Amanda Anisimova x Carroten

My Comeback Glow

Game. Set. Glow.

Amanda Anisimova is the comeback story of women's tennis. After stepping away from the sport at 21 to prioritize her mental health, she returned with a new perspective — and the results speak for themselves. Now having ranked World #3 with two Grand Slam finals and a WTA 1000 title, Amanda is playing the best tennis of her career. But ask her what changed, and she won't talk about tactics. She'll tell you it was learning to take care of herself off the court that transformed how she shows up on it.

"I used to think that strength meant pushing through everything. Now I understand that strength also means knowing when to pause."

The small rituals, the intentional downtime, the moments of rest and renewal — that's where the confidence comes from. As she puts it: "Being mentally recharged is just as important as being physically recharged. There is a real connection between how you feel off the court and how you perform."  Carroten is part of that story.

Her Reset Ritual

One of Amanda's favorite ways to recharge between matches is a quiet day by the pool. It's where she pauses, breathes, and reconnects — a ritual she credits as essential to her comeback.

"When I step off the court, the pool and the beach are my reset. Just being out in the sun, spending time alone or with friends, is how I slow down and feel most recharged."

Her Carroten products are a permanent fixture in her bag. After applying SPF, she reaches for the Carroten Intensive Tanning Gel to build a deep, rich tan that lasts. For days when she wants a little extra shimmer, the Gold Shimmer version doubles as a body highlighter, giving her skin an instant, luminous finish.

"I've also become much more intentional about the products I use. A big part of what drew me to Carroten and its Intensive Tanning Gel is that it can be used together with SPF, so I feel good knowing that I can stay protected while also deepening my glow."

For Amanda, these moments aren't downtime — they're the foundation that everything else is built on.

Confidence in Her Own Skin

Whether she's home in Miami or traveling the world for tour, Amanda gravitates toward the water. Finding a beach, soaking up the sun, and feeling grounded in her skin — that's where her confidence lives.

"Carroten resonated with where I am in my life right now, in taking time for myself and feeling confident in my skin. I always feel my best when my skin has a healthy glow."

The Carroten Intensive Tanning Gel is always with her, delivering the deep, beautiful tan she could never achieve before. And when she's transitioning from a day at the shore to a night out, the Gold Shimmer Intensive Tanning Gel gives her that extra radiance without missing a beat.

As someone who is intentional about the brands she represents, Amanda chose Carroten because it reflects how she actually lives. "I am very intentional about the brands I partner with… I fell in love with the products and everything the brand stands for, in terms of celebrating confidence and prioritizing time outdoors." 

Embracing the glow that comes from taking care of yourself — inside and out.
