I would never in a million years say that looks are everything, but for a model and a girl who wants to be paid as a model you do have to consider your looks because basically your job is to be beautiful and pleasing to the eyes and if you don't take care of certain things like your hair, skin, nails, and such it can cost you a job.
Models never know when their next job will be. It could be months between jobs or even days. You never know when someone will want you to represent their line or product or do a photo shoot, so it is very important to always be ready. You never want to risk losing a job over something like scaly feet or a skin issue because you were to lazy to wash your make up off the night before.
Little things daily can help prevent bigger issues later.
Such as....
I know some nights get late and you think "oh I will just use a baby wipe" and then the next morning you have a nasty pimple! It's not worth it. Clients are more likely to hire someone who's skin needs less photoshop. Yes I know some people can't help breaking out or having skin issues and that's ok, but being lazy doesn't help so it's important to take care of such important things like your skin.
Don't wait five minutes before your shoot or job to shave your legs so
Washing your face like you should to help prevent avoidable skin issues
.you quickly run a razor over your legs giving yourself bright red razor burn.
Keep up with routine manicures and pedicures even if you do them yourself. Unkept nails won't look so great on camera, and try to stick to nude colors unless the job requires otherwise.
your hair color fresh, (because several months of roots will show up as years worth under the lighting) and use a whitening toothpaste daily to keep those million dollar smiles worth their money! ;)
Keep things like your eyebrows waxed,(and other areas ;)
ocus on everyday things in your life that can help or hurt your modeling career. Things like drinking water over other beverages will help keep your skin looking well. Don't eat super salty things before you know you have a shoot so you don't risk being all puffed up. Don't drink a lot of alcohol the night before you shoot. Don't get your hair dyed right before a job and possibly have dye marks on places they shouldn't be. Don't experiment with new looks or techniques the day of the job. Just little things that you may not think are important that can hurt your modeling.
FYou don't have to obsess over these things daily, but little things like that can help a lot in the long run. It's important to always be the best you that you can be. That doesn't mean you have to try and change who you are but always take the extra time so you can shine your brightest. Always be ready to take a job or photo shoot at a moments notice and more jobs will be sure to follow.
