Microblading 101

Women spend a good chunk of their life applying and removing makeup every day. One of the most common areas where makeup is utilized is the eyebrow. Take a look at our latest solution to eyebrow makeup: Microblading.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup. By definition, microblading is the technique of implanting pigment after the creation of fine incisions in the skin. Although this methods for eyebrow semi-permanent tattoos has been around for thousands of years, it is currently a trending fashion statement among women in Dallas, Texas.

Microblading is a great technique that women can use to drastically reduce their daily amount of time spent putting on makeup. The technique of microblading, or microstroking, is a great way to improve and/or create eyebrow definition, cover up gaps in eyebrow hair, extend eyebrows, or generally create a full reconstruction of eyebrows if a client’s brow has little to no hair.

After consulting with your microblading specialist, the treatment then begins with developing the desired shape of your eyebrows. After coming up with your desired eyebrow shape, you will then use the method of individual tattoo strokes applied in the desired area, in order to make the “feathers” in the area to plot shape and style required.

Is Microblading Safe?

Although the sheer thought of microblading can be seen as overwhelming to the average beauty customer. When the process is performed by a properly trained artist that knows how to use their tools, that is when the art and true safety of the process begin to shine.

There are at-home kits that people can get ahold of for microblading on their own, but it is highly recommended that people avoid these products and leave this particular beauty treatment to the professionals.

How Much Does Microblading Cost?

Microblading is definitely an investment that people make in themselves. Depending on the experience of your salon and the level of your work, microbladers can expect to spend as much as $1,000.  This may seem like a lot of money to some people, but for the many people that successfully utilize the beauty process, the outcome makes a big difference in their lives.

How Long Will My Microblade Eyebrows Last?

Microblading is not a permanent solution for your eyebrows. Prepare for touch-ups and returning to your salon every six months to a year. The length of time that your microblading lasts really depends on the amount of work done and how well you take care of them in the aftercare phase.

Everything You Need to Know About Our Eyelash Extension Adhesive

It’s no secret – eyelash extensions are an amazingly effective solution to achieving the luscious, full, and feathery lash line you’ve always wanted. However, in order to enjoy great results, it’s important to consider every aspect of the entire lash extension procedure. One of the key components of every application is the adhesive used to attach individual lashes to the eyelid. Here is everything you need to know about the eyelash extension adhesives we use.

Lash Extension Adhesive at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique

Unfortunately, many salons use low-grade adhesives that not only result in unnatural-looking lashes, but could also pose serious risks of harm to your eyes.  At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, we are dedicated to serving our clients with the highest quality products in the world. This extends to the eyelash extension department. We are proud to use products from Xtreme Lashes® Extensions, one of the global leaders in the beauty industry, at every step of the procedure – from adhesive to individual lashes.

Xtreme Lashes®  Eyelash Extensions adhesive are designed specifically to meet the highest standards for strength, drying speed, flexibility, quality, and above all – safety. One of the most unique aspects of all of their adhesives is that the primary ingredient is used for suture-less wound closure in hospital emergency and operating rooms! This makes it very effective and completely safe to use around the eyes.

At Luxx Lash, we use two different types of Xtreme Lashes®  Eyelash Extensions adhesive:  FlexFusion®  and HP-Ultra®.  FlexFusion is a hypoallergenic, medical-grade adhesive that delivers fast application, flexible and long-lasting adhesion, and is perfect for clients with sensitive eyes or those who wear contact lenses. HP-Ultra® is formulated for the fastest attachment speed without compromising safety or dependable adhesion performance.

Do Lash Extension Adhesives Contain Formaldehyde?

bad-lash-extensionsOne of the biggest concerns of our clients and many people considering eyelash extensions is the Formaldehyde content in the adhesives used by a salon. Formaldehyde is NOT an added ingredient in any Xtreme Lashes® Adhesives, as they are
formulated using the same properties and ingredients found
in medical grade adhesives.

