Before Sophie found GLOW Beauty Bar, her skincare routine looked... familiar. Like many busy professionals juggling meetings, Pilates, and weekend errands at Sherway, she did her best but even the most glow-obsessed among us can fall into habits that hold our skin back.

Since starting her personalized treatment plan at GLOW, Sophie’s skin (and confidence) has completely transformed. Here are 3 things she no longer does and what she’s doing instead:


❌ Mistake #1: Skipping SPF Unless It’s “Sunny” What she used to think: “If it’s cloudy or I’m just working from home, I don’t really need sunscreen, right?”

What she knows now: UV rays don’t take days off. They come through clouds, windows, and compromise the progress made from treatments and skincare.

What changed: Her GLOW aesthetician helped her understand that SPF isn’t just for the beach, it’s a daily essential. Now, Sophie applies her medical-grade sunscreen every morning without question. It protects her skin, her results, and brings a new layer of confidence to her day

❌ Mistake #2: Falling Asleep Without Washing Her Face What she used to think: “I’m exhausted. A makeup wipe is good enough.”

What she knows now: Skin does its best work overnight but only when it’s clean. Wipes don’t actually cleanse; they leave residue behind and block skin from renewing properly.

What changed: Now, Sophie treats her evening cleanse as a reset. She uses a botanical cleansing oil followed by a gentle second cleanser, both recommended by her GLOW aesthetician. It’s become a calming part of her routine, a quiet moment of joy to end the day.


❌ Mistake #3: Chasing Trends Instead of Consistency What she used to think: “If this serum went viral on TikTok, it has to work, right?”

What she knows now: Trendy products don’t equal tailored care. Her skin needs consistency, not chaos.

What changed: With a customized treatment plan built just for her, Sophie now follows a skincare routine that’s rooted in real results. No more guesswork, just a clear path to glowing, healthy skin. The joy is in knowing exactly what works for her.


Sophie’s Glow Advice? “Stop guessing. Let the pros take the wheel. My skin has never looked better, and I feel more confident showing up in every area of my life, bare-faced and bold!”

Looking for some tips and tricks on how to get smooth, acne free and healthy looking skin?


Of course you can always book an appointment for a FREE virtual consultation or book appointments for a facial to help. But here are some tips on how to maintain your perfect skin:


1. Hydrate


We cannot stress this enough, keeping hydrated during all seasons is very important. Just apply a hydrating serum AND moisturizer to your face, once in the morning and once at night. And don’t forget to hydrate your cells from the inside too by drinking lots of water throughout the day.

2. SPF


It is very important to protect your skin from the sun. Over-exposure to the sun is the fastest way to get irreversible skin damage. Not only does applying sunscreen reduce skin aging and uneven skin tone but it also helps protect you from skin cancer. Make sure you are wearing products with SPF under your makeup all year long.

3. Have a Skincare Routine


Having a skincare routine is essential in creating healthy skin. But you need to make sure it is tailored to your skin type. Need advice on what products to use? Try a FREE virtual consultation.


4. Healthy Diet


A healthy diet is great for our overall health and “we are what we eat” when it comes to our skin. It is important to each for antioxidant- rich foods such as tomatoes, berries and oranges for all the added skin benefits. Stay away from packaged foods like cookies or food with excess sugar.


5. Get Sleep


We know it is difficult to sometimes get 8+ hours of sleep because life gets in the way. But managing stress and getting a good amount of sleep does wonders for your skin.


Let us know which tips you are going to integrate into your life.
