth with floss once a day. If you don't have time, doing it twice a week will have the same positive impact. Remember, flossing will wash away the bacteria that have built up on your teeth; If left unchecked, the buildup of bacteria can make your breath smell bad, you know
Step 4. Shave or lengthen your hair
Not everyone needs to shave the fine hairs on the face, legs, or other parts of the body. If you just want to shave your face and armpits, feel free to do so. For men who are reluctant to shave their faces, at least make sure the hairs that grow on your face remain neat and well-groomed.
- Most women feel obliged to shave their legs and armpit hair. However, there are also people who don't want to do it because men can look neat even if they don't.
- Do things that are comfortable for you to do. Remember, one of the important keys to looking well-groomed is to appear confident!
- If your skin is sensitive, you should not shave too often and use a special shaving cream for sensitive skin.
Step 5. Bring the essentials
Make sure you always carry a “rescue box” with you when you leave the house. You can put all the important items together in a small bag or plastic clip; make sure you bring supplies to deal with dry skin, broken nails, or messy hair. Some of the things you should bring:
- Lotion or vaseline
- Small comb
- Menthol candy
- Small glass
- Pin
- Hair band
- Perfume or cologne
- Small towel
- Small box of sewing tools
Step 6. Style your hair (for men)
Basically, any hairstyle will look cool if styled with the right technique. Some styling products you can try:
- Pomade is effective in making short, textured hair look neater.
- Wax is effective in making hair look neater and shiny.
- Mud and fiber are suitable to be applied to make medium-cut hair look neater.
- A powerful cream that makes long hair look smoother and less frizzy.
- The gel is suitable for producing the appearance of wet and strong hair.
Step 7. Style your hair (for women)
Before styling, understand your hair type first. Try checking the thickness of your hair by counting how many times you have to tie your hair in one go. If you only need to tie it once, it means your hair is thick. If you need to tie 2-3 times, it means your hair is of medium thickness. If it needs to be tied more than 3 times, it means that your hair is thin. After styling, use a hairdryer with a power of over 1800 watts to keep your hair looking smooth, shiny and tangle free.
- Want to curl your hair? Make sure you apply a light cream or vitamin first while your hair is still wet. After that, dry your hair and straighten it using a curling iron. After straightening, make hair texture last longer by spraying anti-tangle spray.
- Straighten hair. Choose a curling iron made of ceramic and prepare your hair well before starting to straighten it. Also use a special shampoo and conditioner for hair to be straightened.
- Give your hair more volume by applying a special gel to wet hair. Do this step at night and tie your hair in a bun before going to bed. Undoubtedly, your hair texture will look healthier and more attractive in the morning!
- Wear a hat if all of the above methods fail.
Method 2 of 3: Wearing Appropriate Clothing
Step 1. Put on clean clothes
Make sure you always fold your clothes after cleaning and drying them so they don't wrinkle. If you find stains on your clothes, wash them immediately. Make sure there are no dangling threads; also make sure the collar is clean and tidy.
- Caring for clothes is a form of taking care of yourself.
- If necessary, clean the clothes using a lint roller.
Step 2. Clean the fine lint that has accumulated on the surface of the clothes
Over time, the fine fibers and threads contained in clothing can accumulate on the surface of the clothing. Don't worry, you don't need to prepare special tools to clean it. Gently, use a standard sized shaver to scrape off the layer of fine fibers. After that, use a lint roller to perfect the result.
Use the shaver gently and without rushing; be careful, your clothes can rip or hole if you are not careful
Step 3. Wear clothes that you like
If you don't like the clothes you see, switch to something else that suits your taste. Remember, humans have a tendency to take more care of the things they love. Besides being able to increase your confidence, wearing clothes you like will also make you look more charming!
If there are clothes or pants that you like but don't fit well, try taking them to a tailor
Step 4. Wear neat and fashion clothes
Understand the prevailing trends by observing the clothes worn by others and in your opinion, fall into the neat and well-groomed category. In general, keep your appearance simple but charming. Of course you don't have to wear expensive or flashy clothes every day; most importantly, wear clothes that can highlight the features of your body without looking too much.
- Already know the type of clothing that suits you? From now on, don't hesitate to wear it!
- Love your body shape. No matter what your body shape is, you can always find clothes that can highlight it in a positive way.
- Wear clothes that are the right size; do not choose clothes that are too loose or tight.
- Make sure you always try on clothes before buying them; if possible, ask someone else's opinion first.
Step 5. Put on clean and polished shoes
Generally, shoes are the first thing people will see. Did you know that the shoes you wear can reflect the personality of the wearer? If your shoes look dirty and dusty, clean them before putting them on!
Step 6. Put on a perfume with a pleasant scent
Complete the look by spraying a little perfume, cologne, or similar fragrances. Be careful, there are people who are really allergic to certain fragrances. No matter what type of perfume you choose, make sure it smells coy; a smell that is too strong will actually make people reluctant to be close to you.
If you have trouble choosing the right perfume, try going to a beauty store and choosing a fragrance that is made from essential oils. In addition to having a pleasant smell, essential oils are also able to improve your mood and reduce stress, you know
Step 7. Give extra care for leather goods
At least twice a year, collect all leather items and clean them thoroughly. If the surface starts to look dry and pocked, immediately apply a special cream to improve the texture. If possible, try to ask the experts for recommendations because every skin type is actually different.
- Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. If you want, you can use a special soap for leather; most importantly, make sure the skin doesn't end up getting too wet.
- Do not dry leather items in direct sunlight.
Method 3 of 3: Taking Care of Appearance
Step 1. Trim your hair regularly and make sure you always style it well
A neat haircut can represent a better self-image. Therefore, cut your hair at least once a month to keep it neat. Even if you plan to grow your hair out, at least always take the time to trim the split ends; Doing so is effective in promoting healthier hair growth, you know!
Get to know your hairdresser well. While at the salon, try to schedule the next hair treatment process to ensure that your hair remains in good condition
Step 2. Shampoo if necessary
Usually, people with straight hair wash their hair more often than people with curly hair (especially since straight hair looks greasy more easily). So far, the negative impact of daily shampooing on hair moisture and scalp health is still being debated.
- When applying shampoo, prioritize the area of your scalp. In fact, the scalp is the most important part that must be cleaned with shampoo.
- If your hair is frizzy and very dry, try applying conditioner more often than shampooing.
- Use conditioner from the middle to the ends of the hair; these parts are more prone to dry, damaged, and broken.
Step 3. Trim your nails
In fact, shorter nails will look neater; in particular, men should be diligent in trimming their nails! If you are reluctant to cut your nails, at least take good care of your nails. Feel free to go to the salon for a manicure if you need to!
Don't bite your nails. Getting used to it will make your nails look messy and unsightly. Trim nails using special scissors; if you want, you can also tidy it up in a special salon
Step 4. Mirror
Re-examine how you look in the mirror before leaving the house; do this to make sure there's nothing that could potentially mess up your look, such as:
- Traces of redness on the face
- wrinkled clothes
- Messy hair
- Less sturdy collar
- Clothes that are faded
Tips
- Wash your face twice a day so that your face does not become a wet ground for acne.
- Apply moisturizer right after showering so your skin doesn't dry out.
