Your face and what you do with it can say a lot about how you’re feeling on the inside. Yet, not everyone is completely in love with their own face, and this can cause many problems, from low self-esteem to a complete lack of confidence. Obviously, this is less than ideal. Everyone should feel empowered by their inner and outer beauty and have the confidence to take ownership of the good and the bad. So, if you are still looking for ways to feel more confident about your face, read on for some top tips.
Embrace Natural Beauty
Natural beauty is your face just as it is: no makeup, no fillers, and no extensions. This post is not telling you to NOT do all those things. The message here is to find acceptance in how you look without all the add-ons. What is the point?
Well, it’s who you are. Embracing your rawest form will give you the purest form of self-confidence. It will transform your positive energy onto a new plane of power and give you a boost when it comes to reconnecting with your self-identity. Everyone has natural beauty, from the way they smile to the tip of their nose.
Set a Skincare Routine
Whether or not you feel comfortable going without makeup, skincare routines are universally essential. Nearly 50% of people in one study have admitted they barely wash their face at all. But, did you know by not washing your face, you are more likely to have a build-up of dirt, oils, and grease, which then leads to acne outbreaks, dry skin issues, and a whole world of pain?
Thankfully, it’s really easy to cover the basics to combat all these problems. If you can’t face a whole routine, try getting into a skincare habit by first using a wet wipe (brand of your choosing) to remove any residuals from the day. Even if you just do this one thing, it will be more than enough to start forming a regime and give your skin a boost too.
Focus On Your Teeth and Smile
Did you know that smiling is infectious? That’s right. When somebody smiles at you or you smile at them, our natural instinct is to return the gesture in kind. There are different types of smiles, and it’s nice to think that everyone has their own unique way of doing it. So, whether you smile with a big open mouth or are more of a subtle lip twitcher, it’s beautiful all the same. However, some people struggle, and there is some level of self-consciousness about how the teeth may look behind the smile.
ALIGNERCO says that teeth become misaligned for many reasons. A handful of these are in our control, whereas others are not. If this is stopping you from feeling confident within, then there are paths to explore to change it. The best option is to seek professional guidance from an orthodontic-based cosmetic practice or some similar place that can help you choose the best choice for your profile. Whatever the issue, whether it is dental or a condition brought on by childhood habits (like thumb sucking), they will be able to provide you with expert choices to help you reinstate some self-assurance.
Invest in the Right Makeup for You
For those people that enjoy makeup, whether that’s daily or occasionally, you will feel more confident if the shades are a match for your skin tone. While everyone may have been a victim of an orange face over their life, it doesn’t do much for your self-confidence when you don’t have cosmetic products that give you what you need.
The easiest way to find your shades and tones is by going to a store and trying them out. If you can’t face searching through products, there are online tests to put you in the right ballpark, or you could always book a session with a makeup professional who will tell you everything that you need to know.
Focus on What You Love
When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said everything that you love about your face? Please don’t say there isn’t anything because there is bound to be, at the very least, one thing that you don’t mind. For some people, it’s the color of their eyes. Others like the shape of their nose. Even the way their hair falls around their frame is a great place to start. Anything you enjoy or love about your face is what you should focus on in those moments when you are feeling a little low.
There is no right or wrong when it comes to what your face looks like. Everyone on Earth, even identical twins, has their own style and agenda. That’s what makes us all human. The ability to find confidence in how you look is a special thing to hold tight to.
