Why a Sunless Tan is the Best Kind of Tan

It’s summer which means the sun is getting brighter, the days are growing longer, and the hemlines getting shorter. And the perfect companion for those short shorts and sundresses is a gorgeous, bronze tan. To achieve the healthy glow in the past, you would have to sit in the sun or bake in a tanning bed. However, those options come with so many negatives effects like sunburns, wrinkles, and skin cancer. That is why sunless tanning is so effective, efficient, and just plain better.

What is Sunless Tanning?

Sunless tanning is just as it’s worded; it is tanning that is done without natural or artificial sun. Also commonly referred to as self-tanning or spray tanning, sunless tanning works by applying a tanning solution or spray to your skin to produce a darker, glowing look. With the much advancement in today’s tanning technology, sunless tanning gives the same beautiful effect that you would get tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed.

The Many Positives of a Sunless Tanning

Sunless tanning has many, many benefits. To find out what they are, keep reading.

Benefit #1: Minimizes the Risk of Skin Cancer

As stated above, one of the major advantages is decreasing the risk of skin cancer that is typically associated with tanning in the sun or artificial sun. Although anyone can get skin cancer from daily exposure to the sun without the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, these risks are significantly increased when you use traditional tanning.

Benefit #2: Instant Gratification

Nowadays, instant gratification is demanded of everything and the same goes for you tanning. With traditional tanning, depending on your natural skin color, it could take several sessions to achieve the depth of color you may want. With sunless tanning, you can build upon your tan in one session.

Benefit #3: Decreases Aging and Wrinkles

Another negative impact that traditional tanning has is increasing the aging of your skin. Just how the sun causes skin cancer, the sun can dry out your skin causing it to wrinkle and get age spots. Since there is no sun involved with sunless tanning, you eliminate all of these disadvantages giving you the best of both worlds.

Here Comes the Bride: Getting Ready for Your Big Day in Dallas

If you are a bride-to-be, your upcoming wedding will undoubtedly be one of the best days of your life! With all of your family and friends in one place to celebrate your nuptials and pictures galore sure to ensue, you want to make sure you look your absolute best at all times and at every angle.

A lot of brides opt to have their hair and makeup done professionally for their big day, which usually includes false eyelashes. However, what many may not realize is that with falsies come concerns like if they will look natural or if they will slip off if you cry.

If you have any of these thoughts dancing in your head, it might be a good idea to forgo falsies and get lash extension installed instead for your big wedding day.

3 Reasons to Get Lash Extensions for Your Wedding Day

1) They Have Staying Power

With falsies, your lashes only last 24 hours, and sometimes, they don’t even last that long. When you choose lash extensions, you get a semi-permanent application that ensures that you will have beautiful lashes for your wedding day and beyond. Lash extensions that are professionally installed can last up to eight weeks if properly cared for. Because of this, you can even have them installed early if needed. This way, you look flawless for your other wedding festivities like your bachelorette party and bridal shower, too.

2) They Are Waterproof

Your wedding day will probably be emotional and full of happy tears. The last thing you want to worry about when you are saying your vows or during your first dance is whether or not your eyelashes will fall off if you tear up. With eyelash extensions, you don’t worry about ruining your eye look. Nor do you have to worry about retouching or re-gluing your lashes like you would with false eyelashes. And when the wedding and reception are done, you’re also already set for your honeymoon. In fact, with extensions, you can roll out of bed and not worry about mascara for added length and volume.

3) They Look More NaturalWedding Day Lash Extensions in Dallas

On your wedding day, you want to look like yourself, but just a bit more dolled up. When you look at your pictures and videos years down the road, you want your glam to be classic and not over the top. Therefore, it is best to go with a natural lash extension look for your big day.  With lash extensions, this is easy! Since the extensions are applied one lash at a time, you are able to work with your lash extension professional to choose a more natural, custom look. You can also specify the length, thickness, color and even design of your extensions that best fits your look.

All in all, when it comes to your wedding day, lash extensions are just better! And as the bride, you deserve the absolute best.

One-Stop Shop for Lash Extensions, Eyebrow Extensions, and Sunless Tanning

But, at Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, it doesn’t stop there! We are your one-stop upscale salon for your pre-wedding lash extensions, eyebrow extensions, waxing, and even sunless tanning.

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!

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.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Sunless Tanning (Part 1)

When it comes to beauty, there’s nothing that gives your skin a healthy, sexy, and glowing appearance like a good tan. Whether you’re in cut off shorts and a crop top on the beach or a white wedding gown walking down the aisle, a tan looks great no matter where you are or what you’re wearing. While the traditional way to achieve this bronzed look is to lie out in the sun, research has shown that prolonged sun exposure leads to premature aging of the skin as well as an increased risk for skin cancer. Luckily, there are many other methods that provide safer alternatives to sun tanning. Of all of the different options, however, spray tanning is the most customizable and natural looking.

As a local beauty salon offering everything from eyelash extensions to eyebrow threading, we know a thing or two about sunless tanning. Here are a few things to DO and DON’T before, after, and during your spray tan.

DO research

Prior to making an appointment for any beauty treatment or service, it’s extremely important to do a good amount of research. Unfortunately, many salons do not deliver on the services that they offer, whether it’s due to a lack of experience or the use of poor products. Sunless tanning in particular requires expert customization and application. Otherwise, you could end up looking too dark, too orange, or like you don’t have a tan at all.

Do a quick Internet search to find salons in your area and read the reviews for each one. Then, visit the salon’s website or contact them to learn more about their sunless tanning services, their process, and what types of products they use. For example, Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique uses organic Sjolie Sunless products and equipment, a premier spray tanning solution and the best equipment in the industry, on all of their clients.

Once you’ve found a salon that you feel comfortable with, you can schedule your appointment knowing that you’ll look nothing short of spectacular after your spray tan.

DO consider your skin tone tanning salon spray tan

Too often, men and women look orange or unnatural after getting a spray tan. This is caused by a failure to select the appropriate color and shade. Although you may desire a specific color or look, be mindful of your natural skin tone. For instance, if you have very fair skin, it’s best to stick with the lightest tint available as you will require the use of more product. Darker skin tones are more sensitive to color and absorb the tanning solution quickly; so medium to dark tones are a better fit.

Most top salons offering sunless tanning, such as Luxx Lash Salon & Boutique, will customize the tanning solution to the best shade for your skin tone. This eliminates the pressure on you to select the right color and results in a fabulous tan each time.

DO get other beauty treatments before your sunless tanning appointment

Although it may be tempting to schedule your spray tanning appointment on the same day as your other beauty treatments, it is not at all recommended. Waxing, facials, and massages should be completed at least 24 hours prior to sunless tanning. The products and oils applied during these procedures can leave a barrier on your skin, preventing it from properly absorbing the tanning solution. Also, be sure to get manicures and pedicures before the tan is applied, as foot and hand scrubs can rub away the color prematurely.
