Stephanie Gerber, Hello Glow Founder
Hello Glow started in 2011 with just me, testing and writing recipes every spare minute of the day! This blog gave me a place to learn and share about the world of natural beauty I had recently discovered, and I fell in love with do-it-yourself skin care and beauty-boosting recipes.
My books
Nowadays, I'm still testing out beauty recipes after the kids go to bed, as well as a certified aromatherapist who's a little obsessed with essential oils, and the author of three books:
Hello Glow
My first book was published in 2016, and it includes more than 150 DIY beauty formulations. Definitely a labor of love, this book has some of my all-time favorite beauty recipes.
Essential Glow
Essential Glow is all about ... essential oils! Published in 2017, it breaks down the most popular essential oils and shows you how to use each one in beauty, wellness, and home care recipes.
Hello Gorgeous
My most recent book tackles one of my favorite DIY beauty topics—face masks! It includes 100+ facial recipes, perfect for your next at-home spa night.
