1. Use a mud mask to keep your skin looking fresh, but remember to remove the mud before leaving the house. You should also remember to remove any teeth whitening strips, acne pads, crumbs left over from meals, or barnacles from various deep-sea excursions that you may have forgotten about.
  2. Constantly ask people if they think you’re pretty. The validation from their compliments will give you a confident, glowing complexion.
  3. Cry often. Tears are a natural exfoliant.
  4. Exercise. Get a little sweaty. Men will definitely hit on you at the gym. They can even point you towards the ellipticals if you get lost in the weight lifting section.
  5. Avoid being mauled by a mountain lion.
  6. Be Emma Watson. Or Emma Stone. Or Emma Roberts.
  7. Paint your nails a bright color. It will draw attention away from your hideous face.
  8. Lie and say you’re not wearing makeup when you actually are. Then everyone will think you’re beautiful without makeup.
