WHY AND HOW TO GROOM?

Let’s say you realize you have a job interview to go to in an hour and you’re still lying in bed. I bet your first instinct would be to rush towards the mirror and check your physical status. Then dress in something prim and proper, brush and style your hair, put on some perfume and maybe a bit of makeup. But why? Why do we tend to make sure we look good when trying to make a positive impression on someone? It's because your physical condition is as important in representing your true self as your personality. When you look nice, it makes people think you look after yourself with care and aren’t just a slob.

Not only does grooming impress others, but it should be done for one’s own self. When you walk out after a day at the salon, you must feel more confident in your steps when facing others. Revitalizing yourself as such really helps in boosting your self-esteem and overcome depression or, simply, a bad mood. Your appearance is a window to your personality and it is the first thing about you that catches the attention of others around you. Now when I say grooming is essential, I do not mean you should be spending at least three hours in front of the mirror daily or be spending extravagantly on beauty products and clothing items. What I do mean is that special care should be taken regarding your personal hygiene and outlook for your own sake.

First and foremost, it should be made sure that your skin is clean and clear. Using creams, face washes, wipes and towels can help clear out your skin of unwanted dust and other particles and keep it looking fresh. Another very important thing is to make sure you get rid of any body odor that might be offensive to others. The use of deodorants, perfumes, and mouthwashes can greatly help to keep you smelling heavenly at all times.

Developing your own dressing style is also a major part of your self-grooming experience. Visit different stores and try on dresses until you find your unique style. You can even browse through our collection of contemporary clothing items and find pieces that suit your taste online at Anew Couture Boutique! Makeup also comes in real handy in covering up a breakout that you might experience due to carelessness or dark circles that you might develop after a week of hard work. Conceal, cover and blush to make your face look as fresh and lively as ever until you can recover through masks and massages.

Now, it might sound like it is a lot of work, but with the purchasing of effective items, you will soon find it is all worth it. Your own being deserves to be given that little bit of pampering and attention once in a while. Contrary to popular belief, self-grooming is not a sign of vanity. Instead, it shows you care about presenting yourself in the best manner. To make things easier, browse through our selection of concealers, blushes, foundations, and eyeshadows to touch up your makeup collection. You can also look through our face and body products, fashion lines and jewelry items to get yourself started!
