The Oldest Trick In the Book

Mix lemon juice with baking soda and together these two will make a paste. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it saturate for about five minutes. After the time is up, remove the paste with a cleansing wipe. By doing this, you will be removing your tan completely. It is a smart idea to test the mixture on a small part of your skin before slathering your body. This way you can determine any skin sensitivity! If you are hoping to simply lighten your spray tan, only leave the mixture on for three minutes.

Relaxing and Effective

One of the best ways to remove a bad spray tan is rather therapeutic. Steam yourself in the shower for fifteen minutes or longer. Exfoliate as best you can, dry off well and moisturize! This little trick will leave you streak free and soft to the touch!

A Quick Fix

If your spray tan is blotchy, a quality face powder or self-tanner can help even out small areas. Use a cotton ball or Q-Tip to apply the product and blend the borders of your skin and the spray tan. This is a great temporary fix.

Your spray tanning experience should be nothing less than amazing. Our spray tan technicians here at FYBC are skilled and experienced! Here at FYBC, we offer the best spray tans in all of Denver.

Last Minute Valentine’s Day Advice

Half the fun of Valentine’s Day is dressing up and feeling like a goddess. There are always ways to accentuate your beauty and you don’t have to go to a salon to do it. Here are a few, simple tips that can help you feel like a million bucks come the 14th.

Kissable Is Good

Preparing your skin for the holiday of love begins with the lips! Be ready for a million kisses from your loved one but making sure your lips are smooth and luscious. Start by exfoliating your lips with a lip balm that contains alpha hydroxyl. Next, moisturize by applying a Shea Butter based balm. Try to stay away from anything overly scented or flavored. Lastly, try a tinted lip balm for a pop of color. These three steps will leave your lips feeling moisturized and completely kissable!

Don’t Cake It On

Dry and dull skin is to be expected during this time of year. Piling on the foundation to cover up dry and dull skin is the worst thing you could do. Not only will more foundation bring attention to your irritated skin but also it will continue to dry it out. By applying less foundation this Valentine’s Day you will create the look of fresh, rejuvenated skin. A creamy formula, like a BB cream, when applied with your fingers will allow more of your skin to show through which makes you look more awake. Less is more for your skin this Valentine’s Day.

Make Things Easy With A Wax

Being hair free is important for this special night. Here at Forever Young Body Clinic, we offer quick and painless waxing of just about any area of the body.

Basic Skin Care Tips You Should Follow During Winter

Extreme weather temperatures, either hot or cold can do harm to your skin. However. Winter, in particular, can make your skin dry up and flake due to the dry wind and chilly conditions. Your regular skin regimen won’t help in such times. It’s true, during the winter months your skin needs a bit more pampering than usual in order to stay healthy and continue glowing. Here at a few winter tips for your complexion that stop dryness and dull looking skin in its tracks.

Cleanse

Regardless of the product you use, cleaning your face is a MUST! In fact, it’s a skincare step you should follow all year, no matter the season. In winter, you should limit the number of times you wash your face (2-3 times)! It is also helpful to alternatively cleanse your face with cold milk and a cotton ball, which prevents dryness.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating your skin with a quality scrub is help any season. But like cleansing, you want to limit the number of times your scrub your face during the winter. Scrubbing too much can cause abrasion and make your skin drier. A way to eliminate the chance of over-exfoliating your skin, consider using a mild exfoliating scrub. You can enhance your experience but making your own scrub with natural ingredients available at your home.

Try this DIY recipe:

• 2 tbsp. mashed ripe banana
• 2 tbsp. of a mashed apple
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 2 dollops of your Mild scrub.

Mix all the ingredients and gently scrub your face for 2 minutes in circular motions. Washing it off with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel.

Toning To Tighten

Always use a toner that is chemical free! The harsher the toner, the more likely it is to disturb the PH levels of your skin. The purpose of a toner is to remove the post-cleansing residual dirt from your skin. Not to mention, toning tightens your skin and better prepares your skin to absorb any moisturizer or night serum you apply later.

Moisturize

Moisturizing isn’t necessary for only those with dry or flaky skin, but all skin types. You should always use a natural moisturizer, ones that contain extra virgin olive oil or almond oil.

 

Does Tea Tree Oil Remove Blackheads?

Blackheads. We almost never know what to do with them. Some sources say squeeze or scrub them, while others don’t. In all actuality, getting rid of blackheads is very simple as long as you know what to do and what to use. The magical fix to blackheads requires one product only, tea tree oil.

Why Does Tea Tree Oil Help Remove Blackheads?

Tea tree oil is great for treating other forms of acne because it contains antibacterial properties, is an excellent disinfectant and is soothing. But what makes tea tree oil so special is its ability to deeply penetrate the skin and get under the clogging in our pores. That being said, it disinfects, dries out the blackhead and unclogs the pores.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp fine sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 drops tea tree oil
• A steamer

Treatment Time: 15 minutes.

Method:

1. Steam your face for about 5-10 minutes.
2. Combine and mix all the ingredients until coarse.
3. Apply mixture to your face and massage gently in circular motions.
4. Massage for a couple of minutes and then rinse your face with cool water.

Frequency: 2-3 times a week.

