Sol Glow - Functional Beauty

Sol Glow was founded by Karina Jerez, who approaches skin care as part of the whole body. Her work connects skin health, how the face functions, and overall wellness, and she draws on several training areas, including facial reflexology, therapeutic massage, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release and sound therapy.

In-person sessions include the Restorative Rituals category, which centers on massage-based facials. The signature facial combines fascia release, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, gua sha and a lifting facial massage, finished with freshly blended herbal extracts. Access to the in-person skin ritual runs through a waitlist, and the owner contacts people when a spot opens.

Virtual consultations are one-on-one sessions that draw on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic and herbal approaches. Anyone can take the free online skin quiz, and people who complete an online skin assessment can receive a personalized skin regimen with product recommendations.

The online shop carries botanical skin care, body care, beauty and wellness tools, and gift cards. Shipping is limited to the United States. The business also offers mentorship and training for estheticians, with enrollment opening quarterly for a small group of students.

Sol Glow takes a functional view of beauty, treating the skin as part of the body's physical and immune systems and working to support its function rather than forcing a look.
