Introducing Glo2Facial: Activate Your Body’s Natural Superpowers
Glo2Facial blends natural ingredients with science-backed processes and technologies to create a professional facial treatment that is customizable, noninvasive, and transformative. Unlike other facials, our treatment targets both the interior and exterior layers of the epidermis to initiate and support the skin's natural rejuvenation process.
By working with the body rather than against it, Glo2Facial achieves maximum hydration and deep absorption of active ingredients. This creates dramatic and long-lasting results – all without any downtime.
We'll walk you through the Glo2Facial treatment and customizations to show you how to nourish and transform your skin from the inside out, regardless of age, gender, or skin type.
How The Glo2Facial Treatment Works
Glo2Facial uses patented OxfoliationTM technology to activate the Bohr effect within the body. This natural process sends a surge of oxygen to the skin, increasing hydration and plumping the skin. While the skin is hydrated from within, the Lite Ultrasound Experience (LUX) uses micro-vibrations to deeply infuse serum customizations into the pores and Detox sculpts and depuffs the skin by promoting lymphatic drainage.
Glo2Facial Benefits
Glo2Facial offers a huge range of benefits, including:
- No downtime. Glo2Facial achieves dramatic results without being invasive or requiring recovery time. You can come in for a treatment on your lunch break and return to work without any tell-tale inflammation or peeling. The only thing anyone will notice is that your skin is glowing!
- Immediate and long-term results. Your skin will look stunning the moment your treatment is finished, and it will continue to look healthy and rejuvenated for weeks after.
- Lymphatic drainage: Glo2Facial uses Detox to provide a deeply relaxing facial massage that reduces fluid buildup in the face and pushes toxins out through the lymph nodes. This enhances facial contours for a slimmer, more sculpted look.
- Natural, highly-effective ingredients: We believe Mother Nature knows best. That's why Glo2Facial works with the body's natural processes and utilizes all-natural ingredients that are proven to heal and transform the skin.
A Relaxing Experience from Start to Finish
Glo2Facial is a powerhouse facial treatment that's as relaxing as it is transformative. It uses OxfoliationTM, LUX, and Detox to exfoliate and oxygenate the skin, deeply infuse serum customizations, and promote lymphatic drainage.
OxfoliationTM
Our treatment uses a patented process called OxfoliationTM that simultaneously oxygenates and exfoliates the skin. It creates a CO2-rich environment on the skin's surface that removes dead skin cells while also triggering the Bohr effect within the body.
The Bohr effect sends a surge of oxygen through the skin, oxygenating it from the inside out. This ensures that every layer of the epidermis is oxygenated, not just the outermost layers. This improves the skin's hydration, tone, and texture.
LUX: Lite Ultrasound Experience
LUX is the key to Glo2Facial's long-lasting results. Most professional facials only treat the uppermost layers of the skin, meaning that as your skin regenerates, the new cells that surface are untreated and vulnerable to the skin issues you sought to alleviate. Our treatment uses ultrasound technology to penetrate deep into the skin barrier, ensuring that your skin looks fantastic for weeks.
Detox
Glo2Facial uses a sculpting facial massage called Detox to promote lymphatic drainage. This removes the buildup of fluid in the face that can cause puffiness and helps flush toxins out of the body's system through the lymph nodes. The result is a more contoured look, healthier skin, and deep relaxation.

Glo2Facial Treatment Customizations Explained
Glo2Facial treatment customizations blend natural ingredients with science-backed processes and technologies to give you healthy, gorgeous skin. Our facial technology is the only one on the market that triggers a natural oxygenation process within the skin, creating the ideal conditions to nourish and transform skin from the inside out.
We'll walk you through each of our treatment customizations and provide the "behind the scenes" information in a way that's easy to understand. You'll learn all about our processes and ingredients so you can choose the best Glo2Facial customization for your skin's unique needs.
How The Glo2Facial Treatment Works
Glo2Facial uses medically established technologies to create noninvasive facial treatments that provide immediate and long-lasting results. Unlike other facials, Glo2Facial targets both the exterior and interior layers of the skin to initiate and support your skin's natural rejuvenation process.
Glo2Facial has three essential stages — OxfoliationTM (exfoliation and oxygenation), nourishment, and facial massage. During these stages, we utilize a combination of proven skincare technologies to stimulate your body's natural restorative processes and allow maximum absorption of our effective ingredient blends.
Our products utilize all-natural, cruelty-free ingredients that are gentle on the skin while providing dramatic results with no downtime. After a Glo2Facial, you can look forward to young, fresh, healthy-looking skin that makes you feel confident and beautiful.
Step 1: Oxygenation + Exfoliation = OxfoliationTM
The first step in Glo2Facial provides exfoliation and oxygenation simultaneously using customization pods and Primer Gel. Our unique, natural customizations contain a specific combination of active ingredients in their suspended state, and these powerful ingredients react with the Primer Gel.
This creates a gentle, noninvasive exfoliation and a bubbly, CO2-rich environment that triggers your body's natural, physiological process of increasing oxygen levels internally. This stage of Glo2Facial provides many benefits:
- Aids cell repair and regeneration
- Detoxifies pores
- Smooths skin texture
- Stimulates microcirculation
- Prepares skin for maximum ingredient absorption
About the Glo2Facial Customizations
Glo2Facial customizations combine ground-breaking concepts in biology, chemistry, and technology within one little capsule. Each customization contains a unique blend of natural, effective ingredients stored in a suspended state. They're activated only when combined with the Primer Gel, ensuring the ingredients remain potent so you receive the most benefits during your facial treatments.
Step 2: Nourishment Enhanced by Ultrasound Technology
Skin is made of a matrix of dead cells (keratinocytes), which are held together by a lipid layer that acts as an intercellular glue. The result is a nearly impermeable layer intended to keep moisture in and harmful agents out. To penetrate this layer and allow the skin to absorb the treatment ingredients, step two of Glo2Facial utilizes ultrasound technology.
Ultrasound emits low-frequency, oscillating heat waves, temporarily disrupting the protective lipid bilayer and creating little gaps. This increases the skin's permeability so that the Glo2Facial ingredients can work their magic deep within the skin. In addition to increasing the overall efficacy of the facial, ultrasound infusion (known as sonophoresis) also provides many other benefits:
- Replenishes natural hyaluronic acid content
- Boosts cell metabolism
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Softens lines and wrinkles
- Smooths and brightens the skin
About the Glo2Facial Serums
Glo2Facial Serums contain highly effective, natural ingredients formulated for each treatment to target specific skincare concerns. These ingredients are infused into newly oxygenated and exfoliated skin with ultrasound and massage technologies.
