"Look Better Naked\\n9 easy ways to look better *without* working out.\\nDid you find time to squeeze in an [ ab-flattening workout](/flat-abs-guide/flatter-abs-in-5-minutes-slideshow)? Then [\\\\#TreatYoSelf](http://www.pinterest.com/selfmagazine/treatyouself) to a soothing bath full of Epsom salts. Since the salts \\\"contain high levels of magnesium, [they] stimulate the lymphatic system to shed excess water weight,\\\" says [Joanna Vargas ](http://joannavargas.com/), celebrity facialist and founder of her eponymous salon and skincare line. A cup of salts should do the trick.\\n\\\"Exfoliation is the key to gorgeous skin: It allows other products to penetrate better while minimizing pores and brightening all over,\\\" says Vargas. Bonus? \\\"It also keeps fine lines at bay by increasing skin's collagen production, helping to increase skin's elasticity,\\\" leaving you with a fresh, clean and ready-to-be-treated bod. We're big fans of [ Ole Henriksen Rub n' Buff Salt Scrub](http://www.olehenriksen.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=40&amp;SEName=rub-n-buff-salt-scrub), which is mixed with soothing lavender oil and lemongrass so it won't irritate sensitive skin.\\nGet snuggly, footsie-ready toes with this new peel from [Baby Foot](http://www.babyfootusa.com/). While you'll need to wait a few days to see results, the treatment works wonders on winter-ravaged feet: skin literally peels off in sheets \u2014 like a snake. While the process is kind of gross, it's totally worth the end results: newborn tootsies.\\nFor fit, hydrated skin, use a moisturizer infused with caffeine, which helps to temporarily tighten super dried-out skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. \\\"Caffeine is a stimulant, so it speeds cellular activity,\\\" Vargas explains. Pick up a tube of [ Nip + Fab Body Slim Fix](http://www.gnc.com/NIP-FAB-Body-Slim-Fix-with-Green-Coffee/product.jsp?productId=23553516), which packs in ultra-moisturizing shea butter, along with caffeine extract for a space-saving, [two-in-one](/beauty/2013/12/pretty-post-workout-two-timing-products-slideshow) product.\\nThere's always chatter about what to do with your \\\"down there\\\" hair, but Noemi Grupenmager, CEO and founder of [Uni K Wax](http://www.unikwax.com/), says that Brazilian bikini waxes still tops the company's request list. Also popular right now? According to Grupenmager; The buttock strip (TMI, we know!).\\nA faux tan will make your body \\\"look slimmer, firmer, and more defined,\\\" says Sophie Evans, a [St. Tropez Tan](http://www.sttropeztan.com/tanning-gurus/sophie-evans) Skin Finishing Expert. But make sure you apply your tan two nights before you plan on stripping down. When you sleep with self-tanner on, \\\"your body temperature heats up and opens the pores, allowing the tan to really absorb,\\\" she says. Try [St. Tropez Self Tan Sensitive Bronzing Mousse](http://www.sephora.com/self-tan-sensitive-bronzing-mousse-P381012), which won't irritate dry, itchy winter skin. \\\"Spray shins to ankles, inner thighs, outer thighs and underneath your butt for lift and the sides of your butt to slim and conceal cellulite,\\\" Evans adds. Take it even further by spritzing the sides of your torso, in between your breasts, the tops of your arms and shoulders for a seriously toned appearance.\\n[Rodney Cutler](http://cutlersalon.com/), a stylist and salon owner in New York City, suggests trying a \\\"side part to soften your look, it will add a bit more drama and sexiness,\\\" (with almost no effort). Use mousse on damp hair, such as [Alterna Hair Care Caviar Anti-Aging Amplifying Mousse](http://shop.alternahaircare.com/caviar/amplifying-mousse/), to add movement and body without stiffness or stickiness, then elongate your frame by pulling hair back and away from your face. \\\"Creating a look where the hair is pulled back behind the jawline makes a women look lean and effortless,\\\" Cutler says. Add the perception of even more height by teasing a few pieces of hair near crown before pinning up or pulling back.\\nYour makeup should be natural \u2014 no crazy blue eyeshadow or red lipstick, please. Makeup artist Anita Sun of [Eliut Salon](http://www.eliutsalon.com/) suggests just \\\"a little bronzer, mascara and lip stain to emphasize your features without going overboard.\\\" If you want to amp up your eyes, try playing with individual false lashes or adding a double coat of lengthening mascara. \\\"We're huge fans of [Benefit They're Real](http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/theyre-real),\\\" which gives your peepers serious pop.\\nShow off your hard-earned bod in a low-lit, (aka super-flattering) ambient setting. California-based interior designer [ Nicole Sassaman](http://www.nicolesassaman.com/HOME.html) suggests playing with your dimmer switch. \\\"A dimmer setting showcases a soft silhouette of the body rather than reveal any (or every) imperfection,\\\" She explains. Don't have tricked-out lighting? Candles will provide the same effect (and might even offer better ambiance)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
