If your goal is to feel confident in your own skin; barefaced, unfiltered, glowing , the treatments you book and the products you use at home should work as a team. That's exactly why we love Miracle 10.

What Miracle 10 actually is

Miracle 10 is a Canadian cosmeceutical skincare line, founded and developed in Toronto and made exclusively in Canada. 'Cosmeceutical' means the formulas sit between everyday beauty products and clinical-grade actives, calibrated just below medical grade to deliver real, visible change without downtime. The line is women-led, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and never tested on animals — clean, considered, and effective.

The thinking behind the '10'

Miracle 10's philosophy is that your skin, like any part of the body, responds to being gently exercised. Well-formulated actives encourage your skin to do what it does best: renew itself, and produce the moisture, collagen, and elastin that keep it looking healthy and radiant.

The brand frames its results in a memorable rhythm: smoother, clearer-looking skin in about 10 hours, a brighter and more even-looking tone in about 10 days, and more refined texture and pores in about 10 weeks. As with any skincare, these are the brand's claims and individual results may vary, consistency over roughly 10 weeks is where the results really show.

How to build your routine

One of the best things about Miracle 10 is how the products work together. A simple, effective ritual:

  • Cleanse. Start with Cleanser I (gentle, gel-based) for delicate skin, or Cleanser II (active foaming with glycolic acid) to deep-clean and remove makeup. Massage for a full 60 seconds.

  • Exfoliate. Solution I — an exfoliating toner — sweeps away dull surface cells to encourage renewal and brighten. Gentle enough for regular use.

  • Nourish. Light Serum delivers vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid — lightweight hydration that won't clog pores.

  • Moisturize. Seal it in with a moisturizer suited to your skin — luxurious, never heavy.

  • Protect (every morning). Because the line's acids can increase sun sensitivity, daily SPF is essential. Finish with Miracle 10 SPF 45 — yes, even in winter, and especially in summer.

Who it's for

Miracle 10 is made for every skin type, with collections for Normal/Maturing, Acne-Prone/Oily, Delicate/Dry, and Men. It's approachable enough if you're new to results-driven skincare, and effective enough for a seasoned skincare lover looking for their next step.

Looking for a facial that goes deeper than the skin’s surface…literally? The Holistic Buccal Facial is one of the most transformative, hands-on treatments we offer. Designed to sculpt, lift, and detoxify your skin from the inside out, this non-invasive service incorporates advanced facial massage techniques, including intraoral (buccal) massage, facial cupping, and gua sha. It’s deeply restorative, tension-releasing, and glow-boosting - without needles, machines, or downtime. Often described by clients as better than filler and more relaxing than a spa facial, this treatment targets facial tension, puffiness, and sluggish circulation while supporting your skin’s natural structure and radiance.

What to Expect from the Process The session begins in one of our serene treatment rooms, where your aesthetician uses gentle strokes and tools to stimulate lymphatic flow and sculpt facial contours. Gua sha and facial cupping are used first to lift, tone, and activate circulation. Then comes the highlight: the buccal massage. With gloved hands, your aesthetician gently massages the inner and outer cheek muscles, releasing tension held deep in the jaw and mid-face. This technique helps stimulate oxygenation, support collagen, and improve elasticity all while triggering a nervous system reset. Most clients leave feeling lighter, lifted, and deeply relaxed. Mild flushing or jaw tenderness may appear temporarily but typically resolves within hours.


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

  • Experience jaw tightness, TMJ, or clenching

  • Want visible lifting and sculpting without injectables

  • Are seeking a natural, holistic approach to anti-aging

  • Feel puffy, fatigued, or emotionally stressed

  • Prefer high-touch, massage-based treatments over machines

  • Desire both skin rejuvenation with no downtime and deep relaxation


Real Results, No Machines Unlike topical facials that work on the surface, the Holistic Buccal Facial targets the muscles, lymphatic pathways, and deeper tissue layers that shape your appearance. By releasing stagnant tension and improving circulation, the skin looks firmer, more radiant, and naturally sculpted. Clients often notice visibly lifted cheekbones, reduced puffiness, and a noticeable glow within hours. Results typically last 1–3 days after a single session and build significantly with regular treatments. (before and after)

When and How Often? This treatment is safe and effective year-round. It’s especially beneficial before big events, photo shoots, or during high-stress periods when your skin (and nervous system) need a reset. You’ll see visible improvement after just one session, but for long-term contouring and skin health, we recommend 2x per week for 5–10 treatments and monthly maintenance sessions thereafter


Important Aftercare Reminders To preserve your glow and support your lymphatic system post-treatment:

  • Avoid intense heat, exercise, or face washing for the rest of the day

  • Stay hydrated and sleep with a clean pillowcase

  • Resume gentle skincare the next morning—skip exfoliants, acids, and retinols for 3–5 days

Want to Elevate the Results?

