FACIAL MASSAGE, ESSENCE + SERUM

I've always liked the idea of a stimulating facial massage to lift and revitalize the appearance of of the skin.

But I knew I would not commit to anything that made my skin care routine even minutes longer.

OPAL GUA SHA MASSAGE CRYSTAL

I've been experimenting with a various tools and discovered the mushroom shaped gua sha stone used in traditional Chinese beauty practices, hand carved specifically for the face. The unique shape allows better control over pressure, so you can cover your entire face in seconds, releasing tension in your jaw and stimulating lymphatic drainage.

I have enjoyed mine so much that I've added it to our Beauty Tools. I've chosen an exceptional quality, hand carved opal crystal for two reasons: I love the unique holographic look and feel of opal, and opal is from highly vibrational blue sodalite.

This effective treatment will smooth away the appearance of wrinkles and help to visibly firm the facial contours while awakening skin’s natural glow. When used around the eyes, it helps reduce the look of dark circles and puffiness.

HOW TO USE

● Smooth upwards from the center of the face outwards to the hairline to encourage circulation, and around the eyes to diminish the look of dark circles and puffiness.
● Use after cleansing for a stimulating massage, then again with the Purist or the Alpine for deeper penetration of the serum.
● It can be kept in the fridge for a cooling effect.
● Treat yourself to a neck massage!
● You'll feel the stimulation linger after the massage is complete.

Blue Sodalite is a stone that is known to encourage harmony and restore peace and inner tranquility, releasing fears and tensions.

Namaste.

We've made skincare smarter & easier 

A suggested skincare regime after cleansing might be toner, serum, moisturizer, face oil and sunscreen for day...and toner, serum, retinol, moisture and face oil for night.

We think that's a lot of work. So we collaborated with an award-winning micro-formulation chemist for the ideal consolidation to do the work for you, making your routine almost effortless without sacrificing results.

"It’s really the best product out there! And the fragrance...intoxicating!" ~ Lesley Wolman, @Fabulesley

Our Aspen Dew Illuminating Essence IS everything because you achieve pH balanced toning, conditioning, hydration, and a non-sensitizing botanical swap for retinol that may be applied both night and day.

The Aspen Dew Illuminating Essence

Aspen Dew Illuminating Essence

You told us that hydration is king, daily revitalization is queen, and that you would like a whisper weight humectant for comfort on hot, humid days. So we formulated a luxurious hybrid between a micro-serum and a skin conditioner, delivering quadruple humectants for a youthful glow.

Aspen Dew is a stepped up toner + revitalizer designed to quench thirsty skin, help brighten skin that’s seen some sun, and assist in firming with renewing actives.
When used together with our oil serums, humectant hydration and nourishing moisture create the holy grail of dewy skin.

For daytime, it's the Essence and one of our Serums (plus sunscreen).

For nighttime, skip the sunscreen (obviously!)

Mask once a week.

A GUIDE FOR EXCELLENCE

I recently asked for feedback and picked up many nuggets from you about what you liked and what you'd like to see changed about Telluride Glow. I was blown away. What YOU say matters much more than what I say! Here's a few.

RESULTS!

Does anything else really matter more than results? Well, maybe compliments.

"Love the fragrance, and the Alpine oil is the only thing I’ve found that helps in the dry of winter. Even with other $$$$ creams, my face still looked drawn. The oil has helped tremendously! - Sherri McCann

"I didn't want to like your product as much as I do, but darn it, I do. I became a customer when you created the Alpine Pure Oil. As your business has expanded, I too have expanded my likes. I now enjoy your Aspen Dew along with The Alpine. I try to be mindful and use them sparingly, but this aged, outdoor-exposed skin of mine happily drinks them in. So far, I can't resist. I appreciate the clean and excellent ingredients with which Telluride Glow products are made. Thank you for your dedication to quality!" - Joan Olderog

"I was diagnosed with Rosacea last year (Coronavirus stress?) and The Purist helps to keep my skin's moisture barrier in check. The Purist is essential to my preventative therapy." - Teena Vanvick

"Your products have saved my skin! I moved from Austin to El Paso 18 months ago. My wonderful friend Martha gave me some Alpine Phytonutrient serum as a going away gift. I was using it every night. Once I ran out, I purchased the Aspen Dew essence and Alpine- together they have kept my skin from drying up in the desert environment." - Denise “Suzie” Greer

"My favorite is the Purist Serum. I religiously use it morning and night. It keeps my skin supple and glowing. I’ve just recently started using Aspen Dew, too. I like the results, as my face seems brighter and tighter." - Sheila George

"Thank you for such a fabulous skin care line. Your products walk the talk." - Brenda S

"When I run out of the alpine phytonutrient serum, I notice a huge difference in my skin. Without the serum in my routine, my skin is more dull -- but with it, it's vibrant, glowing and so healthy looking!"- Marina Mayer

COMPLIMENTS GALORE

"Strangers stop and ask me “What are you doing for your skin?”!! WOW! That’s never happened EVER!" - Peggy Pepper

“I can really see and feel a difference in my 53 year old skin. Even my aesthetician has noticed a difference.“ -- Catherine Hook

"I have been using telluride glow for years. I currently use The Alpine Phytonutrient Serum and love it. I am 50 years old and my Botox injector who has been in the business for 15 years just told me that my skin glows from within." -- David Leib

"I LOVE Telluride Glow Alpine Phyto serum! I use it twice a day, and it’s the only thing I use. I’ve always had dry skin and it’s the only thing that has ever worked on my skin. No one thinks I’m as old as I am (68 don’t tell)." - Judy Nordseth

"I have to say thank you for creating such wonderful products! I am such a fan of Telluride Glow and tell all my friends about it. I had searched high and low for high quality skincare. I travel a lot for work, and my face was very dry and broken out. My mother ended up giving me several of your products — two of the oils and the mask. I was amazed at how great my skin looked and felt after using them! My boss even told me my face looked a lot better. (I’m going to assume that was a compliment, haha.)" - Sarah Mitschke

"I love the Purist! Since using it, I have been receiving compliments on my skin. Thank you Telluride Glow." - Donna Painter

LOYALTY

Many of you have been using our products for YEARS.

