Heading for a sunny destination? Practical safe sun tips

Tuesday, February 07, 2012

Wear sunscreen SPF 15 or higher reapply every 90minutes *very important. Lotions work great for the body however for the face, neck & décolleté wear Sunforgettable mineral powder SPF 30 one quick swoosh and your protected.

Don’t forget your lips as they have no pigment and can easily burn. Grab Colorescience lip shine with an SPF 35 when heading out.

Hats can be lots of fun and they can protect your face and eyes, or grab and umbrella, sit under a tree, or simply wear long sleeve shirts to protect yourself when out in the sun.

The key is to practice safe sun, everything in moderation as we still need to absorb our Vitamin D intake, just be careful what time of the day you are out and for how long, short visits are a healthy approach when outdoors.

These days there are many products available to give you that sun kissed glow without baking in the sun.

Sunless self tanning products – Pevonia has a nice product that leaves you streak free with a nice golden brown tan.

Wash off tan products – when you want ‘no commitment’ but like a little color daily.

Bronzers- great for the face, neck and décolleté – Colorescience ‘It’s only natural’ is a soft natural brown, mineral based and with a SPF 20 is there anything more you want!

Afterglow brushes by Colorescience are beautiful skin highlighters and perfect for giving the skin a youthful glow, while at the same time protecting and treating the skin. Not only great for the face, but also great for those exposed décolleté, and bare shoulders during the summer!
                                                        

How to get a Bare and Smooth body

Monday, March 21, 2011

I'd like to have hair-free legs, is it possible and how long will it take? 
 
Yes, it is possible with Laser Hair Reduction and in just two treatments you will notice a reduction in hair growth. On average a series of 6-8 treatments every 8-12 weeks to treat any body area. You will be well on your way in no time to smooth silky legs.

Can men have Laser Hair Reduction treatments done?
Yes, actually it is very common for Men to have their backs treated and the average series would apply the same 6-8 treatments every
8-12 weeks.

What can I do for those pesky hairs on my chin?

Laser Hair Reduction can control the hair, though the hairs on the chin are always hormonal- which will be an on-going treatment to stunt the hair growth. On average a series of 4-5 treatments every
4-6weeks.  

Here is one client's experience;
After just two treatments I noticed a reduction in the amount of hair. I feel much more confident, no shaving especially in the winter as my skin gets dry. I Love the way my legs feel so smooth and soft and the way they look! We just returned from holidays and I had no need to pack a shaver or feel like I had to stop and think before hopping in the pool. I would do it all over once again!  Angele B.
