Glow Facial Oil + SIMA: Your Skin’s New Glow-Boosting Duo—Here’s Why

For years, I avoided facial oils like the plague. As someone with combination skin—oily T-zone, dry cheeks, and the occasional breakout—I assumed oils would leave my skin greasy, clog my pores, and make my shine worse. But when my skin hit a rough patch last winter—dull, dehydrated, and lacking that “luminous” glow I craved—I decided to take a chance on Spa Sciences’ Glow Facial Oil. Little did I know, pairing it with the SIMA Facial Cleansing Brush would turn it into a game-changing duo that transformed my skin from lackluster to radiant. Now, I can’t imagine my skincare routine without either—and neither will you.
The Facial Oil Myth I Finally Debunked
Like many people with oily or combination skin, I bought into the myth that “oil + oil = disaster.” I thought facial oils were only for dry skin types, and that using them would make my T-zone shine uncontrollably or trigger breakouts. But my winter skin crisis proved otherwise: my skin was dehydrated (even with moisturizer!), dull, and had a tight, uncomfortable feeling—all while my forehead still got oily by noon.
What I learned: Dehydration and oiliness aren’t mutually exclusive. My skin was producing excess oil to compensate for a lack of moisture, and traditional moisturizers weren’t cutting it. When a friend raved about Spa Sciences’ Glow Facial Oil—saying it “balanced her combination skin and gave her a natural glow”—I decided to set my fears aside and try it. I paired it with the SIMA Facial Cleansing Brush (which I already loved for deep, gentle cleansing) on a whim, and the results were immediate.
My First Experience with Glow Facial Oil + SIMA
I’ve been using the SIMA Facial Cleansing Brush for months to deep-clean my pores without stripping my skin—its soft, silicone bristles gently exfoliate and remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue without irritation. So when I added the Glow Facial Oil to the mix, I wasn’t sure how they’d work together—but it turns out, they’re a match made in skincare heaven.
Here’s my go-to routine for glowing skin:
Step 1: Deep Clean with SIMA Facial Cleansing Brush
I start by wetting my face and the SIMA brush, then apply a pea-sized amount of my favorite gentle cleanser. I use the brush in circular motions on my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin—focusing on my T-zone to control oil, and my dry cheeks to slough off dead skin. The brush’s adjustable speed settings let me customize the intensity: I use a lower setting on sensitive areas and a higher setting on my T-zone. After 60 seconds, I rinse—my skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed, not tight.
Step 2: Lock in Glow with Glow Facial Oil
While my skin is still slightly damp (key for maximum absorption!), I warm 2-3 drops of Glow Facial Oil between my palms and press it gently into my skin—avoiding harsh rubbing. The oil has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that sinks in instantly—no sticky residue, no heavy feeling. It’s infused with a blend of nourishing oils (jojoba, argan, and rosehip, to name a few) that feel luxurious but not overwhelming.
From the first use, I noticed a difference. My skin felt hydrated without being oily, and there was a subtle, natural glow that wasn’t from highlighter—it was my skin’s own radiance. By morning, my T-zone was less shiny, my cheeks felt moisturized, and my skin looked brighter overall. No breakouts, no greasiness—just glow.
Why This Duo Beats Every Other Glow-Boosting Hack
What makes the Glow Facial Oil + SIMA Brush combo so effective? It’s all about “clean skin + targeted hydration = radiant results”:
SIMA Preps Skin for Maximum Absorption: The SIMA Brush doesn’t just clean—its gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can block product absorption. By sloughing off that dull top layer, it creates a smooth canvas for the Glow Facial Oil to sink in deeply, rather than sitting on the surface (which is what causes greasiness).
Glow Facial Oil Balances, Don’t Grease: Unlike heavy oils that coat the skin, this formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic (so it won’t clog pores). It mimics the skin’s natural sebum, which helps regulate oil production—meaning my T-zone stays matte longer, while my dry areas get the moisture they need. The blend of essential fatty acids and antioxidants also repairs the skin barrier, which reduces dullness and boosts long-term radiance.
No Compromise on Texture: For combination skin, texture is everything—and this duo delivers. The SIMA Brush is soft enough for sensitive skin but effective enough to deep-clean, and the Glow Facial Oil feels like silk, not sludge. I can use them morning and night without worrying about makeup pilling (morning) or feeling heavy before bed (night).
Glow That Lasts (Not Just a Quick Fix): This isn’t a temporary “dewy look”—it’s actual skin health. The SIMA Brush keeps pores clear and skin smooth, while the Glow Facial Oil nourishes and brightens from within. After two weeks of consistent use, my skin’s glow was noticeable even on days I skipped makeup.
The Key Benefits I’ve Seen (Beyond the Glow)
It’s not just about radiance—this duo has improved my skin in ways I didn’t expect:
Reduced Dryness: My cheeks used to feel tight and flaky in winter—now they’re soft and dewy, even on cold days.
Controlled Oiliness: By balancing my skin’s moisture levels, the oil has reduced midday shine on my forehead and nose.
Smoother Texture: The SIMA Brush’s gentle exfoliation + the oil’s nourishment have minimized rough patches and made my skin feel baby-soft.
Calmed Sensitivity: The natural, fragrance-free formula of both products has reduced redness on my cheeks, which used to flare up with harsh products.
Who Needs This Glow-Boosting Duo?
If you’re in any of these situations, the Glow Facial Oil + SIMA Brush is for you:
You have combination, dry, or normal skin that’s lacking radiance (dullness, tired-looking skin).
You’re scared of facial oils because you think they’ll make you greasy (this one won’t!).
You want a natural glow (not from makeup) that comes from healthy, hydrated skin.
Your current routine leaves your skin feeling tight, dehydrated, or unbalanced.
You love the SIMA Brush and want to maximize its benefits with a complementary product.
Pro Tips for Getting the Most Glow
Damp Skin Is Key: Apply the Glow Facial Oil to slightly damp skin—this locks in moisture and helps the oil absorb faster.
Customize the Oil Amount: Start with 2 drops for oily/combination skin, 3-4 drops for dry skin. You can always add more!
Use SIMA 2-3 Times a Week: For sensitive skin, stick to 2 times a week; for normal/combination skin, 3 times a week is perfect—over-exfoliation can strip the skin barrier.
Layer Under Makeup: The oil makes a great primer! Apply a drop or two before foundation for a dewy, long-lasting finish that doesn’t crease.
Final Thoughts: The Glow Duo I Can’t Live Without
I went from fearing facial oils to making the Glow Facial Oil + SIMA Brush a non-negotiable part of my routine. This duo doesn’t just give temporary glow—it creates healthy, radiant skin from the inside out. The SIMA Brush preps my skin to absorb every drop of the nourishing oil, and the oil balances my combination skin, hydrates without greasiness, and delivers that “I woke up like this” radiance.
If you’re tired of dull, dehydrated skin, or if you’ve avoided facial oils because of misconceptions, give this duo a try. It’s changed how I view skincare—proving that the right products (paired correctly!) can transform your skin without compromise. My skin is brighter, smoother, and more balanced than ever, and the glow is genuine—not just a trick of makeup. The Glow Facial Oil + SIMA Brush isn’t just a combo—it’s your skin’s new best friend for radiant, healthy-looking skin.
