So you have competed at your first showjunior usa's and now you want to know what you need to do to improve. How do you go about deciding what to change? Do you ask the judges for advice and how do you take that advice and use it to improve for your next show?

First I would recommend not asking your friends. 90% of your friends are going to tell you that you should have won and you looked perfect.

Botox

I often meet with a lot of resistance in men whenBotox it comes to the concept of having Botox injections. They will often say, “I don’t want to lose my facial expressions” or “I don’t like the idea of having a toxin in my body!” Yet when injected judiciously and expertly, Botox can end up relaxing and balancing faces that may be stuck in a permanent frown or scowl. In other words, the results should look natural instead of producing a “frozen” look which many people have come to associate with Botox...

You can also use a soft-bristle brush or washcloth to exfoliate dead skin cells.

Holding onto that Faux Bronzed Glow

So you’ve been spray tanned and your skin now resembles a piece of mahogany furniture. It’s time to get into the car or back to your hotel room and avoid contact with water lest you melt away like the Wicked Witch of the West.spraytanbooth

It can be quite a task remembering not to sweat, get wet or have any restroom mishaps. Below I have provided a general guide to preserve that impeccable color until contest time.

 

1. Make sure to wear LOOSE clothing without elastic or tight necklines. The general rule is to wear drawstring pants and button down shirts, preferably in a soft cotton flannel material.
