Good luck everyone! I can’t wait to welcome one of you into the salon for your Glow Consultation Facial. ✨🤍

If I had to start my skin journey all over again, this is exactly what I’d do… 🤍

Not the 10-step routines.
Not the viral products.
Not buying every serum TikTok told me I “needed.”

I’d focus on the habits that actually make a difference.

✨ Washing my makeup off.
✨ Supporting my gut health.
✨ Keeping my routine simple.
✨ Understanding my skin’s triggers.
✨ Being consistent instead of chasing quick fixes.

Healthy skin isn’t built overnight—it’s built through the small things you do every single day.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the skincare advice online, let this be your reminder: you don’t have to do everything. You just have to do the right things for your skin.

Save this post for later, share it with someone who’s on their own skin journey or tell me which habit you are going to start today? 👇🤍

👀 A little sneak peek… 👀

We’ve officially got paint on the walls (just the second coat to go 🎨), the lighting is installed and there are plenty more finishing touches happening over the weekend to make sure the vision comes together!

Every little detail is being carefully thought through because I want you to have the best possible experience, switch off from the world and relax.

I’m so excited to share the finished space with you soon. Thank you so much for following along and supporting —it honestly means everything. 🫶

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates! ✨

✨ The update you’ve all been waiting for… ✨

I’ve been getting so many messages asking “When are you opening?” I honestly can’t thank you enough for all the love and support. 🤍

I’m currently creating a beautiful home salon that’s been designed with your comfort, relaxation and results in mind.

I’m aiming for an August opening, but I won’t be opening my diary until everything is exactly how I want it. I want every detail to be perfect so that your experience is nothing short of amazing from the moment you walk through the door.

Thank you for being so patient while I bring my little dream to life. I promise it’ll be worth the wait! ✨

Keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks for behind-the-scenes updates, sneak peeks, and of course… the diary opening announcement. I can’t wait to welcome you all soon! 🤍

I wish someone had taken the guesswork out of skincare acids for me sooner… 🤍

I bet if you asked a lot of people that’s what you’d hear them say. It’s easy to feel a little lost and overwhelmed about all of the “acids” on the market, what they do and how they can help you. Stop buying products based on trends instead of what your skin actually needs.

The truth? ✨ The right acid can completely transform your skin… but the wrong one can leave you feeling frustrated, irritated, and wondering why nothing is working.

That’s exactly why I’ve created this quick guide.

Inside you’ll learn:
🤍 The difference between AHA, BHA & PHA
🤍 Which acid is best for your skin concerns
🤍 The benefits of each ingredient
🤍 How to use them safely without damaging your skin barrier

No confusing skincare jargon. No guesswork. Just the information you wish you’d had from the start.

💾 Save this post for the next time you’re shopping for skincare, and tell me in the comments any tried and tested products that you love.

✨ Things are starting to get very exciting behind the scenes… ✨

The products have arrived, the salon is slowly coming together, and every day we’re getting one step closer to opening the doors! 🤍

While the decorating is well underway, I thought it was the perfect time to properly introduce myself.

I’m Gemma – the face behind Glow by Gem. From climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and swimming with sharks, to never saying no to coffee or cheese… here’s a little glimpse into the person you’ll be trusting with your skin. 🫶

I can’t wait to welcome you into a calm, relaxing space where you’ll leave feeling confident in your skin. Thank you for following along on this journey – the best is still to come! ✨

✨ The order you apply your skincare could be the reason you’re not seeing results…

You can invest in the best skincare products, but if you’re applying them in the wrong order, they may not work as effectively as they should.

I’m here to break it down for you with:
🤍 The golden rule for layering your skincare
☀️ The correct daytime routine
🌙 The ideal nighttime routine
🧪 When to use active ingredients like Vitamin C, Retinol & AHAs
✨ Simple tips that can make a huge difference to your skin

Save this post so you never have to second-guess your routine again or send it to someone who needs a skincare refresh! 💛

✨ COMING SOON… Dermaplaning at Glow by Gem! ✨

Dermaplaning is a safe, gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion. It’s the perfect treatment before a special occasion or as part of your regular skincare routine.

✨ Benefits include:
• Instantly smoother, softer skin
• Brighter, more radiant complexion
• Better absorption of your skincare products
• Flawless makeup application
• Helps improve the appearance of dull, dry skin and uneven texture

✨ COMING SOON TO GLOW BY GEM… Microneedling & Mesotherapy! ✨

Microneedling is a results-driven treatment that works by creating tiny micro-channels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response and boosting collagen (up to 400% after 4-6 sessions) and elastin production. The result? Healthier, stronger, more radiant skin from within.

Microneedling can help to:
✨ Reduce acne scars and other scarring
✨ Soften fine lines and wrinkles
✨ Improve skin texture and tone
✨ Minimise enlarged pores
✨ Fade pigmentation and post-acne marks
✨ Boost hydration and product absorption
✨ Restore firmness and elasticity
✨ Reveal your healthiest, most radiant glow

To take your results even further, I’ll also be offering a range of professional mesotherapy serums that can be tailored to your individual skin concerns. Whether your goal is acne, ageing, pigmentation, dehydration, skin tightening or simply achieving your best glow yet, there’ll be a treatment designed just for you. 🤍

Something exciting is coming to Glow by Gem… ✨

Whilst I’m busy getting the salon ready to welcome you all, now feels like the perfect time to introduce one of the treatments you’ll soon be able to book, keep your eyes peeled for my over the coming days🤍

First up, Chemical peels are coming soon!

Don’t let the name fool you—chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to reveal healthier, brighter, more radiant skin. Every peel will be carefully selected and tailored to your skin type, concerns and goals, so you receive a treatment that’s right for your skin.

✨ Chemical peels can help with:
• Acne and congestion by deeply exfoliating and reducing blocked pores.
• Post-acne marks and scarring by encouraging healthy skin renewal.
• Pigmentation and sun damage by fading uneven skin tone over time.
• Fine lines and signs of ageing by stimulating collagen production.
• Dull, tired skin by revealing a fresher, brighter complexion.
• Uneven texture, enlarged pores and rough skin for a smoother finish.

No two skins are the same, which is why every treatment will begin with a thorough consultation to ensure the peel chosen is safe, suitable and delivers the best possible results for your skin.

I can’t wait to welcome you into the salon and help you achieve your healthiest glow yet. ✨
