5 Top Tips For Creating The Perfect Tan!

By Leave a Comment

When it comes to creating a flawless tan, preparation really is the key. As the weather becomes warmer, what better time to share my 5 top tips for helping you create the perfect glow…

Hair Removal…

It’s always best to wax or shave at least 24/48 hours before you apply your tan. This allows your pores to reduce in size before your tan application. If hair removal is done to close to application, this is when “dotting” can occur. (This is where the product sits within the pores and looks like freckles)

Exfoliate…

This helps to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, which rejuvenates the skin and reveals a smoother surface for your tan to be applied. The Sienna X Exfoliating Mitt is perfect for this as it’s gentle on the skin and yet so effective. This can also be used to remove old tan build up ready for new tan to be applied.

Tanning Accessories…

If you are choosing to create your tan at home, I would highly recommend a Sienna X Tanning Mitt and Self Tan Primer. Both of these are a complete game changer. The Tanning Mitt helps to create a beautiful finish as well as being fully lined to avoid any product staining your palms. The Self Tan Primer is the perfect way to hide those tell-tale signs of self tanning, by applying to dry areas such as hands, elbows, knees and ankles.

Get The Best From Your Tan…

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! This helps to keep your skin hydrated and your tan looking at its best. Hands and face will always fade quicker so why not opt for the Sienna X Rose Water to prolong that golden glow for longer.

Tan Like A Pro…

Finally, if the thought of a self tan fills you with dread, why not get in touch with me for a professional spray tan. I will take into account your skin tone, how you tan naturally in the sun and your desired result and together, we can create the most beautiful, flawless glow for you.

3 Skin Saviours For Autumn

By Leave a Comment

With the colder weather on its way, I wanted to share some “hero products” with you to help protect your skin and give you 3 skin saviours for Autumn.

The first one is The Cleansing Balm. This 3-in-1 luxury balm removes even the most durable waterproof and longwear makeup whilst also removing negative traces left behind from pollution. You’ll love the versatility of this 6-natural-oils balm which can be used as follows;

Cleanse
A double cleanser starts with an oil to lift sebum, dirt and pollution while nourishing the skin. When water is added the Balm becomes milky and creamy, encapsulating all dirt for effective removal.

Remove Make-up
Removes stubborn longwear make-up and even waterproof mascara in this process.

Mask
Can be used as a 10 minute mask to nourish and hydrate the skin – great for skin of all ages.

The second is The Miracle Mask. This revolutionising moisture hit in a mask with 10% Natural Manuka Honey helps your skin appear instantly brighter and blemish-free. Can be used as a mask as well as an overnight moisturiser for a deeper level of hydration.

Please be advised The Miracle Mask is not suitable for vegans, but was too good to leave out of the collection. The Honey was sourced from an ethical farm and no bees were harmed.

Finally, The Facial Oil. This lightweight Oil contains a unique blend of 5 botanical lipids harnesses a powerful and patented active ingredient, White Lupin Seeds, which have been proven in clinical studies to improve the firmness and elasticity to the skin.

If you would like any additional advice, feel free to leave a comment below or email me, I’d love to help!

Until next time,

Are Facials Really Worth It?

By Leave a Comment

A Facial is sometimes seen as more of a treat than a necessity, but did you know there are more benefits than you might think? This month I thought I’d share the facts and why a facial is so much more than just an hour of relaxation…

  1. Detoxifies Skin… Removing your make up with just a wipe at the end of the day doesn’t count as cleansing your face. In fact, all this does is move the dirt around it. During your facial, your skin will be deeply cleansed and exfoliated to leave a brighter, smoother and refreshed complexion.
  2. Boosts Collagen… Collagen is effectively the “scaffolding’ of our faces. This is the protein which helps give our skin its plumpness. As we age, our collagen production decreases and so by having a regular facial (every 4-6 weeks, depending on skin type), this can help to improve and boost our collagen production.
  3. Facial Massage… The massage element of a facial is of course one of the most relaxing parts. However, did you know that it also helps to improve blood flow, carrying fresh oxygen to the cells and drain away the toxins via our lymphatic system? Skin will look smoother and less puffy due to the increase in cell renewal.
  4. Reduces Stress… Stress and anxiety can cause massive disruption to our sleep patterns. By using techniques such as EFT, (Emotional Freedom Technique) which feature in our luxury facial , during your evening skincare routine, you can help calm your mind before bed helping you to get a better nights sleep.