That being said, completely “Formaldehyde Free” cyanoaryclates does not exist. Ultra low amounts of formaldehyde naturally occurs as the adhesive degrades overtime. The formaldehyde inXtreme Lashes® Adhesives has not been measurable as it is below the lowest detectable level of lab tests(HPLC/UV) that measure formaldehyde.

Understanding Formaldehyde Content

formaldehyde-content-chart-2014Formaldehyde fumes, in trace amounts, do not pose any health risks.
In fact, Formaldehyde is found in much higher concentration in numerous household products that we use everyday, such as Gerber Baby Wash, Elmer’s Glue, wooden Furniture and flooring, carpets,
clothing fabric, gas stoves, and drapery. Formaldehyde is even found
naturally within the human body.

Eyelash Extensions: Safety First!

Whether you’re considering eyelash extensions for the first-time or are a regular client, it’s important to feel 100% comfortable with every part of the procedure. At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, you can rest assured knowing that our medical-grade adhesives are the absolute best available in the industry. We are firm believers that “the eyes are the gateway to the soul”, and that they should be treated with utmost respect, care, and attention.

5 Reasons Why Eyelash Extensions Are THE Accessory for the Holiday Season

Holiday season is finally upon us! Whether you’re decorating a Christmas tree, lighting a menorah, enjoying a Kwanzaa Karamu feast, or counting down for the New Year, the holidays are all about spending time with those you love.

As your calendar fills up with family dinners, parties, and other events, you’ve likely given some thought to your look for the season. Ruby red, emerald green, metallics, and sequins are all classic holiday wardrobe staples. No matter what your party ensembles look like, there’s one accessory that will go with every outfit – eyelash extensions. Here are 5 reasons why lash extensions are truly a must-have for the holiday season.

1. They Save Time

The holiday season is an extremely busy time. From decorating to shopping for gifts, entertaining, and party-going, you need every minute you can get. Lash extensions can help you get more out of your day but significantly shortening your morning beauty routine. Eyelash extensions add both length and volume to your lash line, eliminating the need for mascara and eyeliner – often the most time consuming parts of makeup application. Besides washing your face, brushing your teeth, and applying some moisturizer, you can jump right out of bed and start running your holiday errands, all while looking perfectly polished.

 2. They’re Long Lasting Lashes

Technically speaking, the holiday season is approximately 5 weeks long. It begins during Thanksgiving and ends on New Years Day with Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa in between. This means weeks of parties and gatherings that you’ll want to look your best for. Luckily, semi-permanent eyelash extensions can last up to 6 weeks, keeping you covered throughout the entire season.

3. They Help Save You Money

It’s no secret that full, dramatic eyelashes add glamor and beauty to one’s face. To get this effect, many women resort to using false lashes. Unlike eye lash extensions, most false lashes are disposable and can only be used once. This means that a new set of fake eyelashes would be required for every event or gathering. Hence, although they may seem less expensive than volume lashes, the collective cost of false lashes for all of your events can far exceed that of one set of eyelash extensions. Rather than spending a few dollars here and there for synthetic eyelashes, invest in one application of mink or volume lashes to save a bit of money.

4. They Look Great on Everyonelash extensions holidays

One of the most challenging parts of piecing together an outfit is finding items that have the right look and feel. With lash extensions, however, you can skip the stress of the dressing rooms and go straight to admiring how fabulous you look. No matter what your age, personal style, eye shape, or eye color, lash extensions are simply stunning on everyone. Not only do they add length and volume; they’re also incredible lightweight, giving the appearance and feel of natural lashes.

5. A Gift to Yourself

During the holiday season, we’re so focused on entertaining and purchasing gifts for others that we often forget about ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with a little indulgence, especially when it has all of the beautifying benefits and convenience that lash extensions do.

Want to add some glamour to your look this holiday season? Book an appointment with Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique today!

