Tangerine Tango

Will you dance into the New Year with this vivacious color?

Tangerine Tango is the color of 2012.  It is truly full of life and we love that our Tangerine Lavender complements its characteristics.  The flowery herbal scent of Bulgarian lavender teases tangy tangerine like a sultry sedative song. The scent of relaxing lavender blends harmoniously with tangerine to calm nerves and reduce stress for both men and women.

According to Pantone, ” A winner in cosmetics because of its versatility, Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way.  Add a sultry flair to lips, cheeks and nails with Tangerine Tango.  An unexpected eye shadow color, Tangerine Tango is a complementary opposite that flatters blue or green eyes.  When paired with brown eyes, it brings out an amber cast.”

Our ingredient focus this week:  Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil)

Source: Cold pressed from the fruit of palm trees native to the tropics.

Description: This non-greasy skin conditioning oil serves as a protective layer on the skin to help retain moisture.   Mild nature makes it suitable for inflamed, irritated and sensitive skin.  Coconut oil also acts as a formulation stabilizer and can promote lather.

Benefit: Virgin Coconut Oil promotes skin and hair health.  When applied topically to hair and skin, will act as an anti-bacterial or germicidal agent.  It acts as a natural anti-oxidant to our skin and hair thus making it feel young, healthy, smooth, elastic and supple.

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind…

Go Early – Tuesday and Wednesday are the easiest days to get an appointment, and morning hours are usually less busy than the afternoon.  Also keep in mind that people cancel frequently so it’s a good idea to ask the spa to call you in the event someone cancels their appointment.

Take time to review the Spa Menu – Let the experts combine and recommend a couple of treatments for you.  Spa packages are a great way to get that feel good spa experience you deserve, not to mention the benefit of saving some money with special packages.

Method to your Spa Visit – Yes, getting treatments in the proper order makes a difference!  It should look like this:
- massage, waxing, facial, pedicure and then manicure.
Waxing before getting a massage could result in nasty ingrown hairs because there’s a chance your pores could get clogged.   Once you have a facial and feeling clean and fresh, the last thing you want is to put your face into the cradle for a massage.  Lastly, once your nails are looking pretty you don’t want to get them smudged.

End on a relaxing note – do you ever get out of the spa feeling so relaxed you just don’t want it to end?  Well… the solution is to avoid making plans for that evening.  Go home, relax, soak it all in – literally.  Allow all the product nutrients do their job by penetrating the skin.

You will be amazed how these simple tips can make your next Spa experience more relaxing!
