Tips for Protecting your Skin this Summer

The Everyday Sunscreen Spray: Avene Sunscreen Spray SPF 20 We all know how important it is to incorporate sunscreen in our daily routine. Although admittedly, some of us aren’t too eager to take the extra step and make the extra effort of slathering another layer of product onto our skin. So how do we keep our beauty routine simple and at the same time, get the sun protection we direly need?   Avene, the same France-based brand that brought us those soothing and therapeutic skin care products, just came up with a solution: Avene Sunscreen Spray SPF 20. Featuring the best of both chemical and mineral formulas, this sunscreen offers full, broad-spectrum protection, shielding your skin from premature skin aging (caused by UVA rays), as well as from sunburn and skin cancer (caused by UVB rays). Among its other skin-benefitting ingredients include glycerin, a humectant that has amazing hydrating properties, and Pre-tocopheryl, a photostable form of vitamin E and a powerful antioxidant that moisturizes as it combats age-accelerating free radicals. And if that’s not enough, this hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic sunscreen is infused with the mineral-rich and biologically pure water of Avene Thermal Spring, making this the best sunscreen option for those who easily break out from other formulas. Undoubtedly, it’s the superior formulation that makes this sunscreen a cut above the rest, but we can’t discount the fact that it’s also packed in a convenient spray bottle form, making applying and re-applying sunscreen (every 2 hours is a must!) so much faster and easier! So spray on this sheer, lightweight and non-greasy formula on your face and body for a head-to-toe protection any time of the day!

Avene Sunscreen Spray SPF 20

 

What it is:

What it's used for:

Exclusive thermal water soothes and softens skin, keeping your skin healthy and radiant.

Spring 2013 Makeup Trends

 

 

Spring has Sprung.....into Color

 

Although the Midwest in March seldom feels like spring, you know its coming, you can hear the far off sounds of birds chirping, see green grass through the leftover snow, but the best way to know spring is here is by seeing COLOR, not in flowers but in MAKE UP!

 

Bright and Bold is a perfect description for the new spring trends. The runways were alive with beautiful floral's and bright color blocks those trends also translate into make-up. Bright matte lips; pink, peach and yes even red has made a comeback in a big way! Eyes are also bold and beautiful this year, by just lining your eyes right along the lash line you are now prepared to pick your bold color of choice, whether it be blue, purple or turquoise the trends for spring are simple choose a bright color and have fun!

 

Now I know we all hate rules, but there are just a couple:

 

Faces; clean and flawless, long gone are the days of bronzers, and we are all thankful :), an easy way to achieve this look is with the new BB Skin Perfecting Creamfrom Clarins, it’s the healthy way to get beautiful coverage and not look “made up”.

 

Pick one: i.e. eyes OR lips, this rule has been in effect since the eighties when we saw what happens when there are no rules! Try our new Socialite lip color with Candy a soft pink shadow from the Teddie Kossof line, if eyes are what you choose then Twilight Garden, from Teddie Kossof, is the color for you, then choose one of the Instant Light Natural Lips from Clarins, which will give your lips a perfect subtle hint of color.

Like we said bright, bold, beautiful are what's hot for spring, so come by and let us show you how these new spring looks can come alive for you!

Q & A with Alan Kossof

 

What should clients expect when they try Nectaya?

Clients will immediately realize that this hair color has a pleasant & delicate natural scent.  The Ammonia-free formula contains 91% ingredients of natural origin.

I already use Goldwell, why should I try Nectaya?

If your using Goldwell, you are ahead of the game in hair color.  Nectaya is the next generation in color technology.  We forget that hair is dead, as hairdressers, our job is to make hair look alive!  Nectaya's formulation allows our colorists to deliver exceptional hair color while at the same time, feeding the hair moisture.

I'd Like to Try Nectaya, but I have colored my hair with another brand, Can I still try it?

Absolutely! Our Colorists can match your formula with Nectaya and what you'll notice after your first application is 2 things.  First, your touch-up will be amazing & your mid-shaft & ends will thank you, as we custom-blend a formula, we will cover your hair with Nectaya and freshen-up the mid-shaft & ends.  Over time & re-application, your hair will be noticably healthier & in optimum condition.

Do I have to use special products on my hair after Nectaya?

Goldwell highly recommends that you continue your Nectaya experience at-home with Goldwells new "Green" Shampoo & Conditioner.  The duo is priced very well & complimentary when you try Nectaya for the first time. 

Have you seen proof that there is difference with Nectaya?

YES!  I have...and the proof is below.  The first photo is of another popular professional Ammonia-free color, see how the cuticle has visiable damage.  Now look at the second photo, thats Nectaya...Any Questions?
