Feeling a bit washed out over summer?

 

We have had an amazing summer. It’s been hot and dry with a lot of wind. This leads to faded brows and lashes with dehydrated skins.

We can’t possibly drink enough water to reach our skin, all the other vital organs in our body need it first. A great way to give yourself a little pick me up is have an eyelash and brow tint.

Follow that with a new brow shape and your faded summer look is instantly brightened. If you haven’t had one before and are a little sensitive pop into your clinic for a test patch to check that it will be okay for you. Most clinics use vegetable dyes so the likelihood of reactions is lessened.

I love the instant effect tinting gives you – no need to use a lot of makeup once you’re tinted. Summer skin also needs extra care. It will benefit from a clinic facial, deeper exfoliations and mask treatments to rehydrate. If you’re not sure what procedure to book, that’s what we’re here for as your beauty professional.

If you’re just after a little pick-me-up and don’t have the time for a one-hour facial then try a professional vitamin infusion for your skin. With a tinting package this will brighten you up and feed your skin at the same time. Remember to protect your skin while enjoying this amazing weather.

Use a broad spectrum SPF with UVA and UVB protection.
