Just as the seasons change each September, so can the skin’s oil production. During the warmer months you may notice an increase in oil production, then as the temperatures drop, you may find yourself reaching for a heavy night cream to cure any dryness.

If you’ve ever experienced forehead shine with cheek dryness, you’re likely among the vast majority of people living with Combination Skin. Combination Skin is exactly what you would think: two common skin types, oily and dry, combined on one face, which results in an oily t-zone and dry cheek area. Finding products that both manage oil production and hydrate can be a daunting task, which is why Glo Skin Beauty created its Combination Skin Set.

Kakadu Plum is a native Australian fruit known for its incredibly high concentration of Vitamin C. How high are its concentrations, you might ask. Well, they’re 100x that of oranges. Every organ in the body needs Vitamin C, but when ingested, the  skin is the last organ to receive any benefit, making a topical Vitamin C product so important. So grab your glass of OJ and learn how to get your Vitamin C delivered topically through skincare.

If you’re familiar with our Skin Sets, you’ve surely noticed offerings for both oily and dry skin types. But what about anyone with combination skin?

Used widely across the world, this essential element plays a huge role in managing and preventing environmental damage, as it is packed with a variety of potent antioxidants.

One of the major issues facing Combination Skin Types is the cheek-area dehydration.
