How To Save Your Skin This Summer

By Leave a Comment

Our Summer getaways may be looking a little different this year with many of us looking for something a little closer to home. However, our typical British weather can be unpredictable; so this month, I thought I would share some top tips on how to save your skin this Summer.

SLIP on clothing, this can be one of the most effective barriers between our skin and the sun. Make sure shoulders are protected as they can burn easily.

SLOP on SPF 30+ Sunscreen, make sure it carries a UVA symbol and apply generously at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.

SLAP on a wide brimmed hat to shield face, neck and ears.

SLIDE on the shades and go for high quality protection, look for the european CE mark which indicates a safe level of protection.

SHADE from the sun where possible, particularly between the hours of 11am-3pm when the sun is at its hottest.

By following these steps above, you’ll be doing all you can to take care of your skin. The safest way you can tan is either a professional spray tan or self tanning. It will give you that golden glow you crave and will have you glowing with confidence. The one thing it won’t give you is skin cancer!

Finally, please do one thing for me, check your moles. If you notice even the slightest change, whether that’s in size, shape, colour, becoming itchy or raised, please go and see your GP. It might just save your life!

Until next time, enjoy your getaway and look after your skin this Summer!

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!
