Ever wondered how you can look stunning without trying to be older than you really are? Want to look beautiful and natural, without using too many bad chemicals for your skin? This is a guide on how to look beautiful as a teenager, no matter who you are!
- Have clear skin. Take advantage of your good complexion while you’re young, and experiment so that your skin routine fits your skin type. As you’re young, you shouldn’t need to do much to keep your skin looking good. Perhaps a cleanser from a pharmacy will work for you, or maybe just water is enough.

Have clean hair. As above, find a hair care routine that suits your hair type. Some people find that they need to wash their hair daily, some people three or four times a week. Find a shampoo and conditioner that work for your hair, and stick to it. Take advantage of your natural attributes; if it’s wavy, choose a haircut that suits wavy hair. Ask your stylist to help you pick a shape that suits your face shape. - Take good care of your teeth. Brush twice daily, morning and night. Floss or use specialized dental tooth picks, not wooden ones, and use mouthwash. Keep it up.
- Stay hydrated. Drink at least 2 litres of water per day (approx. 8 glasses) and keep up those fruits and vegetables that contain a good amount of water in them. The water will keep your skin fresh and your eyes bright, and the vitamins in the fruit will keep you energetic and healthy.
- Emphasize the part of your body you feel most confident about. Vibrant tops if you like your upper body/arms and slimming pants if you love your legs!
- Be selective with make-up. Choose colours and types that suit your natural appearance – aim to compliment your natural beauty. Sometimes, less is more. A little mascara (clear is good, no smudges!) lipgloss and blush is a good combination. If you have to use a foundation, use a tinted moisturizer instead; it moisturizes your skin and tints it in one product!
- Try coloring your hair. It’s best to do this on the holidays, then you can wash the color away if you don’t like it.
- Paint your nails. Use vibrant colors and if you can, match the colors with what you are wearing. Remember to remove the nail polish with a moisturizing nail-polish remover two days from when you applied it, to let your nails breathe.
- Have a positive attitude. Walk confidently and smile!
- Smell good. Choose a perfume that suits you, spray a little on your wrists and neck and wear it often. People will get used to your scent and will appreciate it.
- Shave or wax. Do this after a shower, your hair is easier to remove then. Shave if you are on the run, but it is best to wax to prevent coarser, longer hair growing back. Plus, waxing pulls the hair roots out, so you have a longer period of time without the itchiness of hair growing back! Another hair removal idea is to pluck your eyebrows.
- Wear jewelery. Rings, necklaces, anklets and bracelets can look great if chosen to suit your personality and your outfit. If you do not have your ears pierced but want the look, you can buy earrings that clip on your earlobe.
