It’s Not Just Glow. It’s Alignment.
On Alo Face Glow Oil, Executive Presence, and the Healing Power of Taking Care of Your Face Again
Let’s talk about the glow.
Not the trend. Not the algorithmic kind.
The real glow. The kind that shows up when your soul finally gets a word in.
Mine returned the day I started putting oil on my face again—on purpose.
Specifically, Alo’s Head-To-Toe Glow Oil.
I bought it for the branding (I won’t lie), stayed for the smell (fresh citrus-meets-serum), and kept reaching for it because something about it said:
You don’t have to rush this moment. You can let your care catch up to your calendar.
🧘🏾♂️ Why Face Oil Feels Like Resistance
For those of us in executive spaces, strategy rooms, and performance-driven industries, wellness can become a checklist.
Drink water. Meditate. Breathe. Move.
But what if oiling your face slowly—with intention—is a way of telling your nervous system:
“We’re safe now. We’re allowed to take up space and time.”
We live in a world that confuses burnout with impact and perfection with presence.
And let’s be honest, sometimes leadership makes us neglect our own bodies in service of someone else’s vision.
You know what brings you back?
A routine that feels like reverence.
And this oil? It reminded me:
You can glow again without apology.
✨ The Connection Between Skincare and Spiritual Alignment
It’s deeper than vanity.
It’s about visibility.
I spent years making myself invisible in toxic environments—trying not to outshine supervisors, trying to stay “neutral,” trying not to look too much like I cared about how I showed up.
But in this new season? I’m reclaiming my glow.
Because leadership is not just what you say—it’s the energy you bring.
And when your energy is cracked and dry (literally and spiritually), people can feel it.
A good face oil won’t fix your workplace—but it will remind you of your worth before you walk in.
It’ll remind you:
You are not what people project onto you.
You deserve softness—regardless of how hard you work.
You can be glossy, grounded, and God-aligned all at the same time.
👔 What This Means for Executive Presence
When I talk about executive image, I’m not talking about aesthetics for aesthetics’ sake.
I’m talking about curating a presence that honors the weight you carry.
That presence needs fuel. Ritual. Intention.
And yes, a little glow.
Whether you’re walking into a boardroom, recording a keynote, or praying through your next move, the way you prepare yourself matters.
And if that preparation includes a quiet moment with a face oil that smells like you finally said yes to you—I think that counts as leadership.
🔑 Final Takeaway
This isn’t an ad for Alo. (Though, hi Alo—if you’re reading this, I am available.)
This is a reminder that small rituals restore big leaders.
So oil your face.
Bless your skin.
Reclaim the mirror as sacred space.
And remember:
The glow is a sign of alignment—not indulgence.
You don’t need permission to be well.
You just need a few minutes, your favorite serum, and a belief that you are still worth the softness you give others.
