'''Looksmaxxing''' is any attempt at improving one's [[looks|appearance]]. It may consist of something as simple as a haircut, or something more drastic, such as plastic surgery. The main form of looksmaxxing for [[femcel]]s is [[fakeup]]. Some forms of looksmaxxing are mild (such as getting a haircut, using minoxidil and grooming eyebrows). But there are also more extreme forms of looksmaxxing such as getting surgery and taking steroids.

===Controversial looksmaxxing methods===
In the Looksmaxxing community other less popular methods are also discussed, that many deride as pseudo-scientific or unproven, such as:
* [[Mewing]], a practice that supposedly improves facial bones (such as the [[maxilla]]) through adopting correct tongue posture.
* [[Smash Bone Theory|Bonesmashing]], a practice that supposedly relies on Wolf's Law (that states that bones adapt to stress by becoming stronger) to improve bone structure. Basically striking yourself in the face in the belief that this will remould your facial bones.
* [[Fapstinence|NoFap]] i.e. stopping masturbation for various purposes like improving brain receptors or improving the hormonal profile.
* The assumption of that various over the counter supplements, like vitamin K MK4,  can have dramatic effects like reshaping one's facial bones.
