In a new trend, social media users are sharing their jaw-dropping glow-downs, with many ditching fillers and heavy make-up for a more natural look. There have now been plenty of glow-downs posted online, but it will be pretty challenging to find one more epic than Carla's. A glow-down, similar to the 'clean girl aesthetic' trend, is rooted in the idea of 'less is more'. Advertisement It promotes enhancing natural beauty - rather than covering it up. With a glow-down, out are long hair extensions, colourful fake nails and mega lashes - and in is learning how to take care of your skin to make it look youthful and radiant. Before embarking on her transformation journey, Amahle wore heavy foundation and contour for a defined appearance. She also styled her hair, brushed up and drew on her brows, wore fluttery fake eyelashes and lined her already plump lips with lip liner. Advertisement But after becoming ''hiding behind make-up'' for ''so long'', the young beaut soon realised she had had enough of the aesthetic and decided to give herself a brand new look. Sharing the jaw-dropping transformation online, Amahle showed off what she looked like before, prior to going on a journey to become more confident in her natural appearance. I asked ChatGPT to help me glow up for summer - I did all the tweaks at home myself Seconds later, the young beauty rocked a much more fresh-faced look, showing off her radiant skin and her hair blowing in the wind. Now, Amahle has said goodbye to the cakey foundation and faux lashes, as she shared a selfie after her glow-down.

Four ways to give yourself a glowdown Thick fluffly lashes are out, so is the fake tan and long how to have the ultimate glow-down in four steps... The term "glow-down" refers to a woman removing what once was the most popular beauty choices, for a more natural look. Eyelash extensions - Thick, bold "Russian lashes" used to be all the rage, but nowadays, girls are opt for subtle, individual eyelash extensions to lengthen what they already have. Nails - Gone are the long, plastic talons, more women are favouring BIAB or gel manis. Hair colour - Remember when everyone wanted icy white hair? Not anymore! Millions of women are trying to go back to their roots (literally), and have soft blondes, and warm gold tones added to their hair, in a bid to achieve the "old money blonde" look. Makeup - Sculpting your face shape through the art of contouring is no more. Ladies are adding freckles and sweeping blush across cheekbones instead. Social media users gasp The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @amahlemgengee, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed over an astronomical 9million views. Not only this, but it's also racked up 2.6million likes, over 20k comments and more than 85k saves. Social media users were left open-mouthed by Amahle's natural beauty and many eagerly rushed to the comments to express this. Advertisement One viewer said: ''The makeup was self sabotage.'' Another agreed, demanding: ''Don't ever touch it again.'' Meanwhile, someone else thought the glow-down has slashed a decade off her face. ''10 years younger.''

How to use a 10p cable tie to totally clear out your plug holes WITHOUT any chemicals or touching the gross hair gunk
Plus, seven grossest household items you aren't cleaning enough HAIR ME OUT How to use a 10p cable tie to totally clear out your plug holes WITHOUT any chemicals or touching the gross hair gunk Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BLOCKED drains are a homeowner's worst nightmare, but for the most part they're unavoidable. A kitchen sink, for example, has to deal with large amounts of grease and food on a daily basis. 2 One savvy mum shared a game-changer of a cleaning hack on TikTok where it's since gone viral Credit: TIKTOK/@tsagana24 2 All you need for cleaning the gunk-filled drains is a piece of cable tie Credit: TIKTOK/@tsagana24 Meanwhile, when it comes to a bathroom drain, it has to handle soap suds, grime and hair whenever you shower or take a relaxing bath. But while there are heaps of different products on the market to tackle this problem, sometimes they tend to be pricey - or not work at all. Luckily, one TikToker has shared a nifty 10p solution, which she was allegedly taught by a plumber. The secret remedy? Nothing but a basic cable tie that you can snap up from Screwfix for just 99p for a 100-pack. According to the TikTok user and mum Tsagana, all you need to do is simply grab a pair of scissors and make a few diagonal cuts - these will act like tiny hooks. Once ready, she demonstrated in the now-viral video, hop into the shower or your bathtub and slide the flat tie down the drain. Go in as deep as possible and give the plastic tie a good wiggle to pick up as much gunk as possible. Tsagana, who posts under the username @tsagana24, then proceeded to pull the tie out - leaving viewers horrified by the chunks of hair and gunk that came out with it. If needed, repeat the process for an extra clean drain. ''Why didn't I know about this genius hack earlier?'' the mother wrote in the caption. I was gutted when scrubbing didn't get my 'stained' blender clean, then remembered a £3.25 spray I had in the cupboard 'Your plumber did not gate keep!' Since being uploaded online, the clip has taken the internet by storm, winning the mum a staggering 8.7million vires. It also has an astronomical 280k likes, 84k shares, with close to 2,000 viewers flooding to comments. The household items you're not cleaning often enough IF you want to ensure your home is squeaky clean, you'll need to listen up. Below are the household items you're forgetting to clean, and how to get them sparkling... Remote Controls: Wipe with a disinfectant cloth. Use a cotton bud for crevices. Light Switches: Wipe with a disinfectant wipe. Use a mild soap solution for tough stains. Door Handles: Clean with an antibacterial spray. Wipe down regularly. Underneath and Behind Appliances: Vacuum or sweep regularly. Mop with a suitable cleaner. Shower Curtains and Liners: Wash in the washing machine. Use a bleach solution for stubborn mildew. Kitchen Sponges and Dishcloths: Microwave damp sponges for one minute. Wash dishcloths in the washing machine. Computer Keyboards and Mice: Use compressed air to remove debris. Wipe with a disinfectant wipe. One said: ''Unscrew the little top hat looking thing! It makes doing this so much easier.'' ''Your plumber did not gate keep!'' another chimed in. However, whilst many were keen to test this hack for themselves. not everyone has the best experience. ''tried it, it broke, now there's plastic stuck deep inside my drain and it's more blocked than before,'' one cleaning fan cried. A fourth chimed in with another nifty solution, writing: ''But, there is this thing called, drain snake. Readily available. ''It is has very reliable handle to hold. And it is cheap. You can reuse it. You don't need a plier to hold that. Highly recommended.''
