Ready, Set, Glow: JLO’s That Glow Mist

In preparation for spring, I’ve been experimenting with some very strong at-home peels to deal with a stubborn patch of melasma. Last night, when my skin felt particularly spicy, even after rinsing the peel off with several splashes of ice cold water, my face was on fire. I raced to the fridge and was greeted by a lifesaver – the JLO Beauty Nutrient-Rich Hydrating Mist That Glow Mist. With just a few spritzes of the chilled hydrating elixir, my skin calmed down and felt refreshed. Recently launched to complete the hydration and glow-getting skincare collection from the legendary beauty from the Bronx, the alcohol-free mist is cleanly formulated with a trio of ingredients for maximum moisture, skin-barrier protection, and brightening. In a base of lightly fragrant rosewater, B vitamins including niacinamide, three forms of hyaluronic acid, and olive-oil derived ceramides pack a refreshing, hydrating and skin-loving punch.

The ultra fine Nutrient-Rich Hydrating Mist That Glow Mist works just as well as a refreshing mid-day pick-me-up, under serum and moisturizer, and over makeup for extra zhuzh of radiance and moisture. Never greasy, it’s light enough for oily skin while rich enough for dryer skin types.


Another new JLO product that’s become a regular go-to in my daily routine focuses on one of the most challenging pillars of any age-disrupting skin care regime – neck care. Creepiness and loss of tone between the face and décolletage requires a multi-pronged approach with deep moisture delivery to the skin as well as targeted peptides to tackle laxity. The JLO Firming Neck Serum That Spotlight Silhouette combines more than five advanced peptides to smooth out the prevalence of fine lines, soothing botanical extracts, and algae-derived compounds to protect moisture levels and the skin barrier.

The ultra-light hyaluronic acid-based serum feels like a sip of water that bathes the skin like a gel serum, instantly absorbed with a comforting veil of moisture to rejuvenate the tricky area. On mornings and evenings when I have extra time, I spritz with the That Glow Mist, followed by That Spotlight Silhouette and a cream for my gua shua routine. In a month, I’ve noticed more snatched contours around the chin-neck nether region and perhaps better results than crazy peels.
