These tips are easy ways to enhance your appearance with minimal effort and maximum impact. They support increased happiness and confidence and will benefit anyone of any age, gender, size, or ethnicity.

Even if you’re already familiar with these tips and incorporate some of them into your routine, having a friendly reminder is always helpful. After all, we all need a little nudge now and then to stay on track with our appearance goals. 

Moisturise your face and body every day

Use a morning face cream with SPF to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. The SPF component reduces the risk of skin cancer, sunburn, and discolouration (e.g. freckles). It also helps to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

Tip: If your skin allows, apply a gentle face exfoliant or mask once a week. If you have rosacea or other skin conditions, ask a specialist for advice on the most suitable options.

Using face and body moisturisers daily helps keep your skin dewy and hydrated.

Trim or cut your hair regularly

Split ends need attention, so book an appointment every six weeks to keep your hair looking healthy and well-maintained. It’s a good idea to book your next hairdresser appointment at the end of the one you’re currently at. Of course, clean and conditioned hair is a given 🙂

Wear a well-fitting and supportive bra

Like the rest of your body, your breasts change size and shape, so it’s important to get fitted for a new bra every year. Over time, your bras lose shape, too—the elasticised fabric loosens, and straps become slack, offering little or no support. Whether your breasts are small or large, saggy breasts are perceived as ageing. Staff at lingerie stores and large department stores will help you find your perfect fit.

Wear colours that complement your skin tone, hair, and eyes

Colours that suit you draw attention to your face and away from your body. They brighten your skin and make you look more vibrant. They also help diminish dark circles under your eyes and visually lessen double chins and jowls — there’s lots to love! You can see in the example below how one set of colours stands out, and the other is harmonious.

Prioritise fit and quality

When it comes to your clothes and shoes, always prioritise fit and quality of materials. When your clothes and shoes fit well, they’re comfortable. It is possible to find comfortable, stylish items. They may need some tweaking, like taking up a hem or running in the side seams. It’s worth it in the end because you’ll enjoy wearing the item and want to wear it repeatedly, which equates to a great cost per item. Cost per wear is a concept that helps you understand the value of your purchase. For example, if you buy a top for $ 100 and wear it 100 times, it costs you $ 1 per wear – an excellent investment in your wardrobe!

When you shop in-store, you have the advantage of trying on the item, which gives you a clear idea of how it fits and looks. If you prefer online shopping, use the measurement guide to find your best size, and remember that most online stores have a return policy if the item doesn’t fit quite right.

Tip: Remember that brand names and the price on the swing tag don’t guarantee that the item will fit you well.

Declutter your wardrobe

Simplify your wardrobe by culling items that no longer fit, are uncomfortable, are unrepairable, or are unflattering in colour or style for your body shape. For example, if you have a structured blazer you bought for a job interview years ago but now feels tight and restrictive, and you never wear it because no one else in the office wears blazers, it’s time to let it go.

When your wardrobe is filled with items that complement your body shape and align with your personal style, you’ll enhance your overall appearance and remove any temptation to wear clothes that don’t suit you. And as a bonus, you’ll find it easier to assemble stylish outfits for any occasion.

Add accessories to your outfits.

Enhance your outfits by including accessories. Whether you prefer a more minimalist approach, lean towards maximalism, or fall somewhere in between, incorporating jewellery, a bold handbag, a stylish scarf, a chic belt, or eye-catching headwear can elevate and complete your look.

When in doubt, dress up

You’re doing this for yourself – to feel confident and comfortable for any occasion. Is it a quick fix like shining scuffed shoes or mending the hem of your pants? Or is it swapping a tatty tee for a higher-quality stretch cotton top? It still has the same vibe and takes the look up a notch.

If you usually wear jeans to a party, consider adding a blazer, loafers, or stylish boots. How about trying on a nice pair of pants or wearing that skirt or dress that’s been hanging in your wardrobe forever?

Enhance your appearance with a smile!

It’s human nature to be attracted to people who smile and engage with the world. They’re seen as happy and more fun to be around. Plus, you gain the benefits of increased dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, the body’s hormones that make you feel good. Smiling puts you in a better mood and sends a positive message to those around you. It’s a big win-win for everyone! 🙂

Smile to enhance your appearance 🙂
