I’ve found that adding a hyaluronic acid serum before applying a glow serum can really amp up the hydration and radiance, especially for those clients who came in last week discussing their favorites… It’s a small tweak that makes a big difference. Just remember, not all skin types react the same way, so always do a patch test first.

I once mixed a client’s favorite serum into their facial, but it turns out it was a self-tanner! One relaxed face later, we had a glowing laugh. @lgreenway45, have you ever had a surprise like that?

Mixing in a bit of a calming chamomile extract can really help soothe clients, especially after a strong glow serum treatment. I had a client come in last week who was worried about redness from a new product, and we were able to turn that around with just a few drops. It made a huge difference in their experience.
