So far this week we’ve covered some of the best foods, exercises, as well as mind hacks (part 3) to help you look and feel your best when “in the nude”. Today I wanted to cover some of the best products on the market that will help you look your best when it’s you minus your clothes.

We’re going to seperate the male and female products for useablity sake.

Part 4
“Naked Products”

For Men

To Tame Your Gut:

Product: Green Tea Extract
Why?: My recommendation for this ones stems from the fact that I can’t stand “Green Tea” in its “Tea” form. Taking it in a supplement form is a good way to get the “fat burning” benefit of green tea without having to actually drink the stuff.
Where to Get it: Nature’s Bounty Green Tea Extract

To Save Your Skin:

Product: Body Lotion (For Guys)
Why?: Lotion isn’t just for the ladies these days. Unless you want to end up looking like an old football when your sixty, you better start taking better care of you skin. If you think that your the only guy in your circle that’s using lotion for area other that the face…you better think again.
Where to Get it: Nivea For Men Revitalizing Body Lotion

To Make Grooming Easier:

Product: Back Hair Groomer
Why?: You’ve probably heard about the “Man Groomer” on TV or on the Radio. If you haven’t then you need to check it out now. This product pretty much takes all the hard work out of grooming those hard to reach places. This is one of those products that is an absolute must for any guy that has to deal with back hair.
Where to Get it: MANGROOMER Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver

To Feed Your Body:

Product: Multi-Vitamin
Why?: You can’t expect the outside of your body to look good if the inside isn’t working right. For the inside to work correctly, you have to make sure that you give it the tools to do the job. Make sure to check out part 1 or this series for more on that, but even if you don’t, a multi-vitamin is a good idea (it’s always good to consult your physician before starting on a supplement program). You’ll pay a little more for our recommended product below…but its the best on the market.
Where to Get it: Vitalize Multi-Vitamin

For Women

To Get a Glow:

Product: Sunless Tanner
Why?: We just hit November, which means that it’s time to give your body a break from the sun’s rays. During the winter, instead of continuing the stress on your skin with tanning beds, you can still get a good “faux glow” with some great sunless tanning products. Check out our list below.
The Sunless Tanning List:

• For Dry Skin: Clarins Delicious Self-Tanning Cream (Why?)
• For Your Face: Sephora Decleor Face w/ SPF 10 (Why?)
• For Fair Skin: Dove Energy Glow Fair Skin (Why?)
• For that “Now” Tan: Jergens Natural Glow Express (Why?)
• For Something Different: Neutrogena Sunless Foam (Why?)

To Treat Your Feet:

Product: Rough Skin Remover/Exfoliation
Why?: There are areas of your skin that are easy to take care of and then there are areas that seem to take a beating no matter what you do. Make sure that you treat the “rough and tumble” areas a little more aggressively than you do the others. We recommend using an exfoliate designed for the rough areas (like your feet).
Where to Get it: Foot Scrub Peppermint (Made by “Kiss My Face”)

To Feed Your Body:

Product: Multi-Vitamin
Why?: You can’t expect the outside of your body to look good if the inside isn’t working right. For the inside to work correctly, you have to make sure that you give it the tools to do the job. Make sure to check out part 1 or this series for more on that, but even if you don’t, a multi-vitamin is a good idea (it’s always good to consult your physician before starting on a supplement program). You’ll pay a little more for our recommended product below…but its the best on the market. (This is the Female Multivitamin Formula. See the Male Formula above)
Where to Get it: -Women’s Formula- -Senior Women’s Formula- (Consult a Doctor When Taking A New Supplement)

The "Look Better Naked" Guide (Part 4) is a post from: DrBenAdkins.com - Serial Progress Seeker

Today, we continue with part 3 of our 4 part series of how to look (and feel) better naked. Today we’re going to primarily focus on the “feel” part of the equation.

The mere fact that you feel confident in your “nakedness” is huge. When you are more confident with your “naked” self, it will translate to whoever sees you. Confidence is a huge part of the “Look Better Naked” equation.

Without further delay, here is part 3 of the “Look Better Naked Guide”

Part 3
“The Naked Mindset”

1) Your Own Worst Critic

Understand that, unless you are a huge celebrity (Britney Spears, Brad Pitt, etc.), that you will always be more critical of yourself than anyone else. We all judge ourselves way more harshly than the outside world and that applies to how we view our body as well.

The best thing you can do is realize that everyone has inperfections and that, a great deal of the time, something that you percieve to be a flaw will not be percieved that way by someone else. Most of the time our “flaws” are only “flaws” to us and go completely unnoticed to others.

A great way to combat your insecurities is to think about someone who is “ok” with theirs. For example, I’m sure that there were plenty of times that Cindy Crawford had insecurities about her, now trademark, mole. The great thing about Cindy is that she embraced what everyone else percieved as a flaw. It’s a “mind-hack” that you have to do on yourself…but it’s effective.

2) Hit the Gym

It doesn’t matter if your exercise routine ever results in you losing a pound, the mere act of “working out” will do wonders for how you feel (and in turn how you feel about yourself). Having a workout routine and following through with it is empowering. When you accomplish something and build confidence, you do wonders for your overall state of mind.

Couple that new found confidence with the body sculping tips from Part 2 of the “Look Better Naked” Guide and you can be sure that your going to be feeling completely different about going naked very soon.

In Short, don’t ignore the mental effects of working out.

3) Nudity isn’t just a Bed/Bathroom Sport

You want to know one of the quickest ways to start feeling more comfortable in your own skin?

Get out of your comfort zone!!! Don’t reserve nudity for just the shower or bedroom. The next time that you’re alone at home, take advantage and spend a few hours doing everything naked (except cooking hot foods that spatter…might not be a good idea).

The key to feeling good naked is to practice! I’m not saying that you need to do anything to get yourself in trouble. I’m saying that practice will make you more confident.

A great example of this that most people can relate to is public speaking. I had no trouble talking in front of friends, but for a long time public speaking scared the crap out of me. Why? Because I hadn’t exposed myself to different situations that gave me practice in “public speaking”. I started talking in small groups more and eventually worked up to big groups. It isn’t hard when you know the “small steps” to get there. Its the “giant leaps” that are tough.

If your insecure about being naked with someone else, maybe you need to go outside of your comfort zone when your alone. Give it a shot… But make sure to close the shades

If you only take one thing away from part 3 of the “Look Better Naked” Guide, I want you to understand this:

“Half the battle to “looking great” is in your head.”

What you do to gain that “confidence” is where the work starts. I would love to hear what you think!