"I have been a user of Telluride glow since the beginning! I cannot imagine my skin without it. I use Aspen Dew and The Purist daily and my skin is truly at it’s best because of these incredible products!" - Kimberly Marney

"I’m in this for the long term and am dedicated to the goodness and high level of self care of Telluride Glow. Thank you for being ahead of the curve and understanding what women really want with their skincare."- Mary Cozad Yuma, Az The world’s Sunniest place on a Earth! ( and one of the least humid )

"I first learned about you and your wonderful product a few years ago and bought the original Alpine Telluride Glow oil - and fell in love - that lovely scent, the fabulous oils............I actually looked forward to putting it on my face. My favorite is the Alpine Phytonutrient serum which has made my incredibly dry skin look so hydrated and glow-y that I hardly need to wear much makeup!" - Brenda S

"I have loved and used the Snow Rose recovery mask since it first came out.I like the gentle scent, and I usually do a quick scrub before rinsing it off in the shower." - Kim Dorn

"I have been a fan of Telluride Glow practically from the beginning and I love the product development and the new oils." - Dorsey Gordon

"I am 63 years old and I’ve been using Telluride Glow products for at least 2 years and they are the only skincare products I use." - Mary Farley

"Since I’ve been a customer now for four years, I guess you can assume by my ordering all of your products that my praise is for everything you sell. " - Christine Char

YOU'D LIKE A BLOW OUT SPECIAL

"I love The Alpine serum. I use it in the morning and at bed time. My only comment is that there has not been a significant Sale (buy 1 get 1) for what seems like years. Thank you for the great product. "-- David Leib

IT'S AN AH-HA MOMENT

Someone recently told me she just tried an oil serum for the first time and thought, "Why haven't I done this before?"
It's pretty eye opening because you see immediate visible results, plus long term results if you have chosen a quality product. As with everything, there are many choices in price and quality.

“I looked for a product for my face for years, trying absolutely everything. Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to your products.” -- Chris Char

WAYS TO USE

● Use alone on clean skin for a light, natural glow.
● If you choose to use a skin cream (it may not be necessary), press into skin on top of the cream to seal in nutrients and moisture. Or blend 2 drops right into the cream.
● If you use our Aspen Dew Illuminating Essence, apply after the Essence. Or mix one pump Aspen Dew and one pump oil serum for a faster application.
● Refresh during the day by pressing a drop over makeup to create subtle highlights.
● Blend one pump into your Snow Rose Recovery Mask when mixing.

HOW TO APPLY

If you are new to oil serums, it is easy to assume you use the same amount as a cream, and therefore use too much. You conclude the product is just 'too greasy.'

But a good oil serum is waterless, making it very concentrated, and it shouldn't have fillers that take up space. Every ingredient should have a job to improve your skin health for improved skin tone and texture.

If the product imparts a greasy feel instead of a velvety feel, you may be 1. using more than necessary or 2. may need a different combination of ingredients. Our pump is calibrated to give most people what they need in one pump, so there is no guessing and no waste. Plus no spills from messy droppers.

Pump once onto the back of your hand, then dot it on the most needy parts of your face, neck and décolletage.

Press and massage in with upward strokes until you get a replenished, nourished, and silky feel.

If you just need a drop or two as mentioned above, barely press the pump and you'll get just the right amount.

If your skin is sensitive or reactive as mine is, The Purist may be the one for you. It's equally as potent as The Alpine with absolutely no irritants. I love it around the eyes to diminish the appearance of fine lines and provide ongoing nourishment and anti-aging benefits.

THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN PRODUCTS ALONE

Do as we do in Telluride and get outside, regardless of the winter weather, for fresh air and exercise. You can really do wonders for your skin, and your well-being, with exercise... even if it's a short walk. Your capillaries will enlarge and work harder to bring oxygen with its nutrients to the outer layer of skin to bring a healthy "Telluride Glow."

Dress for the cold then protect and nourish with the right products. Extreme weather is what we are made for. The two biggest deterrents to achieving a gorgeous glow are a fragile skin barrier and increased skin dryness. Our two natural oil emulsions, The Alpine Phytonutrient Serum and The Purist Delicate Skin Serum, deeply nourish and moisturize, then create an occlusive shield to prevent trans-dermal water loss. They work optimally together with Aspen Dew Illuminating Essence.

MORE YOU CAN DO...

Dry skin is common in winter as a result of harsh, cold wicking winds and also drier, heated, indoor environments.
● Drink 64 -100 ounces of water daily
● Lower indoor heat
● Lower water temperature while bathing
● Use a humidifier
● Exfoliate weekly but keep in gentle with Snow Rose Recovery Mask
● Use products high in Omegas for nourishment and reinforcing the epidermal barrier
● Hydrate with a face mist
● Use sunscreen
