People who exude confidence are happier with themselves and put others around them at ease. Confidence makes for an excellent personality trait when you’re dating; however, it is sometimes fleeting, even for people with high self-esteem. Confidence is something that must be nurtured on a continual basis, and that means taking good care of yourself. When it comes to your personal grooming, there are things that both men and women can do to give themselves an instant confidence boost. Some grooming habits are easier to overlook than others. Most require no more than 10 minutes and will have you feeling great about yourself and glowing before your date!

Exfoliate for Smooth Skin 

What does your typical morning routine consist of currently?

You certainly want to put your freshest face forward on date night. While you probably cleanse your skin every day, when was the last time you actually exfoliated? Exfoliation sloughs away the layer of dead skin cells sitting on your skin’s surface. Avoiding this step can lead to rough, dry skin that doesn’t look as smooth as it could. All skin types can benefit from a gentle chemical exfoliant, such as a lower percentage BHA or AHA exfoliant. Physical exfoliants contain microbeads or small particles such as walnut shells.

Exfoliating has many other positive benefits, such as keeping ingrown hairs at bay. It also helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Don’t over-exfoliate. Instead, opt for one or two times a week and you will be on your way to smooth skin.  

Care for Your Cuticles 

Many people overlook the state of their nails. Even if you take the time to keep them neatly trimmed, you might look down and notice your cuticles are looking a bit dry and unsightly. Apply a bit of cuticle oil and moisturizer each night before going to bed, and while you’re at it, gently push back your cuticles. This extra step takes a minute or two, and it can boost your confidence when you hold hands with that special someone.

Tidy-Up Stray Hair 

Before your next date, spend a few minutes in the mirror armed with your tweezers, and do a little tidy-up on the stray hairs between and around the eyebrows. You may go for a routine eyebrow wax or threading, but in between those times, a little tweezing can go a long way. Eye makeup always does a better job when paired with clean brows sans stray hair. And for the guys out there, your date will appreciate you keeping your unibrow at bay.

Smile with Confidence 

A smile is one way to exude confidence. Taking extra care of your teeth every day is not only hygienic, but can play a huge role in boosting your overall confidence and improving your breath. Although your dentist has been telling you this since you were a child, it bears repeating: Floss every day. The daily habit of flossing will keep your smile looking beautiful for many years to come.

If you’ve been enjoying your coffee or tea a lot lately, perhaps it’s time to give your teeth more TLC with a whitening gel. It can help enhance your smile and make it a bit brighter while sending coffee and tea stains packing.  

Hydrate for Happiness 

Dry, rough skin and chapped lips can lead to a loss of confidence as well as discomfort. Treat your skin to a daily dose of hydration in the form of moisturizing facial cream or lotion. Apply a healthy dose of lip balm to keep your lips moist, soft and kissable. Hydrated skin and lips can help you feel more confident and carefree while you focus on enjoying your date.
