7 Must-Try Female Preparation Habits for Every Crossdresser

As crossdressers, ensuring that we look as feminine as possible with our flawless faces and bodies is definitely a must!

Self-care is a way to enhance our physical attractiveness, which also helps boost our self-confidence.

When we look good, our moods also instantly become better!

With this, let me share essential grooming habits you should never forget to maintain your beauty as crossdressers!

I’ll talk about tips in body, facial, and oral care and other grooming hacks to ensure your bodies are regularly cleaned and maintained.

Please read this blog and discover how easy it is to take care of yourself the feminine way!

1. Hand and Foot Care

It can be a tedious process, but regularly maintaining our hands and feet are essential habits we must not skip.

◆ Hands

Our hands are one of the first things people see when we go out, and they say a lot about how we take care of ourselves.

Generally, our hands are larger and rougher than women’s, so we must certainly know how to take care of them while keeping them feminine and feeling smooth.

My piece of advice: Apply a good hand cream every day several times to prevent your hands from becoming rough!

I love how the cream feels on my hands after rubbing them.

Additionally, book a manicure service every two weeks to cut, file, and clean your fingernails.

Women love experimenting with different nail polish colors, and we should make them too to match our crossdressing outfits!

Finding the Best Hand Cream

Good hand cream should maintain the smoothness and elasticity of your skin.

My dermatologist advised looking for the following ingredients when you try purchasing hand creams:

• Glycolic Acid.

• Shea butter.

• Hyaluronic Acid.

• Vitamin C or Vitamin D peptides.

While you’ll find no hand creams containing all of the ingredients mentioned, try to find at least one containing three out of these.

If your skin is sensitive like mine, steer away from products with additional flavors or fragrances.

◆ Feet

I admit I sometimes forget to take care of my feet because they’re not commonly seen, especially when wearing closed shoes.

However, this should not stop us from regularly grooming them, especially since our feet are bigger and rougher than women’s.

We can also more frequently experience having calluses on our feet than women, so it’s important to clean regularly and ensure that our feet feel smooth and good.

Like our hands, book a pedicure service regularly every two weeks, or do one at home!

Cut your toenails to prevent them from getting dirty, and apply nail polish when you often wear open-toed heels.

If your feet have calluses, which I have experienced, you can use a pumice stone to remove them.

And, a bonus tip: there are also foot creams available you can use to make your feet smoother and feel fresher!

2. Grooming Your Hair

We all know that our bodies tend to have more hair than women’s, and not trimming or grooming them daily does not add up to the perfect feminine package, especially our beard and chest hair!

With this, we must regularly remove any unwanted hair to keep our bodies smooth and hair-free.

◆ Your Face

When you go out, your face is what everyone sees. Imagine wearing your crossdressing outfits just to realize that you forgot to shave your beard!

Shaving is painless with the right shaving cream and razor.

Do it at least once a week so your beard won’t grow long, making it easier and faster for you to shave it off.

◆ Your Limbs

Women can have hair on their limbs, too, but not as much as we do!

They also need regular hair grooming, either by waxing, shaving, or using depilatory creams.

If you are open to spending more, try out laser hair removal!

It’s painless and takes more time before your hair grows again.

◆ Your Chest

Our chest hair may frequently be hidden, but shaving it regularly can make it easier to wear bodysuits or breast forms.

When shaving, don’t forget to use a good quality shaving cream that will prevent you from feeling any pain or skin irritation as you use the razor.

A friendly reminder that if you don’t use shaving cream when you shave, it can make your chest rough and irritating, and you wouldn’t want that to happen!

◆ Your Pubic Hair

Grooming your pubic hair also helps maintain the cleanliness and smoothness down there, and it also makes wearing gaffs or panties easier!

You can choose from several ways to remove your pubic hair – from trimming, waxing, shaving, and using depilatories to laser hair removal!

The options are limitless, so you don’t have an excuse to skip pubic hair grooming.

3. Facial Care

Women’s skin is generally smoother and looks more youthful, so we must practice measures to help our skin feel fresher and more attractive.

Daily exfoliating, moisturizing, and applying facial masks definitely can help, and I have tried and tested these grooming hacks!

◆ Exfoliating

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells that contribute to our skin’s roughness.

It can also make our skin look more vibrant, especially since ours generally appear duller than most women’s.

My dermatologist suggests exfoliating at least once or twice a week with a loofah or an exfoliating scrub.

