5 ways How you can Prevent Acne – Spa and Salon

Acne and zits are something all of us ladies and teenage girls run away from. Every woman wants that perfectly flawless and zit-less skin. SPA Services if availed timely and when needed can be highly beneficial and can help keep the skin clean and flawless. SPA Treatments such as facials can prove to be highly  beneficial as well.


1. Keep your face clean. Whether or not you have acne, it's important to wash your face twice daily to remove impurities, dead skin cells, and extra oil from your skin's surface. Washing more often than twice daily is not necessarily better; it may do more harm than good. Use warm, not hot, water and a mild facial cleanser. Using a harsh soap (like deodorant body soap) can hurt the already inflamed skin and cause more irritation.



2. Moisturize. Many acne products contain ingredients that dry the skin, so always use a moisturizer that minimizes dryness and skin peeling. Look for "noncomedogenic" on the label, which means it should not cause acne. There are moisturizers made for oily, dry, or combination skin. 



3. Try an over-the-counter acne product. These acne products don't need a prescription. They may have ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or lactic acid, which curb bacteria and dry your skin. Start with a small amount at first. Then you can adjust how much you use and how often, depending on how much peeling or drying you have. Use these products with caution if you have sensitive skin.



4. Use makeup sparingly. During a breakout, avoid wearing foundation, powder, or blush. If you do wear makeup, wash it off at the end of the day. If possible, choose oil-free cosmetics without added dyes and chemicals. Choose makeup that is labeled as "noncomedogenic," meaning it should not cause acne. Read the ingredients list on the product label before buying.




5. Watch what you put on your hair. Avoid using fragrances, oils, pomades, or gels on your hair. If they get on your face, they can block your skin's pores and irritate your skin. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Oily hair can add to the oil on your face, so wash your hair often, especially if you're breaking out. Got long hair? Keep it pulled away from your face.

Why should you wax instead of shave - Salon and SPA


Having to shave after every two days is irritating as hell, the hair grow out faster, they are thick and so manly, the razor rubbing against the skin causes irritation and most of all the unnecessary cuts especially when you do not want any cuts. SPA services also include things such as waxing, we may think it is just another normal technique for hair removal but what we do not know is that waxing has various benefits. SPA treatments make life easier, with the advent of new beauty products looking beautiful is very convenient and a lot more beneficial than as compared to the traditional or old ways.  

Benefits of Waxing:


  • Waxing lasts for a longer period of time because it pulls out hair from roots rather than cutting them.
  • There are no cuts involved when it comes to waxing.
  • For people who have sensitive skin, shaving can cause rashes. On the contrary waxing does not cause rashes.
  • Waxing slows down hair growth and causes the hair to grow thinner. On the other hand, shaving can increase hair growth and make hair thicker. 
  • Smoother skin is also a benefit of waxing, as hair is pulled out right from the root.
  • Waxing will make your skin feel smoother longer without feeling itchy, because of slower hair regrowth.
  • Contrary to popular belief, waxing is not always painful. If you do it right, it is almost pain-free.
  • Waxing is fast and convenient. 
  • Shaving can result to stubbles. If you don't shave often enough, your legs will feel rough and abrasive.

Why You Should Go To a Spa – Salon and SPA


The kind of fast track life that we lead makes us want to escape from it all at times. What a human craves for today is peace, relaxation and a world that is filled with serenity. Hence, spas are our best bet and are something as close to having a peaceful sanctuary. Spa services and spa treatments are the only things that take us into complete and utter oblivion and trance that we call our escape. For the amount of time that we spend in there, helps in rejuvenating ourselves physically and mentally. The best bit about spas is therapeutic massages, we generally don’t get massages on daily basis, but we should because it has certain advantages.

Advantages of a therapeutic massage:


  1. A massage session is a break from your job, your family, friends... to slow down and de-stress.
  2. A massage improves blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
  3. Massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which carries away the body's waste products.
  4. It has been proved that massage releases a hormone called Serotonin that enhances the body and mind's "feel good" state. When you receive a spa service, your mind, body and soul are in harmony.
  5. Professional athletes and fitness freaks, along with physical pampering, experience great relief in easing muscle tensions and cramps through trained therapists and relax every part of their body through deep tissue massages.
  6. Pre-natal and post-natal benefits for women is one of the most important factors for experiencing a massage.
  7. Massage therapy can help with pain management in chronic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and muscle spasms.
  8. By indulging in body contouring services at a spa, you can keep the extra pounds off and keep your body in shape and beautiful.
  9. Body polishes gently exfoliate your skin, promoting cellular renovation, refining pores and gives your skin uniform relief.
  10. Water treatments feed the soul. Like life, water is yin and yang; when your body is submerged in water you find true balance, as water provides the equilibrium.
  11. Heat treatments in the form of either warm, dry air or warm, moist air heat the body to stimulate blood circulation, initiating the purifying process.
  12. Therapeutic muds in either 'rasuls' or 'serial' chambers, exfoliate dead skin cells, eliminate toxins and increase circulation.
  13. Body wraps are exceptionally beneficial as a quick way to re-mineralize the body, replenish it with nutrients and elements lost on a daily basis, thus boosting moisture in your skin, helping to rejuvenate and relax you.
  14. In contrast to heat treatments, cold water or ice applied to the body have been proven to stimulate the circulatory, lymphatic and immune system.
  15. Individuals want to look youthful and feel confident. Hence, spas have beauty/skin care brands as part of their repertoire, actively promoting personalized facial therapy massages, and regular skin care sessions.
  16. Most spas today have on call experts who give nutritional advise in direct sync with one's lifestyles.
  17. Yoga and alternative healing therapies are nothing new, but now spas are getting creative and people have actually begun to understand the inherent benefits these things can provide to the mind, body and soul.

