21M from Brazil — starting looksmaxxing seriously, need honest advice
Hey guys
I’m pretty new to this whole looksmaxxing thing, so I decided to make a proper post and ask for honest feedback.
I’m 21, from Brazil, 170 cm / 5'7 and 63 kg / 139 lbs.
I used to be Very very very skinny for most of my life, basically until around 19. Over the last few years I started eating more, so I put on some weight, but I still wouldn’t say I’m “big” by any means. I’m still fairly light overall — just not the super-skinny version of myself I used to be.
I started going to the gym 3 weeks ago and I’m trying to take this seriously now. My main goal is to improve my overall appearance as much as I can, especially my face.
My biggest priority is definitely:
From the automated analyzers I tried, my results were roughly around:
My own impression is that my face has decent structure, but it looks better in some angles than others.
A few things I’ve noticed about myself:
So overall I feel like the main problem is not “bad bone structure,” but more like softness / bloating / lack of definition at the moment.
My hair is another thing I’m concerned about.
It’s:
People usually don’t notice it immediately, but I can tell something is off.
I actually have a good hair type overall, so if I can improve density and health, I think my hairstyle options would get much better.
One thing that bothers me is my teeth.
My lower teeth are fine, but on the top:
It’s not huge, but it is noticeable when I talk, so I’d like advice on how to improve that if possible.
My lips are basically dry all the time and keep peeling.
That is one of the most annoying things for me visually, because it makes me look less healthy and less polished.
For skincare I’m using:
Right now I’m using:
I'm using them most for energy, libido and performance. I’m still pretty new to all this, so I’m open to hearing what is actually useful and what is probably just hype.
I’d really appreciate honest feedback on:
I’m not really looking for cope, just honest advice.

Hey guys
I’m pretty new to this whole looksmaxxing thing, so I decided to make a proper post and ask for honest feedback.
Quick background
I’m 21, from Brazil, 170 cm / 5'7 and 63 kg / 139 lbs.
I used to be Very very very skinny for most of my life, basically until around 19. Over the last few years I started eating more, so I put on some weight, but I still wouldn’t say I’m “big” by any means. I’m still fairly light overall — just not the super-skinny version of myself I used to be.
I started going to the gym 3 weeks ago and I’m trying to take this seriously now. My main goal is to improve my overall appearance as much as I can, especially my face.
Main goals
My biggest priority is definitely:
- losing facial fat / bloating
- getting a leaner face and sharper jaw area
- improving my hair
- fixing my dry lips
- improving my skin
- improving my smile/teeth
- building a better physique overall
Face / structure
From the automated analyzers I tried, my results were roughly around:
- PSL: ~5.3–5.8 / 8
- Harmony: ~6.3–7.4 / 10
- Golden Ratio / facial balance: ~6.5–7.1 / 10
My own impression is that my face has decent structure, but it looks better in some angles than others.
A few things I’ve noticed about myself:
- my profile seems better than my front view
- my chin / lower face seem decent, but not extremely sharp right now
- my jawline is not terrible, but it gets hidden when I gain a bit of fat or look bloated
- I think my face would improve a lot if I got leaner
So overall I feel like the main problem is not “bad bone structure,” but more like softness / bloating / lack of definition at the moment.
Hair
My hair is another thing I’m concerned about.
It’s:
- fine
- maybe a bit weak
- seems like it’s thinning
- I also noticed one area on the right side where it feels like hair is growing more slowly or maybe not filling in as well
- I also started noticing hair loss.
People usually don’t notice it immediately, but I can tell something is off.
I actually have a good hair type overall, so if I can improve density and health, I think my hairstyle options would get much better.
Teeth / smile
One thing that bothers me is my teeth.
My lower teeth are fine, but on the top:
- one tooth is slightly crooked
- my two front teeth have a small gap between them
It’s not huge, but it is noticeable when I talk, so I’d like advice on how to improve that if possible.
Lips
My lips are basically dry all the time and keep peeling.
That is one of the most annoying things for me visually, because it makes me look less healthy and less polished.
Skin / routine
For skincare I’m using:
- Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant
- Principia GL-02 cleanser
- Principia AH-2 serum
- ice roller / facial ice in the morning
- gua sha sometimes too (i don't know if This really Works tho)
Supplements I’m taking
Right now I’m using:
- Tadalafil 6 mg daily
- Black Maca 500 mg
- Yellow Maca 500 mg
- Ginseng
- Tribulus terrestris 500 mg
- L-arginine 500 mg
- Chelated zinc 50 mg
I'm using them most for energy, libido and performance. I’m still pretty new to all this, so I’m open to hearing what is actually useful and what is probably just hype.
What I want advice on
I’d really appreciate honest feedback on:
- what my biggest weaknesses are
- whether my face is more of a fat/bloating issue than a structure issue
- what has the highest ROI for me
- haircut recommendations for fine/thinning hair
- whether I should focus on cutting first or recomping
- anything I should do for lips / skin / teeth / hair
- what areas of my face would improve the most if I got leaner
- What works, and what you guys recomend
I’m not really looking for cope, just honest advice.
