I am going to let you in on the least secret secret in our house. Every night, after the kids are finally down and the kitchen is finally quiet, I wash my face and give my skin a few drops of the Glow Hydrating Oil. I am a mom in my 40s, I have tried my share of things over the years, and I can tell you plainly: nothing has made my skin glow like this. Not the fancy department store bottles, not the twelve-step routines. This one little oil, used faithfully, has done more for my skin than anything else I have ever used.
It is for everyone, and it is a treat for your face
The Glow Hydrating Oil was made to be an all-over product, and it truly is. It seals in moisture on arms and legs, tames frizz and brings shine to coils and kinks, softens cuticles, and smooths a few drops over damp hair after wash day. But I will be honest with you about the way I love it best: as the final, quiet step for my face at night. A few drops pressed into damp skin, and that is the whole routine. The glow in the morning is what keeps me loyal.
Why women buy it in batches
Here is the part that always makes me smile: we are nearly always sold out. Women buy the Glow Hydrating Oil in batches, two and three and four bottles at a time, to keep it on hand year round. I understand completely, because I do the same thing. When you find a product that works this reliably, you do not want to face the month without it. If you have ever ordered one and found it gone the next visit, that is why, and I am sorry, and also, thank you, because a product that sells itself out is the best compliment a small maker can get.
What makes it work
Like everything in our line, the oil is simple on purpose: plant-based oils chosen with our partners, nothing harsh, nothing you have to think twice about. It is the same care we built for our children's skin, sized up for the grown-ups in the family. Parents spend so much time taking care of everyone else. This is the product that says, very quietly, you are allowed to be taken care of too.
How to use it
- On your face: a few drops pressed into clean, damp skin at night. That's it. That's the routine.
- On your body: smooth over damp skin after the bath to seal in moisture.
- On your hair: a few drops on the ends, or over your leave-in, for shine and frizz control.
- In winter: keep a bottle in the shower caddy and make it a habit before you even towel off.
One last thing
If you are a mom who has not had a moment to herself today, consider this your permission slip. The kids do not need to know that the oil on your nightstand is doing double duty as your five minutes of peace. Inside and out, you deserve to glow too.
