With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, our office is buzzing with talk of Thursday night plans. For most people, Valentine’s Day can be a polarizing holiday- some plan months ahead for the perfect evening, with dreams of chocolates, roses and maybe even engagement rings in their future, while others choose to spend time with friends or even alone, fully embracing the #selflove mantra. We feel the same way, which is why we created 3 easy looks so that you can enjoy Valentine's Day no matter your plans for the evening.

Whether you watched the big game yesterday because you love football, love somebody who loves football or just had nothing better to do, we can bet you probably noticed a fully stocked buffet and bar. Game day snacks and refreshments are almost as important as the game itself and we all know how tempting it can be to ditch your diet for the day and indulge. If you’re like us, feel free to admit that you threw caution to the wind and had yourself a day (and night)- we’re here to help you restore your skin for good.

As we wrap up the first month of 2019, it’s safe to say there are several emerging trends that we already can’t get enough of: Lady Gaga’s monochrome Golden Globes look, Marie Kondo-ing our entire home and the general mood that is Ariana Grande. A lot can change in a year and we’d be lying if said we weren’t happy to see some 2018 trends die (looking at you, halo brows) but we think 2019 will be all about change: from brands finally ditching their old-school ways of thinking to clients understanding and transforming their skin.

Ever wonder what’s giving your favorite celeb their famous glow? You know the one we’re talking about- when you look at them, you can’t help but be a little jealous of their plump, youthful complexion that seems to radiate without even trying. It’s the type of glow that might encourage you to try a 'No Makeup' Makeup look or even ditch foundation for the day (if that’s your thing). The glowy, fountain of youth praised by celebrities and dermatologists alike? It’s Hyaluronic acid and you already have it inside of you.

As the new year rolls in, we're more than ready to start fresh on a high note. Here at Glo Skin Beauty we are constantly developing new products to fit your needs, in addition to working on ways to update the products you know and love to produce even better results. What better way to begin the year than with expanded shade ranges for three of our best sellers?

We’re all about focusing on ways to improve our lives through resolutions this year, instead of making our lives more miserable by cutting something out. Skin care and skin health is at an all time high, so why not ride the wave and take on one (or more!) of our 7 simple resolutions you can actually keep.

When it comes to New Year’s Eve, we love going all out with our look. Sure, staying home and relaxing can be great but getting made up to ring in the new year is hard to beat. While some of you may have had your outfits planned since Thanksgiving, we know there are a few of you who may still be searching for that perfect beauty look for your big night out.

Let’s face it- gift giving can be hard. One way to make it easier? Shop at the same store for all of your presents because everyone deserves healthy, beautiful skin. Worried you won’t be able to check every box? Rest assured, you can find something for everyone on your list at Glo! Let’s take a look at some of our top picks.

The winter season can wreak havoc on your skin. From dry patches to dullness, we wouldn’t blame you if you said this was your least favorite season.

As peak holiday shopping season draws near, it's time to start thinking of gifts. Below you'll find the top 10 products we're using (and loving), perfect for you or anyone on your list.

When the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to forget your budget and spend like there’s no tomorrow. While we all wish we could gift our loved ones with everything they’ve ever wanted, sometimes it’s just not in the cards for us to overspend. Thankfully, Glo offers TONS of amazing gifts for anyone on your list, no matter your budget. And don’t be fooled-- just because these gifts are budget-friendly, doesn’t mean they’re lacking in quality. Let’s get to shopping!

When building a skincare regimen, it is essential to first determine your skin type if you want to see the best results from your products. Similarly, buying products that also address your unique skin concerns can drastically improve how you feel about your products. If you have oily, acneic skin, you’re likely going to hate a rich face moisturizer because it will exacerbate your concerns instead of alleviating them. Without knowing your skin type and skin concerns, it is almost impossible to choose the right products. Especially because there are some products that sound appealing even when they’re not meant for your skin type. If you fall for the benefits without considering your skin type you will be upset when the product doesn’t perform how you want.

Beauty kits and sets are a must-have for the holiday season and trust us, you’re going to love ours. Glo Skin Beauty is proud to release our Holiday 2018 Mosaic Collection, featuring six unique kits offered at unbeatable price points. This collection was inspired by individuality and the variety of interchangeable color assortments that deliver singular accents to modern pairings-- a seamless fusion of endless possibilities.

