You might be considering joining the gym to get toned,
considering taking up long distance running, or going
in for therapy! Whatever it is, making long term changes
in your life can take time. But if you want to
transform your appearance in very little time with minimal
effort, we’re here to help you! Most of you know these ideas
already, but might not have bothered to implement them.
If you have a special occasion coming up - a date or an
interview or a wedding to attend - try out these tips
to look your fashionable and well-groomed best.
Tip 1: Use that iron
A crumpled shirt or wrinkled pants will do nothing
for your appearance! Make sure to get your clothes
ironed by your cornerpress-wala, or else do it yourself.
If you are doing it, make sure that you use long continuous
strokes and fold your fabrics properly, so that there
aren’t any wrinkles left when you eventually wear it. This will
take you less than five minutes to do if you do it yourself
and will instantly give you a perky appearance.
Tip 2: Floss gives you gloss
Dental hygiene experts recommend flossing teeth at
least once a day. We recommend that you floss mainly
because it will add charm to your smile to when you flash
glistening teeth, and of course if there is any left over food
particles stuck in between your teeth, it will get rid of them
and save you embarrassment.
Tip 3: Spit and polish
Sigh, you might think! Here they go again about the
shoes, but we guarantee that unless you pay attention
to the quality and shine of your shoes, all your efforts
at looking your best could be ruined by just your pair
of scuffed and worn shoes. Make sure you take time
to polish your shoes, keep them free of dirt and grime,
and polish them regularly. The whole process shouldn’t
take you more than a couple of minutes but it will guarantee
that it gets you the compliments.
Tip 4: A ‘Hair’y affair
Though hair on men is a sign of masculinity, and most men
don’t like to go for that waxed salman look. Having visible
tufts of hair growing out embarrassing orifices and crevices
of your body is not going to do anything to enhance your
appearance. Check your ears and nose for stray hairs,
the back of your neck and your eyebrows and most
importantly your armpits, especially if you planning
to wear something sleeveless. Though your whole body
does deserve your attention when it comes to
trimming hair and keeping yourself well-groomed, in a situation
where you are pressed for time and want to look your
best, check these five areas and you’ll be safe. Unless
you’re as hairy as a bear, this process shouldn’t take you
more than five or ten minutes.
Tip 5: Feel like a change
A great way to give yourself an interesting new look,
is to change the way you wear your facial hair. Try a
goatee or a soul patch like the one Aamir Khan had
in Dil Chahta Hai. If your beard has grown long, trim
it properly or shave it off, depending on what you prefer
. Don’t worry too much about not getting it right,
because if you do mess up with styling it with your razor
and scissors, there is always the option of going clean
shaven. This again should take you a maximum of half hour.
Tip 6: Accessorize
If you happen to like jewelry, try a tasteful bracelet
or a sedate ring. Feel daring? Go in for a necklace.
But don’t overdo the jewelry or you could end up
looking like a drug lord or hip-hop star! But if you do
not like wearing jewelry, then make sure you wear
a smart watch. Whatever you choose, make
sure it suits your personality and that you wear it well.
If you’re unsure about jewelry, it’s best to skip it altogether
rather than overshadowing your date’s jewelry with yours.
Tip 7: Keep your nails clean
If you put your arm around your date and she spies dirty
or untrimmed nails, your chances of a second date
would be pretty slim. To make a lasting impression, and
to convey the image of a man who takes care of his
appearance, it’s necessary to keep your nails clean,
trimmed and filed. To make your nails look good,
clip your nails, scrape away any dirt under it, and
then use warm water and soap to wash your nails. If
you have a few minutes more, file your nails. Clean your
cuticles and push them back and rub on some hand cream.
Of course, if you have the time to go to a men’s
salon, get a manicure. All it takes is 10 minutes of
your time to guarantee a second look.
Tip 8: Exfoliate
Pick a good exfoliating scrub from your local chemist
to give your face that instant glow. A good scrub will
remove dead cells, and give your face a quick boost.
Use some warm water to wet your face, apply the
scrub in strokes and then rinse. Follow this up with
some moisturizer to keep your skin looking fresh and
to keep it from becoming dry. All this takes is three to
five minutes.
Tip 9: Workout
Though a continuous and regular fitness program is
very important to maintain your fitness levels, even
a short workout can make a difference. Spend a
little time doing some strength training exercises -
push-ups, bicep curls and sit-ups. If you continue
these short workouts, they can actually help build
muscle mass over time. Besides, they also give
you a confidence boost and give your muscles
some needed definition.
Tip 10: Kissable Lips
In winters, lip balm can save you from the painful
blushes that chapped lips can cause. But it’s best to
buy a tube to use throughout the year, because no
date will want to cozy up to you if you have dry and
chapped lips. It takes a few seconds. Stick to one
that is unscented and non-flavored because you won’t
be tempted to lick it off.
This whole process shouldn’t take you too long and
will make sure that you look well-groomed and smart.
You can work on making these tips a part of your daily
routine so that looking good isn’t restricted to
a few special occasions. After all, appearance always
does matter