We choose highly effective natural ingredients to nourish and hydrate the skin. Here are the cruelty-free ingredients we use in our serums and how they benefit your skin:
- Argan Oil: Packed with omega fatty acids, vitamin R, and linoleic acids that moisturize, soften dry patches, and reduce inflammation.
- Boldo Tree Bark: Contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties.

- Willow Bark: A natural form of salicylic acid used to shed dead skin cells, decrease redness and inflammation, and treat acne.
Step 3: Sculpting with Hands-Free Massage
The final step of Glo2Facial is a hands-free facial massage. Our massage is about more than just relaxation, though it does feel amazing!
Light manipulation of the skin "wakes up" the microcirculatory routes and supplies the skin with healthy, oxygenated blood flow. This oxygenation helps with common skin issues, such as dullness, laxity, inflammation, and acne.
The Glo2Facial massage device has six bumps on the tip, allowing estheticians to apply gentle pressure with pin-point accuracy along facial structures like the brow bone, cheek, and jawline. This helps sculpt facial contours, making the face look slimmer and more toned by relaxing facial muscles and promoting lymphatic drainage. The process is completely noninvasive, so there's no downtime required.

Glo2Facial Skin Oxygenation
Skin oxygenation is a process that delivers oxygen directly into the skin. Your outermost layer of skin, the epidermis, is very thin, and oxygen from the air naturally penetrates the cells. Oxygen is essential for the skin cell renewal cycle. You can get immediate benefits by boosting the oxygen in your skin cells through an effective oxygenation treatment.
Oxygenation benefits your skin by:
- Increasing the skin cell renewal process, giving you a fresh, smooth complexion
- Healing acne and reduces inflammation
- Supporting cell functions such as collagen and elastic fiber production
- Removing toxins and impurities that can clog pores
- Giving your skin a healthy, youthful glow
The fantastic benefits of skin oxygenation have led to the popularity of “oxygen facials.” Despite the name, many oxygen facials don’t truly increase skin oxygenation long-term. Oxygen facials are performed with a device that pumps oxygen into the skin cells from the outside. This outside-in approach doesn’t provide your skin cells with enough opportunity to put this oxygen to work.
Glo2Facial’s oxygenating treatments utilize our unique OxyPod technology to create a skin-activated oxygenating facial. Our patented oxygenation technology gently exfoliates the skin and creates a bubbly, CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface. The body responds by sending a surge of oxygen to the skin, creating ideal conditions to nourish and transform the skin from the inside out. By working with your body’s natural processes, Glo2Facial transforms your skin from the inside out and is much more effective than traditional oxygen facials.
Why Your Skin Needs Oxygen
Oxygen is essential to your skin cells. They use it to complete the skin cell cycle, which is the natural replacement of rough, dead cells with new cells that are healthy and smooth. Dermal skin cells, those within a deep layer of skin, also use oxygen to create collagen and elastic fibers and heal the skin.
When your skin is oxygen-deprived, it can’t perform the processes that keep it healthy. Pollution, UV rays, and free radicals all contribute to oxygen deprivation in the skin. This results in noticeable aging effects, such as fine lines, dull complexion, and saggy skin.
How to Get More Oxygen to Your Skin
There are two main ways to oxygenate the skin — internally and externally. While your skin can absorb oxygen externally from the air, it only gets a small portion of its oxygen this way. The majority of oxygen is delivered internally through your blood vessels.
Apply Directly to Your Skin
Applying oxygen directly to your skin is one method of skin oxygenation. This is most commonly done with oxygen facials, although for skin-healing medical treatments, doctors use a hyperbaric chamber.
The hyperbaric chamber is actually the inspiration behind oxygen facials. However, the process doesn't work the same way. In a hyperbaric chamber, you’re breathing almost pure oxygen, enabling the blood vessels to deliver enormous amounts of oxygen to the skin.
With an oxygen facial, the oxygen comes from an external source that can’t deliver the same oxygenation level. Your epidermis receives most of the benefits from direct oxygen applications, and you’ll enjoy a healthy glow from this type of treatment. However, the deeper layers of skin won’t see much, if any, of this oxygen. These layers have a huge impact on the firmness and elasticity of your skin, so oxygen delivered topically won’t support long-term skin benefits.
Increase Oxygen Production From Within
Skin cells naturally receive the majority of their oxygen supply from blood vessels. That means that skin oxygenation that occurs internally provides more powerful and long-lasting results than externally applied oxygen.
There are several ways you can increase skin oxygenation from the inside out. The easiest at-home methods are exfoliation and exercise. Exfoliation and exercise both stimulate oxygen-rich blood to flow to the targeted areas. This method oxygenates skin at the deepest levels, ensuring dramatic results in the health and appearance of your skin.
For professional results, choose a reputable provider that offers oxygenating facials that harness the body’s natural processes to deliver an effective, internal oxygen boost.
How To Incorporate Oxygenation Into Your Skin Care Routine
There are several at-home ways to oxygenate your skin. Processes that increase circulation will deliver a healthy dose of oxygen to the skin. You can add one or more of these methods to get the benefits of skin oxygenation:
- Exfoliation
- Facial massage
- Dry brushing
- Steam
- Exercise
Including oxygen-stimulating skincare into your home routine is an excellent way to care for your skin. Treat yourself to professional oxygenating facials for the most dramatic results.
Spa Treatments: The Best Way to Increase Skin Oxygenation
Remember that just because a treatment has “oxygen” in its name, it doesn’t mean it’s the most effective option. Look for oxygenating facials that stimulate oxygen from the inside out rather than the outside in.
Oxygen Facials
Oxygen facials deliver pressurized, nutrient-infused oxygen to the outermost layer of skin using a wand-like device. This gentle procedure is relaxing, produces a radiant glow, and provides surface-level hydration. However, oxygen facials don't oxygenate the deeper layers of skin that directly support the epidermis, meaning these facials don’t encompass all the benefits of skin oxygenation.
What the Research Shows
The research behind oxygen facials shows that they can provide benefits in treating hair loss and mild to moderate acne. In a study comparing a group that received oxygen facials and one that did not, those who received oxygen facials showed better cosmetic results.
In short, externally applied oxygenation from traditional oxygen facials is beneficial compared to no oxygenation treatment.
How to Get an Oxygen Facial
Oxygen facials are most often done at salons, spas, and skin clinics. Professional oxygen facials cost between $150 and $500. There are also at-home devices that you can purchase for DIY oxygen facials. These range from $150 to $400.
