3 Step Glow-Up Ritual For Women 30+

Ever caught yourself scrolling through Instagram, wondering how everyone else seems to have that “just-back-from-vacation” glow—while your skin looks more “just-survived-a-week-of-late-nights-and-hot-flashes”? Trust me, you’re not alone. The truth is, glowing skin isn’t just about luck or good lighting. It’s about giving your skin what it needs most—especially during seasons of change like perimenopause and menopause. Hormones may dip, collagen may slow, and hydration may take a hit, but here’s the good news: you can still reclaim that radiant, dewy skin with the right steps. I like to call it the Glow Trifecta: exfoliation, hydration, and protection. Let’s break it down together. Exfoliation – Out with the Old Here’s a skin fact that doesn’t get enough attention: as we age, skin cell turnover slows way down. That means dead skin cells hang out longer than they should, leaving your complexion looking dull, rough, and tired. Not exactly the glow-up we’re after.Exfoliation helps clear away that buildup, unclogs pores, and allows your skin to better absorb all the good stuff you layer on afterward. A gentle but effective option? The AHA-Mazing Clean Gel Cleanser. It uses alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to nudge along cell turnover without stripping your skin. Think of it as a reset button—your skin feels smoother, looks fresher, and is ready for step two. Quick Tips for Exfoliation: Two to three times a week is plenty—don’t overdo it. Use circular motions and let the cleanser work (no harsh scrubbing needed). Always follow with hydration and SPF.   Hydration – Quench Your Thirsty Skin Dehydrated skin is one of the fastest ways to look dull and tired. And if you’re navigating hormone shifts, dryness can become a daily battle. Hydration is where your glow really comes alive. This is where serums shine—literally. The Glow Getter 3 Triple Vitamin C Serum is a powerhouse that brightens, firms, and protects. Vitamin C is one of the most trending skincare ingredients for a reason—it helps tackle uneven tone while delivering antioxidant support against daily stressors. Once your serum has had a moment to sink in, lock it all in with moisturizer. The Daily Infusion Moisturizer is a perfect option for long-lasting hydration that keeps your skin barrier happy. It’s lightweight, nourishing, and gives you that plump, dewy finish we’re all chasing. Hydration Hacks: Apply serums to slightly damp skin—it boosts absorption. Don’t skip moisturizer, even if you lean oily. Hydrate from the inside too—water counts, but so does a balanced diet. Protection – Keep the Glow Safe Now that you’ve worked hard to exfoliate and hydrate, you need to protect your results. Skipping this step is like cleaning your house and then leaving the windows open in a dust storm. Sunscreen is your non-negotiable. Every. Single. Day. Even when it’s cloudy, even when you’re just running errands, UV rays can damage collagen, accelerate aging, and rob you of your glow. Pairing SPF with vitamin C gives you a one-two punch against free radicals and environmental stressors. Remember: protection isn’t just about preventing future damage. It’s about preserving the radiance you’ve worked so hard to create. Why This Works: The Science-y Bit Here’s the quick breakdown of the Glow Trifecta: Exfoliation clears away dullness by boosting skin cell turnover. Hydration plumps and smooths, softening lines and adding bounce. Protection shields your glow from sun and environmental stressors. Together, these three steps create skin that looks and feels radiant—not just temporarily, but long-term. Making It Your Own Your glow-up routine doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. The goal is consistency, not perfection. Some days you’ll have the energy for the full trifecta; other days, maybe it’s just cleanser and moisturizer—and that’s okay. What matters most is showing up for your skin regularly. And honestly? For yourself. Glowing, dewy skin isn’t about chasing youth —it’s about celebrating the skin you’re in today. With the right tools, like  AHA-Mazing Clean Gel Cleanser, Glow Getter 3 Triple Vitamin C Serum, and Daily Infusion Moisturizer,  your routine becomes less about covering up and more about revealing what’s already there: healthy, resilient, radiant skin.So this weekend, give the Glow Trifecta a try. Your skin deserves it—and so do you.

Types of Cleansers - Which One is Best for You?

With so many different types of cleansers available today—how can you decide which is right for you? It comes down to two main factors: Your skin type Your preference Shop Cleansers Which Cleanser is Best? The best cleanser is the one that works for you! There are lots of options and you may have to experiment before you find one that’s right for your skin. In general, 5 main types of cleansers are available today: 1. Cream Of all the types of cleansers, cream cleansers tend to be the most moisturizing. They work well in drier climates and are ideal for drier skin types. They are also a great choice for the cooler months when humidity drops and skin requires more moisture. Cream cleansers don’t strip away skin’s natural oils so tend to offer mild, gentle cleansing. Our Cloud Nine Foaming Cleansing Crème is a gentle, foaming cleanser, that not only cleans, but also moisturizes and protects skin. Rich with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients, it soothes aging and sensitive skin, while delivering a healthy glow to all skin types. It is paraben-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free, gluten-free and vegan. 2. Gel Usually lighter in texture than most other types of cleansers, gel cleansers are often foaming as well. They may contain actives including alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or salicylic acid and are ideal for combination to oilier skin types, but all skin types can benefit from gel cleansers if they can be tolerated. Our AHA-Mazing Clean Gel contains a triple combination of AHAs helping to exfoliate skin. Light foaming action cleans without drying and the refreshing peppermint scent (from essential oils) helps to revive the senses. 3. Cleansing Oil or Balm While it may seem counterintuitive to cleanse with oil, cleansing oils (liquid) or balms (solid) work like ‘magnets’ to attract surface impurities including dirt and sebum. They may contain a mild foaming agent to help with rinse off, or may be removed with warm water and a washcloth. Best for normal to dry skin types, even combination and oily skin types can use this type of cleanser. Often used as the first step in the ‘double cleansing’ method, I love cleansing oils and balms for their ability to remove make-up. 4. Micellar Water If you’re a no nonsense kind of person, a micellar water may be just what you’re looking for. These water-based, non-soap treatments are made up of tiny molecules called micelles that attract dirt and debris. They do this without disturbing the skin’s natural oils. No scrubbing is involved making them a great choice for sensitive skin types especially. They are excellent for removing make-up. 5. Powder Powder cleansers contain a dry mixture of oil-absorbing and exfoliating granules. They are designed to be mixed with water to cleanse and work to exfoliate, leaving skin feeling smooth afterwards. Ideal for combination and oily skin types. The Types of Cleansers for You Cleansers are an important part of any skin care routine because they not only help to remove dirt, oil and make-up, they also prep the skin to better absorb treatments that are applied afterward. Cleansing should definitely be done at night, but for the most part, is considered an optional step in the morning. The great thing is that you don’t have to stick with just ONE cleanser. Depending on your skin type and your environment, you may have a different one for morning and night; summer and winter. What do I like? I love switching up an exfoliating foaming cleanser with a milder foaming one. And I also love using cleansing oils, but they need to be rinseable. What’s your favourite type of cleanser?
