How we look can play an important role in how we feel. Whether we want to wrap up because it is cold or be bold enough to show off a little skin in the warmer months, our confidence in the clothes we wear and our appearance can make a huge difference. Creating the perfect look is not about trying to recreate catwalk looks, it’s about finding a style that suits you and makes you feel as special and you undoubtedly are.
Creating The Perfect Look: Look After Your Skin
During the winter, our faces can take a lot, from the cold wind to drying out. So now is the perfect time to think about showing it a little attention ready for the warmer months ahead. Speaking with a skincare expert can help identify your problem areas and where you need to pay extra attention. They may be able to advise you on some of the best products to use and try.
Our skin is on show a lot more during the summer, so it isn’t just our faces that need attention but the rest of our body as well. Now is the time that we get our legs out and show them some love and care. Our skin will be much dryer after winter so investing in a good body moisturiser can help to alleviate that ahead of the seasonal changes. You may want to try some of those gradual tan lotions that can give your body a healthy glow.
Creating The Perfect Look – Fashion Choices
During the warmer months, we can pull out the maxi dresses and skirts and go with a more relaxed fashion choice. For some reason, a summer dress can look great during the day and night. Making good fashion choices will go a long way to creating a perfect summer or winter look. You may want to consider a loose fitted dress and team it up with some sandals. Or some cropped jeans and a look online at women’s blouses to get some ideas. Both looks are timeless and will look great at any time of the day. In the winter, many of us can tend to gravitate towards a jumper and jeans combination, but this doesn’t have to be boring. You could wear statement jewellery or add colourful scarves. When it comes to creating the perfect look you need to be comfortable too!
Choose Your Makeup Wisely
Makeup doesn’t always have to be full-on. Things like BB Creams are essential at this time of year as it can give you a glow without a full face of makeup clogging up your pores. Not only do they give your skin tone an even and flawless complexion but they also have the added SPF protection built-in. This is ideal for when the weather gets warmer. A little bronzer and long lashes and you are good to go. The only thing you could do to enhance the look is to apply a lovely bright lipstick for an evening twist.
Remember that everyone’s skin is different so look at different brands and ask for recommendations before spending a fortune.
Your Hair Can Be One Of Your Best Features
Finally, your hair can often be lifeless in the winter months, so you may want to start being adventurous with the way you tie it up. There is nothing wrong with adding a cute Alice band to your head to complete a look. In the summer, things are a little different. Letting your hair dry naturally and embracing a more low-key beach vibe could be a great way to enhance your look with minimal effort.
For me, hair care is all about the right cut (I have thick curly hair) and hair products. I use a vegan oil in my hair these days and the difference is significant!