Oxygenating Facials by Glo2Facial
Glo2Facial is different from traditional oxygen facials. Instead of delivering oxygen externally, they create a CO2-rich environment that stimulates your body to send oxygen to the skin. By activating the oxygenation from within, Glo2Facial can harness the benefits of oxygen at the deepest levels for impressive, long-lasting results.
How it Works
The process begins when the natural ingredients in the Glo2Facial customization pod interacts with the Primer Gel during the Oxygenation phase of the facial. In this step, our patented technology creates a bubbly, CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface.
The increased levels of CO2 on the skin trigger a natural mechanism in the body called the Bohr Effect. This drives oxygen-rich blood to the skin's surface and increases oxygen levels in the treated area. The Glo2Facial customization pod's unique texture simultaneously delivers gentle skin exfoliation. The combination of exfoliation and oxygenation from within creates optimal conditions for nutrient absorption into the skin.
What the Research Shows
The effectiveness of the Glo2Facial was clinically validated by Dr. Alex Levenberg, who evaluated the amount of blood circulation, CO2, and oxygen levels on the skin. Among a test group of patients, measurements were taken prior to treatment, immediately following treatment, and 15 minutes after treatment.
Patients showed improvement in various skin attributes such as smoothness, pore appearance, brightness, and reduction of fine lines. 3D Primos imaging showed a reduction in wrinkle depth of 112 microns. Visio Meter microscopic imaging highlighted the results of smoother, less scaly skin, while the Delfin Skin Gloss Meter showed an improvement in 67% of the patients.
Both blood flow and oxygen levels increased during the treatment. The increase in blood flow and oxygen levels in the treated area helps prepare the skin to more readily absorb nutrients and enhances collagen production. The results: CO2 levels return to normal, but the levels of oxygen remain heightened, as does blood flow to the treatment area during the treatment period. This helps to increase the absorption of nutrients for more powerful results.

Oxygenating Facial FAQ’s
Get answers to your most pressing skin oxygenation questions.
Does oxygen improve skin?
Yes, oxygen is essential to your skin’s health and attractive appearance. Traditional oxygen facials are beneficial but have short-term results. In contrast, Glo2Facial works from the inside out to give you lasting benefits.
Oxygenating the skin:
- Increases blood flow & cell metabolism
- Hydrates and detoxifies the skin
- Promotes repair and regeneration of collagen & elastin
Does skin have oxygen naturally?
Yes, your skin gets about 10% of its oxygen externally, and the rest is delivered directly from your blood vessels.
What is the difference between Glo2Facial and oxygen facials?
Oxygen facials deliver oxygen externally through the pores of your epidermis, and Glo2Facials stimulate your body to deliver a stream of oxygen to your skin from the inside out. The external application only penetrates the outermost layer of your skin, while Glo2Facial infuses oxygen throughout every layer of skin.
A Breath of Fresh Air
All oxygenating facials provide complexion-improving benefits. But to get the most powerful, lasting results that benefit all layers of your skin, a Glo2Facial is the clear choice.
Every Glo2Facial provides immediate and long-lasting results: healthier, younger-looking skin, reduced puffiness, and improved skin cell production–no matter your age or skin type.

What is Skin Rejuvenation + The Skin Renewal Cycle?
Are you on a quest for younger-looking skin? The skin renewal cycle plays a vital role in how your skin looks and feels at every stage of life, and its effects go beyond just the appearance of age. Skin rejuvenation can give you that enviable glow, and it's possible through facial treatments that support your skin cycle. We'll help you understand the science behind your skin's renewal cycle and how it changes over time.
Understanding the Skin Cycle + Skin Cell Renewal
Skin cell renewal happens on a timeline that ranges from two to 12 weeks, depending on your age. This regenerative process is called the skin cycle or skin cell renewal. It begins by creating new skin cells in the deepest layer of your skin that slowly move up to the epidermis, the visible layer of skin.
What is Skin Cell Turnover?
Skin cell turnover is your body's natural process for generating fresh skin cells to replace the older, dead cells on the skin's surface. The younger a person is, the faster this process goes, which is why people in their 20s and younger always seem to have bright, smooth complexions.
How the Three Skin Layers Impact Skin Appearance
Although you can only see one layer of your skin, the epidermis, there are actually three layers that work together to keep your skin functioning properly. Each layer has a specific function, impacting everything from signs of aging to how quickly your skin heals.
The Outer Layer
The outermost layer of your skin is called the epidermis. Its job is to protect your body from injury and environmental factors such as pollution and UV rays. It's tough work, and sometimes your epidermis needs a helping hand.
Glo2Facial helps fresh, healthy skin cells reach the epidermis by exfoliating dead cells. We combine this with oxygenation from our innovative customizations, which infuses the outer layer of skin with CO2 microbubbles. This triggers a natural mechanism in the body called the Bohr Effect that drives oxygen-rich blood to the skin's surface, making it appear brighter and smoother.
The Second Layer
The dermis, also known as corium, is the second layer of skin. This layer contains a network of blood vessels and nerve endings, and it's in charge of collagen, sweat glands, oxygenation, elastic fibers, and more. When the dermis is underperforming, which can happen as you age, it results in wrinkles and slower healing times.
Glo2Facial supports the dermis through a CO2 infusion that promotes the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibers. It's a rejuvenating process that helps reduce signs of wrinkles and gives your skin a long-lasting, youthful glow.
The Third Layer
The deepest layer of your skin is called the hypodermis. It's made up of large nerves and connective fatty tissue that help it regulate temperature and protect your organs. As you get older, the fatty tissue of the hypodermis gets thinner, which can give your skin a saggy appearance.
You can help keep your skin tight and smooth with regular Glo2Facial treatments. Our three-step process of exfoliation, oxygenation, and nourishment ensures our powerful, all-natural ingredients penetrate deeply into your skin where they can work their magic.
Skin Cycle Length By Age
The cycle of cell regeneration will naturally slow down as you age, which can result in a buildup of dead cells that cause dull, rough-looking skin. Here is an example timeline of the skin renewal cycle by age:
- Teens: 2 weeks
- 20s: 2-3 weeks
- 30s: 3-4 weeks
- 40s: 4-5 weeks
- 50s: 5-6 weeks
- 60s+: 6-10 weeks
No matter where you are in the skin cycle timeline, Glo2Facial has the perfect treatment to help your skin look and feel its best. Click here to learn more about our customized Glo2Facial treatments.
Skin Cell Turnover and Acne
Skin cell renewal plays a significant role when it comes to acne. Ideally, when a new skin cell reaches the outermost layer of your skin, it pushes the dead skin cell out of the way and takes its place. When that doesn't happen, a layer of dead skin cells and oil can clog your pores and lead to breakouts.
