Hey everyone. After going through a lot of looksmaxxing advice, I wanted to put together a guide that keeps the useful stuff and removes the pseudoscience, dangerous diets, useless exercises and random supplements.
No promises of โ+1 PSL in 3 monthsโ. Just the things that can realistically improve how you look.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

Keep them reasonably thick and natural.
Remove only hairs that are clearly outside your natural eyebrow shape, especially between the brows or far underneath them.
Donโt aggressively thin or reshape them.
Castor oil isnโt necessary and there isnโt strong evidence that it will magically grow new eyebrow hair.
๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐
Leave them alone.
You donโt need to put castor oil directly on your eyelashes or close to your eyes.
๐๐๐ฒ-๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ ๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ป
Protect it.
Use SPF 50 every morning when youโre exposed to daylight.
At night, you can use the same gentle moisturizer you use on the rest of your face.
You donโt need a special โฌ50 eye cream.
๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ
Sleep matters.
Try to keep a consistent wake-up time and aim for roughly 8 hours of sleep.
Also avoid constantly rubbing your eyes.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฎ โ ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป
This is one of the highest-return areas.
You donโt need a 12-step skincare routine.
๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Wash your face.
Apply SPF 50.
Thatโs enough for most people.
๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Use a gentle cleanser.
Then apply a moisturizer.
Consistency matters far more than having ten products.
Donโt intentionally tan yourself just because you think darker skin looks better. UV tanning damages the skin and accelerates skin ageing.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฏ โ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ต
Brush your teeth twice a day for around 2 minutes using fluoride toothpaste.
Once per day, clean between your teeth with floss or interdental brushes.
If you want whiter teeth, use an actual whitening treatment or speak to a dentist.
Coconut oil isnโt a substitute for proper whitening.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฐ โ ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐
Donโt attack your lips with a dry toothbrush or scrub them for five minutes with sugar.
If theyโre dry, use a simple lip balm or petroleum jelly.
Thatโs it.
Healthy lips generally look better than irritated lips that are temporarily red because you scrubbed them.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฑ โ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ
You cannot realistically reshape your nose by squeezing, pushing or exercising it every day.
Cartilage doesnโt work like a bicep.
If youโre already at a healthy body weight, you also donโt need to lose weight just to try to make your nose appear smaller.
Leave it alone.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฒ โ ๐๐ฎ๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ / ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฑ
Donโt spam jaw-opening exercises.
Donโt try to โraise your hyoid boneโ.
Donโt chew extremely hard objects for hours.
And donโt starve yourself just to expose your jawline.
Your lower third will mostly depend on:
โข genetics
โข body composition
โข posture
โข facial hair/grooming
โข overall muscular development
If youโre already lean, losing even more weight may make you look worse rather than better.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ณ โ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐
Do resistance training consistently.
A simple gym routine done several times per week is enough.
Focus on gradually getting stronger while keeping good technique.
You donโt need extreme cardio.
And pain is not the goal of cardio.
Walking and normal cardiovascular exercise are perfectly fine.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ด โ ๐ก๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
Eat enough calories to support your goal.
If youโre already relatively lean and want a better physique, donโt automatically cut weight.
Get enough:
โข protein
โข carbohydrates
โข healthy fats
โข fruit
โข vegetables
โข legumes
โข whole grains
โข nuts
โข fish/meat/eggs or suitable alternatives
A varied diet already covers most vitamins and minerals.
Donโt start taking random D3 + K2 megadoses because a looksmaxxing post told you theyโll increase your jaw, bones or height.
๐ง๐๐ผ ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ
Vitamin D: difficult to guarantee through diet alone.
Iodine: easily supported by using iodized salt in normal amounts.
Supplements should solve an actual need, not be taken as an aesthetic shortcut.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ต โ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ
๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐น๐ฒ:
Donโt start hair-loss medication simply because youโre afraid you might go bald one day.
If you notice genuine progressive recession, thinning or increased shedding, see a dermatologist.
Minoxidil and finasteride are legitimate treatments for androgenetic hair loss, but theyโre treatments, not generic looksmaxxing supplements.
๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ฝ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ
You can massage your scalp gently for a few minutes if you enjoy it.
Itโs relaxing.
Just donโt expect it to magically stop male-pattern baldness.
๐ฆ๐๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด
A haircut that works with your face and hair type can make a much bigger immediate difference than most internet hair โhacksโ.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ญ๐ฌ โ ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐
Once your growth plates are closed, stretching will not make your leg bones or spine permanently longer.
Stretching and mobility can improve posture.
That can make you stand at your full natural height, which is useful.
But donโt expect +2.5 cm of permanent height.
Glucosamine and chondroitin will not allow you to magically keep your morning height all day.
And megadosing vitamin D will not restart bone growth.
Wear shoes you like.
Stand upright.
Move well.
Then forget about it.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ญ๐ญ โ ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐
Donโt build your looksmaxxing routine around supplements.
A supplement should have a reason for being there.
Especially avoid randomly taking very high doses of:
โข Vitamin D
โข Vitamin K
โข minerals
โข โbone growthโ stacks
More isnโt automatically better.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ญ๐ฎ โ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ ๐๐ป๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐
Donโt do jelqing.
Donโt aggressively bend or stretch your penis.
Donโt hang random weights from it.
Donโt use clamps because a forum post promised +1 inch.
These techniques can cause injury and there is no guarantee of meaningful permanent enlargement.
If you ever have a genuine medical concern regarding size, curvature or sexual function, speak to a urologist instead of experimenting on yourself.

Most looksmaxxing is boring.
Thatโs actually good.
The biggest improvements usually come from doing normal things consistently:
sleep well, train, eat properly, take care of your skin, teeth and hair, maintain good hygiene and wear clothes that suit you.
You donโt need 30 facial exercises, ten supplements or a three-month ritual involving castor oil.
Do the basics extremely well.
Thatโs the real softmaxxing.
No promises of โ+1 PSL in 3 monthsโ. Just the things that can realistically improve how you look.
