Hey everyone, I'm 18 and kind of new to looksmaxxing.

I've seen it going around for a while now and have sort of began looksmaxxing too I guess?

I mew consistently. I've been trying to force my self to sleep on my back instead of my face to improve asymmetry. I do skincare and gua sha although I haven't really been consistent with both. My diet is not the greatest but I am trying to improve it. I eat avocados regularly, chia seeds, greek yoghurt, chicken, eggs. I stopped having coffee and tea with sugar a while ago, but I slip up occasionally and eat desserts. I hardly eat rice and switched to quinoa. I drink almond milk only. But I don't think I have enough protein in my diet. I usually get in less than 30 g of protein per day. I don't think I have enough variety in my diet tbh. I've been trying to lose weight for a while now and probably not healthily, but I really don't care about the method. As long as I'm losing. I'll start maintaining when I get to my goal weight, and higher my caloric intake. My hair has been thinning and I think it's because of my diet, so I bought a lot of supplements like vitamin b12, omega 3, zinc, magnesium, high strength biotin, iron + vitamin c, and collagen powder.

I'll start hardmaxxing when I have enough money. I'll get Invisalign to fix my overbite and fix my hairline, because they are 2 things I've been really insecure about. And maybe a nose job, idk. I have a lower nose bridge compared to all my other family members. And It's so frustrating because it looks average from the front but ruins my side profile. I cut my hair a while ago and currently growing it out, so when it grows back long enough, and healthy enough, I want to go a medium brown, like this for example:

Should I focus on other stuff? Be completely honest. Besides the plastic surgery which I'll do in the future, what should I focus on now? I still breakout a lot, so what should I do that for that? I'm currently using a Korean cleanser, a bha lotion exfoliant and moisturiser so I really don't know. What should I add to my diet? I don't like red meat or chicken tbh but if it's what I need, then I can do it. Anything to look better. I want to be the best I can be. I need full honesty!!!

It’s pretty easy to sleep on your back; once you get used to it, I used to sleep on my face and side. Try sleeping with two pillows. Sleeping on your back is really good for your teeth and relaxes your jaw while you sleep.

That's pretty smart. I was considering buying an ergonomic pillow, but I'll try this first!!

Leave while you still can.
 
Sleeping on your back can be tricky since it can cause blockages in your airway and make you snore. If asymmetry is a concern just switch sides each night. Mewing is good but your 18 so your face is fully developed, now you just do it for proper tongue posture. Gua sha is not as good for facial definition as the internet will tell you, your diet and water consumption plays a bigger role. To help with a consistent skincare routine just keep it super simple and clean. For daytime, gentle cleanser, brightening serum for potential dark spots on face or undereyes, moisturizer and sunscreen. For night time, double cleanse, chemical exfoliater once weekly then as needed, a retinoid (dosage depends on strength), hyaluronic acid serum then moisturizer. For diet don't focus on specific food and just work on eating as little highly/ultra processed food as possible. Whole foods are best, stay away from artifical food colorings/dyes, added sugar, excess sodium etc. You can have tons of variety and get your protein in this way. desserts are also fine, I would reccommend making them yourself so you know exactly whats in it, you can make healthy sweet treats that are also nutritionally dense. I would avoid taking too many vitamins, your hair might be thinning because you aren't eating enough healthy fats. Your hair also might be thinning because your calorie deficit is too high. Rapid weight loss can cause hair loss, fatique, brain fog, loose skin, etc. Slow steady weight loss is best and you'll have a higher chance to exactly keep it off. Biotin, collagen, and vitamin d should be the only vitamins you should be taking. Anything else is better absorbed thru food. Highly reccommend invisalign, I'm going to get it once I'm in a better financial situaion. Best of luck with your journey!

Thank you so so much. This is so helpful. Unfortunately my deficit is very high because I have an ed, and it's probably why my hair is thinning. But once I get to my gw I'll increase my intake and start maintaining. And yes I'll definitely be getting Invisalign in the future!!