Lash Out at Breast Cancer with Pink Eyelash Extensions

Every October, people all over the world celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month. The purpose of this month is to bring attention to a very common and life-threatening disease that enters the lives of more than 200,000 women each year and claims the lives of over 40,000. However, over the years, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been transformed into a celebration of the strength and bravery of women who are fighting or have fought breast cancer. One of the most universal and recognizable ways that people show their solidarity is to wear the color pink. While the month of October is coming to a close, with Luxx Lash Salon and Boutique’s pink eyelash extension highlights by Xtreme Lashes, you can wear your support for breast cancer on your lash line all year long.

 

 

The History of Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

If you had a dollar for every time you saw the color pink on a person or product in October, you’d be a millionaire by the end of the month. But how did pink become the official symbol for breast cancer awareness? According to the Maurer Foundation for Breast Health Education, the first uses of pink date all the way back to the 19th century. During this time, many women wore yellow ribbons to honor their fathers, brothers, and husbands serving in the military. The hit song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” by Dawn reemphasized this practice, and families began tying yellow ribbons around trees as a tribute to loved ones held in the Iran hostage crisis.

The idea of wearing a colored ribbon to show support and solidarity spread over the years. Red ribbons were popular in the 80s and 90s to support AIDS awareness, and other causes and charities began adapting the concept to make it their own. In 1992, Alexandra Penney and Evelyn Lauder (the editor-in-chief of Self Magazine and breast cancer survivor and VP of Estée Lauder, respectively) joined forces to invent a pink ribbon. With 1.5 million pink ribbons, a breast self-exam card, and a petition to the White House to increase funding for breast cancer research, breast cancer awareness was born at Estee Lauder makeup counters all across the U.S. 20 years later, the color is still used as a symbol for health, life, and the empowerment of women.

 

 

breast cancer awareness lash extensionsWhy Breast Cancer Awareness Matters to Luxx Lash

Working in the beauty industry, the majority of our clients are women. Our company’s mission is to use our services to empower Dallas women of various backgrounds and age groups, and we pride ourselves on doing so every single day. We work to express our belief that every woman should feel strong, confident, and beautiful on the inside and out. According to BreastCancer.org, 1 in 8 American women will develop an invasive form of breast cancer during her lifetime and 40,290 women are expected to die this year. Reading these statistics, we don’t just see numbers. We see daughters, mothers, wives, sisters, and grandmothers who are loved. We see our clients. And we see the need for a cure.

Throughout the month of October, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique has contributed 10% of all proceeds from lash highlight services to Susan G. Komen. By doing so, we hope to support the hunt for a cure while educating our clients about breast health.

 

About Lash Highlights: Eyelash Extensions with a Flare of Color

Lash extension highlights provide everything that you love about mink lashes and eyelash extensions – volume, natural feel and appearance, feathery light weight, and elimination of the need for mascara – with an added benefit of personalization through a burst of color. You can choose from a variety of colors, including pink, yellow, blue, and green, and combine different shades for a unique look that will make your eyes pop.

With pink lash extensions that last 3 to 4 weeks, you can rock pink eyelashes to support breast cancer awareness all year long. They are a great conversation starter and support an amazing cause!

Get On Trend with Eyebrow Extensions

Goodbye, stick thin eyebrows. Hello, thick, luscious brows!

For the past few years, thicker eyebrows have been all the rage. However, for those with over plucked eyebrows, making this trend happen is lot easier said than done. This is especially true if you’ve waxed, plucked or threaded for years. Since these hair removal options pull hair directly from the root, eventually the plucked hairs grow back really thin or don’t grow back at all.

Because of the thick eyebrow trend, eyebrows extensions have become the newest beauty craze! And, Luxx Lash can help you get the look.

How Eyebrow Extensions Work

If you’ve ever had individual lashes installed, the installation of eyebrow extensions is very similar. Our professional technician first creates an outline of your ideally perfect brows. Next, individual eyebrow hairs that match your hair color are installed in the sparse areas using specialty glue. By the end of your appointment, you will have beautiful eyebrows that are hypoallergenic, waterproof, and even sweat proof.