You can remove this buildup by regularly exfoliating at home or getting professional facials. This keeps your pores clear and ensures the fresh, healthy skin cells are visible so your skin looks bright and fresh.
For those who are prone to breakouts, we recommend Glo2Facial Balance. It shields the skin, removes dirt and impurities, treats acne, and minimizes oil production to help reduce future breakouts. It is a great option for breakouts and blemishes on your face, back, or any other acne-prone areas.
Collagen and Skin
Collagen is an essential protein located in the deepest layer of your skin. The dermal collagen supports the epidermis, your outermost layer of skin, by keeping it plump and resilient. Around the age of 30, your body begins to slow its collagen production, creating fine lines and other signs of aging.
Many at-home skincare products, such as hyaluronic acid and retinol, can help maintain healthy levels of collagen. You can also invest in professional treatments such as Glo2Facial which is designed to stimulate collagen production.
To help reduce early signs of aging, try the Glo2Facial Glam. This treatment enhances collagen regeneration, improves elasticity, and increases moisture.
How to Get Glowing, Rejuvenated Skin
Now that you understand how the skin cycle works, you can make more informed decisions about how to rejuvenate your complexion. Look for products and treatments that remove dead skin cells, oxygenate the skin, and boost collagen production.
Glo2Facial is here to help you get healthy, youthful-looking skin. Each rejuvenating facial treatment includes a three-step process of exfoliation, oxygenation, and nourishment that targets each layer of skin. For beautiful skin and long-lasting results, find a Glo2Facial provider near you.

Skin Care + Treatments for Sun-Damaged Skin
The sun is your skin’s arch nemesis. Without proper protection, the sun can break down the collagen and elastin that keep skin firm. The sun’s rays can also sap moisture, slow cell regeneration, and cause hyperpigmentation. And, of course, there’s the risk of skin cancer.
Skin damage from sun exposure, sometimes referred to as “photoaging,” isn’t always visible, but most visible signs of aging can be traced to sun damage. While it’s not possible to totally reverse sun damage, there are skincare treatments that can help you look your best by replenishing your body’s collagen and elastin, evening out skin tone, and jump-starting cell turnover.
Your number one defense against sun damage is using sunscreen (SPF 30+) every day. And don’t let those clouds fool you — the sun can still cause skin damage even on the most overcast days.
Understanding Sun Damage to Skin
The sun can damage your skin in seemingly endless ways, from causing wrinkles and unattractive sunspots to damaging your DNA. Understanding how the sun can damage your skin will help you stay vigilant with your sun protection, identify potential concerns, and treat signs of photoaging.
Visible Signs of Sun Damage + Premature Aging
Sun damage isn’t always noticeable right away. Photoaging starts within the deeper layers of the skin and becomes visible as you get older. It’s possible (and statistically quite likely) that your skin has sun damage even if you can’t see it yet. The effects become visible as you age, leading to premature signs of aging.
Common signs of aging caused by sun damage:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Drooping skin
- Thin or translucent skin
- Age spots
- Dry, rough texture
- Actinic keratosis (precancerous growth)
- Broken capillaries
Sun Damage You Can’t See
Most people associate the visible redness of a sunburn with sun damage, but some of the most destructive photoaging happens deep within the skin where it's invisible to the naked eye. UV rays, a form of radiation, can break down essential proteins in the skin, eventually leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. The sun's rays can also cause oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage and increasing skin cancer risk.
How to Treat Sun-Damaged Skin
There are skincare treatments available that can help sun-damaged skin. For example, Glo2Facial Detox treats and protects the skin to shield it from environmental factors such as UV rays. However, the best plan of attack against photoaging is prevention. The best ways to maintain healthy, beautiful skin are to wear protective clothing, apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily (and reapply often), and avoid times of day when UV rays are strongest.
Wrinkles, Drooping, and Loss of Skin Elasticity
Unprotected sun exposure can cause wrinkles, drooping skin, and loss of elasticity by damaging your skin's proteins, which are essential for smooth, taut skin. The best way to fight this type of sun damage is to use treatments that promote new collagen and elastin production. There are several ways to do this, including:
- Ultrasound
- Radio frequencies
- Laser treatments
- Retinoid or peptide creams
- Microdermabrasion
You can also counteract wrinkles and drooping skin with dermal fillers, which artificially plump the skin for six to 12 months.
Most Effective Ingredients
Here are some of the most effective ingredients for treating loss of elasticity and wrinkles:
- Azelaic acid fights oxidative stress
- Antioxidants such as niacinamide, vitamin C, and beta-carotene help your skin cells repair themselves and stave off oxidative stress that can damage DNA
- Collagen boosters like retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids exfoliate skin and encourage cell regeneration and collagen production
You can find these ingredients in many skincare creams and serums that you can use at home. You can also incorporate antioxidants into your diet by eating more fruits and vegetables or taking a dietary supplement.
Best Professional Treatments
Some of the most popular professional treatments for photoaging are chemical peels, dermal fillers, ultrasound, and facials with targeted ingredients.
Glo2Facial Revive is an excellent treatment option for wrinkles and sagging skin. It improves the skin's elasticity and visibly reduces and inhibits the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles.
Translucent and Thinning Skin
Skin naturally becomes thinner and more translucent as you age, but sun damage speeds this process up considerably by damaging skin cells. There’s no way to reverse thin skin, but you can protect it from further damage.
Thin skin is prone to bruising and irritation, and one of the best ways to prevent this is by keeping the skin hydrated and moisturized. Drink approximately two liters of water each day to keep your body hydrated. You can also apply moisturizer and hyaluronic acid to the skin, both of which help make skin more flexible and less prone to damage.
Most Effective Ingredients
Include the ingredients below in your home skincare routine and seek them out when choosing professional treatments.
- Vitamin C: Has been shown to inhibit bruising
- Arnica: Helps bruises heal faster
- Hyaluronic acid: Hydrates the skin to protect it from damage
- Ceramides: Supports the skin barrier to help keep in moisture
Best Professional Treatments
The right professional treatments can still help your skin look its best despite thinning. Treatments that focus on collagen-boosting ingredients and technologies help bring some firmness back to the skin. Glo2Facial Revive uses all-natural ingredients, ultrasound technology, and facial massage to improve your skin’s texture and overall appearance.
Hyperpigmentation, Dark Spots, Liver Spots, and Age Spots
Hyperpigmentation (also known as liver spots or age spots) appears as dark spots on the skin. It's caused by the production of melanin, which your skin creates in response to sun exposure. Many at-home and professional treatments are available to help lighten these darker areas.
