There’s something magical about the wonyoungism aesthetic: that mix of freshness, sweetness, and effortless perfection that makes everything feel like a fairytale. It’s not about copying anyone, but about being inspired by that girly, polished, and healthy energy to bring out your best self. Here’s a 30-day glow up guide, Wonyoungism style.

Week 1: Mastering the basics

  • Consistent skincare: cleanse, hydrate, and protect with SPF every single day. Consistency is the real glow secret.
  • Beauty sleep: set regular sleeping hours; rested skin and bright eyes are the foundation of any glow up.
  • Hydration: at least 2 litres of water per day, add fruit slices or herbal teas to make it more enjoyable.
  • Posture and presence: practise keeping your back straight and chin up — it instantly makes you look more elegant.

Week 2: Elevating your style

  • Create a girly mini-uniform: skirts, soft blouses, bows, pastel or neutral tones. You don’t need to shop — reorganise what you already own.
  • Hair care: hydrating hair masks twice a week and simple but polished styles (high ponytail, soft waves).
  • Small details: neat, clean nails, minimalist accessories (pearl earrings, headbands, dainty necklaces).
  • Soft makeup: practise a natural look with lightweight base, rosy blush, and lips with a jelly tint effect.

Week 3: Energy and confidence

  • Light daily workouts: pilates, yoga, or dance routines to tone up and add grace to your movements.
  • Balanced eating: more veggies, clean proteins, and carbs in moderation. Limit ultra-processed foods.
  • Smile and expression: practise a natural smile and opening your gaze — such a wonyoungism detail.
  • Self-care rituals: masks, relaxing baths, journaling moments.

Week 4: Shining from within

  • Confidence mindset: write down positive affirmations every morning (“I am delicate and strong”, “Beauty surrounds me”).
  • Refine your energy: be mindful of the way you speak and move — aim for sweetness and quiet confidence.
  • Treat yourself: fresh flowers, a new outfit, a cute piece of jewellery… something to celebrate your glow up.
  • Main character energy: listen to playlists that make you feel like the protagonist and enjoy slow walks, pretty cafés, and magical little moments.

In just a month, with consistency and small changes, you can shift your energy towards something more delicate, feminine, and confident. Wonyoungism isn’t just about aesthetics: it’s a mindset that blends self-care, sweetness, and self-assurance.

And remember: the true glow up isn’t about becoming someone else, but about embracing your best self with grace and love.
