inner glow

Light from within

Inner glow describes a radiance that seems to come from within a person—warmth, happiness, or vitality visible in their face or manner.

It often appears in contexts of health, contentment, or spiritual well-being: She had an inner glow after the retreat.

Cosmetics and skincare products promise to enhance or reveal your inner glow, treating it as achievable through external means.