Most Effective Ingredients
- Hydroquinone is one of the most effective ingredients in skin-lightening creams. It reduces melanocytes, a type of cell that creates skin-darkening melanin. It's available in a 2% concentration in over-the-counter products and up to 4% from dermatologists.
- Kojic and glycolic acids fade dark spots by exfoliating the skin and encouraging new, unpigmented cells to the surface.
- Retinoids also fade dark spots by increasing cell regeneration.
These ingredients are available as cream-based treatments that you can add to your home skincare routine. To get more potent versions of these ingredients, book a facial treatment at a spa or skincare clinic.
Best Professional Treatments
Some of the most popular professional treatments for hyperpigmentation are:
- Dermabrasion
- Chemical peels
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Cryotherapy
These treatments all focus on removing or damaging the top layers of skin to promote healing. As the skin heals, the hyperpigmented skin cells are replaced by fresh cells with little or no pigmentation. This helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone over time.
Glo2Facial takes a gentler approach with the Illuminate treatment. It promotes skin regeneration through antioxidants and alpha hydroxy acids, unifying skin tone, improving pigmentation, and rejuvenating your skin for a smoother complexion.
Gentle, Effective Treatment for Sun-Damaged Skin
Sun damage may seem inescapable, but daily use of sunscreen and protective clothing goes a long way toward reducing the accumulative effects of photoaging. You can improve existing sun damage and signs of aging with at-home and professional skincare treatments.
Glo2Facial’s all-natural, gentle facial treatment can protect your skin and proactively address signs of aging. Glo2Facial uses highly effective ingredients to reduce and prevent damage caused by the sun and other environmental stressors, all without any invasive procedures or downtime.

How to Get Rid of Textured Skin: Professional Tips
It’s normal for skin to have some texture, but if your skin has rough patches, acne scars, enlarged pores, flakiness, or bumps, it can cause it to look overly textured. This dulls the skin's overall look, makes it feel rough, and creates blotchiness, all of which add years to your skin’s appearance.
We’ll walk you through what causes textured skin and ways you can treat it at home and professionally.
Understanding Textured Skin
Textured skin is easy to identify because it feels rough or bumpy and doesn’t look smooth. It usually affects patches of skin rather than all of it at once, causing an uneven appearance that makes the textured areas stand out.
Your go-to, quick-fix solution for most skin issues may be to reach for the concealer, but that doesn’t work well for textured skin. The coarse, uneven consistency can make concealer and foundation difficult to blend. Instead of covering up the problem, focus on protecting and nourishing your skin to reduce texture.
What Causes Textured Skin?
The first step to improving textured skin is to understand the cause. Textured skin has many causes, and each presents itself in specific ways. Review these common sources of textured skin to see which description matches your skin.
- Dead skin cells: Dead cells can build up on the skin’s surface, making it look rough and dull. If exfoliation isn’t part of your regular skincare routine and you don’t see any scars, acne, or tiny bumps, your textured skin may be from dead skin cell buildup.
- Acne scars: Acne is an unsightly nuisance during an outbreak but can also leave long-lasting or permanent scars. These scars often appear as small divots in the skin, creating an uneven texture on the skin's surface.
- Environmental pollution: Exposure to pollution can create free radicals that break down collagen in the skin. As the collagen breaks down, it causes the skin to become less firm and can produce uneven texture.
- Sun damage: UV rays from the sun can cause cellular damage in unprotected skin. This damage causes uneven skin texture in the form of coarse, scaly patches.
- Aging: As skin ages, it loses important proteins such as collagen and elastin that are responsible for keeping skin firm and plump. Over time, this creates an uneven appearance in the skin.
How To Get Rid Of Textured Skin
There are many ways you can treat textured skin to achieve a smooth, even appearance and protect your skin from future issues.
Protect Your Skin
Everyone knows that sunscreen is key to protecting skin from sun damage, but there’s more to it than simply dabbing some on in the morning. To make sure you’re actually protecting your skin, follow these tips.
- Choose a mineral-based sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Mineral-based sunscreens provide better skin protection than their chemical-based counterparts and are also better for the environment.
- Apply the right amount. You need approximately ⅓ of a teaspoon of sunscreen to cover your face and neck and about 1.5 oz (enough to fill a shot glass) for your body.
- Put sunscreen on at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply every two hours, as well as after swimming or sweating.
To further protect your skin, apply antioxidant-rich skincare products in the morning and evening, and cleanse your skin with a gentle cleaner after exposure to wildfire smoke or other environmental pollutants.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is essential to any good skincare routine, and it's especially important for improving skin texture. Incorporate exfoliation into your at-home skincare routine twice a week. You can use chemical exfoliants or physical options such as scrubs or exfoliating brushes. Physical exfoliants can damage the skin if used too aggressively, creating more skin texture issues. To use scrubs or brushes, gently massage them over the skin.
To use a chemical exfoliant, choose either an AHA- or BHA-based serum, toner, or cleanser. AHAs, such as lactic, glycolic, and malic acids, are gentle and excellent for people with sensitive skin. BHAs, such as salicylic acid, go deeper into the skin and help treat texture issues such as sun damage and acne. These can be harsher on the skin, so people with sensitive skin should avoid BHAs.
While it’s easy to do general exfoliation at home, you’ll get the most skin texture improvement with professional exfoliation treatments. Estheticians have access to more advanced treatments and more potent ingredients, and they have the training and expertise to use them safely and effectively.
Hydrate Inside + Out
Dehydrated skin can lead to flakiness and a rough texture, so staying hydrated is vital to maintaining healthy, smooth skin. The recommended daily water intake is 15.5 cups for men and 11.5 cups for women. You can also increase your hydration by eating water-rich foods like soup, cucumbers, celery, and watermelon.
To maintain moisture from the outside in, be sure to use moisturizer daily. Select a noncomedogenic moisturizer, as this won’t lead to breakouts or enlarged pores.
Add Proven Texture-Improving Ingredients to Your Skincare Routine
Many skincare ingredients have been proven to improve skin texture. Here are some of the most popular options to include in your skincare routine.
- Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can improve texture by smoothing the skin and defending against free radicals caused by environmental pollutants.
- Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is a powerhouse ingredient that speeds up cell turnover, boosts collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and guards against breakouts.
- Green tea is a well-known antioxidant that can reduce the appearance of textured skin caused by inflammation, which is common for people with eczema, rosacea, or acne.
- Collagen is a protein the body naturally produces, though production slows as we age. It’s responsible for keeping skin supple and smooth.
- Noncomedogenic products are those that don't contain ingredients known to clog pores. When trying to improve textured skin, it's important to look for noncomedogenic products to avoid breakouts, enlarged pores, and other contributors to textured skin.
