What is Looksmaxxing?
Looksmaxxing is the practice of systematically maximizing your physical appearance using evidence-based (and sometimes pseudoscientific) techniques. The goal is to improve your score on metrics like the PSL Scale — the same metrics that Omoggle's AI measures when you compete.
The movement has grown significantly due to platforms like Omoggle where appearance is quantified and ranked in real time.
The 5 Most Impactful Looksmaxxing Techniques
1. Skincare routine
Skin clarity is one of Omoggle's six measured metrics. A basic routine takes 5 minutes a day and produces visible results within weeks. Start with a gentle cleanser, a niacinamide serum (reduces pores and redness), and SPF 50 daily. Read our full skincare looksmaxxing guide for product recommendations under $40.
2. Mewing
Mewing involves keeping your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth as your default resting posture. Proponents claim it reshapes jaw and cheekbone structure over time through consistent bone remodeling pressure. Results vary and take months to years. It costs nothing and has no downsides.
3. Gym and body composition
Reducing overall body fat percentage reveals facial structure — especially jawline definition and cheekbone prominence. These are heavily weighted by Omoggle's AI. Consistent gym training 3–4 times per week, combined with a moderate caloric deficit if needed, can meaningfully raise your PSL score over 6–12 months.
4. Optimize camera setup
For immediate Omoggle improvement: shoot from slightly above eye level, use natural side lighting from a window, ensure a clean neutral background, and maintain proper distance from the camera. These alone can raise your Omoggle score by 0.5–1.5 points. Full breakdown in our guide on how to win Omoggle.
5. Hairstyle and grooming
The right hairstyle frames your facial structure and can emphasize or downplay your best and worst features. For Omoggle specifically, keeping hair off the forehead exposes facial symmetry, which the AI weights heavily.
What Doesn't Work (Pseudoscience to Avoid)
Some looksmaxxing claims have no scientific basis. "Facial exercises" to reshape bone structure, jade rollers for permanent facial slimming, and collagen supplements for skin tightening all lack strong evidence. Focus on the fundamentals above before exploring unproven techniques.
