Poor body image tends to come from three main sources: peers, parents, and standards of beauty that come from the media.<ref name="rf12006">http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/advice/a3773/feel-sexier-now/</ref> All of these sources are external.

#Practice feeling comfortable naked. If no one is around to see you, develop your confidence by walking around the house naked for a little while. If there are other people in the house, get in a little naked time by doing some of your post-shower hygiene routine before putting your clothes on. If you have someone you are romantically intimate with, ask him or her to spend some time being naked with you. Over time, you'll grow an appreciation for your natural body. | #Practice feeling comfortable naked.

#[[Exfoliate Skin|Exfoliate]]. When you're naked, glowing skin can become your best accessory. Exfoliate your skin regularly, especially rough patches like elbows and knees, to remove dead cells.

This gives a slimming shadow look.<ref name="rf6716" /> | + | #[[Get a Fake Tan That Looks Real|Get a sunless tan]].
