We’re living in very uncertain times, and natural events in the wider world are causing some consternation. In such times, it’s easy to feel like matters such as fashion and beauty are merely trivial.
However, it’s important to maintain normality as far as possible for the sake of your mental wellbeing. And nothing is guaranteed to give you a boost like coming up with an on-trend new look or doing some serious beauty prep.
There are lots of small things you can do that really have an impact on your appearance – and they don’t have to be complicated.

Makeover Your Bedtime Routine
Sleep is a keystone habit that makes a huge, fundamental difference to everything from your mental focus, to your decision to do some exercise, and certainly, when it comes to your looks – they call it beauty sleep for a reason.
Sadly, most adults do not get enough quality or duration of sleep, and there’s a sleeplessness epidemic. So if your nights seem to pass in a blur of Netflix or your sleep quality is poor, it’s worth trying to address those habits.
Good quality sleep will improve your skin, your undereye situation, and your glow more than any expensive face cream. If you have trouble dropping off, make sure the room is cool and dark, and that you have invested in good quality bedding and a decent mattress.
You could try an aromatherapy diffuser or a lavender pillow spray to help you drift off, and you should always keep all blue-light emitting electronic devices out of the bedroom.
Pay Attention To Your Smile
Everyone is more attractive when they smile, and in order to smile more, you need to have teeth that you want to show off. So sorting out your smile is a great way to improve your looks. It could be as simple as getting a home teeth whitening kit and giving it a few sessions.
Or you may want to look into different types of cosmetic dentistry, such as using invisible braces to straighten crooked or gapped teeth, or other options such as veneers and dental implants. Being able to smile with confidence goes a long way.
Dress For Your Body Shape
Although we all want to follow the latest fashion trends, there are ways to do it which flatter the shape that nature gave you. Start by working out what body type you have, and from there you can work out which styles and cuts will allow you to balance the proportions of your figure and look your best.
It might be simply a matter of adding a belt to emphasize your waist, or choosing the right cut of the t-shirt to streamline your shape. You can then start putting together a wardrobe of looks that make you look incredible.
Invest In Great Hair
The right haircut can literally be transformative – it can sculpt your face, balance out or hide any flaws (hello fringe, bye-bye botox) and a good colour can transform your skin tone.
So it’s worth saving up to visit the best hairdresser in your local area and seeing if they can take your look up a notch. Hair is something that we wear every moment, so it only makes sense to keep it looking amazing.
