Transcripts
put simply looks maxing is the idea of
maxing out your looks in every way
possible it's like making a character in
a video game and trying to use as many
points as you can in upping the looks
bar stat but real life is different in
that some people will start with most of
the bar already filled up these are the
genetically gifted and others will only
have a little bit filled up and will
need to grind out and farm more points
to get to that same level level one
think of step one as level one mostly
because I'm a nerd and it's easier to
explain things in video game analogies
you're not going to get past this level
unless you meet the required criteria
this is building a strong foundation so
let's begin number one start a skincare
routine get a cleanser moisturizer and
sunscreen keep it simple the brands we
recommend are all dermatologists
recommended and fits all price budgets
these are CeraVe Cetaphil La Roche Posay

you don't have time to cook or hate
cooking get a slow cooker it's the best
investment you'll make for your health
number three get plenty of sleep limit
your blue light exposure an hour before
bed get seven to eight hours of sleep at
night not all eight hours are the same
sleeping at 4am and waking up
mid-afternoon might technically be eight
hours but it's not nearly as refreshing
sleep at an appropriate time number four
start a workout routine I recommend
going to the gym three to five days a
week and doing either an upper lower or
a push pull like split check out our
video on how to build an aesthetic
physique number five do cardio don't
listen to people that say cardio is
useless it has incredible effects for
circulation which makes you look a lot
better and keeps you lean you don't need
to go crazy 30 minutes on the treadmill
at a 12 incline and 3 miles per hour is
an amazing cardio workout do this a
couple of times a week number six keep
hydrated buy a giant water bottle and
track of your water intake until it
becomes second nature to always stay
hydrated number seven keep your teeth
clean floss every single day I recommend
getting a water flosser they're super
useful by a high quality electric
toothbrush use a tongue scraper to
always keep your breath fresh and use
whitening strips to keep your teeth
white next two are optional six start
taking a vitamin D supplement almost all
of us are deficient especially if you
have darker skin get the ones with the
dropper that goes under your tongue it
absorbs better 7. start taking a
collagen supplement overall it just has
a ton of benefits from skin to hair to
muscle and joint recovery if you have
all of these completed or at the very
least have started doing them you can

horse build a strong Foundation first
level two welcome to level two hopefully

kick start your looks maximum journey in
this step we're not going to add
anything crazy but we do want to improve
what you already have the easy easiest
way to do this is to start from top to
bottom the top of course being your hair
do you have nice hair is it fluffy
smooth and conditioned if not it's time
to hair Max number one start a hair
routine grab a non-stripping gentle
shampoo and learn to shampoo properly
most guys have no idea how to do this
next grab a nourishing conditioner and
learn how to use that too the
conditioner should only go on the middle
and ends of your hair never the skill an
extra tip is to add a bit of rosemary
oil to your shampoo which can help with
thickening your hair keeping it healthy
and nourishing your scalp number two is
keeping your scalp healthy keep your
scalp healthy and clean by exfoliating
it with a scalp brush if you have
dandruff use a shampoo like Nizoral and
remember to know the difference between
a dry scalp and dandruff it is not the
same thing and they both require
different treatments number three if
you're balding either shave or get on
treatment minoxidil finasteride and
micro needling are the current remedies
for hair loss that really are
scientifically back to work number four
find a nice haircut this requires some
experimenting ask your Barber what kind
of hairstyle would work for you for hair
styling products use either a
lightweight Pomade to style your hair or
use a sea salt spray if you want to get
a beachy messy look so now hopefully
you've gotten your hair fixed up nicely
or as best as you can you have a
consistent hair routine and you found a
nice hairstyle that matches your face
let's move on to facial hair and
eyebrows fix your eyebrows for most men
this just means cleaning around your
eyebrows and in the middle but keeping
it a nice natural and masculine shape
never go too thin eyebrows though are
pretty individual some guys look good
with unruly eyebrows and others look
terrible if you have patchy facial hair
the only cure really is to get a Derma
roller and minoxidil to beard Max
otherwise clean shave at all times next
check out our video on facial hair
Aesthetics to find an appropriate facial
hairstyle for you level three this next
level is facial Aesthetics Maxi let's
get right to it just as a note I
provided everything little product I
personally use for looks maxing below
number one improve your complexion with
the natural tan from the inside this
means eating plenty of veggies with
beta-carotene in it or taking a
supplement this gives you a nice
attractive glow number two is mirroring
this is a long-term practice that could
possibly improve your jawline number
three clear lips always keep your lips
clear use Aquaphor or Vaseline before
you go to bed and wash away the dead
skin from your lips in the morning
number four is use an under eye mask
this will keep your under eyes looking
tighter less puffy and more energized
they are super cheap and pretty relaxing
to use number five Gua Sha agua sha is a
tool used for facial massage which can
help to reduce the appearance of
wrinkles and Fine Lines it works by
manually stimulating your skin in order
to help your skin produce more collagen
it helps reduce the appearance of
puffiness and inflammation which is
amazing if you have puffy under eyes it
also helps the circulation in your face
which reduces dark circles overall an
amazing tool to add to your routine and
also pretty relaxing to use by this
point you should have a great base to
work with your physique is on point or
in the process of getting there your
hair is looking good and your face is
nice clean and clear now it's time to
fashion bags this means finding a style
that is unique and suits you and makes
you stand out find the style you like we
have a ton of videos on different styles
whether it's something minimal or old
money or more edgy find what you like
and start moving in that direction with
your wardrobe if you've gotten past all
these levels you've done a ton to
maximize your looks and more importantly
you've done it working with what you
already have if you want a full
checklist to our looks vaccine guide
I've linked our article below one last
thing I want to mention is something
that is never ever mentioned in most
looks maxing or how to look better
videos and that's the role that chronic
stress plays in our day-to-day lives and
the effects it has on our appearance you
can do every look maxing technique out
there and you can still falter and glow
down if you have a lot of chronic stress
in your life that's because chronic
stress directly affects our hormones it
literally causes us to both physically
and mentally change physically it'll sag
your skin and make your face droopy and
it'll make it a lot harder to gain
muscle mentally it will take away that
motivation you need to get through a
hard workout or to eat healthier or to
do any of the things that we mentioned
that's why if you're going through
chronic stress whether it's from your
job or life situation that should be
your number one Focus before you start
doing anything for looks maxing having a
good mentality in a stress-free life
will do more for your Aesthetics and
looks than any of the things that we've
mentioned here you're still unhappy with
the results the only thing you can do is
hard Max which is going the route of
surgeries to alleviate things about
yourself that you don't like in my
opinion there is nothing wrong with this
and you should never feel judged for
going this route not all of us were born
genetically gifted and I'm a firm
believer that if you want to change
something about yourself and you've
thought long and hard about it and given
yourself enough time to ruminate and you
still feel like you want to do it then
you should do it all the best on your
looks maximum Journey
