A lovely smile is something that everybody wants! And being complimented on how pretty your smile is, may be an incredible feeling.
But as said, nothing good will ever come your way if you do not put in a little effort. Expecting a magnificient smile without doing anything, is just like hoping to wake up a millionaire!
If you want a smile that outshines everybody else’s, then you must put in the effort. We came up with 10 tricks to make your smile look charming!
Exfoliate Your Lips
A key tip for an incredible smile is to exfoliate your lips. No one wants dry, chapped lips, but lip scrubs can even be expensive. So rather than spending tons of money on expensive lip scrubs, make your own at home. Here’s a little DIY Lip Scrub:
You will need some sugar and a few honey. Mix the two and use the mixture to scrub your lips. This will remove all the flaky dead skin on your lips.
Brush Your Teeth with Whitening Toothpaste
Instead of selecting regular toothpaste, choose a teeth whitening toothpaste. Use it twice a day, to get that perfect pearly white skin.
Use a Straw
Coffee and tea can stain your teeth very badly. And over time these blemishes become permanent, which will absolutely affect your smile. So ensure the next time you reach for a drink, bring a straw and use a straw to avoid staining your teeth.
Conceal the Area Around Your Lips
Before applying lip color, conceal the area around your lips. Any discoloration around the lips can distort your lip color and smile. Applying a small amount of concealer will make sure that your smile gets its best start. Also, it helps to get the exact shade of lipstick as on the package since you are giving the lipstick a neutral base.
Highlight Your Cupid’s Bow
After applying lipstick, grab your favourite highlighter and brush and highlight your Cupid’s Bow. This makes your lips look fuller and adds a little bit of shine to them, providing you with a nice smile.
Use a Lipstick with Cool Undertones
Lipstick with a cool base color like blue tends to wash out the yellow tint on your teeth. So, if you want to make your teeth look whiter and your smile sparkle, choose a lipstick in a cool undertone rather than a warm undertone.
Do Yoga Before Bed
Many people tend to clench their teeth and jaws during sleep. This generally happens because of accumulated stress during the day. Clenching teeth can cause microfractures in your tooth structure, which clearly will not look pretty when you smile. It is suggested to do yoga before going to bed, to release stress and all tension from your mind, so that you have a good sleep, and you do not grit your teeth.
Eat Fruits and Vegetables
It’s a strange hack! But still, it is extremely effective. Chewing raw, crunchy veggies and fruits helps scrape off the plaque that builds up on your teeth, and makes them look yellow. With plaque gone, you will have whiter, brighter teeth, which will enhance your smile.
Happy Breathing
Imagine, you have a magnificient smile and everybody loves it. But as soon as you open your lips to smile, the person in front of you gets a bad smell, which comes from your mouth. Don’t want that, now do you?
A bad smell comes from your unclean tongue. It’s important to scrape your tongue. Get used to using mouthwash. Also, carry breath freshener wherever you go!
Certain
A smile won’t ever look pretty if it does not reflect confidence. Be confident and assured. Not only will it provide you with the most perfect smile but it will also make you feel good about yourself.
Putting everything aside, at all times remember: You are incredible, just the way you are!
