Hi, I’m Ali, the owner and sole esthetician at Glow Studio. With over 17 years of experience in skincare, I’ve learned a thing or two about what it takes to achieve and maintain healthy, glowing skin. Here’s a skincare secret I always share with my clients: 80% of your skin’s health and appearance comes from your daily at-home routine, while 20% is the result of the professional treatments you enjoy with me at Glow Studio.
Let’s break down what this means and why it’s the ultimate recipe for radiant, healthy skin.
The 80%: Your At-Home Skincare Routine

Think of your at-home routine as the foundation of your skincare journey. Without a strong foundation, even the best treatments won’t deliver lasting results. Here’s how to ensure you’re maximizing your 80%:
Cleanse Properly: A gentle yet effective cleanser removes dirt, makeup, and impurities without stripping your skin. Start and end your day with a clean canvas.
Hydrate and Protect: Moisturizers and sunscreens are non-negotiable. They lock in moisture, protect against environmental damage, and keep your skin barrier strong.
Use Targeted Treatments: Serums with ingredients like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide can address specific concerns such as dullness, dehydration, or uneven skin tone.
Exfoliate Weekly: Gentle exfoliation keeps your skin smooth, clear, and receptive to other products by removing dead skin cells.
Consistency is Key: Results come from routine care, not occasional effort. Commit to your regimen every day.
At Glow Studio, I offer science-backed at-home products tailored to your skin’s unique needs. My curated collection ensures you’re using the right ingredients to maintain and enhance your results.
The 20%: Professional Treatments at Glow Studio
Your at-home routine builds the foundation, but professional treatments take your skin to the next level by addressing deeper concerns and enhancing the effectiveness of your daily care. Here’s how treatments at Glow Studio make all the difference:

Advanced Technology for Targeted Results: Using cutting-edge techniques like the Glo2Facial by Geneo, CO2 Carboxy therapies, LED light therapy, nano-needling, radio frequency, microcurrent, and ultrasound, I can address concerns like uneven texture, stubborn acne, signs of aging, and skin laxity. These technologies work beneath the surface, promoting cellular repair and renewal that’s beyond the reach of topical products.
Deep Cleaning for Healthier Skin: Professional extractions and exfoliation penetrate deeper than your daily cleanser, removing congestion and impurities that lead to breakouts or dullness. This process revitalizes your skin and prepares it to fully absorb your at-home products.
Expert Personalization: With over 17 years of experience, I tailor each treatment to your skin’s current needs. Whether it’s seasonal changes, stress, or environmental factors, my personalized approach ensures you get exactly what your skin needs to look and feel its best.
Synergy with Your At-Home Routine: Professional treatments don’t just provide immediate benefits; they also amplify the results of your daily routine. By enhancing product penetration and targeting stubborn issues, these treatments ensure your skincare products work more effectively.
Long-Term Transformation: Regular professional care supports your skin’s overall health and resilience, preventing long-term damage and keeping your complexion vibrant and youthful for years to come.
Why the 80/20 Rule Works
When you combine a consistent, high-quality at-home routine with targeted, professional treatments, you’re giving your skin everything it needs to thrive. Think of it like fitness: your daily workouts (the 80%) keep you in shape, but occasional personal training sessions (the 20%) push you to the next level.
My Commitment to Your Skin
I’m here to guide you every step of the way. From choosing the right products to creating a treatment plan, my goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools for your best skin ever. Remember, skincare isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s a partnership.
