You need to have many different looks in your portfolio,showing you in different poses, in different outfits and different hairstyles.

A great tip that many professional models will tell you is practice,practice, practice!! It may feel awkward at first,but try standing in front of a mirror and practice some posing and facial expressions. Also,study magazines and see how the proffesionals work in front of the camera. This will help no end when you come to work in front of the camera.

You are what you eat! I know it sounds like a cliche but it is true. You need to look after your face and body from the inside and out. Your face and body are your fortune. You should try and exercise at least three times a week to maintain a healthy body. Toned, lean bodies look much better on camera. Always try to drink at least two litres of water a day. This will keep your skin clear, healthy and hydrated.

We have already covered two important tips for looking after your skin and they are drinking plenty of water and watching what you eat. Women should really try and maintain a good skin care routine. For your body, dry skin brushing is great for combatting cellulite.Always moisturize your body with a body lotion or body oil. Try to avoid sun-bathing and sunbeds.Why not cheat to get that goden glow? Go for fake tanning lotions and creams or mousses or how about a spray tan?

The most important part of your face care routine is CLEANSING. Women who wear make-up should follow a skin care routine of cleansing,toning and moisturizing each evening as well as washing the face in the morning. Cleansing will remove old make-up and the grease and grime that have accumalated during the day.

Remove mascara with eye-make up remover then cleanse your face and neck with a face cleanser then follow with a toner. Toners remove all traces of dirt,make-up or cleanser that remain after cleansing. The final step is moisturizing. Without moisture, the skin will not remain smooth and supple. The face is exposed to the drying effect of the weather, so moisturisers,which form a film over the skin, rehydrate the skin. This also prevents ageing.

Always use a night moisturiser in the evening and a good day day cream, prefferrably one that contains SPF's or sunscreen. Don't forget your neck when cleansing and moisturizing your face.