Eyebrow extensions give you an opportunity to get perfect eyebrows that can last for up to 24 days with proper maintenance.

Eyebrow Extensions Tips

Are you ready to book your eyebrow extensions appointment?  Before you do, here are some things you need to know about our Revive-A-brow™ Eyebrow Extensions.

Prep First

Before your appointment, be sure to prep. This means leaving your heavy eye creams and eye makeup at home.

Since eyebrow extensions are applied either directly to the skin or to your natural brow hairs, a clean surface is needed. This allows the adhesive to bond better and provide you with a better installation. Also, if possible, let your eyebrows grow out. By doing so, you will be able to have more extensions installed “hair to hair” possibly giving your eyebrow extensions a longer lifespan.

Be Patient

Remember, there is an art to eyebrow extensions. It takes time to perfect, so it is important that you are very patient at your appointment. Since the technician has to apply each hair individually, the process could be an hour or more. By being patient, you will get a stunning and natural look as the end result.

Don’t Touch

This may be a lot harder to follow, but, once your brow extensions are done, try your best not to touch them. Naturally, you have oil at your fingertips. So, touching your newly minted eyebrows will only interfere with the fresh glue and cause the hairs to loosen quicker.

Book Your Appointment at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique

At Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, we are your one-stop shop for everything from eyebrow extensions, eyelash extensions, waxing, and sunless tanning.

We also make it convenient by having two locations – one in Addison and one in Richardson!

From Eyebrow Extensions to Tweezers: The Guide to Perfect Eyebrows

If there’s one beauty trend that defined the year 2015, it’s “eyebrows on fleek”. Perfectly shaped brows have become more than just good grooming – they’re a must-have fashion accessory. With hundreds of video tutorials and Pinterest manuals on how to get the perfect brows, we don’t see this trend going anywhere anytime soon. From eyebrow extensions to tweezers, here are a few tips to help your brows reach their full “fleekness” potential.

 

Find an Eyebrow Threading Artist You Love

The internet is full of them – horror stories of eyebrow waxing and threading. Unfortunately, many people fall victim to inexperienced, and even unqualified, eyebrow artists that damage the shape of their brows. If you are new to eyebrow threading or are looking for a more seasoned artist, find a beauty salon that specializes in eyebrows rather than one that includes eyebrow threading on a menu along with 100 other services. Rather than just hiring anyone who threads eyebrows, these salons recruit only those who are masters of the art of eyebrow shaping. Once you find an artist you trust, don’t let them go!

 

Invest in a Good Set of Tweezers

Most people visit the eyebrow salon at least once a month to maintain their shape. However, depending on your hair growth rate, you may need to keep a set of tweezers in your makeup bag to keep them well-groomed in between. You can find good tweezers anywhere from drug stores to high end makeup counters. No matter what brand you choose, make sure that it feels comfortable in your hands.

The best time to tweeze your brows is right after a shower, when your pores are open and relaxed. Do your best to stay as far away from the shape as possible. Only pluck the hairs that are a safe distance away. A magnifying mirror and good lighting can help you get a closer look and nip any stray hairs right out of the bud. If you fear you might go a little tweezer-happy with your brows, solicit the help of a friend.

 

eyebrow pencil and eyelash extensions for perfect browsFill Them in (Naturally)

Sharpie eyebrows belong back in the 90’s, not on your face. While filling in your eyebrows with makeup can create a beautiful, bold look, you don’t want to overdo it to the point where it looks unnatural. Instead, use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder on an angled brush a shade or two lighter than your natural hair color. Apply the powder or liner in strokes, following the existing shape of your brows. Remember, you don’t want to recreate the shape, but rather emphasize it. When you’re done, lightly brush a highlighting product directly beneath the brows to further enhance the arch and shape.