For even deeper rejuvenation, consider pairing your Buccal Facial with:

  • LED Light Therapy for collagen and calming

  • Stimu Glow Boost for hydration and radiance

A Final Word

The Holistic Buccal Facial is where science meets ritual. It’s our most sculpting, most relaxing, and most emotionally grounding facial delivering real, visible results while caring for your inner well-being. Whether you’re dealing with jaw tension, dull skin, or just need a moment of deep reset, this treatment offers a naturally lifted, refreshed, and beautifully defined complexion; no machines, no needles, just hands and healing!

Most evening routines start in the wrong place and most of us never notice.

We exfoliate, we serum, we layer treatments that promise to repair, regenerate, brighten. But before any of those products can reach the skin, they have to make their way through whatever's still there from the day. SPF. Makeup. Sebum. Pollution. The fine film of everything the skin has held up against in the previous twelve hours.

A water-based cleanser cannot remove all of it. The chemistry doesn't work that way. To dissolve oil-based residue, you need oil and the cleanser you choose to do that work matters more than almost any other step in the routine.

When that first cleanser is wrong, everything after it is compromised.

When it's right, everything after it can finally do its job.

WHY WE REBUILT OUR CLEANSING OIL

The Glowtox Cleansing Oil has been part of our shelf and our treatment rooms, for years. When we revisited the formula in 2026, we approached it the way we approach every product: through the lens of the most reactive skin in the room. Sensitive skin. Treatment skin. Post-procedure skin. Pregnancy. Acne in flux. The skin that doesn't have margin for error.

What followed wasn't a tweak — it was a rebuild. We rewrote the oil base, changed the emulsifier, and stripped the formula of fragrance, essential oils, preservatives, and dyes. Bergamot and rosemary, common in oil cleansers and increasingly understood to be sensitizing for compromised barriers, came out alongside everything else that didn't belong in a cleanser meant for the most reactive skin in the room.

What's left is the formula at its most distilled: six cold-pressed botanical oils, one plant-derived emulsifier. That's it.


THE SIX OILS, AND WHY EACH ONE EARNED ITS PLACE

Grape Seed Oil  ·  

Lightweight, rich in linoleic acid and antioxidants. Dissolves sebum and oil-based impurities without leaving residue. Adds Vitamin E and polyphenol protection.

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil  ·  

High in linoleic acid and Vitamin E. Reinforces the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and is exceptionally well tolerated by sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Rice Bran Oil  ·  

Rich in ferulic acid, tocotrienols, and squalane-like lipids. Brightens, softens, and protects against environmental oxidative stress. Quietly the most underrated oil in the formula.

Pumpkin Seed Oil  ·  

Loaded with zinc, Vitamin A, and essential fatty acids. Supports cell turnover and balances sebum. Nutrient-rich without being heavy.

Avocado Oil  ·  

Vitamins A, D, and E, plus oleic acid. Softens, conditions, and helps gently dissolve long-wear makeup and physical SPF.

Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate  ·  

The single plant-derived emulsifier. This is the ingredient that allows the oil to bind with water and rinse clean — without the surfactant strip you'd get from a foaming or gel cleanser.

HOW TO USE IT IN YOUR ROUTINE

Glowtox Cleansing Oil works best as the first step in your evening routine — before any other cleanser, serum, or treatment. Two pumps onto dry skin. Massage gently for thirty seconds. Add water with your fingertips and you'll feel the oil turn milky as it emulsifies. Rinse with warm water.

Follow with a water-based cleanser if you've worn full coverage makeup or layered SPF, or stop there on a lighter day. Both are correct. Listen to your skin.

It can also be used as an occasional AM cleanse if your skin feels congested or you've layered overnight masks. Most days, evening is enough.

WON'T OIL BREAK ME OUT?

It's the most common hesitation we hear at the front desk, and the answer is the opposite of what most of us were taught.

Acne-prone and oily skin tends to be low in linoleic acid and high in oleic acid. To compensate, the skin overproduces sebum — which is what we then over-cleanse, restarting the cycle. The right oils, particularly those rich in linoleic acid, help rebalance that pattern instead of feeding it.

The Glowtox Cleansing Oil leads with grape seed, sunflower, and rice bran for exactly this reason. Pumpkin and avocado complete the nutrient profile. Nothing in the formula is comedogenic. Nothing strips.

THE VALUES BEHIND THE FORMULA

Glowtox is GLOW's house brand. Every formula in the line is developed alongside our aestheticians and used in treatment before it ever reaches the shelf. When you bring the Cleansing Oil home, you're bringing home the same first step we use on you in the treatment room.

It's vegan. It's cruelty-free. It's pregnancy-safe. It's made in USA. None of those facts are decorative — each one reflects a decision we made about how this product should exist in the world.

THE FIRST STEP, MADE GENTLER

There's no urgency to this. The Glowtox Cleansing Oil is here, in spa and online, whenever you're ready to rethink the start of your routine. If you've ever finished cleansing and felt that quiet tightness — the one that means your barrier is asking for something different — this is what we'd hand you across the front desk.

Cleansing without compromise. The first step. Made gentler.
