Q&A for How to Improve Your Appearance

Start by going through your wardrobe and making sure you have a good selection of basics that fit you well—like plain tops, pants, and denim. Then, you can start adding in statement pieces, accessories, and comfortable shoes to create interesting outfits.

If you have acne, wash twice a day with a mild cleanse. Pluck your eyebrows to give it a more natural shape. Put on daily moisturizer so your skin isn't dry, and keep lips smooth with lip balm.

You could straighten your hair regularly, either chemically or using a straightener, but this method is going to damage your hair over time. (If you do choose to straighten it, make sure to use some kind of heat protectant spray.) If you want your curls to be more manageable, try using a shampoo and conditioner designed for curly hair. (If your curls are dry and frizzy, look for a shampoo and conditioner that's specifically designed to moisturize your hair.) Also, use a leave-in conditioner and some styling gel to keep your curls looking nice.

Try under eye brightening masks or wear concealer! Some popular drugstore concealers are Maybelline Fit Me or Loreal Pro Matte or Pro Glo. Just choose the one that matches your skin type.

Focus on finding out why you have trouble sleeping. For example, make sure you aren't using too many electronics right before bed. wikiHow also has some articles that can help you get rid of bags when you do have them, like How to Reduce Bags Under Your Eyes and How to Get Rid of Bags Under Your Eyes.

Talk to your doctor. Medication can help.

Applying Vitamin E or Bio Oil daily will help reduce the appearance of scars.

You may not look like women in the magazines or images on television, but that's okay. True beauty comes from within. Exercise, eat a healthy diet, sleep well, take care of your daily hygiene. Don't worry too much about your looks.

Probably, but it varies from person to person. Some people sweat more than others, for example.

Generally speaking, if you believe in what you say with sincerity, the other person will hear that in your tone of voice and see it in your body language. In any case, it can be useful to make sure that your tone of voice and choice of words match your body language and overall content of what you are expressing. For instance, if I am telling someone that I care about them and love them, I do that with a tone of voice that sounds sincere by putting some emotion in my voice that matches that and use body language that fits. It also helps if you are usually honest with people and upfront and do not lie to them or make too many sarcastic jokes. That way you build up trust and a reputation.

When you wash your face, make sure your hands are clean first. Try to find a cleanser that meets your needs. Avoid greasy foods. Use chapstick or lip balm for your chapped lips and if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor because you might be allergic to something and that is making your lips chapped.

Consider waxing it off. Tell your parents you want to wax your legs and buy waxing strips made for sensitive skin. Cut the strips into an appropriate size and wax your upper lip. Do not wax anywhere else on your face though. Also, it will hurt and it can leave red marks, which they may make comments about. You could also ask them to give you help instead of being unkind to you about it; ask them how they would feel if someone mocked them for something that is a natural part of them.

Get your eyebrows dyed, tinted, tattooed or microbladed. The possibilities are endless. You could also just put makeup on them.

Embrace your unique features by getting a flattering haircut and using makeup to highlight your eyes and cheekbones. Wear clothes that make you feel confident and experiment with different styles to find what suits you best. Carry yourself with confidence, as how you feel about yourself influences how others perceive you. A genuine smile can enhance your overall appearance and make you more approachable. Remember, everyone has unique features, and confidence is key to looking great!
