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.

3 Tips To Help Prepare Your Skin For Sun Exposure

Exfoliate and Hydrate

Although neither exfoliating or hydrating your skin can protect you from harmful UV rays, exfoliation and hydration are crucial steps in preparing your skin for sun exposure. Exfoliating is important because it helps remove dead skin cells that build up on the surface of your face after you tan. It is important to remember to not exfoliate before stepping out into the sun, as it removes the protective layer of your skin.

Tanning or any sort of sun exposure has a way of drying out your skin. It is proven that drier skin is more vulnerable to harmful UV rays. By hydrating frequently you are not only moisturizing and replenishing your skin, but you are helping rebuild the protective layer of your skin.

Make Small Diet Changes

It is true that you can improve your skin’s resistance and protect against UV rays by making small changes to your diet! Foods rich in antioxidants, beta-carotene and carotenoids like apricots, peas, carrots, melon, tomatoes, squash, mangos and kale will help your skin when it comes time to reintroduce direct sunlight. Consider consuming more Vitamin E as well. Vitamin E sources like almonds, nuts and vegetable oil offer their own type of protection from the sun.

Slow, Progressive Exposure

The key to maintaining a glow without damaging your skin is to go slow. Progressive sun exposure is the only “safe” way reintroduce your skin to the sun. Keep in mind that you should avoid burning while being in the sun.  Remember that burning increases your risk to skin cancer. Tanning is not good for your skin, so find a great SPF that covers all the UVA and UVB ray spectrum. Keep your sun exposure short and sweet for your safety and your overall look. If you are simply dying to get your summertime glow before spring hits, book an appointment for a spray tan today!

Pumpkin: For More Than Just Carving

 

Autumn is upon us, which means we no longer have to feel shy about our love for all things pumpkin. Although pumpkin is commonly looked upon as a flavor of delicious desserts and foods, pumpkin in its original form, is packed with vitamin C, E, B and beta-carotene. This means along with being tasty, pumpkin can improve the health of your skin and hair. Get cozy, grab a PSL and learn all there is to know about the wonderful benefits pumpkin can have on your skin this season. If you are looking to improve the overall health and quality of your skin, applying pumpkin facials or adding it to your diet can help immensely.

B Vitamins: 

Pumpkin contains a strong source of most all the B vitamins, including niacin, B6 and folate. Niacin directly helps with the treatment of acne! Folate helps your skin cells renew faster!

Vitamin C: 

Vitamin C helps protect and prevent wrinkles and even skin cancer.  Eating vitamin C rich foods, like pumpkin encourage collagen production! Eat more pumpkin and your skin is sure to become more elastic.

Minerals: 

Pumpkin contains abundant sources of copper, magnesium, and iron. Zinc fights acne, maintains current collagen in your skin, and protects the cell membrane. Pumpkin is also rich in zinc and copper, which is crucial to healthy skin.

Carotenoids: 

Have you ever wondered why are pumpkins orange? Alpha-carotene, beta-carotene are protective antioxidants responsible for giving pumpkins their color. Food that is rich in carotenoids are known to help reverse UV damage and improve the overall texture of your skin.

Besides the consumption of pumpkin, you can receive its many benefits by incorporating pumpkin into masks, facial creams or peels. Here is a great face mask that will rejuvenate and restore your skin.

• 1/2 can of pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup of yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Chilled Goats Milk

By chilling and soaking cotton rounds in raw goats milk, you can fight most eye infections and irritation.

Organic is a must. This Aloe Vera Chill is both moisturizing and soothing.

5 Things To Do For Your Skin This Fall

In the coming months your skin is going to be exposed to colder outdoor temperatures, high wind, low humidity and blazing indoor heat. Although avoiding the elements is virtually unavoidable, there are ways you can combat and lessen the effects of the change in weather and temperature. Our team of skin specialists are some of the best in the Denver area. We know what it takes to get you through this fall and winter looking your best. Here are some of our at home skincare secrets that will leave you feeling smooth from head to toe.

Moisturize x2

Although this seems like a given, most people don’t moisturize properly or as frequent as they should. The most important rule is to moisturize with lotion after your shower. Find another time during the day to reapply. Set yourself up to reapply multiple times a day by keep your favorite lotion by your bedside or with you at work. Finding a lotion that isn’t too thick and creamy is always a plus.

A Humidifier Works Wonders

This may be the easiest yet most important tip of them all. Not only will you see immediate affects, but you don’t have to actively do anything to get positive results! Leave your humidifier running while you are sleeping. Not only will your skin be better moisturized in the morning but you will breathe better through the night.

Ditch the Harsh Soap

Get yourself a mild soap and cleanser. One of the biggest mistakes people make when caring for their skin is how harsh they handle it. Scrubbing your face till it’s irritated is one of the worst things you could do during chillier months. Avoid products with glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Get a cleanser with oils and fats. Cleanse your face with the help of a brush for a deep cleanse but without harsh pressure.

Less Tub Time

This is our least favorite tip too. Although we all love a long bath, time spent in the tub washes away a great deal of your essential and protective oils. You need these oils as your skin gets drier. Protective oils ensure that your skin holds on to its natural moisture, for longer. Cut your bath time to 15 minutes or less for better moisturized skin.

Drink Water and Eat Better

Hydrating from the inside is an essential step. The presence of water gives your skin firmer and plumper qualities. For the best results, drink 2-4 glasses a day. As for your dietary intake, you are what you eat. If you are supplying your body with antioxidants and fatty acids, your body will not only feel healthier from the inside but will translate that positivity to your skin.

By adding these skin tips to your daily regimen, your skin can make it through the colder months looking fresh and hydrated. Support the care you are giving your skin at home with our services. One of our chemical peels, microdermabrasion or other facials can help. For an appointment, call or book online today.