Try Professional Facial Treatments
Professional facial treatments are the best ally in the fight against textured skin. Estheticians have access to cutting-edge technology and powerful ingredients that get better, faster results than at-home skincare routines.
There are many options for professional facial treatments and procedures that help with skin texture. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, and microneedling are all commonly recommended to treat textured skin; however, these are intense treatments that can result in several days of downtime while your skin heals.
Glo2Facial offers gentle yet highly effective facial treatments to help smooth textured skin. Glo2Facial provides long-lasting results with no downtime because they work with the body's natural processes, such as oxygenation and skin cell renewal, to treat texture from the inside out.

Choosing the Best Professional Facial Machine for Your Skincare Practice
Professional facial equipment is the cornerstone of any skincare practice, so choosing the right one is essential. Below are tips to help you decide which machine is the best option for your spa.
Tips to Keep in Mind When Shopping for Professional Facial Machines
Not all professional facial machines are created equal. To ensure you’re selecting the best device, keep these tips in mind:
- Look for clinically proven results. Research the technology and ingredients used in the equipment you’re considering. Is there science-backed evidence that they’re effective?
- Find a versatile facial machine. Variety is important for facials since clients have wide-ranging needs and preferences. A machine that offers customizable options gives you the best return on your investment.
- Pick a brand trusted by professionals and consumers. Check reviews and case studies to see if other spa owners are happy with the machine and what their clients say about the treatments.
- Look out for imposters. There will always be disreputable companies looking to capitalize on the success of an established brand. These imposters provide knock-offs with no safety or quality control, and using them can jeopardize your business. Purchasing your machine directly from the brand's website ensures you get the real deal.
Meet Geneo X
The Geneo X device has a sleek, sophisticated design and is simple to set up and use. It has pre-scheduled and customizable protocols, relaxing treatment music, and advanced training capabilities. Our six Glo2Facial customizations leave skin oxygenated, exfoliated, nourished, and sculpted — all without any downtime.
Why Providers + Customers Love Geneo X
The Geneo X Facial Machine features three advanced technologies — Oxfoliation™, Ultrasound, and Massage. These technologies, combined with our highly effective ingredients, target the deepest layers of the skin to provide dramatic, long-lasting results.
Every Geneo facial treatment includes these benefits:
- Immediate results with no downtime
- Gentle and non-invasive
- Works for all skin types
- Natural, highly effective ingredients
- Effective and long-lasting results
“Glo2Facial is a newer technology in the marketplace that can treat all skin conditions, and you will see noticeable results,” Nicole Romera, owner of NuAge Spa, says. “It is everything anyone would want in a facial — comfortable, yet stimulating, and super hydrating.”
Angela Caglia, a celebrity facialist and master esthetician, also loves Glo2Facial. "My favorite thing is the results," she says. "I've been doing this for 25 years now, and I've never seen a more effective treatment with no downtime. I also love how my clients can't get over how effective the treatment is and how their skin is so clean, bright, and dewy after. It's now my secret weapon in the treatment room."
How It Works
The Geneo X facial machine uses patented Oxfoliation™ technology, Ultrasound, and Massage in a three-step process to achieve dramatic results. Our six Glo2Facial customizations feature natural ingredients to target specific skin concerns, and all Glo2Facials are performed with the Geneo X device.
In the first step, Oxfoliation™ stimulates the body’s natural oxygenation process, which brings oxygen to the skin’s surface and hydrates it from the inside out. Next, Ultrasound technology uses micro-vibrations to increase the skin’s permeability, allowing for better product absorption and longer-lasting results. The final step, Massage, smooths away any redness or puffiness, improves lymphatic drainage for a detoxifying effect, and further infuses the serums into the skin.
Step 1: Oxfoliation™
Oxfoliation™ is a cutting-edge technology that creates a CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface. This gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin while triggering the Bohr Effect in the body. This natural physiological process increases oxygen levels internally, which hydrates the skin from the inside out.
Traditional facial treatments try to oxygenate the skin by infusing it from the outside in. This has a limited effect since it’s only able to penetrate the uppermost layers of the epidermis. Glo2Facial’s Oxfoliation™ works with the body rather than against it, resulting in deeply oxygenated skin that's dewy and youthful for weeks.
Susan Bruno, co-owner of Coastal Contours and Wellness, shared her experience with Glo2Facial. “We’re actually affecting the deeper levels of the skin to help oxygenate them…That’s why I think the initial glow that [clients] get when they come out is so significant,” she says. “It’s beautiful. And it really does last. It works over time. If you keep getting a facial 4 to 6 weeks apart, you will literally see people’s skin lifting and tightening itself, reducing the fine lines and wrinkles.”
Step 2: Ultrasound
Step two of a Glo2Facial incorporates Ultrasound technology to gently stimulate and condition the skin. This smooths the skin and increases its permeability, allowing it to fully absorb the active ingredients used in the treatment. Enhanced absorption ensures the products can fully work their magic and transform the skin.
As with Oxfoliation™, the Ultrasound step aims to affect the skin at the deepest levels rather than focusing on only the outer layers. With traditional surface-level facial treatments, the smooth skin and healthy glow are quickly sloughed off as the skin goes through its natural cell regeneration. With a Glo2Facial, those deeper cells are treated, so the skin continues to look fantastic even two to three weeks after the treatment.
Step 3: Massage
In the final step, the Geneo X device delivers a gentle facial massage that is deeply relaxing and continues to treat the skin by stimulating lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage helps detoxify the skin, improves blood flow, and helps the face look thinner and more defined by draining built-up fluids. This step also ensures that every drop of product gets thoroughly absorbed into the skin so clients can reap maximum benefits.
Deliver Customizable Facial Treatments
Glo2Facial offers six non-invasive, customizations that are perfect for all skin types. Each facial uses natural, highly effective ingredients to target specific skin concerns. Clients enjoy immediate and long-lasting results with no downtime.

Caring for Sensitive Skin: Treatments + Routines
Anyone who treats sensitive skin, either personally or professionally, knows it requires patience and a gentle hand. There are many reasons why skin sensitivity occurs, but these are some of the most common causes:
- Genetic predisposition to a thinner skin barrier
- Overuse of powerful skincare products such as retinol or exfoliants
- Too much sun exposure
- Side effect of medication
Regardless of the cause, the outcome is the same: skin that’s prone to itchiness, redness, breakouts, stinging, or dryness. The best way to combat sensitive skin is with a dedicated at-home routine and regular professional facial treatments. This guide will help you find the best skincare products and treatments that won’t cause irritation or damage.
Skincare for Sensitive Skin
Skincare for sensitive skin should be focused on gentle, high-quality ingredients and treatments.
