Charm is a powerful quality that every person would like to have, and is the quality of being attractive in either demeanor or appearance. If you think you aren't charming enough, read on for easy steps on how to improve yourself.
Steps
Physical Charm
-
1Have good hygiene. A dirty person is not attractive. Make sure to shower or bathe daily, making sure to thoroughly cleanse your body with body wash or soap from shoulders to feet. Wash your neck to if you think having a clean neck will make you charming. Brush your teeth at least twice daily and for at least two minutes. Make sure to always wear clean clothes and apply deodorant if necessary.[1]
-
2Care for your skin. Always wash your face in the morning. You can either do this by splashing it with cool water and gently patting it damp, or taking a face cloth, soaking it in warm water, and gently wiping your face clean. Use a facial cleanser if necessary. Make sure to always apply moisturizing facial lotion after washing your face. Also apply moisturizing body lotion to your body after showering or bathing.
- Face masks are another great way to care for your skin. Pumpkin is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and E, making it a great ingredient to include in your mask.
- White clay or turmeric are great face mask ingredients for oily skin.
- Yogurt mixed with 1 tsp (4.9 mL) of honey is another great mask you can try. Leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and then wipe it off with a cloth.

3Have perfect teeth. Get braces if your teeth are crooked.[2] Even slightly crooked. Perfectly straight teeth are very appealing and charming according to some. Brush your teeth two to three times a day, using a whitening toothpaste and optional, a high-quality, electrical toothbrush. Brush for 2 minutes. Floss once at night and use mouthwash if necessary.[3] This is essential to being charming.
-
4Have healthy, shiny hair. Leave your hair medium or long lengthen, or short. Hair lengths have little to no bearing on how charming anyone is. Wash your hair with a shampoo that works well with your hair. Make sure to massage your scalp when you lather the shampoo in and rinse thoroughly. Use conditioner on your hair from the bottom of the neck, down. Using conditioner on your roots will make your hair flat and greasy. Wash your hair every other day to every 3 days. Style it different everyday and try out different hairstyles and haircuts. Make sure to brush your hair in the morning and rid it of all tangles and knots. Don't use heat on your hair or dye your hair too often.
-
5Have a healthy body. Cut down on all the junk foods you eat and replace them with whole, healthy foods. Make sure to get your daily dose of protein such as chicken, fish, tofu, nuts, etc. Also stack up on the fruits and vegetables. Exercise daily for 30 minutes to an hour. Drink lots of water and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.[4]
- Snack on some dark chocolate if you're craving something sweet—it's full of antioxidants.
-
6Have a good fashion sense. Experiment with different clothes and wear appealing, flattering clothes that are comfortable and that fit. They cannot be too tight nor too baggy. Slightly loose clothes are fine, though. Sometimes just wear casual clothes like sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. Make sure your clothes are charming.
-
7Apply light makeup, optional. Makeup can really help spark up your creativity and make you look even more glamorous than you already are and make your beautiful features pop. A little bit of brown mascara (clump-free), neutral eyeshadow, concealer that matches your skin tone, powder, and lip gloss or balm is fine.
Personality Charm
-
1Smile. Smiling is physical, but anyone can smile at any time. Smiling will make people around you (including yourself), feel more happy and bright. Someone who smiles all the time is really attractive. Smiling will make you seem approachable. Whenever you see someone (even if you don't know them very well or at all), shine a big smile at them, chances are they'll smile back.
-
2Be humble. Don't try to show off too much or boast. Having pride, dignity, and confidence is definitely a must, but don't overdo it and let someone else have the spotlight on them every once in a while. Try not to be too overly loud or annoying. This may seem attractive to the people who act this way, but it really is not.
-
3Be kind. Kindness is a must! Always give compliments to everyone you know, maybe even strangers.Always offer to do favors for people and help others whenever you can. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Unfortunately, nowadays many people are rude and ignorant, so don't be like that.
-
4Be positive. Always smile, always laugh, and always seem happy. Of course, you don't have to be 24/7, because we are all human and we all cry and frown, but don't let it show. Try to have a good temper and think of the good side.
-
5Be brave. Bravery is also important. Be willing to meet new people and speak for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you can't do something. As corny as it sounds, if you believe you can do it, you can. Don't think, act, is a good motto.
-
6Be a good friend. Whenever a friend needs something, offer to help them achieve it. Always be there for the people you love. Friends are people who will help you get through rough times, and that will always support you, forever.
-
7Be confident. Be confident in everything you do, sit or stand up straight, take a deep breath, and believe you can do it. Don't let others push you off your throne. You own yourself, so you can do whatever you want. Always be happy, healthy, and confident, of course, charming.
