10 Ways to Look Better Naked

Turn On the Lights
We know that trick: Clothes come off, lights go out. But according to L.A. interior designers Ron Woodson and Jaime Rummerfield, there's a more exciting alternative to getting frisky in the dark. "Amber light casts skin in a warm, rosy glow," says Woodson, who suggests placing a red-hued bulb in bedside lamps and painting your ceiling a barely there shade of peach or pink to enhance the effect.

Embrace Nudes

Come-hither eyes, flushed cheeks, and a ripe, sensual mouth are the perfect complements to your birthday suit, says makeup artist Mally Roncal. She suggests a palette of spiced-up neutrals-peach lipstick, taupe shadows—that mimic your natural skin tone.

Hide Your Stripes

There's no way to erase stretch marks completely, but there are tricks to make them less noticeable. Ask your doctor about prescription-strength retinoid cream to thicken skin or, for a quick fix, use a self-tanner to hide the lines.

Relax and Beat the Bloat!

Most cleanses sound like a recipe for misery (cayenne pepper and lemon juice, anyone?). This detox is more our speed. Simply pour the woodsy-smelling salts into a bath and soak for 30 minutes. We shed 3 inches of water weight and felt thinner for about 48 hours.

No time for a waxing appointment? Cindy Barshop, owner of Completely Bare spas, offers this at-home technique: Use a bikini trimmer (it's safer than scissors) to crop hair, then apply a depilatory cream like Completely Bare Citrus Hair Remover Creme ($38; completelybare.com) to remove new growth-it's a better option than razors, especially if you are prone to ingrowns.

Loosen Up

When it comes to bedhead, there's a fine line between kempt and unkempt. "You want waves that look rumpled and sexy, not like you've literally rolled out of bed," says celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson. To create body and movement, rock a casual French twist during the day-gather hair in a low pony-tail, twirl the tail up, secure with pins, and mist with a light-hold spray-then shake it out for just the right amount of disheveled elegance.

Get Perky

Haven't had time for regular workouts? Fear not, says David Kirsch, Heidi Klum's trainer. To quickly—albeit temporarily-tighten your jiggly areas before a big date, he suggests a mini circuit. "Five minutes before you get in the shower, do 10 squats, 10 sumo lunges, and 10 push-ups. You'll feel firmer and more confident, and stand taller."

Hide and Treat

To camouflage body blemishes, Mally Roncal applies a cream concealer and sets it with translucent powder. Speed up the healing of mild bruises by using an arnica cream, says N.Y.C. dermatologist Francesca Fusco.

Leave a Trail

It's no secret that the small of a woman's back is a very sexy region of the body, so draw attention to that sultry curve with eye-catching jewels. Wear a slinky lariat chain softly looped so that it tumbles down your spine.

Slough it Off

A recent study conducted by Olay found that smooth, supple body skin can actually increase the perception of youth. Reach for a long-handle brush and a body wash with glycolic acid (try Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging body wash, $22; peterthomasroth.com) to remove dead skin and keep yourself radiant from the neck down.
