Whether you're annoyed by acne, shy about the chest you think is too flat or if you haven't been able to lose those 5 (or even 15) stubborn pounds, don't despair. There are a few tricks to looking
better naked without having to hit the gym or resorting to plastic surgery or other painful procedures!
Below are 14 tips for looking sizzling in your birthday suit.
Look better naked tip #1 
Exfoliate!
Exfoliate, exfoliate: especially in the wintertime, skin tends to be dry and flaky, so it's important to scrub off dead skin cells in order to look radiant in the buff. Make sure that what he
touches is perfectly soft so that he'll want to do it more... and more! After exfoliating, try substituting your regular moisturizer for one with a sexy sheen or for baby oil.
Look better naked tip #2
Get a Tan
If you are self-conscious about your curves, tanning is a great way to look thinner without actually having to diet. For a chiseled face, sweep bronzer across the apples of your
cheeks, or for Bar Rafaeli-like legs, use a darker bronzer on the outside of the leg and blend with a lighter shade on the inside. A tan can also hide other imperfections like spider veins and
stretch marks.
Bonus tip: Colored sheets can give you the appearance of a warmer skin tone, even without a tan.
Look better naked tip #3
Find a Sensuous Shimmer
Makeup may make you feel sexier; however, you don't want it to smear all over your sheets. Instead of using a heavy foundation or cream, opt for an oil-free tinted moisturizer to even out your skin
tone, such as the aptly named Naked Glow Shimmer. It blends easily into the skin, can be used all over your body, and contains tiny light reflecting prisms to give you a dewy, sensuous look.
Look better naked tip #4
Touch up Flaws
Some Hollywood make-up artists swear by Preparation H to camouflage any bruises. (It's also been suggested that it can also minimize under-eye bags and fine wrinkles -- with the original
formulation now found only in the Canadian version of Preparation H to be the most effective.)
Bonus tip: Make your eyes extra bright with some anti-redness eye drops!
Look better naked tip #5
Squeeze in a Quick Workout
Don't go all out with a full-body workout which can leave you fatigued, sweaty and in need of another shower, but a few wall push ups and squats will get the blood pumping in your
muscles and leave them appearing more toned.
Look better naked tip #6
Opt for a Warm Fragrance
Looking sweet is irrelevant if you don't also smell great. Draw attention to your décolletage and wrists by dabbing on a warm, spicy fragrance such as Coco by Coco Chanel. (For more
perfume/fragrance suggestions, see how to find the right scent for you!)
Look better naked tip #7
Catch the Wave
Try not to wash your hair if possible. Styling is easier to do on day-old hair -- and tousled, wavy hair can be sexy. Leave it down so it falls at your shoulders for a natural look, which will also
give him something to run his fingers through. Skip the product and extra hairspray too -- if his fingers get stuck, your scalp may get an unexpected (and not-so-sexy) yank!
Look better naked tip #8
Grooming... Down There
And don't forget to groom the hair down there! Accessorize your bikini line with crystals or have it waxed into a playful shape. Or, for those who prefer to go au naturel, just a quick
trim with scissors can make all the difference.
Look better naked tip #9
Find the Right Lighting
Looking good naked isn't just about your skin -- a soft lighting scheme can help flatter your figure. Avoid harsh fluorescents whenever possible, and instead try to incorporate mood
lighting, such as candles, uplighting or floor lamps.
Look better naked tip #10
Adjust the Temperature
You will also want to make sure the temperature in the room isn't too hot or cold before ditching your clothes. Too warm will have you sweating, whereas icy temps will leave you shivering and spiky
from your recent shave.
Bonus tip: For an extra turn-on, rub some ice on your nipples so that they show just enough before you undress!
Look better naked tip #11
Get Pampered
Don't underestimate the power of a simple mani/pedi. When your hands and feet are in tip-top shape, you benefit from the
self confidence boost, and it shows! Splurge on a manicure and pedicure, and don't be afraid to try out a little color. Go for something bold and red, or soft and warm like a peach or
plum hue. The callus removal will leave your feet touchably soft, so he'll love it when you rub your feet against his. ...you may even luck out with a foot rub!
Look better naked tip #12
Limit Your Food & Drink Before
While it might seem like a good idea to calm your nerves by having a nice large meal or downing a couple of glasses of wine for that extra "liquid" courage, eat and drink only lightly before
stripping down to the nude. (Otherwise you will risk looking bloated... like you're pregnant with a food baby.)
Look better naked tip #13
Accessorize
Just because you are naked doesn't mean you can't accessorize! High heels are sexy and have the advantage of making your legs look especially lean -- plus heals give your butt an extra
lift. Or, for a more playful option, don a feather boa or a rocking' piece of dangly jewelry that you can also use to tickle and tease him later.
Look better naked tip #14
Get Confident
Lastly, don't forget to enjoy yourself. Remember, if you feel sexy and fabulous, you will look it -- even in the buff. ...and confidence is, afterall, the ultimate sexiness! Smile, practive good
posture and have a positive attitude!
