Airbrush Tanning Benefits

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

  Everyone loves a beautiful tan, no matter the season. What we don’t love, the awful damage that UV rays do to our skin. Need a solution?! Airbrush tanning is the easiest and safest way to get a healthy and sexy tan. With no sun required this is the best alternative for your skin to remain healthy but still have a sun kissed glow.

This is a great option for a last minute wedding, work function, or for everyday wear! Generally lasting up to 10 days with the right care, you can have the sun kissed look all week long! This is also a popular service for guests going on vacations that tend to get sun burned easily. The tanning solution is derived from sugar beets and contains the main ingredient DHA. It is an FDA approved solution, this is a smart and effortlessly way to brighten your skin.

What’s the number one trick for keeping your tan lasting long and looking fresh? MOISTURIZER!  Making sure your skin is exfoliated really well before you head in for your airbrush tan is key. You also need to limit physical activity for a recommended 12 to 24 hours after. This ensures that you get the full benefits from your tan and maximum results will show. After that it’s just moisturizing in the morning and at night. Keeping the skin hydrated in the winter especially is important when prolonging your tan.

We’ve all heard of or used the bulky machines that do the spray tan for you, right? But we all know that they can’t get in the nooks and crannies of our bodies. Our esthetician is specially trained to give you the best looking airbrush tan you’ve ever had! With having a hand held airbrush machine, she is able to cover every area of the body and avoid any streaking or missed areas that can occur with the machine tanning.

Brazilian or Bikini wax??

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Let’s admit it. We’ve all been self-conscious about our bodies in one way or another. Whether we’re worried about our outfit, hair, or skin, the hair on our body is nothing less than embarrassing.

When we’re in a swimming suit all summer long, the last thing we want to worry about having to shave our legs, under arms, or bikini area.

When waxing any area of your body, the hair follicle is completely removed. Where is when you shave, you are cutting the hair off at the top of the skin so hair grows back faster and thicker than before. Waxing allows the hair to grow sporadically and finer. This will also lengthen the time between waxing appointments for 4 to 6 weeks.

Even though the winter’s coming up, it’s vacation season! There is nothing better than escaping the harsh winters than to be laying under the sun on the beach with family and friends. Don’t want to worry about body hair? Problem solved: our Brazilian wax is your ticket to a worry and hair free vacay. The most popular of our waxing services has been around for quite some time. The Brazilian is a no hair down there type of service and leaves the area smooth and clean.
