New Year, New Skincare with Glow Recipe
Glow Recipe have definitely taken the skincare industry by storm, not only for their efficacious skincare innovations, but that shelfie-worthy packaging we just can’t get enough of.
BRAND COLLABORATION: CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GLOW RECIPE.
Formulated with the highest quality ingredients, including antioxidant-rich fruit extracts with clinically proven actives, Glow Recipe focus on making fruit-forward products for glowing skin. Transparency is key for GR, providing full ingredient lists for their clean, vegan and cruelty-free products.
Glow Recipe is built on the philosophy of taking it day by day, skin by skin. They know as a brand that skin changes daily and want to empower us to love and treat our skin based on its ever-changing needs (because that’s life!) …
Desperate to incorporate these gorgeous products into my current routine, I couldn’t wait to try their best sellers for myself to see if they really live up to the cult hype… With the selection of products we put to the test, I’ve curated a routine to take us into 2022 glowing:
The Scent: Fresh, fruit watermelon
The Texture: Bouncy, watery gel
Makes Skin Feel: Hydrated, radiant and petal soft

The Texture: A thin, lightweight water-like gel

Makes Skin Look: Plump, glowy, awake, youthful
Key Ingredients: Plum (3 types), Hyaluronic Acid (5 weights), Vegan Collagen & Silk Protein, Vitamin B5
