There's a moment every woman knows too well: standing at the bathroom mirror, rushed, wondering why her skin never quite looks the way she wants it to. Too dull. Too oily. Too... something.

We created the Glow Balancing Dry Oil for that moment. And now, we're making sure that moment can happen anywhere.


Travel size (10ml) Glowtox glow balancing dry oil

Introducing Our Bestselling Dry Oil—Travel Size

The formula you know and love is now available in a perfectly portable 10ml bottle. Small enough for your carry-on, powerful enough to transform your skin.


Because here's what we believe: your skincare routine shouldn't be something you "get back to" after vacation. Radiant, balanced skin should be the constant—not the exception.


What Makes This Oil Different

Let's be honest. The skincare world is flooded with face oils. So why this one?


Our Glow Balancing Dry Oil was formulated by aestheticians who understand what real skin actually needs. It's 100% naturally derived and 70% organic, built on a foundation of botanical oils that work in harmony with your skin rather than against it.


Safflower Seed Oil delivers lightweight moisture without heaviness. Grape Seed Oil brings antioxidant protection to defend against environmental stress. Jojoba Seed Oil mimics your skin's natural sebum, helping to balance oil production rather than adding to the problem. Evening Primrose and Black Currant Seed Oils calm inflammation and support your skin barrier. And Vitamin E ties it all together with protective, reparative benefits.


The result? Skin that looks genuinely healthy. Not masked. Not covered up. Just radiant.

The "Dry Oil" Difference

If you've ever avoided face oils because they leave you looking like you just ran a marathon, you'll understand why the "dry" in dry oil matters.


Our formula absorbs almost instantly. Within seconds of patting and pressing 2-5 drops onto your face, the oil vanishes—leaving behind only luminous, balanced skin. No greasy residue. No heavy feeling. No waiting around for your skin to "drink it in."


This is what makes it perfect for travel. You can apply it in an airport bathroom before landing and walk off the plane looking refreshed instead of rumpled.


Acne-Safe and Sensitive-Skin Approved

One of the most common fears around face oils? Breakouts. And it's a valid concern—many oils can clog pores and trigger acne.


Not this one.


Our Glow Balancing Dry Oil is specifically formulated to be acne-safe. It's also fragrance-free (no artificial scents irritating sensitive skin), alcohol-free (no unnecessary drying), and preservative-free (because if it doesn't need to be there, it isn't).


If your skin is reactive, easily irritated, or prone to breakouts, this oil was made with you in mind.


How To Use Your Travel-Size Glow

The beauty of this product is its simplicity. Here's all you need to do:


Complete your cleansing, serum, and moisturizer steps as normal. Then, warm 2-5 drops of the dry oil between your palms and lightly pat and press it all over your face. Follow with your daily sun protection (never skip SPF!), and you're done.


Use it every morning for a radiant, dewy base under makeup—or to skip makeup entirely. Use it every night as a luxurious finishing treatment that lets you wake up with softer, more balanced skin.


And with the travel size? Toss it in your bag for on-the-go touch-ups whenever your skin needs a little extra love.


Why Travel Size?

We heard you. You told us you loved the formula but needed a version that could come with you—on flights, to the gym, in an overstuffed work bag.


The travel size Glow Balancing Dry Oil is our answer. Same botanical potency, same professional-grade results, same confidence-boosting glow. Just perfectly portioned for life on the move.


The Glowtox Promise

We believe you deserve to feel confident in your own skin. Not confident because you've got a full face of makeup on, but confident because your skin genuinely looks and feels healthy.


This oil won't give you someone else's skin. It'll give you the best version of yours.


Try the travel size. Pack it everywhere. And discover what it feels like to glow—wherever you go. Limited availability, first come first serve.

Four Big Reasons to Glow This Month


Travel size glow balancing dry oil hero shot

Introducing for a limited time only, The Travel-Size Glow Balancing Dry Oil! 


The Glow Balancing Dry Oil by Glowtox was created for every woman who's stood at the mirror wishing her skin looked more radiant and balanced—and now that same beloved formula is available in a travel-size 10ml bottle. Designed to fit in your carry-on and your daily bag, the travel size brings professional-grade skincare wherever life takes you, because radiant skin shouldn't be something you "get back to" after a trip.


What sets this oil apart in a crowded market is its thoughtful, aesthetician-formulated blend of 100% naturally derived, 70% organic botanical ingredients. Safflower Seed Oil provides lightweight moisture, Grape Seed Oil offers antioxidant protection, and Jojoba Seed Oil mimics the skin's natural sebum to balance oil production. Evening Primrose and Black Currant Seed Oils calm inflammation and support the skin barrier, while Vitamin E adds protective and reparative benefits—all working together to give you genuinely healthy-looking skin, not just a masked version of it.


