It’s been hard to miss the “glow-up” challenges on social media lately. With everything going on in the world, anything that improves your health and wellbeing is definitely a good thing. But some people might not know exactly what a “glow up” is or how to achieve one.
Basically, a glow-up is a positive physical, mental, or emotional transformation. It can happen naturally or with a plan, and it can be quick or slow, lasting temporarily or permanently.
Since that’s a pretty broad definition, it’s helpful to break it down into smaller, manageable steps. This article will focus on three easy ways to get great results this year.
First, let’s talk about your skin. You can buy all sorts of skincare products, but for this part of the glow-up, we’re going back to basics. Healthy, glowing skin starts with what you put into your body. The most important thing is to stay hydrated by drinking enough water. Swapping those six cups of coffee for plain water or water with a bit of fruit for flavor can make a big difference.
Next, eat more vegetables. Drinking water helps flush out impurities from junk and processed foods, and eating fresh vegetables will provide your skin (and body) with essential nutrients. This will make you look healthier overall.
Now let’s move on to something a little more advanced: your eyebrows. If your eyebrows are sparse from over-plucking or aging, you might want to consider eyebrow reconstruction. This procedure takes hair from your scalp and transplants it into your eyebrows, creating a fuller look over time. It takes about 10 months to see the full results, but it’s a permanent fix.
Finally, let’s talk about nails. The ideal length and color of your nails might depend on your daily activities. Long nails might not be practical if you’re typing all day, and bright colors might not be suitable for some professional settings. But it’s easy to take care of your nails either at home or by visiting a local nail bar.
Ready for a glow-up? These are three ways to start this year, so get glowing!
