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 not known where Beauty product apply cd pl name of product and use step by step information please
Thank you for the suggestions. One thing that I am trying is a product called leave it bare that is supposed to keep hair from growing back after waxing. I’m not sure if it works or not I have used it for about 10 days. But hopefully
It does. For nails I have been trying to grow them so I let them frow but then it’s harder to shape and trim them and they keep breaking!!! I keep trying to remind myself that my gender is not just about how I look. It’s been a hard week.
Another great article.
I think one most ignored step is arm hair. I see so many transgender girls with ‘Gorilla’ arms. I think if you are afraid or hesitant to trim/shave your arm hair, at least wear something with long sleeves! My own arm hair is light colored and sparse. I still shave them regularly.
True and shaving doesn’t even change hair that much in the long term and nothing at all just for shaving a few times and lots of people just keep shaving their arms, it’s very quick and painless to do as well :).

I believe a consultation with a clothing person who can enhance your appearance is important. Also, I pay to have my make-up done by a professional when I have an important event to attend. I’m 75 and the hands are not real steady plus I do not get out that often. In retrospect, I wish that my bi-sexual and cross dressing issues were fully established in my younger years. I would be a total woman.
Moisturize, moisture moisturize…
Keep your teeth white. Even slightly yellow teeth look worse with certain lipstick shades. Women generally smile more than men, so whiten up and smile more!
I get fasciaIs monthly .I am shaving weekly, painting fingers &toes. ..wigs that work well.
Swim 1 hr /day, 5 days /wk. Wife is a Chef & we eat sensibly. At 71 yo, not much more I can do. CD’ing over 65 yrs. Still trying to improve every week to go out on the town.

Thanks for your very kind & encouraging words.
It is so much Hard Work to be as good as you can be! !
I try hard to stay proud to represent. Going to Gender Odessey in Seattle, Washington in August for 4 days. I will dress up every day! ! I am excited about this trip. Just hope my knees / feet hold up. Probably wear some flats as well as heels.
Enjoy being You! T.J.
