...And Wish You Knew Sooner
National Skincare Month is the perfect excuse to skip gimmicks and listen to the pros. Our Glow Givers share the habits they swear by and wish you knew sooner.
Habit #1: Skip SPF on a Cloudy Day? Don’t Even Think About It.
SPF is non-negotiable. UVA rays sneak through clouds, windows, and car windshields. Our go-to is July Sky C-Shells SPF 30 because it’s lightweight and clean.
Habit #2: Read Your Expiration Labels (Yes, Skincare Expires)
Active ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, and acids break down quickly, especially in clear jars. Always check expiration labels and toss products that smell or look off.
Habit #3: Cleanse Smart, Not Hard
Over-cleansing damages your barrier. Use SurfaceMoves Cleanser for a balanced cleanse that gets the job done without stripping.
Habit #4: Hydrate Like Your Skin Depends On It (Because It Does)
Pair water intake with topical hydration. Our estheticians love TidalShift Serum for plumping and soothing.
Habit #5: Hands Off (Seriously, Step Away From the Mirror)
Picking leads to scarring. Book a professional extraction facial instead for clear pores without the damage.
Habit #6: Think Oil Is the Enemy? Think Again.
The right facial oil balances and nourishes without clogging. Our estheticians swear by Goldenslate Oil for barrier support and glow.
The Takeaway
Good habits beat gimmicks. Start here and see our Glow Givers in Pasadena or Los Angeles for facials that take your glow even further.
FAQs
Do I really need SPF on cloudy days?
Absolutely. UVA rays sneak through clouds and windows, which means sun damage happens daily. CloudCover SPF 30 is your skin’s everyday insurance policy.
How do I know if my skincare is expired?
Check the open-jar symbol on the packaging. If the texture, color, or smell changes, it’s time to toss it.
Are facial oils bad for acne-prone skin?
Not when you use the right oil. Goldenslate Oil balances and nourishes without clogging pores — acne-safe and barrier-friendly.
