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.

once again nice information thank you
I enjoy doing all of the above, but haven’t been to a nail salon since lockdown so do them at home instead
I have been crossdressing in the closet. Once a week I will go and buy my self some femme things I want to make me feel more femme . My wife caught me dressed femme and laughted at me. So she asked me if I wanted to be a woman . I then told her yes I love feeling smooth and femme and wearing womens things
Being femme doesn’t always mean you need to have sex with a man…unless you’re bisexual.you You can be feminine without the desire to be with a man. Just saying.
What did she say when you said you wanted to be a woman?
she asked me if I like feeling femme and did I want sex with a man. I said yes
A little off topic I guess, but wearing a mask now is pretty much mandatory now when out in public. I actually find it very easy to blend in as any other woman when I am out shopping now! Especially for us older gals! How about you? Here I am the other day at Macy’s! Have fun and out there and be safe! Hugs, Suzy
So true. I went out in public as a girl for the first time, and the mask made it so much less intimidating, whether at the grocery store or picking up a to-go order.
I agree with you so much. With the mask protocol, I can shop so many retails stores and buy more clothing on sale without all the questions for who am I buying it for. I even had some sales clerks helping me pick our dresses.
I along with my wife get a pedi-cure once a month. November’s visit going to get them to apply some nail polish
i need to as well do my fingernails…are there any products to use the next morning when the make up is off
Some great tips here Lucille!
I get a manicure every two weeks. I wear acrylics because my nails are week and brittle. I love them.
I get a pedicure once a month.
I have never tried a mask. I think I’ll give it a shot and see what it’s like.
Thanks Lucille!
You courage is amazing and fills me with hope. I am days away from my 53, birthday, and am just starting my experience of cross dressing. Right now I am only ready at home with my wonderful supportive wife, who is also giving me tips.
My wife caught me wearing her sexy panties. She then asked me do they make you feel femme. I said yes. I would love to have sex with a man now
