Redditors Share The Ultimate Guide For The Perfect Glow Up After A Bad Breakup
The best kind of glow up!
Breakups can be tough, and navigating the road to recovery can feel like an uphill battle. However, one silver lining is the opportunity for a personal glow-up, a chance to rediscover and redefine yourself. To gather some insights on post-breakup transformations, I reached out to Reddit and colleagues for their tips on how to emerge from the ashes of heartbreak with renewed radiance. Here’s what they had to share:
1. Social and Physical Well-being
Ensuring a good night’s sleep is crucial for emotional and physical well-being. Don’t become a recluse; instead, go out and socialize. Joining a gym or a yoga class not only helps in maintaining physical health but also provides a positive outlet for stress.

2. Self-Care and Beauty Routine
Your body is a temple, so treat it like one. Say no to junk food and yes to a healthy diet filled with fruits. Take care of your hair by conditioning it regularly and getting a little trim when needed. Pamper your skin with face masks for that extra glow.
3. Habits and Personal Development
Transforming your life post-breakup involves cultivating healthy habits. Whether it’s working out, eating healthier, or reading more, these are things you’ve always wanted to do. Now is the time. Explore skincare routines and practices to enhance your natural beauty. Understand your hair type and learn how to care for it – from shampooing to oiling.
4. Grooming and Aesthetics
It’s not just about the inside; external care matters too. Maintain your eyebrows, eyelashes, and nails. Consider lamination, extensions, or professional nail care for an extra boost. Keep makeup minimal for a clean and natural look that enhances your features. Confidence is key; take the Kibbe body test to understand your body type and choose outfits that complement it. Opt for a simple wardrobe with the white top, black bottoms, and white shoes combination.
5. Additional Beauty Tips
Beyond the basics, consider adding some flair to your routine. Try Gua sha for facial care, a technique that not only feels good but enhances your skin. Choose a hairstyle and color that you can easily maintain. Regular gym sessions are not just about weight loss; they make you feel good. Look for gyms with spa services like a jacuzzi or a sauna for a luxurious touch. Hydration is essential; consider indulging in spa services, Brazilians, new makeup, or facials if your budget allows.
I also reached out to my colleague and editor for their input on how to glow up after a breakup, here’s what they had to say,
“Honestly, the best way to nail that post-break-up glow is to simply break up. You are not just what you eat but also what you think. If you’re mentally in a happy place and stress-free, your skin glow on its own. Speaking from personal experience, the best way to detox your skin is to bid adieu to your toxic ex and ta-da, your skin will glow and you will shine. But if you want to do something a little extra for glowing skin, I suggest you throw on a sheet mask and get your best sex toy out. Nothing better than the post-orgasm glow that your ex probably failed to give you!” – Janvi Manchanda, Associate Editor, Hauterrfly

“Block that man, and realise that there is nothing wrong with you. Start journaling, and express your anger on a big chart paper-sized sheets, and a sketch pen. Scribble or write whatever you wanna. Get enough sleep, go out and socialise. Don’t bottle up your emotions, and know that it is perfectttt to cry. Join a gym, or yoga class and please take professional help, and therapy.” – Jasveen Kaur Sawhney, Senior Features Writer, Hauterrfly
A breakup is not the end; it’s a new beginning. Embrace the opportunity for self-discovery and transformation. The journey to a glow-up is about fostering a holistic approach that addresses emotional, physical, and aesthetic well-being. So, go ahead, embark on this journey of self-love and emerge as the best version of yourself.