This applies to facial products such as cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup, as well as hair products, soaps, and body lotions since sensitive skin can also affect the body.
While it may not be possible to make skin less sensitive, it is possible to improve your skincare routine to eliminate irritation and inflammation caused by certain ingredients, dryness, or excessive exfoliation.
Sensitive Skin Routine
Establishing a high-quality skincare routine is essential for sensitive skin. It protects the skin barrier and helps prevent irritation caused by harsh ingredients, aggressive exfoliation, or endlessly switching to new products. The tips below will help you find the right products and treatments to create a skincare routine that soothes and supports sensitive skin.
Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
Cleansers for sensitive skin can be a tricky area. It’s important to remove makeup, sunscreen, pollution, and skincare products every night, but many face washes contain harsh ingredients that can leave sensitive skin irritated and painful.
When searching for the right cleanser, avoid products with fragrances, alcohols, physical exfoliants, and sulfates, as these are all common culprits in sensitive skin flare-ups. Instead, look for a product with limited ingredients focused on skin-calming options such as hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, colloidal oatmeal, and calamine. Reach for cleansers labeled “gentle” or “for sensitive skin.”
You can also try a face-cleansing product like a Makeup Eraser, a soft cloth that can remove dirt and makeup using only water. Whichever product you choose, avoid aggressively scrubbing the skin. Use gentle ingredients and a light touch to cleanse sensitive skin carefully.
Toner for Sensitive Skin
Toner helps remove any dirt or impurities left behind by your cleanser which could irritate sensitive skin. You can use toner twice a day after washing your face and before applying moisturizers or treatments. The most important thing to look for when choosing a toner is that it’s alcohol-free. Alcohol can be drying and is likely to irritate sensitive skin.
Treatments for Sensitive Skin Concerns
You can use targeted, at-home treatments for common sensitive skin concerns such as redness, irritation, and dryness. Here are a few options to try:
- An oatmeal bath for itchy skin
- Aloe vera gel for red, irritated patches on the face or body
- Hydrocortisone cream to combat skin inflammation on the body
- Hydrating masks to moisturize skin and eliminate tightness
- Moisturizing treatments containing ceramides, which support the skin barrier
- Skin supplements featuring vitamin D, probiotics, fish oil, or methyl-sulfonyl-methane (organic sulfur), which are known to support skin health
As you explore different treatments to find what works best, be sure to give your skin time to adjust to one new product at a time. Two to four weeks is a good timeframe. Trying too many products too quickly can cause more irritation, in addition to making it difficult to pinpoint which treatment caused an issue or worked well.
Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin
A daily moisturizer is key for sensitive skin, even if you also struggle with oiliness. Keeping skin moisturized keeps the skin barrier strong, reducing the chance of damage and irritation. If you cleanse and exfoliate sensitive skin without moisturizing, it can become overly dry, produce excess oil, or become irritated and inflamed. It’s also important to remember that all of your skin needs moisturizer, not only your face.
Look for a facial moisturizer labeled “noncomedogenic,” which means it won’t clog pores (especially important for acne-prone sensitive skin). Avoid fragrances and sulfates. Hyaluronic acid and ceramides are excellent ingredients to look for in a sensitive-skin moisturizer. They work together to plump the skin and seal the skin barrier to retain moisturizer.
Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin
Many people with sensitive skin avoid sunscreen because many sunscreen ingredients can be irritating, but sun protection is still a vital part of any skincare routine. Sun damage exacerbates sensitive skin issues, so it’s better to look for a high-quality sunscreen that is gentle on the skin rather than skip it.
Look for sunscreen that is labeled noncomedogenic and safe for sensitive skin. Also, check for zinc as an active ingredient. Zinc is a physical sunblock rather than a chemical one, and it can help soothe skin. Make sure to use at least SPF 30 or higher.
Tips for Sensitive Skin Care
In addition to establishing a skincare routine using high-quality products, you can also care for sensitive skin by following these tips:
- Avoid ingredients that could irritate your skin, such as alcohols, fragrances, and dyes
- Limit exfoliation to no more than twice a week
- Keep your skin hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water
- Always cleanse skin after exercising or sweating to prevent breakouts and irritation (face and body)
- Use high-quality, limited-ingredient products for your skin and hair to reduce the chance of skin irritation
- Wash and condition your hair, and then wash your body to ensure no hair product residue remains
- Use lukewarm water to wash your face and limit or avoid very hot baths and showers, which can sap moisture from the skin
The Best Facial for Sensitive Skin
Professional facial treatments can make a dramatic difference in sensitive skin care. The best facials can calm irritation and inflammation with advanced skincare techniques and ingredients, such as ultrasound and oxygenation technology, which aren’t readily available for at-home use.
Regular professional facial and body treatments can help rebuild the skin barrier and activate natural processes within the body (e.g., collagen production and faster cell renewal) that will protect the skin from the inside out. They’re especially beneficial for people who also struggle with dryness or oiliness because professional treatments can help balance these skin types.
Some standard facials can help sensitive skin, but you risk harsh ingredients and inconsistent results. Glo2Facial soothes and strengthens sensitive skin using natural ingredients and advanced technology. It provides fantastic, long-lasting results with no downtime. Whether you’re looking for the best facial to treat your sensitive skin or need the perfect solution for clients with sensitive skin, Glo2Facial fits the bill.
Glo2Facial Detox for Sensitive Skin
Glo2Facial Detox is the best solution for sensitive skin. It calms irritated skin and uses antioxidant-rich ingredients to fight environmental stressors, such as pollution and allergens, that contribute to damage and inflammation. It also boosts cellular renewal, which smooths and brightens skin from the inside out for long-lasting results.
During this facial, the customization pod, which is filled with all-natural ingredients, reacts with our Primer Gel to gently exfoliate the skin and create a bubbly, CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface. The body responds by sending a surge of oxygen to the skin, creating ideal conditions to nourish and transform the skin.
The Detox customization uses highly effective natural ingredients without being harsh on sensitive skin. These ingredients are infused into newly oxygenated and exfoliated skin with ultrasound and massage technologies for deep healing and rejuvenation. The facial includes:
- Green Tea Extract - Contains anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties to repair UV damage and photo-toxicity
- Copper Gluconate - Helps inhibit damage from environmental stressors while stimulating collagen synthesis and skin cell regeneration
- Marula Oil - Helps fight free radicals and assists in staving off skin damage caused by UV rays and pollution
- Calamine - A conditioning agent that relieves irritation in red or sensitive skin
- Gorgonian Extract - Soothes irritation and assists in reducing signs of aging
- White Water Lily Extract - A smoothing and moisturizing ingredient that helps balance cell renewal and eliminates toxins to reveal a brighter, more even skin tone
- Horsetail Extract - Contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to reduce acne and soothe irritation

We’ve got answers to your most common sensitive skin questions.
