02Account and sign-in
I forgot my password
On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password and enter your email. We send a reset link that opens straight back into the app. The link expires after one hour — request a new one if it lapses.
Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within a few minutes.
I never received my verification email
Check spam and promotions folders first. If it is still missing, sign in and tap Resend verification, or email us and we will verify the account manually.
How do I change my password?
Profile → Settings → Change password. You will need your current password. If you do not have it, sign out and use the forgot password flow instead.
Can I change my username?
Yes — Profile → Edit profile. Usernames must be unique, so you may need a second choice. Your past posts update to the new name automatically.
How do I delete my account?
Profile → Settings → Account → Delete account, or email us. Full details of what is removed are on the delete account page.
03Using the community
How does anonymous posting work?
Toggle Post anonymously before you publish. Other members see the post without your name or photo. Your account still owns it behind the scenes so you can edit or delete it and still earn GlowPoints — see the privacy policy for exactly what that means.
Can I edit or delete a post?
You can edit within 30 minutes of posting. You can delete at any time — open the post, tap the menu, choose Delete.
What is a Verified Pro?
A beauty professional whose credentials we have checked — dermatology-adjacent practitioners, cosmetologists, trichologists, estheticians and licensed stylists. Their answers carry a Pro badge.
A Pro badge is not a claim that someone is a medical doctor. Nothing on GlowHub is a substitute for seeing one.
How do I become a Verified Pro?
Email support@glowhub.ng with the subject Verified Pro application, your GlowHub username, your qualifications, and proof — certification, licence or salon registration. Review takes about a week.
Someone is being abusive
Report the post or profile using the three-dot menu, and block the member from their profile. Reports are anonymous and we review every one within 24 hours. For anything threatening, email us directly so it reaches us faster.
04GlowPoints and tiers
How do I earn GlowPoints?
By taking part: asking a question, answering one, having your answer marked helpful or "worked for me", completing a daily challenge check-in, and keeping a streak going. The exact values are shown in the app under Profile → GlowPoints.
What are the tiers?
Newcomer, Regular, Glow Getter, Beauty Guru and Glow Legend. You move up as you earn points, and your tier shows on your profile and posts.
Can I convert GlowPoints to cash?
No. GlowPoints are a loyalty feature with no cash value. They cannot be transferred, sold or refunded, and they are forfeited if an account is deleted or banned.
My points disappeared
Points are removed when the activity that earned them is deleted, or when our systems detect farming — repeated low-effort posts, coordinated voting, or multiple accounts. If you think this was a mistake, email us with your username and we will check the transaction history.
06Safety and privacy
Who can see my beauty profile?
Only what you choose to make public. Skin type, hair type and concerns are optional and you can clear them at any time in Profile → Edit.
How do I get a copy of my data?
Email support@glowhub.ng with the subject Data request. We send a machine-readable copy within 30 days, free of charge.
How do I block someone?
Tap their profile, then the menu, then Block. They cannot contact you or see your posts, and they are not told. Unblock later in Settings → Privacy → Blocked members.
07Technical problems
The app says "No internet connection"
Check whether other apps can reach the internet, switch between wifi and mobile data, and pull down to refresh. GlowHub needs a connection to load the feed — there is no offline mode yet.
I am not getting notifications
Check Settings → Notifications inside GlowHub, then your phone's system settings for GlowHub. On Android, also check that battery optimisation is not restricting the app in the background.
The app keeps crashing
Update to the latest version, restart your phone, and if it continues, email us with your phone model, OS version and what you were doing when it crashed. Crash reports help us find it faster.
How do I report a bug or suggest a feature?
Email support@glowhub.ng. We are a small team and we read everything — a lot of what is in the app came from member suggestions.
