GLOW Beauty Bar December Member Exclusive: The Ultimate Holiday Glow Guide

The holiday season is here, and at GLOW Beauty Bar, December is one of the most meaningful months of the year. It’s a time when we reflect on our community, show our appreciation, and create additional touchpoints of joy and ease for our GLOW+ Members. This month’s member-exclusive perks were designed with intention: to help you navigate a busy season with more glow, more value, and more care.

December can feel chaotic. It’s expensive, emotionally full, and energetically draining. Most of our clients share that they put themselves last during the holidays, prioritizing family gatherings, work events, travel, and gift buying. Our goal this year is to step in and lift some of that weight by offering benefits that save you money, simplify your month, and add a sense of luxury to every visit. Everything in this campaign was created to give back to the women who make GLOW what it is.

Members-Only Gift Card Bonus

For the entire month of December, all GLOW+ Members can enjoy an exclusive Members-Only Gift Card Sale. When you purchase a $250 GLOW gift card, you’ll receive an additional $75 bonus gift card completely free. Gift it to someone special or keep it for a future visit—it’s entirely up to you. This offer increases your spending power and gives you meaningful value at a time of year when every dollar counts. Simply visit the front desk or reply to our email, and our team will prepare your gift card package for pickup.

This elevated offer was curated to reward loyalty without compromising our luxury brand positioning. Unlike generic public discounts offered elsewhere, this members-only bonus is purposeful, generous, and aligned with our commitment to high-quality care. It helps you plan ahead for appointments you already love while also making holiday gifting effortless.

Complimentary Holiday Gift for Every December Appointment

To celebrate the season and show our appreciation, every GLOW+ Member who books an appointment in December will receive a complimentary holiday gift at checkout. These gifts are intentionally chosen, curated, and packaged to elevate your experience and make every visit feel like a moment of celebration. Simply book your treatment as usual—your festive surprise will be waiting for you when you check out.

This small gesture has a powerful emotional benefit. As women, especially during the holidays, we often give endlessly to others. This complimentary gift is a reminder that you deserve to receive something thoughtful too. It's a way for us to say thank you for your loyalty, trust, and commitment to your skin health all year long. This perk aligns perfectly with our values of integrity, excellence, results, and wellbeing.

Holiday Gift Guide: Glow-Approved Favourites

To make your holiday shopping simple and stress-free, our team curated a list of Glow Beauty Bar favourites that make gifting easy and unforgettable. These items were selected based on what clients consistently love, request, and repurchase.

GLOW gift cards continue to be the most loved gift of the season. They provide flexibility and luxury all in one, beautifully packaged and available in any denomination. Glowtox Body Scrub, one of our bestselling in-house products, makes the perfect stocking stuffer with its deeply detoxifying, smoothing, and glow-enhancing benefits. And for those wanting to give the gift of self-care, our most requested services—HydraFacial, Microneedling, and Carbon Laser Facials—are available as beautifully packaged treatment gifts.

This curated list saves you time, eliminates decision fatigue, and ensures that every gift is elevated, thoughtful, and aligned with our results-focused philosophy. It also reinforces our brand’s commitment to offering premium recommendations, rather than mass-market bundles or generic holiday kits.

Holiday Hours and Member Availability

GLOW Beauty Bar will be closed on December 25, December 26, and January 1. On December 24 and January 31, our team will be available until 3 PM. Please plan your appointments and gift card pickups accordingly to avoid any holiday rush.

Our RMT appointments with Lais are currently fully booked, but members may secure a waitlist spot with RMT Lais to ensure you end the year feeling relaxed and renewed. Demand has been exceptionally high this month, and our waitlist functions on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why These Offers Matter

These member-exclusive benefits were created with purpose: to deliver real value, support your self-care during a demanding season, and reinforce that GLOW is here to care for you in ways that extend beyond treatments. Each offer reflects our long-term vision of deepening member relationships through moments of appreciation, personalization, and elevated service.

By focusing on bonuses, experiences, and curated gifting rather than mass discounting, we protect the quality of our services and uphold the boutique luxury standard you expect. This approach ensures your membership continues to hold real value and differentiates us from competitors who rely on broad, unsustainable holiday markdowns.

What You Gain This December

Members benefit from higher value for their spend, a more joyful and luxurious in-spa experience, simplified holiday gifting, and a true sense of being seen and appreciated. These offers are designed to remove stress, add ease, and elevate your rituals throughout the month.

