Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to Make Your Smile More Attractive

1. 1 Practice regularly. Practicing smiling in front of a mirror will make it easier over time and your smile will not appear tense. Train your most attractive smile, and it will start to come out more naturally for you.
   • Look at the pictures where you smile differently. Think about which smile you like best and reproduce it in front of the mirror. When you are good at it, continue to practice without a mirror.
   • Practice smiling at random strangers. Just make brief eye contact with the person and smile. At the same time, think about the good. Not everyone will smile back at you, but if they do, notice how you feel.
2. 2 Smile with your eyes. When you smile sincerely, your eyes also smile. This smile is called the Duchenne smile and is not easy to imitate. When you practice smiling, try to keep your eyes engaged too - this is the only way to create a genuine, warm smile.
   • To get a feel for what it means to smile with your eyes, stand in front of a mirror and smile, but focus only on your eyes. It may be helpful to cover the lower part of your face with a piece of paper.
   • When you see your eyes smiling, remember that sensation, including which muscles are being used and how. Over time, you will be able to smile with your eyes whenever you want, relying on sensations and muscle memory.
3. 3 Maintain oral hygiene. You may be reluctant to smile because you are not sure about the condition of your teeth or the freshness of your breath. In order not to worry about this, take care to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
   • Brush your teeth and tongue regularly, always have dental floss with you so you can brush your teeth after a meal, as well as a breath freshener.
   • Visit your dentist regularly for routine check-ups and cleaning your teeth. Also talk to him about possible straightening of your teeth or other problems if they bother you.
   • If your teeth have darkened, think about the habits that cause it (smoking, drinking red wine, coffee, carbonated drinks) and try to keep them to a minimum. Also ask your dentist for a whitening procedure if it will boost your confidence.
   • Deal with the problem of bad breath. Typically, regular brushing and breath fresheners are sufficient for this. However, if these basic measures do not help, it may be due to some medical condition, so seek the advice of your doctor.

Method 2 of 3: How to smile at the right time

1. 1 Smile sincerely. While it is possible to squeeze a smile out of yourself when you are in a bad mood, people may be wary of you when they see that the smile is fake. Try to smile with a pure heart.
   • To keep your smile genuine, don't smile if you don't feel like it. Otherwise, people will get the impression that you cannot be trusted.
   • Remember the feeling that arises when you smile from the heart. Try to recreate this feeling every time you smile.
   • Even if you're not in the best mood, think of something nice before you smile. This often helps to make the smile genuine.
2. 2 Smile when you feel good. When you are happy and positive, a genuine smile comes naturally. Be glad that the person you are talking to is doing well, that someone has made a funny joke, or that a delicious lunch awaits you.
   • Even if you're not having fun, you can still find a reason to smile. Think about the good things happening in your life, and it will be easier for you to smile.
   • When you are faced with a person or situation that causes you conflicting feelings, and you do not know whether to smile, lean towards a positive decision - think about what is good in this person or situation, and smile with this thought.
3. 3 Smile with love. Think about the person you care about, such as who is right in front of you, or what you really enjoy doing. A natural, casual smile will come out much easier when you think about who or what you love.
4. 4 Smile when you have playful mood. When you are having fun or having fun, smiling is always easier. See life as an adventure and let your inner child play with sports, games, and other activities. Playfulness will bring a smile much easier.
   • When playing a game or playing sports with friends or family, don't get too carried away with the competition. Remember that you are enjoying your time and it will be easier for you to smile.

Method 3 of 3: How to Make Smiling Part of Your Daily Life

1. 1 Smile when you don't normally smile. Try to smile in situations where you don't normally smile. For example, smile at the driver when boarding the bus in the morning, even if you don't get enough sleep. Smiling attracts attention in a good way and helps make the world around you more positive.
   • Don't assume that smiling at work will make you look unprofessional. In fact, smiling will show that you are a person, not just an employee, and let people know that you can be contacted. As a result, your communication with colleagues will become more effective.
   • Smiling makes you more "real". You may feel that it makes you more vulnerable, but it actually means that you become more open to people, which will help you develop stronger bonds with them.
2. 2 Be prepared to find it difficult to smile in some situations. Whether you're posing for a photo or trying to look friendly in front of relatives you hate to avoid upsetting your mom, smiling “on demand” can be tricky. This is usually because you have no real reason to be happy. In these situations, try to think about what made you smile before and focus on the smile technique you were working on.
   • For a photo, smile a little harder than you think is sufficient. This will help you achieve the most photogenic smile possible.
   • If you prefer to smile with your mouth closed, try pressing your tongue against the palate. This will help tighten the muscles in your face and neck for a more natural smile.
3. 3 Take advantage of the many benefits of smiling. To motivate yourself to smile, it's helpful to understand the benefits of smiling. You will smile more often if you know how it affects how you feel and how you interact with others.
   • Smiling makes you look more attractive.A smiling person usually looks more attractive than someone who is frowning, sulking, or whose face is blank.
   • A smile is often more eloquent than words. If you've offended someone, made a mistake, or are just in a bad mood, smiling will show people that you are sorry and want to improve.
   • Smiling builds trust and understanding. This is an easy way to make people feel comfortable around you so that you can connect and communicate more easily.
   • Smiling can cheer you up. Even if you're not having too much fun, focus on happy thoughts and allow yourself to smile. This can lead to the release of endorphins, which are responsible for improving mood.
   • Smiling can also lift the mood of the people around you. A wide smile is visible from afar, and almost everyone you meet on your way can feel a little better thanks to it.

Tips

• When taking photos, do not look directly into the camera! Look slightly away from her so that you don't appear to be staring in the photo.
• If you are unhappy with your teeth, smile with your mouth closed. Such a smile can be no less attractive and inviting.
• Smiling is a great defense mechanism. If someone tries to hurt you, smile so that their efforts are wasted.
• When you meet someone, greet them with a smile. This will start your acquaintance on the right note.
• When you are taking a photo, your smile can look more natural if you laugh or giggle.
• Opportunities to smile are found at every turn. Use them.
• If you smile at a stranger, chances are that he will be happy - and
