1. Have good hygiene. Take some care of yourself by showering daily. If you are very active and sweat a lot then you should consider showering twice a day. Brush and floss your teeth after every meal for a beautiful smile and to prevent cavities. Also, remember to use lotion for soft, smooth skin. Wash your clothes every weekend or whenever you have time, and wear a clean outfit daily. Comb your hair, spray on a good perfume, and blow your nose.Consider shaving. Shaving yourself these days is sometimes considered hygienic, but did you know that it helps you get rid off unwanted odours? It is important to shave your legs,bikini line, and armpit hair. Armpit hair holds odour longer than skin, and you don't want to smell bad. If shaving is too annoying you could try hair removal cream, but it can irritate the skin. Also, before going to the beach, make sure you have a good bikini line.

Take care of your hair. Wash your hair about 3-6 times a week - it varies how much you should wash your hair depending on your hair type. Wash it with shampoo that is appropriate for your hair.
* Rinse the shampoo out with lukewarm water, or, if you are tough enough, you can rinse it with cold water (the cold water will give your hair an extra shine). After you wash your hair, you should condition it, but maybe not every time if your hair gets oily easily. Be sure to use a good shampoo and conditioner made for your hair type or use a different kind that makes your hair shine bright and smell good.
* Make sure to get a hair cut about every two months/3 months to avoid split ends. If you have frizzy hair, find a good anti-frizz spray at a local store.
* If you want, you can try extensions. Since going to a salon can burn a hole in your wallet, and damage your hair, why don't you try a clip on piece?
* As an extra treat, you can apply a mask to your hair. Apply the hair mask mostly at the ends, leave it for a about fifteen minutes and rinse it of. After this you can dry and style it the way you want.

Get in shape. Exercise, and tone up your body. Find an exercise that works for you. You don't have to look anorexic to be in shape. Looking fit is more attractive than being too skinny. Remember, the people in magazines are not the real image of beauty. Do little things like integrate more fruits and vegetables into your diet. Eat all of the required amounts of fruit and/or vegetables for your age, and make sure to make an effort to work out at least a little bit. It gets old, but drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.

Take care of your face and skin. Taking care of your skin and face can be hard because everyone's skin is different. You can have oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, acne, or a combination of any of the above. This is why it is important to experiment with different face-care products to find one that fits you.
* For people with dry skin: if your skin is so dry to the point that it is flaking off then in the shower, or with warm water in the sink, take a washcloth and gently rub the extremely dry areas on you face with a little soap on the washcloth. Dry, and then apply toner and lotion to your whole face. If your skin isn't as dry, then just apply the toner, and a good moisturizing lotion. Sun lotions (for after tanning) are the most hydrating.
If you don't want to use chemicals or products for your skin, then you can either try:

* Eating fruit and vegetables (this gets rid of acne and smooths your skin)
* Try to be outside in fresh air. This really helps as it cleans the skin, get's rid of spots, acne and oily skin. It also leaves your skin smooth and healthy looking, and it also gives you some color so you don't look so pale.
* Try taking a sauna. This is excellent if you want to get smooth and soft skin, as well as getting rid of acne. It leaves dry and sensitive skin feeling smooth and healthy.
* Be sure to wear clothes that fit or clothes that show off a little. Don't be a skank, but don't cover it all. Wear something with straps sometimes and you might want to try wearing really short shorts (I prefer jeans).
* Walk tall. Slouching can make you look unconfident, which is not "hot". A good rule of thumb is to make sure that your chest leads each step. Make sure you don't overdo it, but more often than not you won't have proper posture. Remind yourself every once and a while.
