Glow up habits are the secret sauce to thriving at a young age. Your 20s are wild… you’re figuring out life, chasing the bag, trying to build and dealing with relationships, and also at the same time trying not to let your skin betray you. But girl, your 20s are also the prime time to build habits that set you up for the ultimate glow-up, inside and out. And no, I don’t just mean clear skin, I mean that soft and abundant lifestyle you have been dreaming of plus confidence that makes you walk into a room like the main character.
Here are glow up habits every woman in her 20s should tap into:
1. Prioritize Skincare, Not Just Makeup
Makeup is fun and trust me, I live for a good beat, but real glow comes from healthy skin. Cleanse, moisturize and wear sunscreen even when you “don’t feel like it” The three basic skincare steps you should be having as a lady and don’t skip hydration either, because dehydrated skin = dull skin. Think of skincare as your long-term investment.
If you struggle with a specific common sin concern like acne and hyperpigmentation, don’t worry we have the solutions for mild to moderate acne and dark-spots on our shop!
You can also seek professional help for severe cases and other skin concerns.
2. Romanticize Your Health
The baddie lifestyle isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about energy. Nourish your body with balanced meals, move it (gym, Pilates, yoga, or even hot girl walks), and don’t underestimate sleep. Lack of sleep will have you looking like you just got dragged through finals week forever.
You can move your body by going to the gym, home workouts, pilates or even daily 10k+ steps. First try them out and stick with the one you enjoy doing. Then fix it into your daily routine. Regular exercises are really important as they help improve energy levels, improve your mood, improve your confidence as you will get rid of excess fat in your body and also help prevent future chronic diseases.
Healthy foods will not only help with weight management but also help in clearing your skin and balancing your hormones.
3. Protect Your Peace
The ultimate glow is inner peace. Sis, your 20s can be messy if you allow fake friends, toxic relationships, envy, jealousy and social media comparison. Learn to protect your energy by Journaling, meditating or simply set boundaries.
Also learn to say no, protect yourself from negative energy and master your emotions. Do not be quick to react to situations and do not make decisions based off of emotions. Purpose to surround yourself with positive and supportive people who will encourage you and celebrate your wins. Train your mind to think more positively.
Remember: glowing skin won’t hit the same if your soul is stressed out.
4. Invest in That Girl Routines
Habits make the baddie. A consistent morning routine, skincare routine or even a night-time wind-down routine makes life feel more put together. A good wind down routine sets you up for a great tomorrow. Start small, maybe lemon water in the morning, a gratitude list, and a solid skincare lineup.
5. Mind Your Money Moves
Glow-ups aren’t only physical. A financially smart woman in her 20s? That’s the real flex. Save, budget and invest. Even small habits like creating a realistic budget, tracking your spending, creating an emergency fund or avoiding emotional shopping sprees will set you up for a softer life later.
6. Upgrade Your Self-Care
Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and candles (though we love those). It’s going for therapy if you need it, cutting off that draining situationship, keeping up with doctor’s appointments, and learning how to actually rest.
7. Curate Your Vibe
Environment matters. Create a space that inspires you whether it’s your Pinterest-perfect bedroom or playlists that make you feel like a movie star. When your vibe is aligned, your energy shines through.
Conclusion
Glowing up in your 20s isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about becoming her, the best version of you. It also isn’t about chasing perfection, it’s about leveling up in ways that make you feel good. Sticking to your skincare routine, moving your body, protecting your peace, positive thinking or getting your bag, these little habits add up to the soft life you deserve. Remember, your glow isn’t just on the outside, it’s in your confidence, your energy, and the way you show up for yourself daily. So keep evolving, keep prioritizing yourself, and most importantly… stay glowing, bestie. Glowing is the lifestyle, not just the look.
