A beauty therapist, consulted for this article, noted that factors such as diet, hydration, reduced stress levels, and even changes in climate and UV exposure can all contribute to visible shifts in skin tone and texture. Travel to countries with lower pollution levels and different sun intensity can result in a noticeably brighter complexion without any cosmetic intervention.

Whether Mdoda's glow is down to cod and crunchy vegetables or something else entirely, the online debate shows that South African fans remain keenly watchful of how their favourite celebrities look, and are never shy about saying so.
