Make the most of your tan with Bliss Beauty

Make sure you make the most of your spray tan treatment by following these few steps to prepare for your treatment.

• Before tanning it is advised to wax or tan at least 24 hours prior to the treatment as both of these actions will remove oils and open pores which will leave you with a spotty look.

• Always book your treatment at least 48 hours before any occasion as you tan may look extreme straight after, this will also help the tan settle nicely onto the skin.

• It is highly recommended that before any spray tan that you must exfoliate, if you do not exfoliate or do not create an even base for the tan then it will not sit right on the skin and will look patchy. Again this is recommended to be completed 1 day before as this will give the skin time to settle.

• When exfoliating do not forget the main build up areas for dead skin, these are your elbows, knew and ankles so make sure you exfoliate these evenly.

• On the day of your treatment if you choose to shower or bathe do not use products containing moisturisers , deodorant or makeup as all of these will cause the tan to turn blotchy. It is even known for some deodorants to react with tan making it turn green.

• When you will get to the salon you will need to get into a thong, put on a shower cap, apply some moisturiser to your knees, elbows and ankles and a lot of moisturiser to your nails and palms of your hands to keep them white.

• On the day make sure you wear loose fitting clothes and dark coloured underwear as wearing light or white colours my stain.

• Prepare by bringing either a headband or something to clip your hair out of the way. If you have bleach blonde hair you will instantly see the tan and will dry an orange colour so make sure you have something to cover your hairline too.

It is always recommended to have a skin patch test prior to your spray tan, call today for more information 0113 278 1572

Here are a few simple steps on how to preserve your flawless looking tan:

• Make sure you moisturise the area covered for example if you only have your legs sprayed make sure you moisturise this area daily or when needed.

• Make sure you gently exfoliate the skin every 2-3 days; this will ensure an even fade.

• After showering or washing your hands or face make sure you pat the areas dry instead of rubbing as this will create a patchy area.

• Chlorine has been known to bleach tan so make sure you avoid swimming pool to fully benefit from this treatment.

Long and Strong Eyelashes by Bliss

If you struggle with naturally short thin eyelashes and you want that red carpet long lased look take a look at our short blog helping you gain the look you want and deserve.

Believe it or not leaving your eyelashes alone is one of the best things you can do, naturally long eyelashes grow without the aid of chemicals.

Make sure you take off your makeup every night. Whilst doing this clean you lashes with an exfoliating scrub this will aid the growth process as massaging the follicle aids growth.

Try not to use eyelash curlers, the effect that eyelash curlers make does look professional and beautiful however they also pluck individual eyelashes out making them thinner.

Never pull on your lashes again you will pluck them out. Remove mascara with eye makeup remover and a cotton bud or a wipe  and remove false eyelashes with the remover included or soak the eyelash in warm water until the glue breaks down. 

If you have professionally installed individual eyelashes please do not attempt to remove them at home as you will pull your own eyelashes out. Go to spa to get them removed.

Leaving eye makeup off for a few days can benefit eyelashes dramatically as applying makeup around the eye area can cause them to fall out.

 When leaving your mascara, eye shadow and liner off you could apply a small amount of conditioner or Vaseline to the lashes before going to sleep. If you do this every night for a couple of weeks you will see results. 

If you cannot wait for your eyelashes to grow why not try Bliss's LVL lash treatment or Nouveau Blink and go . for stunning natural results click here 

How to grow long and strong nails by Bliss Beauty

Firstly you should never bite your nails, by biting your nails you will not only make your hands look unsightly but you can permanently damage your nails, teeth and gums. If you find it difficult to instantly stop this habit try bitter tasting nail varnishes, these should put you off biting them for life! The habit of biting nails not only spreads germs and increases the chance of being ill but the enzymes in saliva will dry the nail and the skin around it.

One excellent way to help you stop the habit of biting you nails would be to draw around your hand on a piece of paper and draw on the length of nails you want. After you have completed this place your and on the paper each day until you reach your target. This will provide you with more motivation and a way of competing against yourself. This method is very rewarding and everyone will wonder how you have gone from short stubbly nails to beautiful, long, strong and health nails.

Always keep in your mind the health risks of biting your nails. When your hands make contact with your mouth they are transferring bacteria, good and bad.

Every time you have the urge to retreat back to your bad habit just think about the benefit of not doing so.

If your problem has become too much and you are constantly biting, chipping away, causing cuticles to draw blood or even loosing finger nails then this may be the time to consult your doctor.
