I wish I knew this when I was younger—how to look clean, polished, and put together without doing too much.
So today, I’m putting you onto the quickest things to always make you look clean, good, and aesthetic—even when you’re not doing a lot! Right now, I’m looking super clean, with no makeup on, but let me show you how I managed to look this good by doing the simplest things.
Tip 1: Nail Your Skincare Routine
The first thing I can tell you is to get your skincare routine down. And it doesn’t have to be anything crazy or expensive!
I still to this day use Dove soap on my face, and for moisturizer, I swear by Lubriderm. That’s it! The trick isn’t about using high-end products; it’s about consistency. Your skin is the foundation of the clean girl look, and as long as it’s clear and glowing, you’ll already look fresh and clean.
Also, remember this: at least one of these three things—your hair, your outfit, or your nails—have to be done at all times. If you really want to master that clean girl aesthetic (or, honestly, just look put-together), you need to make sure you’re always paying attention to one of these areas. Why? Because when you look clean, you get more respect, more opportunities, and people will treat you better, no matter the situation. Unfortunately, how you look does affect how you’re treated. So, let’s master it!
Tip 2: Find a Signature Hairstyle
Now, let’s talk hair. You don’t have to do anything crazy, but find a hairstyle that works for you and is super easy. Personally, I love wearing wigs, especially the cute headband-style ones. It’s my signature look. I always make sure the headband matches my outfit, and it instantly makes everything look so clean and put together.
The best part? I got a pack of 10 headbands on Amazon for like $5. It’s the most affordable way to make sure my hair is always looking neat and stylish without putting too much effort into it.
Tip 3: Accessories Are Your Best Friend
This one is super important: accessories, accessories, accessories! I can’t stress this enough. Adding earrings, a necklace, a belt, or even a bag will take your outfit from zero to 100 in an instant. You don’t need to go overboard, but simple accessories really elevate your look.
They make you appear more put-together, more stylish, and—honestly—more classic. You don’t have to spend a lot to achieve that. Just make sure your accessories are clean and timeless. You don’t have to splurge on fancy stuff; simplicity is key.
Tip 4: Don’t Sleep on Perfume
Smell matters! If you’re trying to look clean, you need to smell clean too. But you don’t need to spend a fortune on designer perfumes. I use Arab perfumes, and let me tell you, they work just as well as high-end perfumes! A lot of people sleep on these, thinking they’re not as good.
But let me put you on—I have a perfume called Latifah and Claire, and it’s a dupe for a $300 perfume. And let me tell you, it smells so good! I’ve had people stop me and ask what I’m wearing, and when I tell them, they’re shocked because they think it’s a high-end fragrance. So, don’t let anyone make you feel bad for using affordable perfumes. They smell just as good, and they’re a total game-changer!
Final Thoughts
So, that’s how I managed to achieve the clean girl look on a budget. It’s all about simple, affordable tricks: a skincare routine that works, a hairstyle that’s easy and cute, accessorizing to elevate your outfit, and using a budget-friendly perfume that smells amazing.
You don’t have to break the bank to look fresh, clean, and stylish. Trust me, once you get these little things down, you’ll feel like a whole new version of yourself—effortlessly chic and confident!
