Beauty is a sensitive topic to tackle. On the one hand, most people want to leave a good first impression and be loved, respected, accepted, and adored by others. On the other hand, focusing too much on your appearance can harm your mental health and make you forget about all the other important parts of life.
Looks matter, but getting the balance right and developing a healthy relationship with beauty and self-improvement is tough. ‘The Glow Up’ is an online community dedicated to physical improvement, and today, we are featuring some of the most impressive before-and-after photos of people who were incredibly proud of the changes they made.

The focus of the group is entirely on detailed, constructive criticism revolving around physical aesthetics. “No one is perfect, everyone can improve,” the mods stress.

They also emphasize that you should not go around giving unwanted advice. For example, if someone is asking you for insights about their hair, you should not be pitching them permanent solutions like plastic surgery.

Focus on non-permanent solutions like hair styling, make-up, diet, and fitness advice for anyone looking to make small changes in their looks.

According to the mods, their group is not a place for ratings, selfies, validation-seeking, healthy at every size posts, or content related to “you’re perfect as you are” ideas.

What’s more, they emphasize that community is not a place to find dates or any kind of harassment. Nor are you allowed to post any incel-related content.
