how to glow (literally) up this fall

Sep 13, 2026

Start eating an aggressive amount of carrots, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes

Start adding these to the meals you already enjoy. Think roasted sweet potatoes with dinner, tomatoes in your salad, or carrots with your favorite dip.

The beauty connection comes from carotenoids, the pigments that give these vegetables their red, orange, and yellow colors. Those pigments can accumulate in your skin and subtly influence its color over time. In a small six-week study, increased fruit and vegetable intake was associated with measurable changes in skin coloring. The participants were predominantly white, so the findings don’t establish the same visible effect across everyy skin tone.

You don’t need to build your diet around carrots. Make these foods a regular part of a varied diet, prepared in ways you actually look forward to eating.

Get into drinkable skincare, like konjac jelly

Doesn’t need much explanation to be honest just drink it and your skin will glow trust me. My preferred brand.

the WOW method

The movement is simple: slowly mouth the word “wow.” Bring your lips together for the W, round your mouth into an O, then return to the W. Keep the movement comfortable rather than stretching your mouth as wide as possible, and stop if it causes pain.

This literally removes the tension in your jaw which is amazing.

Lip skin care

If you’re not chemically exfoliating your lips, I don’t know what you’re doing. Make sure you choose a light exfoliant and a balm with SPF 30+!

Turns out drinking water makes a diff.

A daily target of around two liters can give the habit some structure, rather than leaving it at “I should drink more water.” Make it practical. Fill your bottle in the morning, keep it within reach, and drink regularly throughout the day.
