Frequently Asked
Questions.
Developing self-confidence and a positive body image has various layers. It’s an art and NOT a science. Start by practicing self-care, engaging in activities that make you feel good about yourself, and surrounding yourself with positive influences. Determine which characteristics about you are noteworthy and then accentuate those characteristics. Challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about your appearance and focus on your strengths and unique qualities. Seeking professional help, such as therapy or counseling, can also be beneficial in addressing deeper issues related to how we feel about ourselves.
It is important to adopt a skincare routine tailored to your skin type. This typically involves cleansing your face twice a day with gentle soap matching your skin type, moisturizing regularly, and using sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays. Exfoliating once or twice a week can also help remove dead skin cells and promote a brighter complexion. Your skin is the external layer of the body and is dependent upon nutrients and protection for a healthy existence. Adopting a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting sufficient sleep can contribute to overall improved skin health. You might find some helpful resources from our partners in bottlelife’s “What We Like” section.
Choosing a hairstyle that flatters the shape of your face can, subjectively, help enhance your overall appearance. Determine your face shape by examining your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead, and then research hairstyles that are known to complement your specific shape. For example, those of us with round faces might benefit from hairstyles that add height and volume, while those of us with more of an oval face shape might be able to experiment with various styles. Consulting with a professional hairstylist can provide personalized recommendations based on your unique features.
Styles come and go. Cheers to the conquest of whatever is cool for you. Understand and embrace your body and select clothing that both compliments its shape and makes you feel comfortable. Remember, there are both skinny models and also plus-sized models, tall and short. Experiment with different colors, patterns, and silhouettes to find what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Incorporate accessories that reflect your personality which also make you “have a feeling about your outfits. A little flair goes a long way. Remember to prioritize your personal preferences and comfort. Ultimately, dressing in a way that aligns with your authentic self will help you feel confident and express your individuality.
