hey everyone and welcome to top think today we're gonna learn about six proven ways to instantly
look better now let's begin number one consider biases everything you wear down to the smallest
detail affects the way people perceive you wearing a tie suggests neatness and professionalism a gold
necklace shows class and prestige these small but impactful additions can and will revolutionize
your appearance out of the hundreds of accessories out there few are as meaningful as a watch a clean
well-kept watch tells people you're reliable and trustworthy people will assume they can count on
you simply because you have easy access to the time now it doesn't matter whether you actually
are a timely person wearing a watch leads people to assume things about your personality and when
someone likes your personality well they naturally perceive you as better looking this is a great
example of a common cognitive bias called a fundamental attribution error it's when you
make assumptions about someone's personality based on situational evidence so if someone
sees you wearing a watch they might subconsciously assign you certain personality traits they see you
as consistent and honest even though your watch has nothing to do with your personality you can
take advantage of this natural bias by dressing the way you want to be seen so if you want people
to think you're smart confident or successful then let your clothes do the talking number two
exfoliating bananas the next time you eat a banana don't throw away the peel yeah I know they may not
taste very good but banana skins are a natural remedy for a number of different physical issues
they reduce swelling and redness when you have a rash rubbing one on a mosquito bite makes the
area less sensitive and itchy and by adding this technique to your morning routine your skin will
feel softer and smoother in no time banana skins a number of vitamins minerals and antioxidants that
improve the health of your skin they primarily promote cell regeneration now that means your
skin can get rid of dying cells and make new ones faster this process also exfoliates your skin it
cleans out dirt toxins and grease which all caused irritation and acne treating your skin with a
banana peel looks exactly well like it sounds you literally rub a banana peel right there on your
face it might seem a little stupid but this trick will leave your skin looking polished and hydrated
try it start by taking out or eating the inside of the banana you want to use a fresh peel to
make sure you get the most out of this treatment now rub the inside of the peel around your face
it'll leave behind a thin slimy layer on your skin you can leave this residue on your skin for
as long as half an hour if you don't want to wait that long then just let the residue dry then rinse
it off with warm water it's simple and a tiny bit strange I'll admit but it really does work after
a few days of this treatment you'll notice a huge difference in the way you look number 3 rinse your
follicles for thousands of years people have been treating their hair with rice water one of the
most famous examples comes from Japanese history in the Heian period royal women used rice water to
nurture and elongate their hair they would comb their hair with rice water every morning this
would reduce friction and increase its flexibility over time this technique helped their hair grow
all the way down to the floor many different villages in China used this same technique because
they consistently wash their hair with rice water people of all ages have thick and healthy locks
when you think about rice you probably don't think of it as a form of hair care it's normally a food
something you pair with meat or vegetables to add some much-needed carbs to your meal now
one of those carbs a chemical called inositol is what gives your hair such an amazing boost after
you wash out the rice water the inositol from the rice we'll stick around it's strengthens
each individual follicle and it helps them retain moisture this keeps your follicles from becoming
thin and brittle inositol also reduces the likelihood of baldness many people lose their
hair because they don't have enough inositol in their diet so by washing with rice water you can
stave off baldness before it affects the rest of your hair outside of inositol rice contains all
important amino acids which make up everything from your nails to your hair the amino acids
in the rice water will repair damage and reduce thinning at the root this means that your hair
will look fuller and healthier that just leaves us with one more question how do you actually make
rice water all you have to do is boil some rice make sure you fill the putt with a little more
water than you normally do because you don't want the rice to soak it all up after it's cooked for
a while then strain out the rice you'll be left with a white cloudy liquid when that cools down
just pour it over your hair and gently massage your scalp wait at least 10 to 15 minutes and
then wash your hair thoroughly with normal water this easy and effective addition to your routine
will enhance your look almost instantly number 4 caffeinate your eyes have you ever woken up with
bags under your eyes not only do they look bad but they also make everyone you interact with think
you're downright exhausted bags or dark circles often stem from a lack of sleep when you don't
get a full eight hours your eyes retain excess blood and fluid this collects around the bottom
of your eyes causing inflammation and puffiness i bags can also develop as you get older the skin
and muscles around your eyes will naturally get weaker that means they're more susceptible to
swelling and other kinds of damage luckily there's a simple trick you can use to enliven your eyes
every morning to start you need to black or green tea bags place them in hot water like you normally
would to make tea after three minutes take the tea bags out of the hot water and move them to the
fridge once they're cold make sure you squeeze out any excess liquid then place one tea bag over each
I let them sit for 15 minutes to get rid of those pesky eye bags yeah I know it sounds like a weird
parlor trick but this does actually work a 2012 study tested the effectiveness of black and green
tea treatments against other proven supplements it turns out the tea bags were the most successful
treatment in the whole study the anti-inflammatory properties of tea significantly reduced swelling
and irritation around the eyes researchers noticed that green tea is even more effective than black
tea the difference actually comes down to taste green tea tastes better because of the extra
flavonoids which helps the tea treat inflammation that much better so if you're sick and tired of
everyone thinking you look sick and tired then use this technique to rejuvenate your eyes as little
as 15 minutes a day can completely change your look and feel number 5 hide your tongue are you
tired of being the least photogenic person that you know do you look crazy or stiff every time
that you smile if you can't stand the way you look in photos then try using this easy trick to make
you look happier and more relaxed the trick is to move your tongue to a different part of your mouth
when you start smiling now normally you're so concerned with showing your teeth that you forget
your tongue even exists most people accidentally shove their tongue into the bottom of their mouth
you probably don't realize how much it's affecting your smile your tongue is connected to most of the
muscles and tendons around your mouth when your tongue is sitting in a weird spot it shows in
your cheeks your lips and your chin next time you take a picture move your tongue to the roof of
your mouth right behind your teeth this movement tenses up the lower part of your face and your
features will naturally look slimmer and more defined it won't completely transform your look
sorry but adjusting the position of your tongue will earn you a more flattering smile number 6
modify your scent does your sense have anything to do with your physical appearance most people
would say no they think sight and smell are completely unrelated but recent research says
otherwise a 2014 study tested whether different smells affect people's physical preferences in
other words new good smells make people seem more attractive a group of participants were
shown different female faces which ranged in general attractiveness each picture was paired
with one of five odors the first odor rose oil smelled the best while the fifth odor fish oil
smelled the worst so what did they find well the Pleasant smells did significantly improve
ratings of attractiveness across the board participants rated faces paired with rose
oil much higher than faces paired with fish oil so that means the presence of different smells
changed their visual perception taking things one step further the same study tested whether or not
Pleasant smells can make people look younger they ran a similar experiment except this time
they varied the ages of the faces instead of the attractiveness participants were instructed to
rate how old the person in the picture looked sure enough the rose oil significantly affected the
estimated age faces paired with positive smells appeared younger than faces paired with negative
smells so if you want to give yourself an instant boost you can adjust more than just your physical
appearance try wearing a new more appealing smell to transform the way people perceive you thanks