True to its name, the "dry" oil absorbs almost instantly with no greasy residue, making it ideal for on-the-go use—you can apply it in an airport bathroom and walk off the plane looking refreshed. It's also acne-safe, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and preservative-free, making it suitable for even the most sensitive and breakout-prone skin. Simply use 2-5 drops after your cleanser, serum, and moisturizer, follow with SPF, and you're done—morning for a dewy base, or evening as a luxurious overnight treatment.

35% OFF ALL MIRACLE 10 SKINCARE March 10–14 Only!


Miracle 10 is a clinical-grade Canadian skincare line developed by The Plastic Surgery Clinic in Toronto—and a quiet favourite among GLOW's own aestheticians. What makes it stand out is its philosophy: rather than treating skin as something to fix, Miracle 10 approaches it as an organ that can be trained and supported over time, gently stimulating your skin to produce its own collagen, elastin, and moisture. It's long-term skin health over quick fixes—and it's surprisingly budget-friendly.


Their "10/10/10 Promise" sets realistic expectations: within 10 hours your skin feels smoother, within 10 days you'll notice brighter and more even tone, and by 10 weeks you'll see refined pores, softened fine lines, and a lasting healthy radiance. The formulas are clean across the board—Canadian-made, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and cruelty-free—with active ingredients calibrated just below prescription strength, making them potent enough to deliver results but gentle enough for daily use.


Key ingredients include Glycolic and Salicylic Acids for exfoliation, Peptides and DMAE for firmness, Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, CoQ-10 for antioxidant protection, and Vitamins C & E for brightening.

Looking To Book An Appointment?

We deliver results-driven treatments in a relaxing spa atmosphere, with skin plans as individual as you are. Our goal at GLOW is to deliver superior customer service along with cutting-edge and effective skin treatments to treat all conditions




If your skin’s been feeling uneven, sun-damaged, or just not as vibrant as it used to be, our IPL Photofacial could be the reset button you've been waiting for. Using SharpLight™ technology, this non-invasive treatment delivers targeted pulses of light deep into the skin to break up pigmentation, calm redness, clear acne, and stimulate collagen production, no harsh peels and downtime required. It's a versatile treatment that delivers real, visible results and leaves your skin looking brighter, clearer, and more even with each session.


What to Expect from the Process After a consultation and prep, your aesthetician will use a handheld device to deliver flashes of intense light across the treatment area. You may feel a quick snap, like a small rubber band flick followed by warmth. This light energy travels below the skin’s surface to target melanin, bacteria, or broken blood vessels depending on your concern. The entire treatment takes about 1 hour, and you’ll be given post-care instructions to support healing and results. Redness and warmth afterward are completely normal and usually fade within a few hours.


Who This Treatment Is For  IPL is ideal for clients who:

  • Are dealing with sun damage, age spots, or pigmentation

  • Struggle with redness, rosacea, or broken capillaries

  • Want a clearer, smoother canvas without aggressive peels or lasers

  • Are looking for a drug-free solution to mild/moderate acne

  • Have Fitzpatrick skin types I–V and are ready for a series-based treatment

  • Are age 14+ (for acne) or 25+ (for rejuvenation and discoloration)


Real Results, Not a Temporary Fix  IPL isn’t a surface treatment, it works deep within the skin to trigger collagen renewal and fade discoloration over time. You may see dark spots darken temporarily, then flake off naturally within a week or two. With each session, skin looks smoother, more even, and refreshed. This is a treatment designed to correct, not just conceal. And once your series is complete, results can last for months with proper sun care and maintenance.

Before session After 1 session



When and How Often? IPL is best done in the cooler months, fall and winter when UV exposure is lower. For pigmentation or skin rejuvenation, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced four weeks apart. For acne, 2 sessions per week over 4–6 weeks may be advised. After your series, we suggest maintenance every 3–6 months depending on your skin’s needs.


Important Aftercare Reminders Your skin will be more sensitive after treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2–3 weeks, and always wear SPF 30+ daily. For the first 48 hours:

  • Avoid heat (saunas, workouts, hot showers, cooking over steam)

  • Skip makeup and active skincare

  • Don’t pick or scratch dark spots or flaking areas We also recommend applying Aloe Vera, Glowtox Oil, or antibiotic ointment as needed. Cold compresses can help with any residual swelling or sensitivity.

Want to Elevate the Results? Looking to pair your IPL with something extra? Add-ons like LED light therapy (for inflammation), dermaplaning (for smoother texture), or a HydraFacial can take your glow even further. We also offer lymphatic drainage and custom mask upgrades for a fully tailored experience. Your aesthetician will guide you through what’s best for your goals.

A Final Word The IPL Photofacial is one of our most results-driven services for a reason. Whether you’re clearing sun damage, calming redness, or treating stubborn acne marks, this treatment goes beyond the surface to deliver real change. It's safe, powerful, and completely customized, so you can reveal brighter, smoother, more confident skin with each visit.


Ready to clear the past and reveal your glow? Book your IPL Photofacial today and start your transformation one pulse at a time.
