Glimpse Flush… What is it?

Posted by Jessica in Frequent Questions, Sensitive Skin | 4 comments

Why am I experiencing flushing/redness when I use Glimpse for the first time?
Rather than producing a cosmetic effect—as is the case with many traditional skin care products containing synthetics, fillers, silicones and occlusive emollients—Glimpse formulas allow your skin
to breathe, supporting an optimal state of wellbeing. Glimpse formulas are active, biologically alive
compounds that you may actually feel on your skin the first time you use Glimpse—this can manifest
itself in an initial flushing of the skin. Similar to the slight flushing in your skin after exercise, this is a
positive effect. The flushing you may experience with Glimpse is its own form of exercise for your skin,
delivering oxygen that brings results! If you experience flushing, it usually subsides. However, if you
experience swelling or other adverse reaction, please discontinue use.

    Hi Jessica, do you know if the Glimpse products or the Pericarp oil may be helpful for people whose skin is damaged by steroid creams? This creates very thin and sensitive skin, and I’m not sure whether Glimpse might be useful in helping the skin to heal better?

    That’s a good question! I, personally, do think that the Pericarp Oil could help aid with the healing and rebuilding of compromised skin. I would start slow and see how the skin responds. In addition, I would definitely try to incorporate the Moisturizing Cream for further protection of that barrier. These of course, are just my personal thoughts and a general guideline. I would be happy to work with you or any other individual on a case by case basis. But yes, I do think it would be helpful.

    Why hello again! :-)
    First off, it is very important they reduce any direct sun exposure as much as possible! I know this is difficult to do, but it will help. If they cannot avoid it entirely (which I understand is the reality) than have them make sure they are using a Sun Protection (preferably something that works as a physical block; like Zinc Oxide). Secondly, it’s hard to say that either of the products will restore pigment. The loss of pigment is a very hard thing to counteract. However, being that it is something more recent, there is a possibility that they could see improvement. The best benefit to incorporating Glimpse, will be that it could help with prevention of further damage. My personal suggestions would be to incorporate the Pericarp Oil and Serum. Again, mixing them together (in equal portions) and then applying them (preferably twice a day). Again, please let me know if you have any further questions or if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you!
