So many friends ask me how I maintain a glowing complexion at 60—without going under the knife. The truth? It takes a lot of research to find just the right treatments that separate hype from results. I spend quite a bit if time digging into what’s safe, what actually works, and what’s truly worth the investment.

If you’re ready to glow up—without a sunburn in sight—follow this simple routine. Your skin will thank you!

It’s the time of year we tend to bare more skin with summer around the corner! When it comes to sporting a sun-kissed head-to-toe glow without the harmful effects of UV rays, clean self-tanning products are my go-to solution. Over the years I’ve tried and tested so many brands and have added a few new additions to my list of favorites! These toxic-free self-tanning products have impressed me with their ability to deliver a natural-looking tan while keeping my skin nourished and hydrated.

Since moving to Los Angeles about 12 years ago, I've become more obsessed with protecting my skin from harmful sun rays to maintain an ageless glow. After realizing how many toxic sunscreens I’ve been using over the years, I decided to take a deep dive and research cleaner formulations to find out what are truly the best ones.  My latest favorite SPF products have a great texture, provide excellent protection, and never leave a scary white cast on the skin which many sunscreens tend to do. 

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support and for following me! Your encouragement means a lot to me. Over the past several years, I have dedicated myself to building The Glow Girl to empower women like you to live more enriched lives. The platform covers an array of lifestyle topics including clean beauty, fashion, wellness, travel, and more!

I’ve been wearing makeup since I was 16 years old. I remember piling it on and my grandma was so scared when she saw me at my sweet 16 that she said to my mom, “you are not going to let her go out like that, are you?” This was back in the 80’s when more was better!

I’ve been using the Current Body LED Light Therapy Mask for a few months now for about 10 minutes a day, and am so blown away at the results that I decided to post a blog about it. You can see the transformation in my skin from the before and after photos...sure beats botox and fillers!
