Show Skin; Don’t Show Skin…Look Sensuous Anyway

Want to look sensuous? The first thing that comes to our mind is to show skin. You begin searching for a shorter pair of shorts, a plunging neckline dress, or a teeny-weeny outfit that exposes each curve of your body. Well, all this is fine; but this does not mean that women who do not wish to show skin cannot look sensuous.

There is a raging debate about how women should dress. However, this is not about how women should dress. It is about women who wish to look ravishing while all covered up. It is possible.

Things you need to consider to look seductively beautiful without showing cleavage or legs or anything for that matter include: tasteful choice of clothes that flatter your body type, confidence, grace in walk, some style, and voila, you are a diva!

What’s ‘some style’, you may ask. It includes how you do your hair, your nails, lips, and eyes. It also includes your footwear and accessories.

Thumb rule for women who like to show skin

Showing skin can also be done with modesty. For example, you could show off your well-toned arms by wearing sleeveless blouse or dress. Keep the rest of the body covered. You could wear a halter top or off-shoulder dress to show off your shoulders. While doing this, avoid wearing mini skirts.

Showing off legs up to the thigh and shoulders and cleavage at the same time looks gaudy. It may even send the wrong signals.

Love to show off your legs? Team a mini with a blouse that covers your upper body well. Love to show your cleavage? Keep your lower part of the body covered. That’s how you go…all sensuous and stylish, yet modest and sophisticated.

What if you don’t want to show any skin?

Invest in an appropriate pair of jeans. Cigarette pants are great too. Get well-fit shirts and blouses. They flatter your curves in the best manner possible without showing skin.

Women who hate showing skin should be particular in choosing silhouettes that flatter their body shapes. Well-cut and well-fit clothes look terrific. They make you look classy and attractive despite covering you completely.

While you do not wish to attract through skin, you must work on your clothes, hair, and footwear to increase your attractive quotient. Unclean, greasy hair is a strict no. Wash them, condition them, and style them well. Love to keep them loose? They should be well-trimmed and shiny. A little effort towards combating split ends and frizz can give you tresses that become the center of attraction. Forget showing skin or not; long, clean, shiny hair, alone, have the power to draw admires like a magnet.

Heels = sensuous

Do we need to tell you to wear heels to get that sensuous grace in walk? Every woman in her fashion senses knows this!

Don’t want to dress up? Just pair your plain ensemble with high heels and voila, you are scorching hot! You can pair heels with every attire.

Ankle-length boots look sensuous with jeans, mini skirts, and shorts
Knee-length boots look hot with micro minnies, short shorts, and short dresses.
Wedges look great with long-length skirts, dresses with flowing silhouettes, and the Indian saree.
Kitten heels and pumps are great for office wear.
Stiletto heels look seductive with skirts, dresses, Indian saree, trousers, and almost everything – this is THE ‘seductive weapon’ of women among footwear.

The latest study in France reveals that high heels is THE most sensuous thing a woman can wear. Women with high heels are found to receive more attention than those with flats. According to psychologists, when women wear high heels they appear long-legged. They feel confident. Their gait changes to more sensuous.

You cannot walk just anyhow with high heels. You need to have the right posture and walk. This, naturally, adds to the oomph in you.

A behavioral scientist and professor at University of Brittany conducted an experiment. He asked a female volunteer to dress in a tight outfit and wear flats. She was then sent on the street to ask questions for a survey. It was found that she managed to attract just 40 per cent males. She then switched to high heels. The number of males she attracted doubled!

The scientist conducted the same experiment in a bar. He found that her volunteer attracted male attention every 14 minutes when in flats and every 7 minutes when in heels.

This is great news for women who don’t wish to show skin, yet wish to appear attractive. Wear anything, cover up your whole body, do whatever you like – but – wear heels. This marvelous footwear has this innate ability to transform a plain Jane into a diva. Blessed is the person who invented heels!

Make up

The way you make up your face tells a lot about you. Before you start painting your face, make sure you have clean skin. If you don’t, please work on it first. Makeup looks best on good, healthy skin. With strikingly beautiful skin, you need not show any more skin. Just your face would launch a thousand ships.

Experts suggest doing the following for one week. Please do not see a mirror for this week.

Drink up to 3 liters of water daily
Go without makeup
Drink warm water with a dash of lemon the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach
Banish all junk food
Eat whole fruits
Eat raw salads
Cut down on caffeine intake
Catch 7-8 hours of sound sleep every night
Do some exercise, especially those that let you bend forward to let more blood gush to your face
Take steam bath or get steam on the face for 15 minutes and then apply a suitable face pack, followed by moisturization

See yourselves in the mirror on the 8^th day. You will be stunned! Your skin has changed – it is glowing, cleaner, and healthier.

Experts advise to continue doing the above for the rest of your life and you will hardly suffer from bad skin. However, the degree of difference depends on skin condition, overall health, and age. Please take steam on face only weekly or fortnightly.

So, are you ready to celebrate the woman in you? Show skin or don’t show skin – it depends on you.