 

Try Eyebrow Extensions

For those of us not naturally blessed with full, thick, dark eyebrows like the Kardashians and Cara Delevingne, flawless brows are still possible. Eyebrow extensions are a safe, effective way to achieve a perfectly beautiful shape. Unlike eyelash extensions, which can only be applied to existing natural eyelashes, brow extensions can be applied directly to the skin with a special skin glue, even in areas where no hair is present. This allows unlimited potential for eyebrow shaping, and makes it a great option for women who have gone through chemotherapy or suffer alopecia.

 

Statement brows do more than just add beauty, glamour, and youthfulness to one’s appearance – they also provide a huge boost of confidence, allowing your inner beauty to shine, as well. Contact Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique to schedule an appointment and get the eyebrows of your dreams!

7 Beauty Trends to Look Forward to in 2016

In addition to the opportunity for a new beginning, hope, adventure, and  excitement, a new year opens doors to new beauty and fashion trends. While some trends are reincarnated from the past, many are completely new ideas. Here are 7 of the hottest beauty trends to follow in 2016 for a fabulous new year.

 

  1. Sparkly Eyelids

Whether you’re looking for a subtle way to add a little extra glamour to an evening look or wanting to dress it up for a special event, glittery eyelids are a trendy way to amp up your look. To get the look, use loose glitter powder, sparkly eyeshadows, or glittery eye pencils. Begin experimenting with common metallic colors, such as gold and silver, and work your way into more bold options such as blue, green, and purple. If you wear eyelash extensions, be sure to stick to products that are safe to avoid lash extensions falling out prematurely.

 

  1. Brushed-Up Eyebrows

While 2015 was all about “brows on fleek”, natural, brushed-up eyebrows are what’s hot this year. Rather than focusing on a deep arch and precise drawn in shape, give your brows room to grow for a more feathery look. Use an eyebrow brush to comb your brows up and add some extra fluff. If you have sparse or overly plucked eyebrows, eyebrow extensions are a safe, natural-looking way to add some oomph to your look.

 

  1. red lipstick beauty trend 2016Bold Yet Classic Lip Colors

Many crazy colored lipsticks filled makeup counters last year, including everything from white to cobalt blue. The boldness factor will carry into 2016, but with a more classic twist. Colors like deep pinks, reds, brown, and nudes are making a comeback. Also, forget the Kylie Jenner lip challenge because this year is all about embracing what you have. You can use lip liner, lipstick, or gloss, stay true to your natural lip line to avoid an unnatural look.

 

  1.  Glowing Skin

A sunkissed glow is always in style, and it will continue to be in 2016. In addition to sunless tanning, use a touch of makeup to put the spotlight on your best features. Pat clear lip gloss on your cheekbones, nose, and your eyelids for a subtle sheen that will make you look like you’re always in the perfect lighting. Think strobing, but less dramatic.

 

  1. Short Nails

Many of the beauty trends in 2016 are toned down versions of our favorite trends in previous years. In the nail department, for example, crazy nail art will still be very much in style this year. However, long coffin nails, stiletto nails, and bubble nails are long gone. Keep your nails at a shorter, more natural shape. However, don’t hold back from your favorite nail art trends, like matte polish, and out-of-the-box french tips.

 

  1. Modern Short Hairmedium bob hair trends 2016

Many celebrities have already begun chopping their locks for this trend. A long bob is extremely chic that is still lengthy enough to style and color. It’s also much easier to maintain, which is always a big plus in the hair and beauty department.

 

  1. Glamorous Lashes

Voluminous lashes had their big moment in 2015 and will continue to be on the beauty scene this year. Use lengthening mascaras to amplify your lash line or invest in semi-permanent lash extensions for thick, beautiful eyelashes that will last for weeks at a time.


No matter if you rock glittery lids, subtle strobing, lash extensions or all of the above in 2016, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique wishes you a fabulous new year!

