There’s a certain satisfaction that comes with finding a makeup routine you love. Maybe it’s the foundation that gives you a flawless-looking finish, the concealer you’ve repurchased for years, or the skin tint that makes getting ready effortless.
But while makeup gets plenty of attention, the skin underneath deserves even more.
For some women skincare is about maintaining healthy skin that looks and feels, radiant, well-hydrated, and balanced regardless of whether makeup is part of the day’s plans. That relationship between skincare and makeup inspired Glow365, a skincare brand founded by a mother-daughter duo that wanted to approach skincare from a different perspective. Their idea was simple: What happens between makeup days matter.
The result is The Makeup Reset™, a twice-weekly, 10-minute skincare ritual built around their hero product The Reset™ Pink Clay Mask. Designed to remove surface buildup, restore, balance, hydrate, while supporting the skin barrier.
Why Does the Moments Between Makeup Days Matter
Most of us are familiar with the essentials of morning and nighttime skincare. In the morning, that might mean cleansing, moisturizing, applying sunscreen, and a few products selected for individual skin concerns. At night, the focus often shifts to removing makeup, cleansing, and nighttime moisturizer or spot treatment.
But skincare doesn’t have to begin and end with those two routines.
Women that wear makeup even a few times a week often have their own preferences when it comes to complexion products. Some love long-wearing foundation, while others prefer lightweight coverage. The products they use, how they apply them, and how they remove them can all influence their skincare choices.
That doesn’t mean makeup is inherently damaging or that daily cleansing is insufficient. It simply means makeup habits are another factor worth considering when choosing skincare products.
For Glow365, the moments between makeup days presented an opportunity to introduce a ritual with a specific purpose. Rather than creating another complicated daily regimen, the brand developed a 10-minute skincare ritual designed for the days when your skin feels and looks dry, congested or dehydrated.
Why Just 10 Minutes?
Clay masks have been a familiar part of beauty routines for years, but not everyone enjoys the experience. Some formulas can leave skin feeling tight or excessively dry, particularly when allowed to dry completely. For women who associate clay masks with that uncomfortable sensation, the idea of using one regularly may not be especially appealing. Glow365 wanted to approach the experience differently.
The Reset™ Pink Clay Mask is designed to be applied and rinsed off after 10-minutes, and before it becomes completely dry or begins to crack.
The shorter application time is intentional. When it comes to clay masks, leaving them on longer and allowing the mask to dry completely, harden, or crack can cause skin irritation, dehydration and pull moisture away from the skin. Ten minutes also makes the ritual relatively easy to incorporate into a busy week.
Whether it’s an evening at home or part of a weekend skincare routine, the process doesn’t require an elaborate setup or an extended commitment. And because the mask is intended to be used twice weekly on nonconsecutive days, it has a defined place within the routine.
How Do You Know When Your Skin Needs a Reset?
Sometimes, the signs are subtle. Skin may feel persistently dry, tight, flaky, or rough to the touch, while a once-radiant complexion may begin to appear dull.
These changes can signal shifts in the skin’s hydration levels or moisture barrier.
Other signs may include excess oil or shine, while makeup may begin to settle unevenly over dry areas, making changes in the skin’s surface more noticeable.
Meet The Reset™ Pink Clay Mask
At the center of The Makeup Reset™ is The Reset™ Pink Clay Mask, a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic rinse-off mask powered by EQ7™, Glow365’s proprietary complex.
The formula combines kaolin clays with ingredients including niacinamide, allantoin, and botanical extracts. While clay masks are commonly associated with detox, Glow365’s formulation emphasizes hydration, restoration, balance, and skin barrier support.
The Reset™ focuses on providing an experience and benefits that complement an established skincare routine.
The mask benefits reflect the brand’s approach to skincare: Cleanse, Restore, Balance, and Hydrate.
For women who have previously avoided clay masks because of dryness or tightness, the non-drying approach may be particularly appealing. And although the product was developed with makeup wearers in mind, its intended benefits aren’t limited to women who wear makeup.
How to Incorporate The Makeup Reset™ Into Your Routine
One of the advantages of The Makeup Reset™ is that the process is straightforward.
Start with clean skin. Start with a clean, dry face before applying the mask.
Apply an even layer. Using the mask applicator, apply a thin even layer of the mask to the face, avoiding the immediate eye and lip areas.
Leave on for 10 minutes. Leave the mask on for recommended time.
Rinse thoroughly. Gently remove using lukewarm water and apply your favorite moisturizer.
There’s no need to overhaul your morning or evening routine to accommodate it. The Makeup Reset™ simply introduces a dedicated ritual with a clear purpose.
What Can You Expect After Using It?
One of the most appealing aspects of a facial mask is the experience immediately after rinsing it away. With The Reset™ Pink Clay Mask, your skin should feel clean not skipped, balanced, refreshed, hydrated not oily.
Skincare That Reflects Your Lifestyle
The beauty industry offers countless products designed for different skin types, concerns, and preferences. Yet two women with similar skin types may approach their routines differently depending on how often they wear makeup, the products they enjoy, and the results they’re looking for. One may prefer a minimal routine with a handful of essentials. Another may enjoy incorporating masks and targeted skincare throughout the week.
Neither approach is inherently better. What matters is choosing products that serve a purpose and suit the individual needs. For Glow365, that thinking became the foundation of The Makeup Reset™.
Instead of asking women to change their makeup habits, the brand created a ritual that acknowledges those habits while keeping the focus on the skin beneath. The Reset™ Pink Clay Mask is the first expression of that approach, bringing together a defined application time, a non-drying formulation strategy, EQ7 their proprietary complex, and benefits centered on hydration, balance, and skin restoration.
Women interested in learning more about the philosophy behind The Makeup Reset™ can explore the brand through Glow365.
Ultimately, makeup will always be about personal expression, experimentation, and finding products that make you feel your best. Skincare has a different purpose. And for women who love both, The Makeup Reset™ offers a way to bring those two parts of their beauty routine into a more thoughtful relationship.
