Although most people are raised to never judge a book by its cover, people judge others based on their appearance all the time unconsciously. People make inferences about what they can't see a person's character and values based on what they can see their looks. So, the appearance of your skin can actually affect the opinions others form about you and how they relate to you at work.
What Your Skin May Be Communicating
Unconsciously, people make determinations about others' values and personalities based on their skin. For instance:
|
Skin Issue
|
Impression
|
Workplace Assumption
|
|
Too much makeup
|
You're trying to hide who you are to trying too hard to get others to like you.

You tell people what they want to hear. Your opinions and feedback cannot be trusted.

|
No makeup
|
You don't care what you look like.
|
You don't care about anything. You may be lazy.