5 Celebrities Who Proudly Wear Eyelash Extensions

Over the past few years, eyelash extensions have become one of the hottest beauty trends. Local lash extension salons like Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique bring the biggest names in false lashes to the public at a price that doesn’t break the bank. However, it wasn’t long ago that volume lashes were only available to the elite. A-list celebrities were among the first to experiment with the feathery, luscious, lightweight lashes, and many of them are eye lash extension clients to this day. Although many celebrities make a point not to share their beauty secrets, there are some who proudly rave about their favorite products. Here are 5 celebrities who have openly professed their love for semi-permanent eyelash extensions.

 

1. Jennifer Lopez

One of the first celebrities to spill the beans on the secret to longer, thicker, natural-looking lashes was Jennifer Lopez. She debuted her long eyelashes, paired with a sheer-topped, champagne-colored Chanel gown, back in 2001 at the Academy Awards. She has since spoken about her love for eyelash extensions on several occasions, and says she prefers wearing mink lashes as they mimic the weight and feel of her natural lashes. She even likes her backup dancers to stay all lashed up and requests that their makeup artists use Xtreme lashes.

2. Kim Kardashian

You can see Kim Kardashian bat her long and glamorous eyelashes from a mile away. However, she does not like the unnatural look that traditional false lashes have. So what’s the secret, you ask? Volume lashes! Since they’re applied individually to each natural eyelash, they add extreme volume to her lash line without making them look too overdone, creating the signature look the reality star is known for.

 

 Kylie Jenner Lashes3. Kylie Jenner

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to the Kardashian/Jenner family and long, sexy eyelashes. Kylie Jenner in particular has become a trendsetter in her own right, both in fashion and beauty. In addition to her plump lips, Kylie’s everyday look includes feathery lashes. She recently posted a photo on Instagram with a caption saying “Yes, I have eyelash extensions”.

4. Beyonce

Queen Bey always looks impeccable – whether it’s on the red carpet or off. The singer exclaims, “I woke up like this”, but does she also wake up with those amazing eyelashes? According to her makeup artist, Wei Lang, she does indeed. Lang originally introduced Beyonce to mink lashes a few years ago and she has been hooked ever since. Since eye lash extensions last up to 4 to 6 weeks, she is able to sleep with them and wake up with flawless, fluffy eyelashes.

As a pop singer, Katy Perry dons elaborate costumes and bright makeup while she is on tour and performing. However, she recently told Glamour magazine that although she loves her character on stage, she does not always have time to maintain the same look at home. Instead, she focuses mainly on her lashes, eyebrows, and natural skin. She adores eyelash extensions, as they make her feel like Disney’s Bambi – even on the days when she is not surrounded by her beauty squad.

Although it might seem otherwise, lash extensions cost an affordable amount to have applied and maintained every few weeks.

Product Review: Xtreme Lashes Total Eye Repair Serum

These days, it seems like there are millions of beauty products available on the market. They promise to either enhance or beautify a certain feature, hide a common flaw, or fight aging. Unfortunately, sometimes these products do not deliver what they promise, leading us to try dozens of different types of products until we find one that actually gets the job done. However, with the Total Eye Repair Serum by Xtreme Lashes, you won’t need or want to try any other eye cream.

What is Xtreme Lashes Total Eye Repair Serum?

Xtreme Lashes Total Eye Repair Serum is the first and only anti-aging eye care treatment that is compatible with semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Its oil-free formula has revolutionized the beauty regimen of lash wearers around the globe. Not only does it contain innovative aging-reversing ingredients, it is also 100% safe to use on eyes with eye lash extensions. It is clinically proven to visibly firm, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of aging on the delicate skin on the eyelids and under the eyes. It is the key to more youthful looking eyes with both short-term and long-term benefits.

The Total Eye Repair Serum contains regenerative properties that help fight the signs of aging and maintain a youthful appearance.

Multi-peptide Complex

This helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by initiating the body to create more collagen, which is vital for elasticity and results in supple, firm skin. This innovative technology helps prevent collagen breakdown, which occurs naturally due to enzymes as a woman ages.

