Look My Beauty is all about finding ways to elevate your beauty in ways that feel 100% authentic to who you are – whether that means simple steps like looking in the mirror and making eye contact, to more complex ones like selecting makeup and clothes to complement your unique coloring.
Makeup
Makeup can have many different impacts on Look My Beauty, including recalling historical/cultural evolution, serving as a vehicle for self-expression and augmenting one’s appearance. Furthermore, makeup may have negative repercussions for self-esteem – for instance YouTube beauty influencers can sometimes experience criticism from their viewers leading them down a spiral of guilt that leads them into introjecting or acting out to avoid negative feelings. Furthermore, social media promotion of cosmetics creates unrealistic expectations about beauty which further damages self-esteem.
Skin Care
Skin care routines are an integral component of many women’s beauty looks. From follow-an-influencer’s 11-step regimens to simply washing your face twice daily, skincare regimens play an integral part of creating beautiful looks. We offer an assortment of products designed to meet each specific need; for acne prone and oily skin types we suggest foaming cleansers containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide while dry skin sufferers might benefit from lotion formulas containing hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid.

Nails
Nails have taken center stage as part of fashion and as an indicator of our health. Any changes to their color, texture or shape should be brought up to your physician as soon as they occur, Linder advises. They could indicate diabetes, heart disease or melanoma. Most nails feature a white half-moon shape at their bases called the lunula; it should be larger on thumb nails than pinkies to indicate infection; any swelling, redness or puffiness in this feature could indicate inflammation in that area.
