Whats the biggest looksMaxxing thing you've ever done that made a real difference?

It can be absolutely anything from losing weight to surgery to eating something specific to a beauty product, an enhancement that you have done every few weeks .

I'm in my mid-30s, and I used to be an attractive woman in my late 20s. Then I caught COVID, and due to long-lasting neurological symptoms, it's really taken a toll on the way I look. I've tried small doses of everything, but perhaps I need to be more persistent with one thing. I do have a really good diet. I get blow dries weekly. Wear good quality makeup, etc., but I just feel I look like crap all the time.

HRT, tret and SPF

Weight training - gamechanger
Walking an hour daily - outside or in walking pad. Walking is underrated
Wearing colours that suit me
Losing weight- fat is ageing

That sounds so hard to deal with. You seem really motivated as well, which helps.

So, definitely speak to an orthodontist. Book a consultation, can't hurt. A nice smile and a fixed side profile will do wonders.

Everything else: honestly, just get your hair done. Seriously, a nice hairdo can work miracles. Change it up drastically, if needed.

Worth figuring out if you have any food intolerances. Definitely cut out dairy and possibly the usual culprits like gluten / wheat.

If you know anyone trying to lose weight or get in shape: try buddying up and helping each other / motivating each other.

Weight training at the gym - amazing transformation!

Which of the Biodance face masks do you use or think work best?

do you have a link to this, where you went? I’m interested in trying something like this.

@Hereforadviceee May I ask which permanent straightening solution you had success with? I would love for my hair to be less frizzy, but there are so many straightening solutions available that I wouldn't know where to start! (My hair is curly, but the curls don't hold if exposed to The Great Outdoors, or I put it up)

I have had a mimoko it has to be done professionally it’s not something you can get from the shops nor is it a keratin treatment so be careful not to fall for those! It costs me just over £400 but in London you’re looking at £600/800. Type into Japanese hair straightening and find someone who spealises in it. I go to Bristol for mine, can share their details if that’s close for you.

Invisalign. Being able to beam a confident smile after a lifetime of hiding my teeth and refusing photos 10/10 worth it.

Thank you, @Hereforadviceee ! Unfortunately, Bristol is over three hours away. Shrewsbury looks to be the closest option, as I am in North Wales! The results look quite impressive. I'll add a Momoko treatment to the to-do list!

Botox

Plus a boob reduction

INCREDIBLE

Also eyebrows.

lips.

Invisalign

Tell me more 😊

Face massage at home with jojoba oil, pretty much everyday, and exercising, stretching and massaging my neck a lot, where right muscles can pull on the lower face

Made a massive difference to the shape and tightness of my face.

Did you use a particular program? And how long for each day?

Dermatica skincare, botox, well placed filler. No or very little processed food. Weight training 4 times a week. I'm 45 and happy with how I look apart from my boobs. Too scared for surgery but I'll take the rest of it.

I found a video on tiktok, tried it a few times and it really worked now I've adapted that over time with some other moves I know. Just search for lymphatic face massage on insta or tiktok and they'll be loads

So far:
Settled at a good weight for my frame, stopped cutting my own fringe with nail scissors 😁, making sure I'm dressing in my colours and not ruining good outfits with bad shoes. Best of all, started using a mild retinoid every other night - you get a horrible few months of chronic spottiness as the skin purges and then nice, glowy clear skin. Just make sure to use factor 50 in the day time as it does make the skin more sensitive to UV damage. Tooth whitening.

Still to do:
Botox for perpetual frown line, breast lift.