Benefits Of Blow Drying Your Hair – Salon And SPA

The general perception is that SPA Services and treatments are not beneficial if they are availed on a daily basis or way too often. But that is a complete myth and does not have any supporting evidence. SPA Treatments not only cater to the basic needs of our hair, skin and nails but also have their advantages that we as normal people are not too aware of. For example, blow drying is taken as something that will damage your hair and it will make your hair go dry, that my friend's is not the case certainly. Many people do not have the idea as to what blow drying can do for them, hence, lets shed some light on what the benefits of blow drying are.



First and foremost the benefit is that hair styling products adhere to your hair more finely and perfectly when completely dry. Now air drying or natural drying takes way too long, on the contrary blow drying is very small 2 minute process where it provides you with completely dry hair that are ready to be styled in a very short period of time. Hence, there is no need to wait if you are in a rush. 



Blow drying also helps with those GQ and run way straight hair looks. All you have to do is blow dry wet hair by a normal brush and hold the dry close to the brush, make sure that you are drying your hair all the way from the roots to the tips in order to remove all the water content from your bath, leaving it completely dry. Any moisture will make your hair go frizzy again. 



Lastly, blow drying can also add volume to your hair, the key is to blow dry your hair roots upwards. A trick that I use is to add volume to my front hair is that, I side part my hair on the opposite side of where I usually wear it, blow dry it and switch it to the other side. Viola! Happy Blow Drying! 






Refresh Your Skin By Giving It Dermalogica Facial - Salon and SPA

I totally suck when it comes to taking care of my skin. Availing those spa services has never been one my strong suits. Although my mother, my friends and my friend repeatedly tell me that look like a yeti more than half of the times, well that’s an understatement, 99% of the times to be honest. Having to wear makeup is absolutely a nightmare to me, the horror of it all. For me it’s more like wash your face and whoosh! You are out the door. I know this act is stupid because by the time I hit 40 I would end up looking like the crypts keeper. SPA Treatments not only make your skin perfect but also makes it glow-y, soft and supple.



Recently I was provided the luxury of going to a spa and getting treatments done, it was a birthday gift from my boyfriend. I kid you not the experience was shear bliss! I had the normal manicure, pedicure, hair massage done, nothing special in that. I did manage to fall asleep during the process though. But the Dermalogica facial was the shocker of the day for me. When they were done with massaging my skin, my skin completely looked like some celebrity’s skin and not mine! I was ecstatic to the point where I could barely stop myself from jumping up and down and screaming with joy. Hence, I wanted to give a shout out to all the ladies who are like me that we should all pay attention towards our skin and take care of it, this beautiful young face is not going to last for long if we don’t take care of it. The beauty of the youth will wash away one day, the only way to stop that from happening is by getting skin care spa treatments.

Treat your skin to a Dermalogica facial treatment ladies because it not only cleanses your skin but also has many advantages, such as:

·         Premature ageing/sun damage/fine lines
·         Pigmentation/uneven skin tone
·         Dehydration
·         Congestion
·         Dryness/flakiness

Hair Color in Fashion, 2015 - SPA Centers in Dubai

While ultra-vibrant hair and dramatic ombre ruled 2014, we’re starting to see a shift in the follicle forecast. As we step into the New Year we’re beginning to see a more natural trend attached to those tresses. The leading force toward this minimal vibe: balayage, increasingly popular highlights that aim to mimic those sun-kissed highlights you got as a kid. And now, piggybacking off balayage, we’re seeing another similar, albeit darker, technique that we’re sure is about to go mane-stream over the course of 2015: introducing ecaille (AKA “tortoiseshell” in French). SPA in Sheikh Zayed Road provide their customers with one of the most memorable experiences and the results are worth every minute of your time spent and every penny that you have paid. 



With smooth caramel tones, the ecaille technique is a slightly richer and darker version of your natural color paired with golden highlights and a whole lot of shine. The look, which began trending in Paris, tends to also be darker at the roots and lighter at the ends – consider it a much more sophisticated version of the ombre we know and love. Pop some balayage highlights on top of this rich shade and a gloss to keep it rich, and you’ve got this multidimensional, bombshell look. Luxury SPA in Dubai give you the balance that you need for this look without much hassle of your having to explain.



To achieve ecaille-style locks when you’re next in the salon, here are a few pointers on what to say to your stylist:

1. Don’t ask for it by name — at least not yet. While a handful of stylists at high-end salons might already know exactly what this technique looks like, it’s only starting to really take off stateside. Instead, chat with your colorist about the style, and of course, bring a picture (or five).

2. Explain the key elements of ecaille to make the process even more clear. If you’re not sure how to translate the look into hair talk, tell them you’d like to darken the base color a bit and add in some gloss and a few darker pieces.

3. Ask your colorist to focus on vibrant, face-framing highlights in the front while adding softer pieces all around the rest of your head.



4. Ask for various tones, deeper at the roots and lighter at the ends – but be clear that while you’re looking for some gradation, you’re not looking for ombre.


5. Make sure that the tones in your hair match up with your skin tone. If you are fair or pale, asks for some golden tones to add vibrancy. If you’re closer to an olive color or have a pink complexion, ask for some ash elements to give your skin a more natural, sun-kissed look.
