Olivia Bowen is crediting a no-alcohol, no-sugar lifestyle and a revamped skincare routine for her radiant post-baby look.
**At a Glance
- The 32-year-old Love Island alum posted a gym selfie and car snap showcasing clear skin on Jan. 20
- She told followers the changes follow five months of sleepless nights with daughter Siena Grace
- Bowen previously shared the couple lost their daughter’s twin to vanishing twin syndrome
- Why it matters: The candid update offers a rare look at post-partum recovery and pregnancy loss
New-Year Reset
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, the reality star uploaded a carousel that mixed family moments with fitness progress. A mirror shot taken at the gym highlighted toned arms, while a seat-belt selfie displayed makeup-free, luminous skin.
“No alcohol no sugar & new skincare is doing wonders,” she wrote across the image.
The declaration came tucked inside a longer caption that painted a realistic picture of early motherhood:
- Work, gym, eat, repeat
- Broken sleep from a 5-month-old who “wakes every hour”
- Impromptu concerts from 3-year-old Abel Jacob “AJ”
Bowen joked she was supplying “proof of life” after a January spent largely indoors.
Pregnancy Heartbreak
The upbeat post follows a difficult road to expanding the family. Five months before Siena Grace’s August 2025 arrival, Bowen revealed on Loose Women that an ultrasound had first shown two heartbeats.
“One of the babies just basically didn’t have a heartbeat,” she recalled of the March 4 episode taping. She experienced no pain, bleeding, or other warning signs before the scan.
Doctors diagnosed vanishing twin syndrome, a miscarriage in which the embryo stops developing and is reabsorbed. The condition occurs in up to 35% of multiple pregnancies, Bowen noted, far higher than the general miscarriage statistic of one in four.
“We were expecting to have these two little babies, but vanishing twin syndrome, that is what happens. They can, as it says, literally just vanish,” she explained.
The couple drew comfort from the idea that “those cells become a part of you,” she added, calling the experience a “bittersweet roller coaster.”
Social-Mnapshot
Bowen met husband Alex Bowen during Season 2 of Love Island UK. They wed in 2020 and have documented both milestones and setbacks on Instagram, where Olivia counts more than 2.7 million followers.
Recent uploads show:
- Morning gym sessions squeezed between feedings
- Abel singing in the shower while baby Siena coos
- A candid selfie captioned “January is a weird month”
The blend of vulnerability and progress resonates with fans who praised her transparency about:
- Post-partum body changes
- Sleep deprivation
- Navigating grief while celebrating new life
Health Adjustments
Beyond ditching alcohol and sugar, Bowen has not detailed the specific products behind her clearer complexion. She previously partnered with skincare brands, though no sponsorship was declared in the latest post.
Nutrition and fitness tweaks form part of her day:
- Home-cooked meals documented in Stories
- Hydration reminders alongside baby bottles
- Gym check-ins timed with nursery naps
Medical experts consulted by News Of Los Angeles note that eliminating alcohol can improve skin hydration within weeks, while cutting added sugar may reduce inflammation, though individual results vary.
