Those who had a "glow-up" in what ways did you experience "pretty privilege"?

I'm not sure if I ever experienced "pretty privilege," but I definitely had more of a glow up or hit my peak in the middle of college and after college. It was then I focused on my overall heath and fitness. When I had a steady job and more time on my hands, I focused on exercise and losing weight. That lead me to make more decisions on improving my overall well-being, like eating a better diet and taking care of my body. So it was around my mid to late 20s that I experienced my "glow up."

Didn't really have a glow up, but I remember using a whitening soap for my body and not going out in the sun as much, so my skin lightened quite a lot (I was a kid at the time). All the adults around me kept commenting on my skin and how it lightened and what I used to lighten it. They were all very impressed, and kept telling younger me it was good that I lightened my skin and that I looked better which affected me negatively since I ended up being more conscious of my natural skin tone, avoided going out in the sun more often, and would pile on sunscreen in the beach just so I wouldn't tan. Until now I still get comments on whenever my skin looks lighter than usual even though I wasnt trying to lighten it (it was probably due to the fact that I always stayed indoors haha)

Well I don’t consider myself as the pretty girl in sch. I want to be comfortable in my own skin & be confident in myself from the bottom of my heart naturally, I m sick & tired to care of what ppl thinks abt me but that doesn’t meant that I gave up on myself, I am such a mess , dirty etc. No, I practice self care since I m young so i really love myself so much & I take good care of myself so so much. Instead of begging ppl to love me or beg ppl to stay, I fully focus on educating myself, level up myself, keep improving myself etc !! 🥰🥰❤️

I think i got my glow up around graduating high school. My face was super oily back then and i had much darker skin because of the sun. Plus i didnt wear sunscreen back then. My face feels like an oil factory. Thats how worse my skin was back then. I had a lot of acne too. After high school i learnt a lot about skincare and i knew about acne patches and niacinamide. I bought them and i do notice a few changes from before. My skin is still not perfect but it keeps getting better and my friends and family did say my skin looks a lot healthier

I have always been plus sized since elementary and still am now. People in school will always be mean to whoever is plus sized and it's very sickening. Although I am plus sized, I know that I am healthy because I do exercise, I eat balanced meals and I don't have difficulties doing anything others do. I'm just bigger than everyone else. I always wished for a glow up so that people would stop talking behind me, but I've recently learnt how to accept myself and love my body for who I am. I used to try to lose weight because of pressure but nowadays, if I exercise, I do it for myself. I always believe that personality comes first. Hence, I have never been badly bullied, maybe the most people would do was call me names behind my back and it's something I can't avoid. Throughout schooling years, I was kind and helpful to everyone, treated everyone with respect just like how I wanted to be treated. Ever since young, my parents told me how important being a good person was, and how being kind changes other people's perspectives on you. True enough, they were right. I still get remarks to this day but I'm unbothered already. because if someone is taking out their precious time to give u bad remarks, they're wasting their own time lol. Like stop being so obsessed with me. Very much fan behaviour ngl 😩 these people go so low just to get a reaction out of you, and it really isn't worth your time to give them a reaction. Don't lower your standards. Physical glow up, nope not yet. But mentally, I can say that I have. 😽😽