If you’ll exfoliate your face, use products that are only meant for the face!

Finding The Best Exfoliating Scrub

What works for me might not work for you, but you must look into ingredients when selecting the exfoliating scrub that suits your skin type.

These ingredients are shea butter, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and niacinamide; they’re the best for sensitive skin.

◆ Moisturizing

After exfoliating, apply a good moisturizing cream or lotion to prevent your skin from becoming too dry.

Moisturizing also helps reduce the chance of your wrinkles appearing, which doesn’t complement your crossdressing look!

And, if you want to achieve that soft and glowing skin women have, moisturizing is certainly the way to go.

◆ Facial Masks

Try applying face masks at least once a week.

They can also help you relax after a long day of crossdressing.

After a full day of wearing makeup, it’s nice to treat your face to a good mask to allow it to breathe and feel refreshed.

4. Oral Care

When we go out, it’s natural that we would be talking to many people.

With this, it’s important always to have good breath and a clean mouth!

Generally, there are no significant differences between the mouths and breath of men and women, except for our larger teeth.

Don’t forget to brush your teeth twice a day, and using a mouthwash also helps fight bad breath.

◆ The Right Toothbrush

With so many brands and kinds of toothbrushes in the market, I’m certain you’ll be confused about which is the best and which one you should get.

My dentist would usually teach me to choose one with soft bristles because they are generally less traumatizing to our teeth and gums.

Regardless of the brand, a toothbrush with soft bristles ensures that we reach all the parts of our mouth for proper cleaning.

◆ The Right Toothpaste

Again, the brand does not matter.

The best toothpaste is one with at least 1500 ppm fluoride, and you can commonly see this on its packaging.

Fluoride is a chemical substance that protects your teeth, preventing them from getting destroyed easily.

You certainly need this to keep your smiles beautiful and radiant!

◆ The Right Mouthwash

Using mouthwash helps keep your mouth feeling fresh all day.

Like the toothpaste, choose one with fluoride while also looking for antiplaque or antibacterial ingredients to prevent dental issues like gum disease.

5. Maintaining and Caring for Your Wig

Aside from wigs creating fashion statements, they also complete our overall feminine look!

Because of this, we must always wash our wigs after use to keep them fresh and clean.

Shampooing and applying conditioners contribute to maintaining the smoothness and softness of our wigs.

Before styling, ensure that your wig can be heated, or you’ll end up damaging it.

Try to avoid sleeping on it, too, or you’ll have tangled hair strands all over when you wake up!

6. Performing Daily Feminization Exercises

Our bodies are in no way similar to women’s.

We are more muscular, and we’re not as curvy as the bodies of women.

Daily feminization exercises can help make us look more like a woman!

These workouts are slower and more controlled, helping us achieve the sexy and fab bodies women have.

What can be good feminization exercises?

These are those which target our butt, hips, and core to achieve sexy curves with perky butts and narrower waists.

Working out our arms to make them slimmer is also a good daily exercise!

I enjoy working out my side butt and waist to help create an illusion of an hourglass body figure.

7. The Proper Way To Wash Your Underwear

Finally, a pretty obvious but very important habit – washing and changing your underwear daily.

When we crossdress, it’s natural to become sweaty, especially when we wear additional body shapers inside.

My tip: don’t use the same underwear twice, and always wash them with a good detergent.

Generally, you’ll find care instructions for your gaffs, bras, or panties, so always make sure to follow those to avoid damaging them.

◆ Washing Your Bras

When washing your bras, treat them like delicate lingerie.

I suggest handwashing them to prevent the material from getting loose, especially with underwires.

If you place underwired bras in the washing machine, they can warp, then you would have to buy a new one again.

When hand washing, use lukewarm or cold water.

When the water’s too hot, your bra can shrink, compromising its material.

◆ Washing Your Panties

Similar to your bras, panties are also delicate. Handwash them using cold or warm water to preserve their quality and material.

As mentioned earlier, always ensure that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid wasting your panties.

Groom your Bodies the Feminine Way

While our grooming habits are less tedious using fewer products, women take them more seriously, explaining their smoother and more glowing skin.

We must know how they take care of their bodies and adopt these measures to achieve our desired feminine skin.

I make sure to visit the salon biweekly for my nails and use face masks regularly, especially when I put heavy makeup on my face!

My wigs are also properly taken care of because crossdressing will not be complete without them!