Why This Works

This tea tree scrub is a wonderful exfoliate which helps unclog pores and dry out pesky blackheads. Be sure you are using pure tea tree oil only. Any other variants may end up worsening the conditions of your blackheads.

Include Us In Your Valentines Day Plan!

Love is in the air and we feel it! Can you believe that January is almost over? Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and that means it is time to get planning for the big day. Whether you are planning to spend a day with good friends or a romantic evening with your sweetheart, we believe that everyone should feel their best. That is why we want to encourage you to get prepared. That way when Valentine’s Day arrives you can wake up feeling fresh, happy, and ready for whatever comes your way. Pamper yourself with a facial or even go for lash extensions! Getting a chemical peel done in advance is the perfect way to get your skin ready to glow. Lash extensions are great if you are going for an ultra glam look for a romantic dinner. If you are always on the run, lash extensions may not be the best option for you if you are looking to add some length to your lashes. Lash tinting on the other side, is a great way to darken and give your lashes the appearance of length without having to make the commitment to upkeep for your extensions. As the winter takes hold, it is the perfect time to change up your style and go for a more dramatic look with darker lashes. Lash tinting is low maintenance and requires little to no upkeep. It really is the best of beauty treatments. This particular treatment is especially great for those who have light lashes. Add some definition to your look this Valentines Day. Whatever you have in the works, we want to be part of your plan! Come see us at FYBC. We are the best day spa in Denver and we want to show you why. Book your appointment soon.

Pros & Cons: Spray Tanning in the Winter

The “lit from within” glow is not easily achieved during the winter. For some, it means drinking more water or using brightening serums are the only solution. And for those with little patience, a spray tan usually does the trick. Getting bronzed in the dead of winter is a quick and effective fix for when our skin tends to look duller. However, many of you out there still associate spray tans and self-tanners with the color orange, stickiness and strange smells. In an effort to dispel any myths surrounding sunless tanning, here is a  breakdown of what to expect before, during and after a spray tanning with us.

The Misconceptions 

• For starters, spray tans are nothing like the tangerine-colored ones you remember from the early ’90s. And they’re not just for people with a light complexion. See, the point of a spray tan is to give you a glow, and not completely alter your skin tone.
• A high-quality spray tan should give you a natural glow, one that doesn’t leave streaks or inconsistencies.
• The final color you achieve after a spray tan should dry fast and immediately elevate your glow in just one application.
• The sign of a good spray tan is that no one should know you have one. To ensure you will be pleased with the final results, have a consultation with a professional and then go for it!

 

The Advantages

• A seasoned spray tanner will tell you that aside from looking bronzed all year regardless of the season, a spray tan reduces any redness of the skin.
• Think of a spray tan as an invisible protective shield that creates the appearance of warmer skin, even if you are under the weather. Not to mention that a healthy glow creates the appearance of a more contoured, slim figure.
• Spray tans are also much safer than the traditional tanning bed. Indoor tanning raises a person’s risk for skin cancer by 75%.

 

 

Q&A: Common Waxing Questions

When it comes to getting waxes, it is important to have no reservations. If you have any questions about the waxing process, we are here to fill you in. Here are some commonly asked questions what we are going to give you answers to.

How can you tell if a salon is sanitary?

You’re usually on the right track if you find a center that focuses just on hair removal. From the moment you walk into the salon, it should look and smell clean. When you are in the waxing room, the wax should be used specifically for your service should be freshly made and look presentable. Everything the waxer uses during your service should be either highly sanitized or new for your service.

Why do you get itchy down there after a wax? How can you make it stop?

Some people tend to get itchy after a bikini wax because they have used a hot, synthetic wax, which irritates the skin. Find a center that uses a better wax that is more skin-friendly. Here at FYBC, we use blue hard wax that soothing to the skin.

What can you do to make it hurt less?

First, be sure to choose the right center! Second: Don’t drink alcohol beforehand. It may seem like a good idea, but you will tighten the pores, which will make the hair more difficult to remove. Lastly, stick to a strict waxing schedule. Once your hair growth is in a pattern, it will be easier to remove, but if you’re not maintaining your waxes, it could be more uncomfortable.

4 Ways Cold Weather Can Benefit Your Skin

Often times when we think winter, we think cracked hands, dry skin, basically all the unsavory skin conditions that the cold inflicts on us. But, since there are many more months of cold weather ahead, we have looked into some of the perks of freezing temperatures. Here are 5 ways that the cold actually helps your skin!

1. Helps Keep Pores Clog-free.

The great news is that the cold weather helps reduce and keeps pores less visible and refined. Acting as a sort of tonic or astringent. the cold weather slows down the secretion of sebum which reduces acne and keeps the shine away.

2. It Can Improve your Sleep.

Getting a full night’s rest is necessary for skin health and wellness, from reducing under eye circles to keeping your skin glowing. High heat during the nighttime is proven to disturb sleep whereas the cold supports the body’s natural temperature drop during sleep. Research shows the colder the temperature in the room, the better sleep you will have.

3. It Can Reduce Puffiness

The cold promotes blood circulation in both the body and the face, which reduces inflammation and swelling!

4. It Can Help With Anti-Aging.
The cold enhances your complexion and rejuvenates your skin. It also slows down the aging process—think of cryotherapy spa treatments or splashing cold water on your face in the morning—and keeps skin tight and vibrant.
