Do you want to feel confident and look your best when presenting yourself as a woman?
The great news is that looking attractive is more about how you present yourself than it is about natural-born beauty.
Studies show that physical attractiveness is mostly influenced by “self-care” — how you groom, style your hair, and dress.
This makes grooming and self-care essential to your feminine image!
In this blog post, I’ll share five simple grooming tips to include in your regular beauty routine, all tailored with practical trans / crossdressing advice.
1. Hand Care
Your hands say a LOT about you!
Since your hands may be larger than the average woman’s, it’s especially important to take good care of them. The last thing you want is for your hands to draw unwanted attention.
Beauty prescription:
- Every 1-2 weeks: Give yourself a manicure – or better yet, get a manicure at a nail salon. Clip or file your nails and push back the cuticles with a cuticle pusher.
- Daily: Clean underneath your fingernails with nail brush and apply hand cream several times per day.
2. Hair Removal
You already know that beard stubble and chest hair can undermine your feminine image. But it’s essential to consider other often neglected areas too.
Do you have unwanted hair in any of these particular spots?
- Nose and ears
- Knuckles and toes
- Eyebrows
- Back
- Bikini area
- Arms
- Legs
Beauty prescription:
- Once per week: Shave, trim, wax, and/or pluck the above-mentioned areas as needed.
3. Exfoliation
Exfoliation is the process of scrubbing off dead skin cells. Dead skin cells can dull your complexion and lead to ingrown hairs.
Exfoliation will give you smoother, younger looking skin, which can greatly enhance your appearance as a crossdresser or transgender woman.
Beauty prescription:
- Once or twice per week: Exfoliate your face and body using a washcloth, loofah, or exfoliating scrub. (When exfoliating your face, be sure to use facial products only.)
4. Foot Care
It’s easy to forget your feet, especially during the winter, when they are covered up with shoes and socks. But that’s no excuse to ignore them.
Could you imagine a beauty icon like Marilyn Monroe or Angelina Jolie with cracked heels and ragged toenails? No way – and neither should you.
Beauty prescription:
Twice per month: Treat yourself to a pedicure at home or in a salon. Trim your toenails and (optionally) apply polish. Remove calluses with a pumice stone.
5. Face Mask
Applying a face mask once per week should be part of every girl’s routine. Besides targeting specific skincare concerns, relaxing with a mask is a great way to pamper yourself.
There are face masks designed to address every concern from acne to wrinkles. In addition to cream and clay masks, sheet masks are a popular and convenient option.
Beauty prescription:
- Once per week: Apply a face mask suited to your skin.
What are YOUR must-do beauty rituals?
Being pretty and polished is a great confidence booster. These habits can also make you look better in guy mode, so it’s a win-win.

As a transgender I’m completely shaven and struggles with constant shaving issues. Can anyone offer some advice/tips and how to stay smooth and soft after shaving??
Use a lot of lotion. I completely shave myself; H 2 T. Keep shaved every day; sometimes twice.
Hi,
I was checking for a female grooming checklist, as I was too lazy to think of one myself. In fact yours is the most helpful, even that I was born a woman. Good work!
Perhaps something about oral hygiene is missing. mouth smell is seen as more bad with women than with men. And a lot of women are looking especially at teeths in men and other women. Flossing, brushing and tongue scraping should be a daily and benefits your overall body health
I have been out shopping to many stores and even got both of my Covid-19 shots enfemme. Every time at the end, the person or cashier would say “thank you ma’am”. This included a trip to the dentist with a skirt on as my first time out. You have a great discussion site my dear, keep it up! Lynne