At some point in your life, you’ll be unhappy with your skin. Whether it’s while fighting bouts of blemishes as a teen, wrestling with dark spots during pregnancy or attempting to slow the unstoppable signs of aging as an adult, it will happen and it will likely happen more than once throughout several stages of life. But don’t lose hope just yet. There is one category of products that offers a strong chance of fighting (and beating) your most unfavorable skin concerns. You may or may not be familiar with them but it’s never too early to learn. So, without further ado, let’s talk about SERUMS.

Fall isn’t technically the start of a new year but it still seems to feel that way. With kids going back to school and summer ending, we love the feeling that the start of the new season brings. There are so many opportunities to start fresh with new habits, the possibilities are endless! Instead of shopping for back to school supplies, why not revamp your beauty kit with some fresh new products that will instantly put you in the mood for the season of crunchy leaves, hot chocolate, sweaters and pumpkin.

For most of us, the theme of ‘back to school’ is no longer personally relevant but that doesn’t mean we can’t still participate in the fun and excitement of hitting the restart button on a new (school) year. With summer over, it’s time to get back into the swing of things-- whether that’s heading back to class, getting your kids ready for their first day or simply ending the past three months of BBQs, warm weather, spur of the moment travel and (relatively) carefree living.

No matter how many times you’ve revised your skincare routine, there is always room for improvement. The skin concerns that plagued you as a young adult, have likely given way to new concerns as you’ve aged. This means that your routine should always be evolving and adapting to fit your current needs. Just because one product worked for you in the past, doesn’t mean it will continue working for you forever.

As our skin cells regenerate in their normal life cycle, old/dead cells naturally slough away, giving way to new cells. This natural process slows down as we age, causing dead cells to build up on skin’s surface, resulting in dry and dull looking skin.

You already know about the basics on why Glo Skin Beauty loves primers (if you don’t, click here!) but maybe you’re not convinced why you should really use them. With six different options, priming, and even block priming, have never been easier. To help you see the priming light, we’re breaking down the top 5 ways primers will change your beauty routine.

Summer is in full swing and so are our New Arrivals! Here at Glo Skin Beauty, we are constantly developing new products to fit your needs, in addition to working on ways to update the products you know and love to produce even better results. We have lots of new additions for summer including new lipstick shades and a brand new product category!

Nothing says summer quite like a patio. Whether you limit your outdoor time to sitting outside for brunch or plan your whole day around a backyard BBQ, there’s a high chance you’ll experience at least a slight perspiration. During the warmer months, this slight glisten (or full on sweat) is inevitable but your makeup doesn’t have to suffer. Take a look at our top 9 tips for patio-proofing your beauty routine but remember, try and embrace the heat, it is summer after all.

With summer in full swing, the topic of packing for vacations has become more and more common around the office. There are so many amazing products in our repertoire, making it hard to know which to bring with us and which to leave home. For the extreme beauty junkies, deciding which products to pack feels a little like picking our favorite child.

When you're in the mood to #treatyoself, what does your budget allow for? Do you like to save up for an occasional big spend or would you rather pick up more frequent, lower priced items?

April showers bring May flowers and they also bring May New Arrivals! Here at Glo Skin Beauty we are constantly developing new products to fit your needs, in addition to working on ways to update the products you know and love to produce even better results. We have lots of new SPF products- perfect as we enter the summer months (and for year-round protection). Additionally, a few of our current products have updates to formulas and claims and we even have new products for our professionals!

We have a lot to thank Moms for: our good genes, our diligent skincare routine and the sound advice to never let us pluck our eyebrows too thin. Yet every Mother’s Day, it’s a struggle to find the perfect gift to thank them for everything they do. Instead of picking up a last minute card and floral arrangement, spoil them with something that will make them feel great about themselves, like a personalized skincare item or mineral makeup treat!

April is without a doubt a ‘spring’ month, but with all the rainy days, it can seem a little more gloomy than one would hope. If you’re struggling to get into the springtime mood and not yet ready to break out your pastels and florals, we suggest looking at our Bon Voyage Eye Shadow Quad to achieve an easy spring eye shadow look. It’s the perfect neutral palette to complement any skin tone, with hints of cream, blush, taupe and brown. Use one or two colors for a simple wash over the eye lids or amp it up for a softer version of your favorite smokey eye.

With the fairly recent rise in #InstaBrows, it should come as no surprise that the brows are an incredibly important feature of the face. Aside from their health benefits (keeping sweat, water and debris out of your eyes), eyebrows are vital to conveying emotion through nonverbal communication.
