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.

I have discovered the beauty of essential oils…sweet almond, peppermint and tea tree amongst others…but still need help in the bikini area….shaving resulted in bumps…do you girls wax, vet or shave? Thanks
Try applying a good moisturizing lotion 2 or 3 times in the hours before shaving and again 1 or 2 times after.
I want to become as such.
Thank you so much for these tips. I will have a better skin tomorraow ..
I think your hair is one of the most important parts of your appearance. I am really looking to find better hair care advice. Any tips?
Never use hot water, it must be just warm. And before you get out of the shower bend over so only your hair is under the water, then go for the coldest water you can bear, it seems like it doesn’t do anything, but it seals the hair, preventing moisture from leaving.
I love this tip, thank you!!
I make sure to wear moisturiser with at least spf 15 every day and night cream every night. Plus I wear body cream every day to keep my skin soft and subtle. A girl must maintain her beauty routine at all times including skin care.
I like to add shave regurly
That is i apply spf 100 sun block to my face every morning
i apply a 100 spf sunblock every morning after showering
