How important is (it) - good appearance

Good morning!

I'm puzzled. Which of the two sentences is correct?

1) How important is it to have a good appearance?

2) How important is to have a good appearance?

And moreover:

Does the question sound natural to a mother-tongue speaker or is there a better way to express the idea?

Thank you.

But we don't usually say it like that.

1) We change the infinitive at the beginning to an -ing form:
