A Healthy Glow through the cold & snow...

Tips for Sunless Tanners

Weddings, Social Events and Holiday Parties are coming... and you want to look your best!

First of all, Congratulations! Choosing Airbrush Sunless Tanning will help you stay healthy and look younger than your tanning-bed-addicted pals! Here are some tips to ensure the smoothest, long lasting tan.

What to AVOID BEFORE your Appointment:

-exfoliating products that leave excess oil on the body (salt scrubs that sit in oil)

-remove all lotions, creams, deoderants, makeup and other toiletries. Our technicians are always happy to help and will have makeup remover on hand if you forget.

-Waxing should be done at least a few days before your tan. Shave the day before your spray tan. If you need to shave everyday, make sure you shave at least 6 hours before your tan with a sharp fresh razor.

-Remove all jewelry before your tan. Any tight-fitting jewelry (watches, rings) should not be worn until after showering.

What to wear to your appointment:

-dark, loose fitting clothing and shoes.

-we provide disposables to wear during the spray tan, but you are welcome to bring a bathing suit to wear. Remember that light nylon or synthetic materials might stain, but tanning solution will wash out of most fabrics.

-plan not to get wet, exercise or sweat for AT LEAST 4-6 hours after your tan.

Good to Know:

-your tan will develop over the next 12-48 hours

-you will see some color rinsing off in the first shower after your tan. This is the topical bronzer washing off, revealing your true tan.

-Pat yourself dry after showering (NEVER RUB!) and moisturize, moisturize, MOISTURIZE!

New Friends, Old Friends and everyone in between

I recently joined a mom group in the area. when i say mom group, i dont mean 4 moms with their strollers in the park (though i have been part of those many years ago when my twins were itty bitty). This mom network is huge. and FRIENDLY. The moms out there know what i'm getting at...

It's not often a group of women can get together these days if they haven't known each other forever and just talk. Eventually it becomes a competition...

I had a good feeling about this group from the moment someone suggested joining... and it paid off. Had a BLAST with these gals last night. Met a bunch of wonderfully talented moms that I can be myself around. So I was inspired to celebrate friendship at the spa....

No Toxic Zone! Take the Pledge with Us!

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 7pm, Dr. Gary Golden will be at the spa to discuss the damaging effects of harsh chemicals in everyday household products. Cleaners, skin "care" products, toothpaste, detergent, and even makeup can hold enough chemicals to cause lasting damage to the ones you love.

Golden Serenity Spa & Salon proudly uses and carries Melaleuca products. Even replacing one particularly damaging household product with a healthier alternative can benefit the overall health of you and your family. In addition to information about healthier products to use, learn about ways that you can reduce your family's carbon footprint and heal the environment for future generations to enjoy!

This is a FREE informative session. If you can't make it, we have information at the desk for you to take home with you after your next visit!

We're blogging now... Helloooo Summer!

Summer is here and we're busy at the spa & salon getting you ready for the warm weather!

Kim is busy... adding gorgeous sunkissed highlights to a client's hair as I type this!

Have you checked out our pages on Facebook & Twitter? We've come up with summer specials that are the perfect treat for a recent grad or perhaps a few moms who have a long summer ahead of them ;)

Right now we have a fantastic Orange Pedicure on special through June 19th for only $30. Everything you love about a classic pedicure with an orange scrub to exfoliate your feet.

Why did we choose orange?? Read on...

Oranges are full of minerals & vitamins. In addition to the Vitamin C content you know about, they are an arsenal of antioxidants to help you fight off damage from free radicals in the environment. Oranges are great on the skin because of their antioxidant content. We use fresh oranges and make your scrub right before it is applied to insure the most nutrient-dense juice and peel for maximum benefit. Ask for a glass of fresh OJ with your pedicure and enjoy the health benefits inside and out!

• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-depressant
• Anti-spasmodic
• Anti-aging
• Antiseptic
• Aphrodisiac
• Diuretic
• Relieves Gas
• Detoxifying
• Fights Free Radicals
• Eases Acne & Dermatitis
• Smells Great!!!

For a more in depth list of benefits from the natural amount of orange oil in our fresh orange scrub, read this. We do not add additional orange extract to our scrub, which limits the photosensitivity some may experience with orange. Natural amounts of orange oil in oranges has little to no effect on photosensitivity.
