I'm translating usage instructions for waxing strips, and just cannot figure out how to make this sound even slightly less clunky in English. It just seems like such a strange phrase.
For context, this is at the very end of the instructions:
Sie werden staunen, wie attraktiv Sie nach der Anwendung auf Ihre Umgebung wirken.

on your environment
Important to keep it as is in terms of the word Umgebung. It shows a kind of mystical nontangible almost, effect that the person's newfound attractiveness has on their environment, which most definitely would include people, but saying it indirectly I believe brings the meaning across more accurately.
the effect your newfound attractiveness will have on your environment
Can also be
the attractive effect you will have on your environment and those around you
the effect your newfound attractiveness will have on your environment
Can also be
the attractive effect you will have on your environment and those around you

leave it out
I would just leave this out. If you're using the word "attractive", this automatically implies that you are attractive to the people around you, so adding anything at the end of the sentence not only seems superfluous, but also sounds unnatural.
