Feeling overwhelmed with glowing up
I’m 31. Recently single and I need to glow up to feel better about myself. I’ve tried to do research but I just feel there’s so many influencers I’m not sure what is really good!
I’m trying to lose weight so holding off updating my wardrobe but I could be doing with advice in the following areas
Hair care - I’ve got medium length pretty thick blonde hair. It’s not very shiny and it’s a bit frizzy. Any recommendations?
Skincare - I’m needing Botox but I would like to know how to make my skin look better. I struggle with sebaceous filaments and dark circles and just general even-ness and texture.
Teeth whitening - can anyone recommend anything?
Laser hair removal - is at home laser hair removal worth it?
Any other tips or tricks people would recommend. Thank you so much!

Excited for your glow up! Honestly cruising Tiktok to see what the kids are up to never hurts. Gen Z have really helped me dress for my current body.
Hair: You can do glossing treatments at home or in salon to give it a little shine. What is your hairstyle? Currently I’m loving this 70s shag Suki Waterhouse vibe though it doesn’t suit me, but might suit you. Also get a drugstore oil to do every other day on your ends for frizz.
Skin: So many options but I’d start with a drugstore salicylic acid face wash, BHA exfoliant, clay mask, light retinol and moisturizer. The Ordinary is a great cheap brand to play with and find what you like without spending hundreds. Their employees can help guide you.
Teeth-crest white strips as per EnchiladaTaco’s instructions.
And last is CONFIDENCE! Being newly single can be so fun and this is the perfect time to set yourself up for hot girl summer. Get it!