What should I avoid if I have sensitive skin?
Avoid products with long ingredient lists and those that include fragrances, sulfates, alcohol, and dyes.

What is the best facial treatment for sensitive skin?
The best facial for sensitive skin is one that uses gentle, antioxidant-rich ingredients that are known to soothe irritation and inflammation. The Glo2Facial Detox customization is specifically formulated to alleviate sensitive skin issues while using the body’s natural oxygenation process to heal skin from the inside out. Glo2Facial’s unique method of exfoliation does not include any pulling or tugging on the skin so it is suitable and comfortable for sensitive skin.

Anti-Aging Skincare: Routine + Treatments
With age comes wisdom — and wrinkles. As you get older, your skin naturally changes. The body produces less collagen and sebum, making the skin thinner and prone to wrinkles and dryness. Age spots, or lentigos, show up in areas exposed to sun damage and create an uneven skin tone.
There are many options available to keep skin looking its best for as long as possible. A daily at-home skincare regimen that’s supplemented with regular spa treatments is essential to maintaining healthy, aging skin. Professional treatments become increasingly important as your skin ages because they can provide the most advanced and effective anti-aging treatments.
Treating mature skin, whether for yourself or for your skincare clients, requires careful product consideration. It’s essential to select treatments and products that won’t cause damage or require a lot of downtime, as aging skin is slower to repair itself. This article will help you understand common concerns for mature skin and how to create the best anti-aging skincare routine.
Skincare for Aging Skin
As skin ages, it’s prone to wrinkles, age spots, dryness, rough texture, hyperpigmentation, and sagginess. Maintaining a high-quality skincare routine that changes with age is the best defense against these signs of aging.
Keep in mind that aging also affects the skin on the body, not just facial skin. Adding regular body treatments and products is an important part of an effective anti-aging skincare regimen.
Anti-Aging Skincare Routine
Following a daily anti-aging routine will slow down signs of aging and treat current skin conditions. It’s important to observe changes in the skin as it ages and adapt the routine to meet new needs.
Cleanser for Aging Skin
Mature skin needs a gentle cleanser that replenishes moisture rather than strips it away. Cream- or oil-based cleansers are great options. Stay away from cleansers designed to reduce acne or exfoliate the skin since those contain specialized ingredients that can be too harsh to use regularly on mature skin.
You can also try double-cleansing, which involves washing the face with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser like micellar water. This is especially effective for makeup wearers, as makeup is lipophilic, meaning it’s dissolved with oil rather than water.
Toner for Aging Skin
Alcohol-free toner is the best option for aging skin, as alcohol can be overly drying. While toner is an optional step in a skincare routine, you can use it twice a day to help remove any dirt or impurities left behind by your cleanser. To boost the benefits of toner, look for one that contains skin-soothing ingredients such as green tea extract, aloe vera, or colloidal oatmeal.
Anti-Aging Treatments for Mature Skin Concerns
Many daily at-home treatments are available to treat mature skin issues such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. When looking for serums and other treatments to use at home, keep these anti-aging ingredients in mind:
- Retinyl Palmitate: A mild form of retinol found in its natural state, which helps even skin tone and reduces sun damage
- Willow bark: A natural form of salicylic acid used to shed dead skin cells to help even out skin texture
- Peptides - An amino acid that stimulates the body to produce more collagen
- Hyaluronic acid - Excellent for hydration, which helps plump the skin and makes fine lines less noticeable
- Vitamin C - Protects from free radicals and improves the look of wrinkles and uneven texture
- Green tea extract - A quality antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that evens skin tone
Moisturizer for Aging Skin
As you get older, your body slows production of sebum, an oil needed to keep your skin moisturized and protected from friction. This is why your skin may have become drier and feel more sensitive than it used to. Even if you struggle with oiliness, it’s still important to keep skin moisturized to maintain a strong skin barrier and reduce signs of aging.
When choosing a moisturizer for mature skin, look for products labeled “noncomedogenic,” which means they won’t clog pores. We recommend selecting three moisturizers — a light option for daytime (bonus points if it has SPF 30+); a thicker, more intensive moisturizer for nighttime use; and one for your body.
Here are some of the best moisturizer ingredients for aging skin:
- Ceramides: Strengthens the skin barrier to keep moisture from escaping
- Hyaluronic acid: Can hold 1,000 times its weight in water, helping hydrate and plump the skin
- Glycerin: Another powerhouse ingredient for deep hydration
- Niacinamide: Great for improving hyperpigmentation such as age spots
Sunscreen for Aging Skin
Nothing ages your skin faster than unprotected UV exposure. To avoid further signs of aging, it’s essential to protect your skin from sun damage every day. Mature skin benefits from a sunscreen that is moisturizing and noncomedogenic, with an SPF of at least 30. It’s also best to choose a physical sunscreen rather than a chemical one, which can be harsh on your skin. Look for zinc or titanium oxide in the active ingredients list.
Anti-Aging Skin Care Tips
Here are additional tips to help care of aging skin:
- Prevent further sun damage by protecting skin with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
- Make sure to cleanse skin thoroughly and exfoliate gently
- Choose products with the right ingredients (e.g., ceramides, hyaluronic acid, mild retinols, vitamin C)
- Keep your skin hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water
- Minimize pulling on the skin while cleansing or applying makeup or skincare products
The Best Anti-Aging Facial Treatment
Professional anti-aging facial treatments are the best defense against signs of aging. These treatments are performed by experts using the latest technologies and the most transformative ingredients, making them an essential part of your overall anti-aging skincare routine. Schedule a professional facial about every four to six weeks to see the best results.
For skincare professionals, it’s important to find the most appropriate treatment for your clients’ aging skin needs. While some standard facial treatments can help signs of aging, they can also be harsh, overly drying, or have inconsistent results. Glo2Facial customizations are the best option to treat mature skin gently with highly effective and long-lasting results, natural ingredients, and no downtime.
Glo2Facial Revive for Mature Skin
The Glo2Facial Revive customization is the best treatment option for aging skin. Glo2Facial is the only facial technology that triggers a natural oxygenation process within the skin. This creates the ideal conditions to nourish and transform skin from the inside out so you experience immediate and long-lasting results.
Glo2Facial Revive uses these potent, all-natural ingredients:
- Red algae: Contains anti-aging properties to inhibit enzymes that break down collagen in the skin, improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Caffeic acid: Increases collagen production and prevents premature aging
