When meeting
someone for the first time, the first impression you make will leave an imprint
of your appearance to the other party. The way you look in terms of style and
hygiene are the biggest factors with an initial impression. Although it may seem
shallow to concentrate on personal appearance only, it is one of the most
essential facets of making a good impression. In utilizing a few tips and
tricks, you can put your best face forward everyday.
Exfoliate the Skin
Although
bathing seems like an elementary part of hygiene, most people do not understand
that bathing in conjunction with exfoliation is essential to keep skin clean
and rejuvenated. By exfoliating the skin with face and body scrubs, it reduces
blackheads, blemishes and sloughs off dead skin cells. If left untreated, skin
can have a dull appearance. Exfoliating with a skin or body scrub can turn skin
from muddy to ruddy. If you are not able to purchase expensive body scrubs,
simple household items such as baking soda are great ways to exfoliate on a
budget. Pure baking soda is a natural product and can be used with or without
your favorite soaps and body washes. In utilizing exfoliators, you will reveal
glowing, healthy skin.
Dress Appropriately
Although
current trends may suggest certain styles of clothing, every body type cannot
accommodate those styles, therefore, it important to select clothing that is
appropriate for your body type. For example if you're a woman or man that has a
larger bottom half, don't opt for clothing that will accentuate larger hips
such as low rise jeans or skinny leg jeans. In order to gain a better grasp of
your body type, simply stand in front of a mirror and look at the size and
proportions of your body to figure out your body type. Once you have done so,
you can then begin to dress it accordingly.
Choosing Appropriate
Hairstyle
When
choosing a hairstyle, take into consideration the type of lifestyle that you
lead. For example, if you are a public speaker, red and green streaks will not
showcase a qualified professional. Choose hairstyle options that fit your
lifestyle. Oval shapes can wear virtually any hairstyle, both long and short.
Rectangle or square face shapes should opt for styles that create layers and
curves to fill any linear areas of the face. Round faces may appear too full
and pudgy in the cheek areas, therefore styles that add volume to the top
should be employed to make the face appear slighter longer. Triangle and
diamond shaped faces should opt for sweeping bangs and fringes to soften harsh
lines. Nevertheless, choose hairstyles that will enhance your features while
creating the illusion of an oval face.
Remain Clean-shaven
First,
it is important to keep a clean-shaven appearance. Although this may seem
directed towards men, women also have amounts of facial hair that can be seen
by other people. Excess amount of body hair are also unsightly and may cause
sweating and body odor. Therefore, keep the face and body neat and clean.
Try Different Deodorants
You
may notice that at different times of the year, your favorite deodorant may not
be working for you as well. Changes in climate as well as hormonal changes can
cause a deodorant's odor and wetness fighting ability to slowly taper off. This
is the time to try different deodorants. After you have found a few that work,
keep them in your arsenal for those times when change is needed.
