Skincare

When you want to look good with no makeup, healthy skin is the key.

So you have to prep your skin to make it look its best. Clearly, it can’t be done in just 5 minutes if you don’t take care of your skin daily.

Assuming you are going without makeup in the daytime, the skincare routine will be an AM routine.

Ok, so let’s get started.

1. Cleanse

The first step is cleansing.

Make your face clean for prepping it up. It makes your skin free from dirt, sweat, and all the grime.

I have been using the Cetaphil gentle moisturizer for a couple of months. And I am in love with the results!

If you have an oily acne prone skin type, you can go for the oily skin cleanser from Cetaphil. You can check it out here.

2. Icing

This is an optional step to do before you moisturize your face. But if you have at least 2 minutes extra, go for this additional step.

This step makes your skin ultra smooth and minimizes your pore appearance.

It also helps to depuff your undereye areas, making them look youthful. You can use an easy-to-use ice roller for this step.

3. Moisturize

Then comes the moisturizing part. Remember that hydration is the key to healthy skin,

I highly recommend Pond’s super light gel moisturizer, which is very affordable and works like expensive ones.

Another bomb moisturizer I love is from Dot & Key. You can check it out here.

The best part is both of them suit all skin types.

Pro Tip- After icing, apply a hyaluronic acid serum on your face when it is still damp.

This is an additional step. But this is worth it.

Especially if you have a dry skin type, you must try it. This makes your skin plump and hydrated. As a result, your skin looks healthy naturally.

4. Sunscreen

You’ve come to the last stage of your skincare routine now, which is protecting your skin. So apply your sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

Nowadays, they don’t only protect but make your skin hydrated and glowing.

Currently, I’m in love with the Aqualogica Glow+ Dewy sunscreen with SPF 50 PA+++. It makes my skin glow and look so healthy. You can check it out here.

But if your skin is oily, you should go for matte sunscreen like this one.

 Lipcare

1. Exfoliate

Exfoliating your lips will make your lips look youthful instantly.

Of course, you need an extra 1-2 minutes for this. But it’s worthy. You can go for a commercial one like this.

Or you can make a DIY lip scrub on your own. 

2. Moisturize 

Now apply a lip balm to hydrate your lips. Use a tinted lip balm that will make your lips look beautiful.

The lip balm from Nivea is my current favorite tinted lip balm. It hydrates and gives a natural tint to the lips, making them prettier. You can check it out here.

Enhance the Look

1. Curl the Lashes

Use an eyelash curler to give your eyes an extra definition. Try this when you’ve some spare time.

2. General Grooming Matters

Removing hair makes your face skin look brighter and smoother. There are so many hair removal techniques you can try out.

My favorite techniques are using trimmers and facial razors for facial hair. They are painless and do the job efficiently. I’ve been using the trimmer from Veet for years.

Facial razors are comparatively newer to me. Nowadays, I am using a facial razor from Sirona.

For body hair removal, I prefer to epilate. Well, it is painful. But it is one of the most effective methods. And repeated use makes things comfortable.

I have been using one from Philips for about 6-7 years. I couldn’t find that model now. But found another epilator from Philips with advanced features on Amazon.

3. Groom Your Brows 

Make sure that your brows are well-groomed. Get rid of excess brow hairs so that they look clean. Then use a small scissor to make them shaped.

Pro Tip– I highly recommend using an eyebrow enhancer to amp up your brow game to the next level.

• If your brows are light, use a brow filler like this. Make sure you pick the color that is close to your brow color. It helps to create thin hair-like strokes to make your brows fuller. Don’t fill the brows too much, as that will look fake.
• If your brows are dark enough, you may use a brow gel to make them placed as you want.

4. Clean Your Nails

Make sure that your nails are clean, and the polishes aren’t chipped.

Wearing polishes is fun, but changing them regularly could be tough on hectic days. Fake nails come to the rescue here.

You can try out this natural-looking nail set I found on Amazon.

5. Control Hair Frizz

For quickly handling frizziness take 1 or 2 pumps of hair serum. And apply it all over your hair with the help of your fingers.

I found the hair serum from Loreal Paris so much helpful in this job. It helps to detangle my hair so easily and controls the frizz. It comes in both 30 ml and 100 ml packages.

I’ll highly suggest you use this serum at least once. You can check it out here.

6. Choose the Right Hairstyle

Hairstyle matters a lot when it comes to your looks. So pick a hairstyle that fits you best.

You may add some cute accessories to level up your hairstyle game.

7. Pick the Right Color Dress

Have you ever observed that your complexion gets brighter when you wear dresses of certain colors? I think you’ve.

Well, there’s a whole color theory (1) behind this. So picking dresses of those colors can make you look more beautiful.

8. Have a Basic Sense of Dressing

When it comes to dressing, you need to know some basic dressing senses.

Like what colors go well, which bottom with which top etc. These small changes impact your looks a lot.

9. Take Care of Your Breath and Teeth

This one is obvious when it comes to grooming. Make sure that your teeth are clean and your breath is not bad.

My longtime favorite one is this.

10. Smell Nice

Smelling good can make you feel more confident and beautiful. So make sure that you don’t overlook it.

11. Maintain the Proper Posture

A proper posture can instantly elevate your overall appearance. And make you look confident.
