Some women go to great lengths to look a certain way, while others just toss on some lip gloss and call it a day. Beauty routines are highly personalized and can vary depending on income, geographic location, employment and personal preference. Your routine may contain all or none of these practices.

Body Hair Removal
Body hair removal is considered a beauty treatment for some women and basic hygiene for others. There are a few types of hair to remove and a variety of ways to remove it. Some women pluck their eyebrows and shave their legs and underarms. Others wax away leg, underarm, chin, lip, brow or even pubic hair. For permanent hair removal, the FDA has approved electrolysis. Laser hair removal also offers long-lasting results.
Beauty Treatments
Spas and beauty treatment centers offer facials, skin rejuvenation, manicures and pedicures. Some spa beauty treatments, like chemical peels, are a step down from plastic surgery, but others are mild, like skin cleansing, softening and mud treatments and exfoliating scrubs.
Wardrobe
For some women, clothes are intimately tied to their beauty. Different hair or makeup looks accompany different outfits and change, depending on the time of day or occasion. Some women shop for clothes that fit and feel comfortable, while others shop for the top designer brands as a way to participate in the glamorous world of fashion.

Weight Loss
Unfortunately, weight and body size play a big role in what the culture considers to be beautiful. Many women — even women who aren’t overweight or obese — spend a good deal of their lives dieting or trying to lose weight to achieve this ideal, sometimes unattainable form beauty.
