Truthfully speaking, I am not a lady from a decent family, who is fair-skinned and attractive(白富美) . Instead, I am a girl with plain-looking from a farmer family. All these years, I have been focusing on working hard to improve myself, seldom caring about my outer beauty. Therefore, I am often told that I am a gifted girl with inner beauty. Certainly I hold the belief that inner beauty outweighs outer beauty. However, things happened to me make me change my attitude towards this perspective.
Scene 1 In the clinic
On a rainy afternoon last month, I headed for the clinic to grab some medicine for my daughter because she had a cold. I had the sunburned skin, and my hair and clothes were wet owning to the downpour. My embarrassing appearance left a bad impression on the doctor. I sensed sort of impatience in the doctor’s when he raised his voice saying,"Take your daughter here. "
Scene 2 In the same clinic
This time it varied from the first time. I had a light make-up as well as fully dressed myself. It appeared that I was younger than before. The doctor became patient . What's more, he called me "little sister",saying every word gently.
We are told never judge a person by his or her appearance. However, we frequently judge others' appearance just like the doctor I met before. Now that appearance is of significance, what can we do to make our appearance looks much prettier?
（I search the internet to find out the answer. If you are eager to become more beautiful, you can refer to the following suggestions.）
Smile
First and foremost thing to remember is that you always ought to have a smile on your face.What you must be concerned about is that you should have genuine but not fake smile because real smile makes you look beautiful instantly, in a moment.
Skin
Next thing which makes you look beautiful is your skin. Protecting the skin is of utmost importance as the sun rays can harm your skin. Always protect your skin from sun damage by applying some kind of good quality moisturizer.
Make Up
Apply make up but do not go overboard as it is sure to look faux or unnatural. Learn to apply the make up in such a way that it looks natural. For example, you can use blush to enhance your cheek but don't blush them so much that you start to look like some kind of a clown.
Hair
Next in the list is your hair. Care for your hair all the time by getting regular hair-cuts and using shampoos and conditioner that is appropriate only for your hair type. Don't go using any generic kind of a shampoo or hair care product. Always use products that would benefit your hair. Exercise caution in using too many chemical treatments however, as that can adversely harm your hair. For example, too many harsh products without the use of proper conditioning will leave the hair with no shine and would look lifeless as well.
Clothes
Now, that you are done with the care of your skin and care, it is the turn of your clothes. Choose the right clothes for the occasion and be sure that they fit you well. Please do not wear clothes that are too loose (baggy) or that are too short or too long. Also, make sure that the shoes/ sandals that you are wearing are in good condition and do not have scuffmarks in them. Footwear with scuffmarks would look real ugly.
Water
Your skin would benefit from water. So, make it a point to drink atleast 8 glasses of water a day. Your body needs water to function properly and your skin will benefit from it as well. Not only this, drinking water will make you feel good from inside and you will surely look prettier.
Exercise
Getting exercise is the key to a healthy body and skin. If you exercise regularly, your skin would glow and you would look prettier. Exercise also helps in relieving stress and tension from the body and mind. Contrary to what you might think, it is not really necessary to get plenty of exercise. A 30 minute workout each day is more than enough to keep you fit and healthy. You will start feeling the difference in no time at all.
Posture
Your posture or the way you sit or stand can make a difference in the way you look! You might think that it is unimportant, but believe us, it sure is true. Standing straight and in a proper way makes you look like you respect yourself and often people would follow your lead. It also has a wonderful visual effect of soothing out any kind of bulges that you might have on the wrong places on your body. Hence, always remember that posture is very important and can go a long way in making you look much more attractive and prettier than you already are.
Attitude
Always remember that although you might be looking absolutely gorgeous on the outside, but a bad attitude towards others can make you seem real ugly inside. In turn, this will make people stop paying any kind of attention to who you are on the outside.
Follow the steps mentioned above to look prettier. But know one thing - you must always understand the value of inner beauty. There are many "pretty" people in this world but "beauty" is very hard to find. There is a fine difference between the two. After you communicate with a "beautiful" person, you would surely come to know what we are talking about.
