In this post, we explore 35 easy ways to feel pretty in your skin without doing anything extra. Because you deserve to feel your best, always!
If you go around poking on my blog, you’ll find plenty of stuff on how to look pretty, with all kinds of beauty and skincare tips that will turn you into a glam queen.
But as much as I love these detailed glow-up guides, it isn’t always possible to put in the time and effort to glam up.
And that’s just fine. Because more than how you look, it’s how you feel that matters.
In this post, we are going to forget all about perfect makeup routines and go back to the basic tips that can make any woman feel like a blooming beauty.
These are perfect for the days when you’re low on confidence or just wanna feel lovely and feminine in your skin. Take a look:
How To Feel Pretty – 35 Simple Ideas
1. Brush and fluff up your brows. I do this every morning after my skincare routine. A little brow gel or just a quick comb-through can make your face look polished in seconds.
2. Swipe on a colored lip balm. It will hydrate your lips and add a soft flush of color without the effort of a full lipstick.
3. Shave your legs. A cheap way to feel smooth, silky, and luxurious.
4. Take a steamy shower. Use a nice-smelling body lotion. The water will melt your stress away and leave you feeling refreshed.
5. Pop on a pair of statement earrings. Even in sweats, accessories add instant polish to your appearance and make you feel like a hot boss lady.
6. Wash and deep condition your hair. Fresh and bouncy hair is an instant mood booster. I feel so pretty afterward, and I think every woman does.
7. Wear a delicate and lovely fragrance. Something soft and floral or fresh and citrusy that lifts your spirits.
8. Curl your lashes. This is again something I do every morning even when I don’t plan on wearing mascara. Such a natural way to make your eyes pop and feel all girlie.
9. Moisturize your skin with a lightly scented lotion. Soft and glowing skin always feels pretty.
10. Paint your nails (or just clean them up!). Well-groomed and colorful nails mean pretty looks and pretty feels.
11. Wear a silky feminine blouse. Something with a little lace, ruffle, or sheen so that you feel put-together throughout the day.
12. Exfoliate your lips. Use a quick scrub so that your lips look all plump and kissably soft.
13. Do a 5-minute face massage. It will help with circulation, de-puffing, and give you a gorgeous glow. Self-care and beauty in one go.
14. Light a scented candle. Totally unrelated to your appearance, but it will make you feel like a self-care queen and that is always a killer way to feel pretty in your skin.
15. Drink a glass of water. We all know hydration is a blessing for the skin. When you drink up, you glow up, and your body and mind feel it instantly.
16. Use a highlighter on your cheekbones. Just a little touch of glow to feel more awake and radiant.
17. Wear a matching bra and underwear. Even if no one else knows, you will, babe. The subtle confidence will feel awesome.
18. Tidy up your hair. A sleek bun, a soft wave, or even just brushing through your locks can make all the difference to how you feel.
19. Apply a little bronzer. Instant warmth and dimension to your face!
20. Take a short walk outside. Fresh air, sunlight, and movement are magic ingredients for your beauty and mood. Dress well before you head out to feel confident in your walk.
21. Put on mascara. A couple of swipes to make yourself feel sharp and beautiful.
22. Wear some simple jewelry. A little sparkle on your fingers or neck can make you feel effortlessly feminine.
23. Smile at yourself in the mirror. This is so simple but powerful. A little self-love might be all you need to radiate beauty.
24. Listen to a song that makes you feel amazing. Confidence is the prettiest thing you can wear.
25. Apply a sheet mask. Instant hydration, glow, and a little spa moment for yourself.
26. Stand up straight. Good posture makes you look and feel classy and poised.
27. Do yoga. It will improve your posture, bust your stress, and make you feel graceful in your body. This is my go-to ritual every Sunday morning or whenever I feel odd in my body.
28. Exfoliate your body in the shower. Baby-soft skin feels pretty, always.
29. Swap your regular PJs for something silky. Even at home, feeling a little glamorous is worth it.
30. Buy yourself flowers. Because you can, girl! Just like you can also write your name in the sand.
31. Dab a little perfume on your pillow. Falling asleep to a beautiful scent is an underrated luxury.
32. Braid your hair. Just a simple braid or if you know some fancy braid style, do it. You’ll feel like a young pretty girl.
33. Wear your best shoes. Nothing more needs to be said.
34. Throw on a dress instead of leggings. Any casual and flowy dress would do. Best way to feel chic with minimal effort.
And at last…
35. Remind yourself that ‘I am beautiful as I am’. Pampering is lovely and all, but your natural beauty shines brightest when you feel good about yourself, and a simple affirmation can do that for you.
