Regenerate with OIl
1. Cleanse Your Day Away
Before you fall into bed after an exhausting day, wash the day off your face and envision all the negative thoughts washing down the drain. Washing your face daily will remove all those bad impurities like bacteria, old skin cells, dirt and pollutants you’ve collected throughout the day and will leave your skin with a clean, fresh look. Try using glō Luxury Oils Facial Cleansing Oil. This luxurious, high quality oil cleanser will lift makeup and dirt from the skin without stripping it of its natural sebum (oil). It is rich in cold pressed pumpkin seed oil, a great source of omega fatty acids to nourish the skin along with minerals like zinc and selenium which enable the skin to regenerate healthy new cells, making it ideal for aging skin.
"While it may feel unexpected, oil cleansing is a remarkably effective and a gentle approach to beautifully clean, balanced skin." - Megan, Owner, glō Luxury Oils
2. Treat Yourself to a Daily Facial Massage
Start practicing facial massage on the daily. Use tools like a roller or gua sha stone to help stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, leaving your face feeling relaxed, de-puffed, lifted and sculpted. Lubricate before massaging with a good facial oil or balm and make it part of your relaxing moments, like when you’re enjoying your morning coffee or tea. This can be done morning or nights. Steal a few minutes before the house wakes up or as you slip into bed. Check out this great beginners guide to gua sha.
Hydrate with Hydrosol
3. Get Misty with It
Hydrate your skin throughout the day with a nourishing hydrosol spray. Keep one within reach tucked in your purse, on your desk, or on the kitchen counter, for an effortless refresh whenever your skin needs it. Hydrosols are especially beneficial during dry, cold months, delivering a boost of hydration while offering a subtle mood lift with every mist.
We love the glō Luxury Oils Regenerative Hydrosol for maintaining a hydrated, healthy glow. Spritz it throughout the day to help replenish moisture and revive tired skin.
Also from glō Luxury Oils, the Blemish Free Hydrosol is considered an essential beauty tonic for all skin types, from acne-prone to mature. It’s particularly beneficial after workouts and serves as the perfect prep step before applying the Blemish Free Oil. Simply mist the face, décolletage, and nape of the neck for a refreshing, balancing boost.
Beyond daily hydration, a blemish-free hydrosol can help soothe skin irritations including rashes, insect bites, eczema, and mild sunburn, making it a true multitasking staple in your skincare routine.
4. Add a Spa Level Treatment
Are you dealing with dry, flaky skin in the winter months and oily blemished skin in the summer months? Create a balanced skin by incorporating a mask and polish into your new self care plan. Using a enzymatic and gentle face polish gently removes surface layers of dead skin to reveal fresh skin layers. A good mask treatment, like glō Detox Mask, will take your skin to the next level with French green clay and bamboo charcoal drawing out impurities, gently exfoliating, and mineralizes your skin, leaving you with smaller pores and a smoother complexion.
Pro tip: Instead of using water with dry masks, try adding a cleansing oil or hydrosol for a spa level facial.
Positive Power
5. Practice Daily Gratitude and Affirmation
Before starting your day, think of five things you’re grateful for in your life. Try it again at night, before you drift off to sleep.
For ultimate beauty, free yourself with daily affirmations. Positive daily beauty affirmations have been shown to not only change the way you feel about yourself, but also how you appear to others. Replacing negative thoughts and emotions can help you feel confident with a special glow and energetic lift. You can start by telling yourself affirmations like, “I am beautiful inside and out,” “I feel radiant,” and “I love myself,” to name a few. Consider telling yourself these daily affirmations in the mirror and writing them down in a notebook or journal for daily reflection.
