Many modern women confuse beauty and style with grooming. You can wear the best designer clothes, get professional makeup and hair, but the little things in life can give away your inability to take care of yourself. Well-groomedness has nothing to do with a woman’s wealth – in order to dress clean, have healthy hair and white teeth, you don’t need a lot of money and time, only attention and desire are important.
Today we will look at 10 signs of a groomed girl that you don’t always think about. And at this time they give out our sloppiness, and sometimes they can push the interlocutor away.
10 Peeled varnish
Women mistakenly believe that it is enough to have at least some kind of nail coverage than to go out into society without a manicure at all. However, many people abuse this unspoken rule and are ready to walk with broken nails, chipped varnish or already scratched from a kitchen brush. As a result, the bright coating, as always, draws attention to the nails, but in fact, manicure flaws are already striking. Peeling varnish of rich red, blue, green or black color looks especially ugly – minor defects cannot be hidden in any way and cannot be reanimated in a random place. Therefore, when leaving the house, do not forget to pay attention to your nails for a second – while you still have time to at least completely wipe off the varnish in a minute.
9. Split ends of hair
Many women want to grow their hair out and for this reason do not cut the ends for months. Even well-groomed and flavored with oils and serums, they eventually begin to split, thin, fade and look weakened. And if you also dye your hair, then the fluffy “washcloth” at the end looks completely lifeless. This situation is often observed in blondes who abuse clarifiers and tonics. Women, understand that no serums or emulsions will revive “dead” hair. Their action is enough for a couple of hours of visual effect, but gusts of wind or humidity will quickly nullify the “disguise”. There is only one way out – cut the ends in a timely manner and do not spare a couple of centimeters cut off. In fact, with regular renewal of the ends, the hair grows back faster, as well as stronger and healthier.
8. Problem Skin
Of course, bad skin, blackheads, acne or smallpox marks are not the fault of a woman. Perhaps she has serious health problems, and doctors for a long time cannot decide on the cause of the pathology – whether nutrition is to blame, or endocrine disorders, or maybe stress or improper facial hygiene. What can a woman do? Of course, visit a beautician at the same time as the doctors. A competent dermatologist will do mechanical and ultrasonic cleaning, which will reduce the lesion. And a therapeutic mask applied to open pores, and then microcurrent therapy, will allow you to fight pathogenic microorganisms directly “on the ground” – in the middle and upper layers of the dermis. This will give a quick visual effect, will clear the pores of sebum and blackheads, saturate the skin with moisture and nutrients, visually rejuvenate it.
7. Overgrown cuticle and hangnails
If there is no time or money to visit a manicure specialist, then you need to get the hang of caring for your nails at home. Of course, not everyone can set aside an hour or two for cutting the cuticle, but once every 2 weeks you will have to try. In between, move it away with an orange stick or spatula so that it does not grow on the nail plate. If the first “rags” of the epidermis appear in the corners of the nail, then you can carry out a gentle peeling that removes the stratum corneum. But it’s not worth bringing to the formation of bleeding and painful hangnails, because it is unhygienic and very ugly.
6. Regrown hair roots
Before your first hair coloring, evaluate your ability to maintain it every 1-2 months. This requires money and time to visit a hairdresser. As a last resort, teach your girlfriend to “renew” your roots for a chocolate bar with tea. Overgrown, they look very untidy and give out a woman’s unwillingness to take care of herself in a timely manner. For those who are already painted, but busy at work, there is a way out. Now ombres have come into fashion, which allow you to dye your hair while maintaining the effect of “overgrown roots”. Such painting can be maintained less frequently.
5. Yellow teeth
Well, it’s an outright mess. It’s one thing to have a less than perfect whiteness because of your passion for coffee. But another thing is to flaunt with “smoky” gray or yellow enamel, or maybe maroon as a result of the abuse of red wine. Food coloring eats into the enamel tightly and regularly, no matter how you brush your teeth in the morning. Professional cleaning every 6-12 months is a must for every girl who wants to look well-groomed and attractive. It allows you to remove dense yellow plaque and hard stone, which are not amenable to standard paste, floss or rinses.
4. Stale makeup
A small cosmetic bag in a purse is a must for a girl who goes out in public. If you have already decided to apply a dense layer of “plaster”, then do not forget to do corrective “strokes” during the day. Leaked mascara or a smeared eyebrow pencil looks especially bad, and we are completely silent about the “areola” of lipstick around the lips. Powder or matting wipes will also be appropriate, because they will eliminate the treacherous oily sheen that appears against the background of a smooth doll face. Remember – the more decorative cosmetics you can refuse, the faster the skin will come into shape and will show your natural beauty and blush, and there will be no need to maintain it throughout the day.
3. Dry and dehydrated skin
Of course, this is not as unpleasant as acne or blackheads, but it also takes away a blooming and youthful look from a woman. With dry skin, age spots, couperose mesh appear faster, and bruises under the eyes become more distinct. Do not forget to timely eliminate the peeling of the epidermis with a gentle scrub and nourishing emollient cream. A hydrogel will help get rid of dry skin and restore its natural turgor, elasticity and firmness, which intensively moisturizes and maintains the effect for several hours. It is especially important to moisturize the skin after tanning, because UV rays dry it out and lead to the appearance of expression lines.
2. Overgrown legs and armpits
I don’t even want to comment here. Legs are not so bad if you are not a fan of wearing ultra-short skirts and dresses, and you are not in a relationship with a man. But unshaven armpits are unforgivable by society in any situation where they somehow catch the eye. Most often, hairs give us away on the beach, as well as in public transport in the summer, when standing women hold on to the handrails and “shine” with their “vegetation”. Do not forget that all this is also unhygienic, leads to the growth of bacteria, an unpleasant odor.
1. Unkempt eyebrows
In the age of microblading, tattooing and dyeing eyebrows with henna or special paint, it’s just a shame to walk with overgrown eyebrows, like Brezhnev’s, or a “bald clearing”. Whatever the fashion, it is necessary to carefully pluck out excess hairs, maintain a neat natural shape. If your eyebrows are too sparse, then you can tint with a pencil or natural paint, and in especially neglected cases, tattoo the missing hairs.
It is important and necessary to take care of yourself, because it makes you feel more confident and ready for any situation, whether it is a meeting with solid work partners, a friend over a cup of coffee or a loved one. Of course, people in us value and love far from appearance, so it’s not worth chasing a tribute to fashion and rushing to resort to serious cosmetic manipulations. But to maintain a natural well-groomed appearance, to monitor the health of the skin, teeth, nails and hair is simply necessary.
