But this is easier said than done because there’s more to looking glam than putting on makeup and good clothes.
So what can you do to brighten your looks and mood when getting sober?
Read on to find out.
Beauty Tips When Getting Sober
Here’s how to feel pretty when getting sober.
1. Give Your Smile a Makeover
If you’re a recovering smoker, your teeth have probably lost some of their glow. Even if you’ve never smoked, years of drinking coffee can leave your teeth looking dingy.
So, the next time you’re binge-watching your favorite show put on a whitening strip and give your smile a mini makeover. For extreme cases, consider getting dental implants.
2. Soak up Some Sunrays
Besides providing Vitamin D, moderate exposure to sunlight can boost your mood. In fact, sunlight therapy can ease depression. The science behind it is that sunshine increases serotonin levels in your body, which makes you feel happy.
Don’t forget to wear your sunscreen as sunburns can be more depressing to deal with than sun deprivation.
3. Change Your Hairstyle
Sometimes, sticking with the same hairstyle for too long can make you feel like you aren’t making any progress. So experiment with a different hairstyle and see how you look. If you’ve always been curious about highlights, now is the time to try it.
4. Invest in a Face Mist
Face misting is a good mood booster that you should do regularly. It leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed.
You can apply the face mist directly after taking a shower or after applying makeup for a more lived-in, dewy finish.
5. Go Crazy with Nail Polish
Tangerine, ocean blue, hot pink, and all other bright polish colors are typically reserved for the summer. However, some rules are made to be broken, more so if they can help with the results of your addiction treatment services. So ditch your dark and neutral shades and go for something more flashy.
How to Feel Beautiful as You Recover from Addiction
When it comes to looking good, your inner beauty is just as important as your outer beauty. While these beauty tips may help, you need to keep a healthy mind to feel pretty.
So surround yourself with positive people and avoid situations that stress you out. More importantly, talk to a psychologist on a regular basis so you can keep your mind healthy and productive.
