The Glow Up

What if great skin didn't require a 12-step routine, miracle creams or TikTok trends you'll regret by next week? In The Glow Up, award-winning journalist Paula Joye cuts through the confusion of modern skincare to show you what actually works — and what's simply clever marketing. From pore myths and eye cream debates to the truth about snail slime, Paula delivers practical, expert-backed advice with warmth, wit and zero judgement. Built around six simple steps, this is your no-nonsense guide to healthier, happier skin at every age and stage of life. You'll learn how to build a routine that suits you, where to splurge and where to save, and how to care for your skin through stress, hormones, illness, weather changes and ageing. Whether you're a skincare obsessive or someone who barely remembers to moisturise, The Glow Up will help you feel confident in your skin — and finally understand it.
