Amazing Face Scrub!

glo skincare employee recommendation:


Shawna Says:
"I use the Therapy Systems Amazingly Gentle Scrub every morning. It really is gentle, yet very thorough. It’s a cleanser and scrub in one and smells like grapefruit, which actually helps to wake me up too!"

101 Ways...


Okay, okay…I exaggerated. But I bet if you tried - or just had enough time on your hands - you really could find that many ways with the gloRenew Serum.

Here are my top ten useful uses that I can confirm it works amazingly for...

1. Start prepping the skin to get the exfoliation going before you go see your derm for your scheduled peel – you’ll see much better results! Use 2-4 times a week for a few weeks prior to treatment.

2.Want more dramatic results after your peel? Continue use at home to increase skin sloughing (though as with anything immediately following treatment check with your doctor first).

3.Are you an oily skin gal? Use this regularly to balance the skin and help minimize that slick feeling (a must-have for warm or humid climates).

4. Sneak it into your man’s skincare routine – its great for his skin too! Men typically have thicker, more oily skin...meaning they need all the help they can get to keep oil under control! Plus, the mild exfoliation from the glycolic acid, salicylic acid and retinol helps with bumps and ingrown hairs after shaving!

5. Just got waxed? Apply this 24-48 hours after waxing (and then once daily) to the waxed area to prevent ingrown hairs.

6. Create a whip. Simply mix a few pumps of the gloRenew Serum with 1 pump of gloPurifying Gel Cleanser in the palm of your hand, rub together vigorously and massage on to your face. Leave on for just a few minutes and rinse.

7. No time for a pampering pedi? Rub on calluses and rough patches on your feet each night. The active ingredients go to work and within days you'll wake up to softer, smoother tootsies!

8. Apply daily to areas suffering from keratosis polaris (kp) - you know, the red bumpy skin on the back of your arms or legs? This works like magic to improve the texture and tone of the skin. Once the symptoms have subsided apply 1-3 times a week for maintenance.

9. If you have sensitive skin (like me who panics at the mention of the word peel), use this at home as a chemical exfoliation treatment. You get all the benefits of a mild exfoliation combined with nourishing and antioxidant ingredients!

10. Just days before a big date and suffering a break out? 2 words - spot treat.

Fyi - The retinol and hydroxy acids in this serum causes higher sensitivity to the sun so make sure you are wearing SPF everyday...not that this is a problem because you are already doing that like you are supposed to, right?!

Now that I've shared my new found uses...what are some of yours?

Whip it....whip it good.

After a grueling 'get your-butt-in-shape-even-though-summer-is-practically-over' workout the other day I realized a whole new use for a long time favorite product (not to mention a great treat for my painfully sore legs).

I was determined to find 30 minutes to just sit and soak in a soothing, hot bath...only that never happened so...instead I stole away for 15 minutes to have a quick pamper of another sort.

Here's my newfound recipe...

Crush a bath whip cube and dissolve in just enough warm water to make a paste. Smooth over your feet and lower legs and catch up on your celeb news/fashion week recaps/gossip girl on TiVo until it dries. Once the paste has completely dried and turned slightly powdery, wipe off with a warm, damp cloth (or if you're like me and you prefer steaming hot, toss a damp washcloth in the microwave for just few seconds. Be careful! Too long and its burn city baby!). Once clean, slather on body butter to keep legs and feet smooth, soft and smelling pretty!

In 15 minutes you've acheived not only skin that is super soft but also legs that are relaxed...ahh....

Hollywood's Hot Rims....



The NEW glominerals gloPrecision eye pencil in Twilight has proven to be one of the most popular items glo has released in a long time! We can barely keep it on the shelf, maybe due to it's press mention in US Weekly Magazine:


Hollywood's Hot Rims
"Celebrities are lining their inner lash lines, but rather than using black, these lovelies are sporting softer shades of navy, plum and gray. The look really makes your eyes pop! Try glominerals gloPrecision eye pencil in Twilight. It won't irritate sensitive eyes!"




Besides the fact that glominerals gloPrecision eye pencils come in a variety of gorgeous colors, they are safe to put on the inside rim of your eye. gloPrecision eye pencil in Twilight is the perfect pencil to go with a "smoky eye" look or just for everyday wear to complement any eye color.

Tried and tested...


If you are not already in the 'cult-following' of Cellex-C...try it, you soon will be.


Cellex-C's patented complex of L-ascorbic acid, zinc and tyrosine has been scientifically proven to visibly improve the condition of the skin, reverse damage and protect it from future damage (meaning whether the damage is done or not, you need this). And because this complex is patented no other manufacturer can legally use this formulation of ingredients and therefore cannot produce the same level of results.


Allure's editors are fans of the Advanced-C Neck Firming Cream to keep skin youthful and sag free - try it on décolleté too to prevent creping (you know what I'm talking about, its the crinkly part on Grandma's upper chest that you've always feared you may inherit)!

If you didn't get a tropical vacation this summer...


....you need to drench your body in the limited edition glospa sheer body lotion in coconut delight to feel like you did!


It is perfect for the waning days of summer because it's super lightweight formula leaves skin silky smooth without feeling heavy and sticky because of the last little bit of summer heat (but don't worry your pretty little head about not getting the moisturization that you get from heavier creams because magically...you do!)


And, the coconut scent is AMAZING! It’s not the sickeningly sweet coconut scent typical of every bath and body store around; it’s a fresher, more subtle take - one you would actually experience while soaking up the sun on a tropical beach...(just talking about this is making me want to check flights for a getaway!)


Word to the wise: the
limited edition sheer body lotion in coconut delight
is only available until its gone...I'd scoop one up quick to keep at your desk for a warm weather reminder come the cold winter weather...
