1. Sunscreen
One of the most important Must-Have products is sunscreen! We recommend the Lamelle Helase 50 sunscreen as it offers revolutionary photoprotection with the unique ability to protect your skin from all the harmful effects of the full spectrum of sunlight. It can also fix recent DNA damage which is caused by the sun as well as the free radicals which are produced during sun exposure.
Most sunscreens available today do not provide sufficient sun protection - yes, even broad-spectrum SPF containing antioxidants. And as South Africa has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world, sun protection is important for not only keeping your skin looking beautiful and young, but also for taking the necessary steps to prevent the development of life-threatening diseases from forming.

4. Exfoliator
Another Must-Have for everyone is an exfoliator. Most people are familiar with granule-based exfoliators and we want to encourage everyone to rather shift to an enzyme-based exfoliation. The Nimue Enzyme Exfoliator is one of Glo Laser & Beauty's top sellers as it is much better for sensitive skin as it works more gently to shed skin cells and speed up the skin’s natural exfoliation process. Another benefit of enzyme exfoliation is that you can’t over-exfoliate like you can with granule-based exfoliators.

7. Hydrating Serum
Young or old, keeping your skin hydrated is very important! The Lamelle Corrective Hydrating HA Plus is a Must-Have gel-like serum which is fast-absorbing and results in hydrating and plumping your skin. In order for your skin to have normal desquamation and cell metabolism, for your skin to feel plump hydrated and healthy as well as have a healthy skin barrier, it is essential for your skin to have the right water levels as well as have the ability to trap water.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an essential factor produced by your skin and can be described as a large molecule trapping water to make it available for your skin’s structures to work better. In the Corrective HA Plus the essential HA fragments are used to not only plump and hydrate but to also stimulate the skin’s ability to do this. Additionally, this product is also used to boost healing activities in the skin by stimulating the production of more skin cells which means that fragile skins can be strengthened with this product.
