10 Back to School Essentials for Any Age

For most of us, the theme of ‘back to school’ is no longer personally relevant but that doesn’t mean we can’t still participate in the fun and excitement of hitting the restart button on a new (school) year. With summer over, it’s time to get back into the swing of things-- whether that’s heading back to class, getting your kids ready for their first day or simply ending the past three months of BBQs, warm weather, spur of the moment travel and (relatively) carefree living.

Here at Glo, we love the memories that ‘back to school’ brings. Everything is brand new and the opportunity to start fresh on the right foot is completely possible. The same should go for your skincare and makeup routine, which is why we’ve put together a list of our top 10 essentials for going back to real life and leaving summer behind.

Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18

Now that Summer is behind us, you can feel good about transitioning back to your favorite liquid formula. Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18 offers sheer to medium coverage and a gorgeous dewy finish, perfect for cooler temps.

Renew Serum

Perfect for addressing multiple skin concerns, from teen acne to visible signs of aging. With three standout ingredients: Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Retinol, your skin will be smooth, clear and refined in no time.

Cream Blush

We can't get enough of this perfect blush formula. It's creamy and hydrating and stays on your cheeks all day long. Not to mention, the four stunning shades look great on all skin types for the coveted 'lit-from-within' glow.

Moisturizing Tint SPF 30+

There are not enough ways to accurately explain how much we love Moisturizing Tint SPF 30+. Not only does it protect your skin, it also evens tone and lightly color corrects, making it perfect for anyone who wants a quick fix or the perfect primer under foundation.

Contour Kit

Contouring made for anyone! With two contour shades, a matte highlight and shimmer highlight, you can expertly sculpt and define your look with ease. Still not convinced? We provide an instructional diagram to help you understand where to place product.

Essential Cleansing Oil

Erase the day before you cleanse with Essential Cleansing Oil. This should be a staple in your routine, especially if you’re looking to double cleanse. It easily dissolves even the toughest products (we’re looking at you Water Resistant Mascara) and gives your cleanser a cleaner surface to work on.

Precise Micro Browliner

One of the fastest ways to pull your look together is by defining your brows. With a built in spoolie and super thin, wax-based pencil, Precise Micro Browliner helps elevate your look in just a couple minutes.

Eye Restore

This will be especially helpful if you happen to be pulling any all nighters or just generally not getting enough sleep. With active ingredients to help hydrate and address puffiness and dark circles, you’ll look fresh and revived no matter when you went to bed.

Pumpkin Enzyme Scrub

As if we needed another reason to love Fall, our Pumpkin Enzyme Scrub really does the trick. Not only does it smell delicious, the unique blend of chemical and manual exfoliants slough off dead skin cells revealing a fresh, smooth complexion.

Under Eye Concealer

Needing to mask those dark under eye circles? Under Eye Concealer's perfectly creamy formula allows you to conceal and brighten at the same time, thanks to the dual shades.
