Cult of Reason Skincare launches at Monarch

After four years of formulating and testing, Angela Hugghins launches Cult of Reason Skincare at Monarch featuring a three product collection.

Meet Cult of Reason Skincare. Skin’s new best friend.

Cult of Reason skincare cuts through the noise and hype of the skincare world to give people products that are uncomplicated and effective – no deciphering labels or ten-step routines. Cult of Reason is clean, simple and straightforward, with ingredients that are intentional and readable. Most importantly, they actually work. Plus, the products are non-gendered because skin is skin.

This esthetician-formulated line was born out of a love of the chemistry of skincare and a desire to create a line that challenges the status quo. With carefully selected suppliers, high quality ingredients and a true understanding of how skin works, this streamlined product line is transparent and thoughtfully crafted. Cult of Reason makes loving your skin easy.

The line features three powerhouse products: Grit, Quench and Shield.

Grit: an exfoliating sulfur cleanser that leaves skin soft, soothed and refined.

Quench: a snow mushroom serum that deeply hydrates thirsty skin.

Shield: Cloudberry + Rosehip Oil serum energizes the skin and fights signs of aging,

An esthetician with 20 years of experience, Angela Hugghins was born for the skincare world. Even as a child, she was concocting face masks and giving makeup tips. Her grandfathers would wait patiently as the 6-year-old spruced up their nails and hair, while giving them (totally made up) beauty information. In 2016, she opened her own brow and facial studio, Monarch Brow and Facials in Carrboro, NC. This thoughtful, refined skincare line is the manifestation of this long-held passion.

Monarch Signature Facial: Glo2 Balance edition

The GLo2 Balance facial works especially well to detoxify and deep-clean oily, combination and blemish-prone skin types. It’s antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties make it the choice for acne-prone skin. Powerful antioxidants deliver beneficial ingredients to the skin to improve skin texture and appearance without the downtime associated with other exfoliation and dermabrasion systems.

Each Glo2 Balance Facial delivers ingredients in 2 ways

Every Glo2 facial delivers highly effective natural ingredients in two ways: through the Glo2 OxyPod technology and serum. When the facial begins, the power of the all-natural ingredients found in the unique OxyPod interact with the Primer Gel and start Glo2’s patented oxygenation process, bringing the body’s naturally-occurring oxygen to the skin’s surface. In this step, our patented Oxygeneo technology combines with exfoliation, resulting in a bubbly, CO2 rich environment on the skin’s surface. Triggering the body’s unique, natural, physiological process of increased oxygen levels internally, the skin is prepped for maximum absorption.

In the next step of the facial, Ultrasound waves stimulate and condition the skin for treatment. Ultrasound waves stimulate micro-vibrations in the skin, delivering instant smoothing results on the surface, this step increases the permeability of the skin’s protective layer and enhances the absorption of the Glo2 serum’s active ingredients.

Charcoal, Nature’s Detoxifying Champion

The key ingredient in the Glo2 Charcoal Facial OxyPod is bamboo charcoal. Bamboo charcoal adsorbs impurities due to its super-porous structure. Just one teaspoon has the surface area of a football field. Millions of pores within the charcoal act as a magnet to trap and draw out impurities from deep inside the pores of your skin. It also gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells without drying skin.

Other natural active ingredients in the Charcoal OxyPod are:

Camu-camu extract which comes from the berries of a bush found in the Amazon rainforest.  It is one of the highest sources of Vitamin C in the world, more than 30x that found in an orange. Vitamin C helps protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays, stimulates the production of collagen and reduces hyperpigmentation.  

Mandelic acid which is naturally derived from bitter almonds. It works by gently exfoliating the skin. It loosens the bonds that hold dead cells on the surface of the skin allowing, them to shed more effectively.

Glo2 Balancing Serum

The facial finishes with the Neo-Massage step, locking in the power of Glo2. The neo-massage step delivers instant reduction in redness and puffiness while deeply infusing the active ingredients of the Balancing Serum.. The Glo2 Balancing Serum completes the treatment with powerful detoxifying and hydrating ingredients, providing nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins to further nourish and improve the appearance of the skin, reduce pore size and provide strong antibacterial detoxifying properties. Ingredients include salicylic acid which is derived from the bark of the willow tree; kojic acid which is made from several different types of fungi; vanilla and horsetail extracts; jojoba and argan oils, and shea butter.

Rediscover Clean, Blemish-Free Skin

No matter your age, or skin-type…if you have acne-prone skin, then the Balance Facial is for you. The Glo2 Balance Facial removes dirt and impurities, fights acne and balances oily skin.
