Easy Home Spa Treatments
Coloring your hair at home is easier than ever. Home hair-dying technology has made advances since first marketed and are widely available. For first timers, or those who want a subtle change, try a color no more than two shades lighter or darker than your natural color (many women prefer darker until May or June when they go lighter). Remember to wear a shirt and use a towel you don’t mind getting color on. To ensure a picture perfect result, without the hair color stains many women get on their skin from darker colors, use the Repelle Skin Shield Wand to protect your forehead and ears. Used in salons, this wand will keep hair color where you want and leave skin moisturized, soft and stain-free. Last, treat your new hue with a conditioner that will help seal in color and leave hair silky soft. You can have clear, glowing skin anytime you want with an at-home facial. Start by cleansing the skin. Try using a milky cleanser which is most gentle. Next step is to exfoliate to clean pores and help moisturizer penetrate the skin. Avoid natural scrubs with fruit kernels or nut shells, such as apricot or walnut, which can scratch the skin. Next, apply your favorite mask. Use one that fits with your skin type: sensitive, dry or oily. Let the mask set for the designated time. During this time, try relaxation exercises. Take deep breaths and focus on relaxing each muscle. Wash face of mask and finish with a moisturizer on your face, around your eyes and neck. Instead of running to the spa every few weeks for manicures or pedicures, give yourself one at home! Try filling a tub with your favorite bath soak and immerse hands and feet for 15 minutes. Lavender and vanilla soaks add a calming element and cucumber and peppermint refresh. Dry and massage feet and hands and push back cuticles. Buff nails and finish with a fresh coat of nail color. Use a vitamin rich lotion or cream such as Repelle for extra soft hands and feet. Soothe achy muscles, refresh skin and relieve stress with a warm therapeutic bath. Start with your favorite bath salt for a rejuvenating cleansing experience. Run water to your preferred temperature and make sure your doors are closed to keep bath time private from interrupting family members. Turn the lights low, light candles or turn on some light music to enhance your relaxing experience. Try a hot-oil treatment in your bath to make your skin feel amazing. Finish with a favorite lotion all over your skin for a totally soothing experience. To keep a radiant glow all year without the harmful rays of the sun or tanning beds, self-tanning treatments are popular. For the most natural results, select a shade based on your skin tone, not on the color tan you desire. It’s a good idea to exfoliate to eliminate dead skin cells since self tanner tends to affect these areas more. A guide to great legs for women.

Skin Cleansers Skin Cleansers are an important type of any Spa treatment. Using the appropriate cleanser for your skin type is imperative. It is the first step and the building block of your beauty/spa regime. Below are the most popular types of cleansers. Milky, creamy or oil-based cleansers are typically formulated specifically for dry, very dry, mature, damaged or sensitive skin. Creamy cleansers will comfort any skin type and normally leave a thin film to protect your skin from the environment. Gel-based cleansers are best for normal, combination, oily and acne prone skin types. The deep cleansing action of a gel cleanser controls oil production and helps prevent breakouts. Your skin is super clean and free from surface bacteria. Foaming cleansers are suitable for most skin types, but are favored by normal, combination and slightly oily. They leave your skin clean, without feeling dry or tight like a gel cleanser can. Daily exfoliating cleansers are a very controversial spa treatment. You must be careful with them. Even if it is a daily exfoliating cleanser, most spa treatments recommend that you use it only a few times a week. You will see a noticeable difference when you start using the right kind of cleanser. If you arent already using the best one for your skin type, switch today and witness the difference for yourself! Another spa treatment you can do at home is lip exfoliation. Did you know constant sipping from a straw or smoking can cause your lips to age faster? It's true! Also, the skin around your lips is extremely thin and contains very few oil glands to keep them naturally lubricated. You exfoliate your skin regularly, so why not your lips too? Exfoliating weekly & applying a Vitamin E formula will keep your lips soft, smooth and supple. At bedtime, when you apply your night cream, don't forget to apply an anti-aging lip formula. Most eye products can also be used around the mouth because the skin is very similar. Your lips will regenerate overnight, correcting & preventing fine lines & wrinkles. Use specially formulated lip balms to prevent feathering of your lipstick, it can takes years off your appearance.
