If 2020 was all about the discovery that skincare is vital to our self-care, then for 2021, skincare trends pick up pace with an array of innovations, ingredients, and intelligent formulations. Stacking our shelfies full of cute-but-ineffective products is firmly out, replaced instead by our new work-smarter-not-harder, skinimalism mood. Think personalized protocols, multi-tasking formulas, authentic clean and clinical skincare, and impactful, performance-packed products.

Cleanses, intermittent fasting, green juices - we’re all familiar with those kinds of detoxes, but sometimes our skin needs a little extra targeted TLC too. Celebrations, stress, dropping temperatures - can all take their toll on our skin. And, as our largest and most visible organ, our skin can often be the first signal that something is out of balance. Step forward the skin detox. Taking that cleansing mindset to both body and beauty can go a long way to improve your skin’s overall health and vitality.

While many ingredients and products recommended to address skin concerns are for the most part, the same for all skin tones, there are some conditions that can be problematic for people with more richly-melanated skin. Discover skincare tips for darker skin tones

When we think about skincare, for most of us the first thing that comes to mind is the face, and by extension, the neck and décolleté (the upper chest area). The reality is, there’s another area that sees as much (if not more!) daily use and exposure to the sun and environment, and is therefore just as susceptible to signs of aging, dryness and general wear and tear.

Whether you have serious hyperpigmentation or simply wish your complexion wasn’t so blah, almost everyone wants to brighten dull skin. Especially in the winter, when temperatures drop and we’re forced to deal with an extra dry epidermis.

If you’ve been following along with our blog this year, you know we LOVE retinol. It’s an absolutely incredible ingredient that works in miraculous ways, treating fine lines, texture, acne and hyperpigmentation. Despite its amazing benefits, it’s not for everyone. Retinol users know that the baby soft skin comes at a price, which usually includes dry, flakey skin. Each time we recommend retinol, it’s immediately followed by a warning to ease into use slowly. This is our attempt to help clients avoid the unfortunate side effects but sometimes that’s still not enough. So, what are you supposed to do when you want to achieve the retinol glow, without irritation? Try bakuchiol.

One of the only redeeming qualities of Winter is the range of outerwear options you can choose from each day.

If you don’t know by now, Glo LOVES multi-taskers. And who wouldn’t? They’re perfect for anyone on the go who wants to look their best in the least amount of time as possible. We’re always in favor of when one product can serve multiple purposes. With that in mind, we wanted to create one product that would do it all: all over face foundation coverage, conceal and correct blemishes or under eye circles, contour to add warmth, depth and dimension and highlight to feature the high points of the face. Sounds like a unicorn of a product, right? Nope. It’s our new HD Mineral Foundation Stick.

With so much information available, it's hard to know what's true and what's false when it comes to best practices for your skin. And it doesn't help that almost everyone has their own opinion. Here at Glo Skin Beauty, we want to make sure you have the best information to make informed decisions about your own skincare routine, so we've debunked the top 5 skincare myths.

The more popular something becomes, the more people try to cheapen or 'dupe' it. The same goes for skincare. We’ve seen a rise in both interest and general knowledge of skincare routines, formulas and products, yet we continue to see clients who insist on creating DIY formulas for skin concerns that could easily be remedied with the right over the counter product. You may think that making your own products is the answer, but we’re here to (gently) remind you that it’s not. Though you’ll never catch us recommending lemon, honey and baking soda as a facial cleanser/mask, there is one frequently promoted ingredient that receives love from both professionals and DIYers alike, and that's Witch Hazel.
