This is for anyone not just for girls.
1. always stay clean. That is the number one rule! always shower at least 2 times a day. keep your clothes clean and wash your hair weekly if you have an afro and daily if it's always greasy. Never wear your gym outfit out to meet someone, you can go grocery shopping after your workout shesh but I wouldn't recommend it if you sweat a lot! and that's not embarrassing at all it's totally normal to sweat when you are working out.
2. always wear deodorant. Please don't ever get those natural deodorants you will sweat through them so get yourself something that will last at least 24 hours and something that will give you full coverage even if you are running around and sweating all day. I always get those powder dry fast sprayed deodorants because they don't leave white marks on my dark clothes.
3. keep your teeth clean and healthy. Try to get a good dentist and get a cleaning every 6 months, always floss daily and brush your teeth twice a day ( once in the morning and once at night) don't eat a lot of sweets to avoid getting cavities
4. go to a dermatologist. If you get a mole out of nowhere always get it checked by a dermatologist. you don't need to have acne or any visible skin condition to go to a dermatologist. They have great advice on how to keep your skin clean, my dermatologist is super nice but she hates it that I wear makeup twice a week... she hates the idea of makeup but I take every other advice she gives me and a huge part of my skin is so flawless now if only that little part of my right side could corporate! see we are never satisfied a year ago I would've given anything to have at least a small part of my clear but now that almost my whole face is clear I am complaining! anyway always seek a dermatologist for any skin-related issues.
5. have a skincare routine. wash your face after every makeup and every night, and keep it simple because lots of products clog your skin and will give you acne. I find the cetaphil soap bar cleanser to be a safe choice and that's all I've been using for about a year now.
6. always wear sunscreen. your dermatologist will tell you the same thing and it will be the best decision you ever made. even if your skin has a lot of melanin you can still get sunburn and you can still get skin cancer from too much uv rays exposure. If you have struggled with acne and you have dark spots then you should definitely wear sunscreen because you will get more dark spots and your skin will take longer to get clear. Sunscreen is always a good choice.
7. always wear clothes that make you feel like yourself. the first thing people see is your appearance and what you wear so take your time to figure out what you want to wear and pick something that shows exactly who you are or who you want to become.
8. use hydrating liquid skin cleanser. trust me it will help keep your skin soft and vibrant whereas the bar soap dries out your skin