Cold Peel: Bright Skin, No Burn

Looking for transformative skin results without the sting of a traditional peel? The Cimel Cold Peel delivers exactly that. This professional-grade treatment targets acne, uneven tone, pigmentation, and fine lines using a powerhouse blend of ingredients like Retinol, Alpha-Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. But what makes it different? It’s designed to correct, not to shock. There’s no harsh in-clinic burn or multiple layers. Just one thin, expertly applied coat activates a controlled peeling process that resurfaces your skin over the following days, leaving you brighter, clearer, and more confident by week’s end.

What to Expect from the Process Your skin is cleansed and prepped before your aesthetician applies a single, even layer of the Cimel Activator. You’ll feel a bit of warmth and a light tingling sensation, but nothing intense. There’s no massage or mask, this is a results-focused corrective peel, not a relaxation facial. You will be notified at what time you are required to wash off the peel. Within 24–48 hours, redness and tightness begin, followed by visible peeling or flaking between days 2 to 5. Most clients are fully healed by day 7 and notice improvements in tone, clarity, and texture by day 10–14.

Who This Treatment Is For  The Cold Peel is ideal for clients who:

• Are concerned with acne, pigmentation, scarring, or uneven tone

• Are ready for medium-depth peeling and can tolerate visible flaking

• Are committed to following the full post-care plan

• Are not currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or on photosensitizing medications
  

Real Correction, Not Just Glow This is the kind of peel that works under the surface. As your skin naturally sheds, it reveals a smoother, more even layer beneath. Clients often notice fewer breakouts, faded pigmentation, and a refined texture after just one treatment. Over time and especially with a series this peel strengthens the skin, reduces scarring, and restores a radiant, youthful complexion. And it’s safe for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI), making it a great choice for diverse skin types seeking real change.

Before session After 1 session

When and How Often? We recommend doing this treatment in the fall or winter, when UV exposure is easier to control.You’ll see visible results after just one session, but for full correction, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended. Your aesthetician will guide you through a tailored plan based on your skin goals.

Important Aftercare Reminders Post-peel care is non-negotiable for results and safety. Expect some redness and peeling starting on day 2 and lasting through day 5. During this time:

• Avoid heat, exercise, steam, and sun exposure

• Use only the post-care products recommended by your aesthetician

• Don’t pick or peel any peeling skin—let the process unfold naturally

• Skip all actives, retinoids, acids, or exfoliants for at least 7 days

• Apply SPF 30+ daily, reapplying regularly
  

Want to Elevate the Results? While the Cimel Cold Peel stands powerfully on its own, your aesthetician may recommend pairing it with LED Light Therapy or Lymphatic Drainage before or after your peel series to boost recovery and support the skin's detox process. These enhancements are done separately, not during the same session but can make a noticeable difference in overall results.

A Final Word  The Cimel Cold Peel isn’t about pampering, it’s about progress. It’s one of our most trusted options for clients who want visible change in tone, texture, or clarity, especially when other treatments haven't delivered. With just one treatment, you’re already on the path to stronger, clearer, more resilient skin, no harsh burning, just results you can see and feel.

Laser Facials vs. Traditional Facials: What’s the Difference and Which Is Right for You?

Skincare has evolved and so have facials.

At Glow Beauty Bar Toronto, we blend science and self-care to deliver treatments that truly transform. But with so many options available, how do you know which facial is right for you?

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Traditional Facials: The Foundation of Great Skin

Traditional facials focus on cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration restoring balance and leaving your skin refreshed. They’re perfect for maintaining healthy, glowing skin and are often chosen before events or as part of a monthly routine.

Think of them as the essential upkeep that keeps your complexion smooth, nourished, and radiant.

Laser Facials: The Next Level of Rejuvenation

Laser facials take skincare deeper. Using controlled light and thermal energy, they target fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven texture, stimulating collagen production and cell renewal for long-lasting results.

At Glow, our Laser Facial Collection includes options like the Lite Laser Facial, Advanced Laser Facial, and Carbon Laser Peel each designed to meet specific skin goals with minimal downtime.

If you’re ready for visible improvement in tone, texture, and clarity, laser facials are your next step.

Which One Should You Choose?

It depends on your goals:

• For hydration, balance, and regular maintenance → go traditional.

• For deeper rejuvenation, anti-aging, or scarring → go laser.
  

Many clients combine both for the best of both worlds, traditional facials to maintain surface health, laser facials to transform from within.

Your Glow, Personalized

Every face tells a different story. Our expert aestheticians will guide you through a personalized consultation to match your skin type and lifestyle with the right treatment plan.

Plus, GLOW+ Members get exclusive access to our launch promo:

- 40% off any single laser facial — perfect if you want to try one

- OR 50% off when you book any 3 (mix & match based on your skin goals)
