Q: People will view you as more attractive if you look and smell clean. Wash your body every day using a mild soap or body wash. Then, apply deodorant to help control body odor. You may need to shower more often if you get very sweaty. Rinse off with soap and warm water after you exercise or spend a lot of time outdoors. Pick shampoo and conditioner that are formulated for your hair type. Apply a quarter-size amount of shampoo to your scalp and massage it into your hair. Rinse your hair out with lukewarm water. Then, apply the conditioner to wet hair and let it sit for 3 minutes. Finally, rinse out the conditioner with cool water. For instance, look for products formulated for colored hair if your hair is dyed or get shampoo and conditioner for curly hair if you have naturally curly or kinky hair. Conditioner helps keep your hair soft and manageable. Rinsing with cool water will close your hair shaft, which helps your hair look smooth and shiny. Wet your face before you apply your cleanser. Then, use your fingers to massage a dime-size amount of cleanser onto your skin. Finally, rinse your skin with warm water to remove the cleanser. Repeat in the morning and evening. If your skin is dry or sensitive, you might decide to wash your face just once a day to prevent drying it out. Choose a moisturizer that's formulated for your skin type. Then, use your fingertips to apply a pea-sized amount of moisturizer to your skin in the morning and evening after you wash your face. Look for a moisturizer that has an SPF 20 or higher to use as your daytime moisturizer. Use a thicker cream at night for added moisture. If you're unsure about which moisturizers are right for you, talk to a dermatologist. Using body lotion will keep your skin soft and supple so you avoid scaly patches. Apply your lotion once a day after you get out of the shower. This will lock in moisture so your skin stays soft. Apply about a quarter-size amount of lotion at a time. You can add more lotion as necessary to cover your entire body. You can use scented or fragrance-free lotion. If your skin is dry or sensitive, it's best to get a fragrance-free formula. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more vibrant skin. Use a facial exfoliator twice a week for bright, youthful skin, and massage a body scrub into your skin once a week. This will keep your skin soft and smooth. If you have normal or oily skin, you may be able to exfoliate your face 2-3 times per week. However, reduce how often you exfoliate if your skin becomes irritated. Remove facial and body hair that bothers you. Otherwise, trim your face and body hair so that it looks it's best. Choose a style that you like and that looks great on you. For instance, trim your facial hair, shave your legs, or shave your armpits. Keep your teeth healthy and white by brushing every morning and evening. Additionally, floss your teeth every evening before you brush to remove food between your teeth. Finally, rinse out your mouth with mouthwash to kill germs and bacteria, as well as bits of food. Use a whitening toothpaste daily to help whiten your teeth. See your dentist at least once a year to help maintain your oral health. This can keep your smile looking its best.
A: Shower or bathe every day so you're clean and smell good. Shampoo and condition your hair 2-3 times per week. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser for clearer skin. Apply facial moisturizer in the morning and evening. Moisturize your body with lotion once a day. Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. Shave or trim your facial or body hair, as desired. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss before bed.

Q: Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, so use your finger or a spoon to scrape it out of the jar. A small amount, like 1 teaspoon (4.9ml), will go a long way. If you're dipping your fingers into your jar of oil, it's best to wash your hands with soap first so you don't spread any bacteria into the oil. For the best quality oil, choose organic, virgin coconut oil, which doesn't have any additives and is 100% natural. Since the coconut oil is solid at first, melt it with your body heat so you can spread it easily on your face. Gently rub the dollop of oil between your palms in circles until the oil becomes liquid. The melting point for coconut oil is 77F (25C). Don't rub too vigorously or your hands will soak up all of the oil and you won't have any left for your face. Use both hands to rub the oil in small circles all over your face. Pay special attention to any areas that are particularly oily or where dirt builds up, like your chin or in the creases next to your nose. The spots on your face that tend to get oilier are usually located in what's known as the T-zone, which includes your forehead, nose, chin, and the skin around your mouth. Avoid getting any oil in your eyes. If you do, you'll notice your vision might be blurry for a few minutes, but it will pass. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test before you apply the oil to your entire face. Put the oil on a small spot, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse it off. If the spot is irritated or itchy, don't use the coconut oil. Wet a clean cloth with warm water, then wring it out so it's damp, but not dripping wet. Place it onto your face so it covers all of your skin. You can use hot water from the sink or microwave a damp cloth for 1 minute to warm it up. This opens up your pores so your skin can soak up the oil better. Tilt your head slightly back so the cloth doesn't slide off. Set a timer or use the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time. Once the 10 minutes are up, remove the cloth from your face and wipe it over your skin in a circular motion. This removes any oil that didn't soak in, and also presses the remaining oil further into your pores. If your skin still feels a little oily, you can wash your face with a gentle cleanser afterwards. Apply moisturizer after cleansing your face if you really want to lock in the hydration.
