First impressions count. They can open or close doors for you. There is nothing wrong with individualism, imperfections, or self-expression; they are beautiful in their way. So creating a look around them can give you better results when building relationships. A makeover is when you make a significant change in your look. It may include revamping your makeup, hairstyle, and clothing. A complete change in your look may sound expensive, but it doesn’t have to be.
6 Cheap Ways To Give Yourself a Makeover
- Exfoliate
Your skin dies and regenerates constantly. Over time those dead cells will shed to make space for new cells; the process takes about 30 days. Sometimes the dead cells on your skin don’t shed completely; that is how you get dry, flaky patches and clogged pores.
Exfoliation is the practice of removing the dead skin cells using a chemical, granular item, or an exfoliation tool. It can help improve your skin’s appearance and reduce breakouts and clogged pores. It also improves your skin’s ability to absorb topical skincare products.
So exfoliation can give you the brighter and healthier, even glowy skin you would typically get from professional makeovers. Although exfoliation has many benefits, it’s not for everyone; some skin types react badly to exfoliation.
- Use an Online Personal Stylist
You may not understand anything about fashion or styling, and that’s fine. You can use online resources to help you understand and pick a style.
The internet has many stylists sharing their ideas, inspirations, and knowledge. You can find the information in various media forms ( images, text, or video) and on multiple platforms (social media, blogs, vlogs, and websites). You only have to choose a stylist with the fashion sense you desire and present it in a format you understand.
Most online stylists will inform you where you can find the fashion, hair, or makeup products they use. You may even hire them to recommend outfits and shop for you, then send them in the mail to you. They usually have a cheaper service than a traditional stylist.
- Add Accessories
Accessories are an affordable option that can add oomph to your look. They can work in patterned or plain fabric. You can add them to your regular outfits or your new look. You can use jewelry, bags, or try rimless glasses for men.
- Use Premium Hair Products
Hair is a key part of your look. If you have regular hair, you shouldn’t have a problem finding products that will work for you. Suppose you have extraordinary hair or want to go for extraordinary styling. In that case, you may need to spend more time thinking about the hair products you use.
You will have to make a choice between store brands and salon hair products. Store hairstyling products make money from selling volumes, so they are usually cheaper. Another reason they typically are more affordable is that they use low cost, readily available, and sometimes watered down ingredients.
Salon products are usually more expensive. The reputation of the saloon is dependent on the quality of service, so they can’t cut corners. Their products are typically specialized and of the highest quality.
Choosing between store brands and saloon products will depend on the styling you need and the state of your hair. You can further style your hair using hats, clips, or hair ties.
- Wear Makeup For a Change
Makeup can boost your self-esteem and confidence. Makeup can give you multiple looks depending on the occasion or your mood. You can have a style for work or for going out. Using makeup, you can cover blemishes or accentuate your features. You don’t have to use too much; an understated makeup look can be just as powerful.
You can try something new or watch makeup tutorials if you have never used it. You will find influencers and brands with tutorials that will teach you the basics and advanced art of applying makeup. Moreover, they will provide you with tips on storing your makeup products and making them last.
- Hydrate
Water is life; it is essential to your health. It can also be the difference maker regarding your mood and appearance.
Without water, your body won’t function well, a lot of your organs will slow down. Dehydration usually starts with a headache, and nobody is chipper or productive when they have those. If you hydrate, you will give your body what it needs to function at its peak. Also, consider that hydration impacts your sweat ( a completely natural process). It will be less intense and more bearable to those around you if you hydrate.
The skin is the largest organ in your body, and it needs to hydrate. Without enough water, your skin can become dry and damaged. Water can imbue your skin with a healthy glow, make it less susceptible to blemishes, and stronger.
You can supplement your water drinking regime by using skin moisturizer. The moisturizer will protect your skin by adding a barrier between it and the environment. It also enhances the capacity of your skin to retain water.
Look Good on a Budget
Getting a new look doesn’t have to be expensive. Buy skin, hair, and clothing products that work with your circumstance and style. You can find information and services online to help you adopt any style that catches your eye.
