The naked truth about being nude is that most people are simply not comfortable in their birthday suit. Sadly it’s the only one we were born with, grew up with and still after many decades, haven’t seemed to grown into our own skin with confidence. Here’s how you can fake it till you make it and believe you got it going on naked until you really do!
Perhaps the best people to take body image self confidence seminars with are strippers or porn stars who get butt nekkid for a living but surely there are many women not in that domain who are equally as comfortable exposing their body. They might not have the perfect shape yet they prance around their significant others or on nude beaches with charisma, grace and pure self-assurance. Not everyone is blessed with that level of comfort but there are some long term and short term things one can do to begin building some much needed love for their bare behind.
Drinking: Water that is! It might not be necessary to guzzle gallons per day but do drink enough to keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant. You’ll have less chances of getting cellulite and pimples as toxins find their way out of your body.
Exercise and eating well: Sounds cliché, but there’s a reason why this age old theory is still practiced, because it’s true. Plenty of exercise and activity will keep your body looking young and eating well will only compliment an already healthy lifestyle.
If you’re not very slim and are battling with weight issues, you still have to behold your beautiful body but it’s never too late to get on the health bandwagon right away. If you decide to start living more health positive from today you’ll hold your head high when you’re naked knowing you have a plan to make some steps in the right direction.
Exfoliate and moisturize: Every day your skin is exposed to sun rays, cold weather, pollutants and harsh clothing materials. Your skin will naturally shed flakes of itself periodically but you can help it along by exfoliating with a good body scrub once a week. Go a little harder on the rougher areas of the body and a little softer on the breasts and neck. Once done, do the following three things – moisturize, moisturize, moisturize- that can not be stressed enough. Flesh needs to be creamed to increase elasticity if it has been exposed to hot water, the sun or any other drying factor. Nothing known can remove stretch marks but you can prevent them further by creaming with a pure cocoa butter lotion.
Grooming: Grooming isn’t limited to combing your hair and painting your nails, it’s a whole array of self care tasks one should do as often as possible not just in the event of being naked. If you’re a bit concerned with your body already, don’t make yourself even more uncomfortable with prickly body hair that could pop a truck tire. Your legs, under arms and bikini area should be given paramount attention so you won’t cringe at the mere thought of your body being touched. If your skin is pasty white in sunlight, perhaps you need some help with an over the counter faux sun self tanner. It will help to minimize the appearance of body flaws and even out the skin with a nice gradual glow.
Creating the mood: If you’ve ever had to try on a bathing suit in a try on room with over head lighting you’ll agree it’s quite disgusting and could make even a super model look bad- alright maybe not a super model but it sure is disgusting. No matter what color your walls are painted or what sort of furniture you have, everything looks flawless by candlelight, including you! It’s the lighting of angels; always flattering and very easy on the eyes. If you want to smooth out lumps and bumps, consider a back light you can stand in front of but street lamps on your sidewalk shining in through your window shouldn’t be considered unless you don’t mind an admiring audience viewing your backside.
Positioning: It might sound silly to suggest the way you stand will create the illusion of a better body but it’s absolutely true. If you stand on a diagonal to your subject with one leg slightly more forward than the other and a straight back, you will slim up your appearance by several pounds. If you stand with one hand on your hip, you not only exude a woman in control but it will emphasize your curves. When you sit or lie down, put your feet up with pointed toes. This will elongate your legs lending a much sleeker silhouette. Hard as it might be, try not to fiddle or twitch with discomfort. The sexiest thing about a woman is one who portrays self assurance regardless of her body shape or size. Finally, look him right in the eyes. No matter how uncomfortable you may feel in any given moment, remember that everyone in the world has some sort of insecurity battle to be contended with. Right in that moment, you are winning yours!
