If you want to feel incredibly sexy when it's time to strip down, sometimes all it takes is a little bit of mystery.

Sure, it's easy to look good in your clothes, but what happens when you want to look good when you're au naturel? Looking good while naked may initially seem intimidating, but with a few tips and tricks you'll be feeling sexy and confident in no time.

For many, the idea of looking good while naked can be not only overwhelming but also brings about a large amount of stress as you survey all of your perceived imperfections. In all actuality, since no one is perfect, the key to embracing your body and looking fabulous sans clothing is to lead with confidence. Having confidence goes a long way in how you view yourself with and without clothes, but especially when naked. So check out some of the easiest tips and tricks to ensure that your next naked experience is definitely a memorable one.

Exfoliate Dry Skin Away

Scrubbing all of the dead, dry skin away from your body is one of the easiest ways to ensure that your special someone won’t be able to keep their hands off of you. Pay close attention to knees, elbows, and feet, which are some of the traditionally drier areas. Exfoliate thoroughly and then follow up with your favorite moisturizer, lotion or body oil.

Tan! Tan! Tan!

It should be a well-known secret by now that getting a spray tan offers other benefits besides a bronzed glow. One of the best things about getting a spray tan is that it camouflages imperfections, such as stretch marks, spider veins, blemishes and uneven skin tone. Another benefit of the faux tan is that it creates the illusion of muscle definition and an overall slender figure.

The Higher the Heels the Better

Wearing stiletto heels do wonders for your frame, especially when you’re naked. They improve posture and give your legs an instantly leaner appearance with a hint of definition. Also, there is something so sensual about wearing your highest heels and nothing else.

Tighten Up Quickly

Been skipping the gym or indulging on too much of your favorite food lately? Well, don’t let that stop you from looking (and feeling) good while naked. All you have to do is find about 30 minutes before your sexy time to get in some crunches, lunges, and lifts and you’ll be looking tighter in a flash.

Lighting is Key

If you’ve ever compared how you look in bright, harsh lighting compared to soft, dim lighting, then you already know that it makes a major difference in the way your body looks. Set the mood with candlelight or flattering dim lighting to make the silhouette of your body look its absolute best.

Hair & Makeup Please

Sexy, tousled hair that looks ready for a night of rolling in the sheets is definitely the look you should be going for. Also, don’t forget to put on just a bit of makeup to complete the full picture. You’d be surprised at what a red lip, a few coats of mascara and winged eyeliner can do.
