How To Look Better Naked
Hot, even.
by The Candidly Team
First let’s get something out of the way. This is not an article about looking hot for other people. It’s about feeling hot when we look in the mirror. And however you feel hot, GREAT. And if you don’t need some dumb internet list to feel hot, EVEN BETTER. We are deeply envious. And also not quite as self-actualized as you are.
And so for everyone else who isn’t quite there yet, we have some superficial things to try to ratchet up your naked-hotness by about 56%. Try one. Try all. We personally utilize all of these secrets and hacks because when we feel hot naked, we act hot clothed, which makes us feel more like ourselves.
1. Naturium Bio-Lipid Restoring Body Lotion
We can all agree that flaky, dry, lizard skin isn’t hot, correct? We’re still shedding our winter coat, and our epidermis is desperate to be drenched in moisture. BUT! We truly and deeply hate body creams that are sticky or tacky or take a million years to absorb. But this entire line is magic—this lotion creates an instant and gorgeous gleam on the skin, soaks in immediately, and we actually love that it’s fragrance free so it doesn’t interfere with our perfume. Which is one of THESE almost always.
Price: $15
2. Coco & Eve sunny honey Ultimate Glow 2 Piece Kit
Who are we kidding—we feel 92% sexier when we’re kissed by the sun. However, we’re old enough to know the sun is also the reason for almost all of our aging. So we stay away. BUT we hate self tanners. They all stink. Literally. Or they’re orange. Or streaky. Or all three. However this one smells great, sinks in quickly, has a lovely true-tan color, and develops in about 2 hours. Use the glove. Trust us here.
Price: $41
3. Dumbbells
This is obvious. But maybe not. Don’t be scared of weights. They won’t make you bulky. They actually make you live longer. And they make your bones strong. But most important, they make you look gorgeously toned. Use THIS simple routine every night while you’re watching your comfort show (cough, Friends) and you will start to see definition in 6 weeks. Truly.
Price: $19
4. Creatine nbpure
Taking this supplement daily helps to build muscle. Muscle helps to burn calories at rest. Meaning, if you lift those heavy things above and take creatine daily, you’ll burn more calories overall and you will see a difference in how your body looks. This means a faster, more robust metabolism overall which is a godsend as we’re all cresting menopause.
Price: $35
5. Boie USA Antimicrobial Loop Body Scrubber
We use this silicone scrubber with THIS amazing (and cheap) body wash that’s incredible for KP, for the softest, smoothest skin of our natural lives. And smooth skin is sexy skin. Obvs.
Price: $10
6. Psyllium Husks
You know that belly pooch you see and hate when you stand in profile in front of the mirror? Some of that is just our organs and we have to deal. Some of it is indeed belly fat we can work on. But a LOT of it is bloat. We take psyllium husks every. single. day, and have glorious and constant poops, which is the cornerstone of non-bloated looking bellies.
Price: $19
7. Negative sieve racerback bra and Base High Thong in buff
We are not really lingerie people. Silk? Lace? Gross. It just feels like wearing a costume. But something chic and simple that’s designed for a woman’s body that looks gorgeous under clothes and when you take your clothes off? We have really gotten into this recently. And this brand is all we wear now. Clean lines. Chic colors. And everything just fits.
Price: $70 for the bra, $68 for the thong (3 pack)
