HOW TO TAKE YOUR APPEARANCE FROM A 10 TO A 100

Looking good isn’t always about designer outfits or expensive skincare. Many times, it’s the small, consistent gestures that completely transform how you look and how confidently you show up.

Here are simple, affordable changes student can make to instantly elevate their appearance from a 10 to a solid 100:

1.      Good posture:

Standing tall instantly boosts your confidence and appearance. With your shoulders back, chin up, and you just might shine the brightest in the room. It works like magic.

2.      Moisturized skin:

There’s no rule book that says you must have an infinity-step routine. A basic routine is enough: cleanse, moisturize, and use sunscreen during the day. If that one is still too much, use your lotion, or Vaseline, just don’t come out looking crusty and dusty, especially in this Harmattan.

3.      Well-groomed hair:

The choice of word used was carefully selected. Well-groomed doesn’t mean you have to always break the bank every week (however, if that works for you, then by all means explore it). Ensure that your hair is neatly cut or combed, lay your edges and wash it when necessary.

4.      Fresh breath & oral hygiene:

Brush your teeth twice daily, clean your tongue, and stay hydrated. If your breath still stinks after all of these, then you might have to visit a dentist for a checkup.

5.      Neat Nails:

It is not presentable when you’re stretching for a handshake, and the first thing that everyone can see is how black your fingernails look. Trim your fingernails to your taste and moisturise your hands regularly.

6.      Smell good:

This is probably the most important. Do everything in your power to ensure that you don’t stink. If perfumes are too expensive for you, you can leave it but note that a deodorant is not optional. Always use a deodorant. Bath properly and regularly.

7.      Dress nice:

Always iron your clothes. It’s the instant boost every outfit needs. If you’re not feeling an outfit, just iron it neatly and watch the switch up. Sometimes, all your outfit needs is just an appropriate footwear. Please note that your “Dunlop” slippers belong in the bathroom.

8.      Accessorise appropriately:

A wristwatch, studs, or a simple necklace can elevate your outfit effortlessly. However, you have to note that there’s a thin line between accessorising to look elegant and crass. Don’t overdo it.

There you have it, how to take your appearance from a 10 to a 100.

You're welcome.
