Treatments for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin needs love too!

At Glow we offer a handful of treatments that cater to sensitive skin types. After an in-depth consultation the perfect treatment options are chosen and discussed with you. Reminder: there are many different types of sensitivity - rosacea, eczema, inflammation, etc. and these inflammatory skin conditions must be taken care of before we can target other concerns you may have such as pigmentation or aging.

Heres a look at some of our treatments that might be appropriate for you and your sensitive skin:

1. Facial

2. Oxy Facial

3. Stimu Facial

4. Dermaplaning

5. Nano Infusion (light pressure)

6. Hydrafacial

7. Medi facial

8. Jet peel

9. Microneedling (light needle depth, not recommended for rosacea)

10. Microneedling 2.0 (light needle depth, not recommended for rosacea)
    

Can you believe that almost everything on our service menu can be customized for you and your sensitive skin?!

It’s also really important to prep your skin prior to getting treatments done…what does that mean? Homecare!

At Glow, depending on your skin barrier, if your skin isn’t ready for treatments we can always get you set up with a skin strengthening skincare routine as a prep!

Supplements Bioavailability

Before choosing any supplement, you need to be sure the ingredients are bio-available. This means how much of the components your body is capable of absorbing and how much is able to use or store.

Not because a supplement package says it contains a certain amount of a particular nutrient, it necessarily means that your body will absorb all of it. Prescription medication, alcohol, caffeine, digestive disorders, and stress are factors that can reduce supplements bioavailability by negatively affecting your body’s absorption of nutrients.

To gain full health benefits from your supplements, you want your body to absorb and use the nutrients they provide as much as possible. There are 4 main factors that will make a big difference.

1. When - Know the right time of the day that is best to take the supplement.

2. With what - Almost all supplements should be taken with food for optimal absorption (there are some exceptions as probiotics).

3. How - Some supplements should be taken together because their nutrients support each other’s bioavailability while others should be taken separately since their nutrients compete with each other for absorption.

4. Storage - Most supplements should be stored in a cool and dry area.

Research and inform yourself as much as you need to feel comfortable and get the best results. Remember that results are not dependent on the amount of an ingredient in the supplement but the combination of all the ingredients it is made of.

If you're looking for help on what supplements work best for you, our Aestheticians at GLOW are ready to answer all your questions.

Choose your supplements wisely!

Introducing Glowtox Tea's

There are thousands of items on the market to correct, fix, tune, replenish and change your skin forever. Marketed items promising to wipe away that acne with one wash or fix fine lines within one week. Some true, most of them false.

But have we ever asked what can we put inside our body to fix these concerns?

Glowtox has introduced three brand new teas that can help you with your stubborn sleeping habits, poor digestion and problematic skin. Each tea is formulated to target these issues by using natural and caffeine-free ingredients! Let’s take a look at what each tea represents and how amazing its ingredients are.

Sleep- Tea

For those of you who struggle with a good night's sleep, try this! Sleep tea is an amazing blend of lemon verbena, hibiscus, raspberry, lemon, apple and lemongrass. The taste is so subtle yet sweet, you can add ice and make a refresher before bed. No extra additives needed for this one! The raspberry gives it a sweetness on its own. Not only is it calming, but the lemon-infused in the tea helps with gut health, and a healthy gut means healthier skin.

Digest-Tea

Digest tea is great for any sufferers of upset tummies and bloating. One cup can instantly soothe any stomach frustrations. And again, the taste is amazing. This tea has a blend of ginger, peppermint, cardamom, lemon balm, fennel, burdock and licorice. Because of the strong agents to help aid and flush poor gut concerns, it also relieves the skin of congestion and acne flare-ups that show because of that.

Beaut- Tea

How great is it to drink a cup of tea but also knowing it’s helping your skin concerns? Beaut tea is formulated specifically for acne clients and anyone who wants to improve the quality of their skin. This tea is made up of a blend of turmeric, ginger, beet, pineapple, carrots and calendula. What makes this tea so special is the turmeric! Turmeric is such a great ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties. For many years people have been using turmeric as a face mask to heal their acne! A small amount steeped will get the flavour just right, because of the powerful flavours, this tea has a stronger taste. A little goes a long way!

All of these great teas are aesthetician-approved, vegan preservative and additive-free, organic and made in Canada!
