Our gorgeous January cover girl - Carrie Underwood - has a skin secret that doesn't involve thousand-dollar face creams or a facialist-to-the-stars. In fact, it won't cost you more than you are already spending. Dying to know? See the secret, after the jump.

Check out Carrie's style transformations!

How does cover girl Carrie get gorgeous, glowing skin? Skipping sweets and eating healthy (we swear!).

"My sugar intake is way down, and I have a lot fewer breakouts. Now when I drink tea, it's unsweetened. Or I'll have water," the start told SELF. "Also, I'm off soda. For so long, I'd have a Diet Coke with breakfast!"

She also said, "People have asked me, 'What are you doing differently?' I tell them that I'm honestly just eating healthier. If you eat a bunch of grease and stuff like that, it's got to go somewhere. It can show in your skin."
