mi.Glo Skincare + five tips on how to use serums effectively
1. The “base” is key. When you skin isn’t happy with a product, it doesn’t mean necessarily that you’re not tolerating the active ingredient. The “actives” are things like the niacinamide, retinol, various forms of Vitamin C, etc. It’s a pain to do but… look at those inactive ingredients on the back or box. You can also find ingredient lists online at the company’s site usually. Is there propylene glycol (PG – other glycols are fine), parabens, formaldehyde releasing preservatives? mi.Glō does not have PG, formaldehyde preservatives, synthetic fragrances, etc.
2. Serums often have fewer chemicals. If you have a gentle cleanser and moisturizer you love, then serums are an easy choice. They layer better and typically have fewer chemicals to cause problems. We focus on eliminating as many chemicals as we can while preserving how well it works.
3. Serums layer better. For example, our infinite youth pro serum has a light hyaluronic acid base and a texture almost like water. This was deliberate because it goes on first, then a pigment fighting serum if needed, then your antioxidant, and then sunscreen. You may not need a moisturizer before the sunscreen. You can use growth factors just before or after the antioxidant if you want. Put the thinner one on first.
Crepey Body Skin
Many people think now that crepey skin on the body is just due to sun/UV damage. While that does contribute, it’s not the whole story. The characters in this story are sun/UV damage, intrinsic aging, your internal health, and environmental stresses

Ice Roller Controversy
As a master aesthetician, I must say I am not a fan of a lot of beauty tools out there. There are so many fun modalities and machines I get to work with in the beauty industry, and to tell ya the truth so many of them don’t hold up to my standards. I’m trusted by thousands of people to be transparent and honest about what I offer so I take that into consideration when I bring on anything in my clinic SkinHealth Studios.
I constantly get asked as a medical aesthetician are: “Does this really work? Will I really see results? How long is it going to be before I actually see a difference?”
My answer is and will always be the same to these questions. Consistency is key and combined with the correct skincare routine, the results can be stellar.
But today in addressing the ice rollers I would say, If you struggle with puffiness, redness, dryness, acne, ice rollers may feel good if you like cold skin but is it life changing - NO.
I do think they can come in handy before an event, after a sunburn, during pregnancy, or to calm redness temporarily.
There are two types you can use Metal Vs. Gel
Typically metal globes stay cold longer so they are ideal for those who feel like they need the extra cold penetration. This being said, metal rollers will send that cold temperature deep into the skin and last for longer amounts of time than a gel roller. If you struggle with very sensitive or reactive skin, starting with a gel roller may benefit you a bit more as they are a bit more gentle on the skin and don’t feel as abrasive.
Now lets talk Shapes:
Globe shaped rollers are great for massage around those hard to reach areas like the eyes and jawline. Flat headed rollers will help to cover larger areas like the cheeks, forehead, and neck. Some rollers even come equipped with different attachment heads for dual usage in these areas.
My Best Tips:
* Ice rollers are a great tool to use first thing in the morning when you’re feeling extra puffy and need to drain the lymph system, use after you have cleansed and toned your skin, but before putting on moisturizer.
* Be cautious with your rollers when you remove them from the freezer, especially the metal rollers. You want to let them defrost for 15 minutes or put them under some warm water if they’ve been in the freezer overnight. (Think “A Christmas Story” tongue-on-a- frozen-pole-scene... damp skin plus a frozen roller can be risky.)
* Sanitize rollers after each use. Many rollers have a detachable head which makes this easier.
* If you’ve gotten any injections or aggressive laser treatments in the past week, avoid using your ice roller as it can push product into unwanted areas. If you are ever uncertain of these things, just ask your provider.
Final Takeaway is:
I do not use these at home or in my clinic, but I say have fun with them, but dont set high expectations for a result-driven; life changing tool.

Is there a wrong way to apply hyaluronic acid?
When it comes to go-to ingredients for keeping skin hydrated, hyaluronic acid gets the top spot on the list. AKA “HA” for short, the molecule is a naturally-occurring substances in our skin — a group of carbohydrates that work to help maintain its elasticity. It's what's known as a "humectant," meaning it works like a sponge to help skin retain water and leave it plump and dewy…everyone’s main goal right!?
