Benefits of Watermelon-Based Products on Your Skin!

Watermelon products provide many benefits on your skin that are sure to leave you feeling one in a melon!

Adding watermelon-based skincare products to your skincare routine will leave your skin supple, smooth and hydrated. Since these products are rich in malic acid, it is able to remove dead skin cells while naturally drawing in moisture for a steady supply of hydration! Watermelon is also rich in vitamins, antioxidants and anti-aging agents, allowing the reduction of redness and inflammation and delaying your skin’s aging process.

Watermelon is also perfect in treatments to brighten the appearance of your skin which is why we use watermelon-based products within our treatments at GLOW! The PCA Skin Hydrating Toner contains watermelon and it improves moisture retention, leaving your skin silky smooth, making it a must in our treatment rooms!

At GLOW, you can purchase a variety of skincare products, even watermelon-based skincare. The Sorella Apothecary Watermelon Mint Hydrating Mist leaves the skin feeling tight and revitalized as it gently removes dead skin cells and excess impurities!

And the PCA Skin Hydrating Toner is great for all skin types and can be added to both your morning and evening skincare routines!

Add these watermelon-based products to your skincare routine to achieve that GLOWing, healthy looking skin!

Corrective Ingredients for Hyperpigmentation

Our number one concern and request from many of our clients is to get rid of the hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is classified as darkened areas on the face - produced by an overproduction of melanin and can be brown, black, grey, red, or pink. Pigmentation can be caused by the skins reaction to inflammation - wether it be from UV rays, or from a breakout. Melanosomes are sent to protect the cells nucleus from damage. Hyperpigmentation can get worse with exposure to the sun, hormones, heat, or harsh ingredients that irritate the skin. This concern can also be tricky to treat, as it takes time, proper skincare, and treatments that won't make it worse. A great way to measure how quickly you can rid your pigmentation is how long you’ve had it.

For example, you’ve been dealing with a dark spot for 3 months, and you’ve finally decided to get products to help reduce it, typically at the 3-month mark is when you may start to see it reduced (depending on the product and the active ingredient).

When deciding on the right products, you first have to look at the right ingredients. What does the product contain that will help reduce hyperpigmentation. You'll want to increase cellular turnover, incorporate tyrosinase inhibitors, and brighten the skin.

Here’s a look at some key ingredients that are safe for all skin types and will target pigmentation:

• Arbutin

• Kojic Acid

• Licorice Root Extract

• Azelaic Acid

• Vitamin C

• Niacinamide