MicroLift Complex

Another concern of women seeking anti-aging beauty products is sagging skin. This is addressed with the serum’s MicroLift Complex, which visibly lifts and firms the eye area. When applied, its redensifying peptides penetrate deeper layers of the skin to actually restructure the look of sagging skin. It provides both instant and long-term benefits to the tone and texture of the delicate skin around the eyes.

Hyaluronic Sponge Delivery System

The serum’s formula utilizes microscopic hyaluronic acid sponges to penetrate age fighting ingredients into the skin. With a sustained release system, it continues to provide hydration throughout the day and night.

 

Does it Work?

According to an independent clinical study during which participants tried the product, 86% of them felt a significant improvement in skin firmness just after 6 hours. After routine use of the serum for 8 weeks,

  • 92% of participants noticed significant improvement in skin firmness
  • 89% of participants noticed significant improvement in skin smoothness
  • 86% of participants noticed significant improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • 81% of participants noticed reduce puffiness around the eyes

The Do’s and Don’ts of Sunless Tanning (Part 2)

Sunless tanning is a safe, easy, and affordable way to get a flawless, natural-looking, beautiful bronze tan that will keep you glowing at any time of the year. While there are many self-tanning products available, it is always best to make an appointment at a tanning or beauty salon and have it done professionally.

In addition to services such as lash extension and eyebrow extension application, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique also offers sunless tanning. We use organic Sjoulie Sunless products and equipment, which is known as the premier tanning product in the industry, on all of our clients. However, while selecting an experienced local salon that uses high quality products is important, there are a few things that you should and shouldn’t do in order to extend the life of your tan. Here are a few DO’s and DON’Ts of sunless tanning, continued from Part 1.

DON’T schedule spray tans more than once per week

Whether it’s achieved indoors, outdoors, or through a spray tan, there are many different reasons why people desire a golden bronze color on their skin. A tan defines and highlights the toned parts of your body while camouflaging stretch marks and cellulite, giving the illusion of a slimmer figure. It evens out your skin tone, giving you a flawless complexion without a drop of foundation. In other words, a tan can transform your look from ordinary to supermodel.

With all of the aesthetic benefits, it’s easy to get hooked on regular tanning. However, it’s important to keep your spray tanning sessions at least 10 days apart. Similar to nail polish, you want the majority of the spray to be washed off your skin before applying a new coat. Failure to do so will result in an uneven and unnatural looking finish.

DO prepare your skin

Prior to your appointment, you want to make sure that your skin is prepped and ready to absorb the tanning solution. Think of it as creating a clean, smooth, even canvas for your sunless tanning artist to paint on. Showering, shaving, and exfoliating your skin before a tanning session will ensure that your final look is a stunning work of art.

DO wear the right clothing before and after your sunless tanning appointment

If you’ve ever seen a spray tanning session in progress, you know that most clients wear little to no clothing in order to tan as much skin as possible. Although many tanning salons provide disposable bras and underwear for clients to wear during the procedure, you still need a comfortable outfit to arrive and leave in. Opt for an outfit that is loose and comfortable. While most professional tanning solutions dry quickly, it’s always possible for it to rub off with the friction of tight clothing. Also, wear something dark colored to avoid staining lighter clothing.

DON’T sit in water

Thankfully, there aren’t many things that are off-limits with a spray tan. However, one of the few things that you should not do is soak in water. This means that baths and swimming should be avoided if you’d like to maximize the life of your tan. In general, you should limit your time in the water. To get in and out of the shower quickly, rinse and use soap only in necessary areas.

DO use touch-up productssunless tanning maintenance

To prolong your spray tan as much as possible, invest in some tan-friendly products such as light bronzing creams and towelettes. This is especially recommended during a vacation or trip where you will be spending time in the water.

Spray tans are relatively low maintenance. However, by following these tips, you can get the most out of each tan and make your sexy bronze glow last as long as possible.
