3 Tips To Help Prolong Your Tan

By Leave a Comment

It feels so lovely to be back tanning again, I’ve really missed you all! With Summer holidays still a little uncertain, I thought I would share some top tips on how you can prolong either your spray tan or self tan.

For the best results, it’s definitely all about the preparation. Exfoliate regularly beforehand as this will help to remove all of the dead skin cells. This keeps your skin healthy and bright and creates the perfect base for your tan to be applied.

After around 4-5 days, use a Gradual Self Tan Lotion, my personal favourite is the amazing Sienna X Gradual Self Tan. It allows you to build up your colour gently and is packed full of hydrating ingredients that works wonders for your skin.

Your face will always fade quicker so why not try Sienna X Rose Water. This is really easy to apply and fuss free. Holding 10-15cm away from your face, spritz the mist over your face and neck and allow to air dry.

If self tanning at home isn’t your thing, why not come and see me for a professional spray tan. I honestly believe a spray tan is so much more than a solution being applied to your skin, it’s a mindset game changer. It will have you glowing with confidence and feeling the most beautiful version of yourself.

For more information on any of the products I’ve featured this month or if you would like some advice on how to apply them, please feel free to get in touch. As always, you can leave me a comment below or pop over to my Facebook page and come and say hello.

Now, glow and be you!

How To Calm Your Mind When You Feel Overwhelmed

By Leave a Comment

Over the past year, many of our lives have felt anything but calm. Since the pandemic began, our world seems a very different place to the one we used to know. Keeping our distance from loved ones, many parents home schooling and various lockdowns has taken its toll.

I thought I would share a few ideas with you that really help me when it all feels a little overwhelming.

Journal…

Get a pretty notebook and just write down how you’re really feeling. This book is just for you, be honest and get it all out of your head. I promise, you’ll feel so much better. Even if you are thinking now, I have no idea what to write, it’s amazing how much can come flooding out when you start.

Meditation…

I don’t know about you, but my mind always feels so busy at night. I’ve started to listen to meditation music which has really helped. There are so many on YouTube that just help calm your thoughts.

Self Care…

This is so important and something many of us often neglect. For me, it’s lighting my candles and wax melts, applying a sheet mask and just having some quiet time. For you it may be 20 minute bath or a walk outside by yourself, whatever it is that makes your heart happy, do it!

I hope these ideas have helped and maybe given you some food for thought. I’d love to know how you get on, so feel free to let me know by leaving a comment below…x

Until next time, stay safe and look after you!

Let’s Talk Make Up, Has it Seen Better Days?

Has Your Make Up Seen Better Days?

In recent months, you may have worn less make up than ever before. But with that in mind, could it possibly be time for a spring clean of your make up bag? Prior to Covid19, many of us would apply our make up on daily basis and only replace it when something runs out, dried up or we fancy a change… Cosmetic companies are not obliged to print an expiration date on their products, but did you know that we should in fact, replace our mascara every three months? If not, you are not alone! 

I’ve created a really easy guide to help you know when it’s time to show your products the bin and how you can get the best from the products and tools you use…

Finally, here are just a few tips on getting the most out of your products and tools…

When applying your mascara, try not to “pump” your mascara wand in and out of the tube. This creates air inside and will cause the product to break down more quickly and dry it out. My recommendation would be to twist the wand in and out.

To get the best out of your eyeliner pencils and lip liners, ensure you sharpen them regularly. This not only does this improve the application, it helps reduce bacteria too.

I would also recommend cleaning your make-up brushes once a month. If you are unsure what to use, I personally use the MAC Brush Cleanser. You only need a small amount, but it quickly removes product build up and helps take care of your brushes too. If you use a cosmetic sponge to apply your foundation, I would clean these once a week and replace after three months.

Until next time…
