Alo Yoga Launched Skincare, and My 73-Year-Old Parents Say It's "Holy-Shit" Good

Comparing 2020 to a neck-cracking roller-coaster ride would be an understatement. That said, there have definitely been some silver linings, and the fact that I've been able to spend the majority

of the last three months with my family, safely hunkered down in Tucson, has been one such gift. Not only do I feel thankful for the quality time I've been able to spend with my parents, but they're also the best when it comes to helping me out with my day job—like, you know, covering, testing, and reviewing all of the coolest new innovations to hit the beauty circuit. After all, there are only so many new products I can try, and being that my parents are in their 70s and have led rich, full lives (with some inevitable wrinkles, sagging, and sun damage to show for it), they're the perfect guinea pigs to put "anti-aging" and "glow-boosting" products to the ultimate test. 

The most recent glow-inducing installment? Alo Yoga's brand-new, skin-centric beauty line, Alo Glow System, which features seven Ayurveda-inspired formulas with a special superberry called amla (one of nature's most potent sources of antioxidants) as the ringleading hero ingredient.

Of course, you can get that coveted post-yoga glow by getting your flow on while wearing Alo's celebrity-adored line of activewear, but we love that the brand has taken said glow a step further by bottling it into clean, vegan, and cruelty-free formulas designed to marry the transformative practice of yoga with smart, efficacious skincare workable for all skin types—anytime, anywhere. (The formulas are especially brilliant pre- and post-workout, naturally, but we'll get to the nitty-gritty product details later on.)
