Fountain of Glow by Womaness

“Self-care is so important. Especially as wives and mothers, we always put others first. While it’s hard to choose my favorite Womaness product, I can’t live without Fountain of Glow vitamin c face serum and Active Glow supplements. Used in combination, they treat the body from the inside out to give the skin that dewy look that often diminishes during menopause.” – Shannon Mann, @oysterstopearls
