    The number one key for feeling confident anywhere and especially at a pool party is wearing something that's authentically you. So if you feel comfortable rocking your two-piece bikini, wear that because your confidence is going to shine through and whatever is most authentic to you.

    Apply it anywhere that the sun would hit naturally, like on your forehead and cheeks. I personally like for a more natural look to use it on the bridge of your nose.

    I have to impress my crush. I wear glasses and I look good when I have glasses on, but not when I take them off. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    If it's a pool party, get yourself some cool sunglasses! Also, I suspect you look just fine without glasses; you just aren't used to seeing yourself without them.
  • Question
    How can I get more toned in one week?
    Community Answer
    Do 100 consecutive reps of any exercise that would impact the part of your body you want toned. Do this every day for the week you have, multiple times a day if you have the time and stamina. Eat lots of vegetables, but be sure not to forget protein. Have fun, and be confident as you are! Your body shaped is not as important as your happiness.
  • Question
    What should I do if I have some mosquito bites?
    Community Answer
    If they're in noticeable locations, like your face, you could use concealer. Of course, the concealer would probably come off in the pool, so bring the container along to re-apply.

  • Question
    What if I have warts or zits?
    Community Answer
    For zits, a green and skin-colored concealer should do the trick. For warts there are many creams and ointments you can try, or just cover it with a band-aid, or just don't worry about it. Everyone has imperfections, there's no reason to feel insecure.

    What if I want to impress my BFF?
    Community Answer
    They are your best friend, they are probably already impressed with you! Just be yourself and you'll be fine.
  • Question
    What should I do if I have warts?
    Community Answer
    Don't worry about them! If you're self-conscious and want to cover them up immediately, you could use band-aids, but I wouldn't focus too much on them. If you want a more permanent, long-term solution, you could see your doctor about having the warts removed.

    A sleeveless dress in a lightweight material would make a perfect cover up by the pool. It is ideal for a party because it is casual and respectful over swimwear while walking around the party zone.

    What if my hair does not look good when wet but my crush will be there?
    Otterly Badgerific
    Top Answerer
    It's likely that your hair does look good but you can't see that the way others do. Still, it can help to tame flyaways and messy hair by braiding - mini braids, standard braids or other types of braids can help keep hair looking smooth and tidy. Another option is to throw a towel on your head, go to the changerooms and fix it up, then return looking tided.

    How can I do this when I am really hairy and my mom won't let me shave?

    Community Answer
    Body hair is beautiful and normal. Don't be ashamed of it or insecure about showing it off. If you still feel that way, then you could try hair removing creams that will work with your skin type to get rid of it or try hiding it by wearing a dress underneath your swimsuit or something similar.
