We all want the perfect appearance, but none of us know where to begin. It’s so easy to be self-critical of not only your fashion, your weight, your hair, your acne, and other blemishes but also the things you can’t control such as the symmetry of your face or the freckles on your skin. Whatever the case, it’s important to develop a healthy relationship with your body and your appearance. It all comes down your mind, at the end of the day, but you need to remember that your mental and physical self are intertwined. Here are some inspirational ideas to help you rejuvenate your appearance for you and develop a better perspective of yourself.

Your body.
When it comes to appearances, there’s very little we have control over. We’re born the way we born, and you might not like your face, but it’s you; everybody finds something wrong with themselves. Nonetheless, there are ways in which you can work on yourself from a health perspective to improve your appearance. Whilst you shouldn’t be starving yourself for a skinny body and you shouldn’t be worried about the perfect body type (there isn’t one), there’s nothing to stop you from getting healthy and into the best shape possible. POPSUGAR has a good article on their website about full-body workouts. There’s nothing stopping you from improving your core muscles from the comfort of your home with a basic 30-minute routine such as the one they discuss with squats, planks, and other strength training/cardio techniques.
There are so many ways to improve the health of your body, whether you want a noticeably better figure or simply to look after yourself better on the whole. An article over at InStyle talks about how the treadmill and the elliptical can burn both different amounts of calories depending on your style of exercise, but this is an important pointer to take on board for all forms of exercise. Even walking through your local valley can be great for you if you do it enough; the key is just to get your body active. If you don’t have much time during the day then high intensity interval training (walking with short bursts of running) for twenty minutes could have a far better effect than jogging slowly for an hour.
Your fashion.
Fashion is also another huge part of appearance, and it’s another thing that you have complete control over, so why not go for it? The key to good fashion is feel comfortable in what you’re wearing. Trends come and go, but if you find something timeless that feels right to you then you’re onto a winner. People can pick up on how comfortable and confident you feel in yourself, so it’s better to wear something that suits your tastes rather than forcing something that you think you “should” be wearing. You could visit this website to take a look at The Iconic’s new range of shoe wear if you wanted somewhere to begin with your wardrobe rejuvenation because we all know that shoes are one of the most distinctive parts of an outfit.
Clothes should fit, most importantly of all. The clothes themselves don’t matter. As Vogue proves in this piece, even turtlenecks can work if worn with the correct things. It doesn’t matter what size you are either because, as mentioned earlier, everybody comes in entirely different shapes; there is no perfect size. Confidence is so essential, and this buro247 piece talks about how fashion is all about that air of confidence. All that matters is that your clothes look tailor-made to your body. That’s how you gain the perfect appearance. You don’t need to be lavish or go over the top. In fact, The West Australian has an interesting article on the dangers of high heels, so flats might be a better option all-round.

Your face.
When it comes to conversations about appearance, the face is the one topic we all dread. Being self-critical is part of being human, but the face is the pinnacle of it all. No matter how perfectly symmetrical it may seem or how beautiful others may say you are, you’ll always find something wrong with your face. There’s always some blemish lurking on a cheek or your forehead. You shouldn’t worry about wearing make-up. This article over at Fashion Journal gives some great tips on primers to use, but just remember to wash your face well afterwards to avoid a breakout. Still, even if you keep your face clean, it seems like everything you do, feel, or eat has a damaging effect on it. In fact, simply worrying about the way your face looks is enough to cause an acne breakout because your mental state has a huge effect on your physical body. This interesting article over at Now To Love talks about foods that can affect your mental state, and it’s well worth a read.
In fact, even the amount of sleep you get has an effect on the appearance of your skin, as explained elsewhere on our site within this article. Of course, you know that a lack of sleep leads to bags forming under your eyes, but you might not realize quite how extensive the effects of sleep deprivation can be on your face and your skin as a whole. Think about the purpose of the process of sleep; you’re recharging, and your body is repairing damaged cells. It’s coming back to life, and that’s what makes your skin “glow”. If you deprive yourself of this vital healing time then you’re going to be left with dry and cold skin along with a mental attitude to match; the difference between a bubbly, uplifting attitude and a tired, exhausted one also has an effect on the way we appear too.
