Over the years, we develop a style that works for us. Whether we are glamorous, like a street-style or even stayed true to our goth roots, finding the look we love and feel confident with gives us a spring in our step and makes us more attractive to everyone we meet. If you have your style down to a fine art, then now it’s time to get the substance right. Making the most of your hair, makeup and skin and nailing a few extra elements to keep you looking your best. 

The eyes are one of the first things people will notice about you. So eye health really matters. You need to get plenty of sleep and stay hydrated. This will help to ensure your eyes remain at their best. A lack of sleep can lead to blurred vision which can make you squint when trying to focus. No matter how stylish you look, if you are always straining to see, then you aren’t going to look very welcoming to new people! You should also protect your eyes from the sun, not only will this ensure better eye health it will add to your overall style too. So find the perfect set of Ray-Ban glasses and keep your peepers protected from the sun, looking cool while protecting your vision. 

If your style is a little bit grunge and you like to throw your hair in a messy bun and wear ripped jeans and vintage t-shirts you need to ensure you look clean and healthy – otherwise, you might end up looking like you just haven’t made an effort. A great place to start is with your teeth. There is a trend at the moment for people to have perfectly straight, bright white teeth, but this is beginning to make everyone look the same! Instead, be like Madonna and embrace the shape of your teeth. You don’t have to have a bright white set of teeth for them to look clean and healthy. Your tooth shade should only be two shades whiter than your eyes, or it seems unnatural. To look effortlessly stunning have a teeth care regime that is on point. Brush at least twice a day and make sure you floss too. Take regular trips to your dentist and if you notice any issues like bleeding gums, get it checked out straight away. Once you are confident with your smile, you will use it more! 

Depending on your style, you need your hair to perform in different ways. Even if you like a messy look, dirty hair can appear dull and will have a musty smell that isn’t appealing at all. There are lots of products on the market that can give you the texture of a grunge looking style but will keep your hair in top condition and smelling fabulous. Conditioning your hair is vital if you like a glamorous style then you need your hair to have gloss and shine. If you like to throw your hair into a messy bun, the condition is also essential. If you have dry and frizzy hair, you could end up looking like you have been dragged through a bush. No matter how great your clothes are – if you have bad hair, then you’re not going to create the impact you want. 

 

Using baby shampoo once every two weeks can help remove any products that you use to keep your hair styled. You should also try not to wash your hair every day as this can dry the scalp and lead to dandruff. If you want to keep it fresh, use dry shampoo in between washes, this will add volume and bounce too. You can keep your scalp in top condition by using coconut oil, either as part of your diet or you can apply it straight to your head like a mask and then leave it to work it’s magic overnight. Don’t forget to wash it out in the morning, though! 

Lastly, your skin says a lot about who you are. If your look doesn’t involve much makeup, then make sure you have a great moisturiser with a high SPF to ensure you are protected from the sun. This will reduce the risk of skin cancer and premature ageing. If you wear makeup every day, then you need an excellent skincare regime. Make sure you remove all your make up every night and try to have at least one makeup free day so your skin can recover. Keep hydrated so your body can regenerate cells and help you to keep that dewy young look. 

 

Finally, make sure you get plenty of sleep. Regular sleep will keep your whole body and mind looking great. Now, get out there and show the world you have style and substance!
