5 Minute Facelift
NuFace delivers a micro-impulse to your muscles and skin for instant results of increased firmness and lifting of your skin and facial muscles. The result is a visible improvement in facial tone and instant facial rejuvenation.
What is it? A microcurrent system that will tone your face in as little as five minutes a day. Using the Derma Gel, simply glide the device--which emits a low-level electrical microcurrent impulse--along the contours of your face daily to see results. The Derma Gel is formulated specifically for microcurrent treatments to deliver optimal results. This product is non-staining, non-allergenic, odorless, water soluble, and safe for ultra-sensitive skin.
Who is it for? This system is ideal for anyone looking for a more toned facial appearance as well as a toned forehead, cheek, and chin area.
Regular use of the NuFace system will continue to provide facial tone, while maintaining a more vibrant appearance. The battery-operated device delivers a low-level electrical microcurrent impulse to strategic locations on the face to improve facial tone to a more youthful balance. The muscles of the face are also instantly toned.
To use this system at home, first, apply the conductivity gel on the facial area to be toned. Then use firm, long strokes in an upward motion. Each stroke should be five seconds long, and you should repeat each area three times. For maximum benefit, use at least five minutes a day, or more.

Candy Coated Products Have Arrived!
Our exclusive Candy Coated product line provides the perfect combination of anti-aging and moisturizing formulas that not only extend the life of your tan but also contribute to the general good health of your skin.
Candy In A Can is our exclusive at-home tanning spray. This ultra-fine spray quickly delivers instant color that is both long lasting and smooth. Our continuous spray system allows you to evenly spray your body at any angle to ensure easy personal use. The amazing formula increases skin hydration which is key because hydrated skin extends the duration of your tan.
Candy In A Can also has skin firming ingredients that reduce fine lines and wrinkles! One of the secrets to this superior product is that it contains white tea extracts, which help improve the immune function of skin cells and naturally protects the skin against harmful ultraviolet rays. We are especially happy to report that this is an orderless tanning product, so you won't have to tolerate that DHA smell commonly found in other home tanning products. You have to try it for yourself!
Directions for use: In a well ventilated area, apply to clean, dry skin (free of lotions & oils). Shake the can vigorously for 5-10 seconds. Hold the can 12 inches away from skin and spray evenly, keeping the can in constant motion. This product can be sprayed in any direction. To access the entire contents, hold the can in an upside-down position occasionally as you spray. Stop spraying at the end of each stroke to avoid over application. Avoid direct spray into eyes, nostrils and mouth. For facial application, lightly coat a make-up sponge with spray & blend onto face.
Please note: Aerosols create a mist. The perfect place to apply this product is in the shower, where overspray can be easily washed from surrounding surfaces.
**Fair skinned individuals may require 2 applications one day apart.
Candy Coated Tan Extending Lotion is the perfect partner to Candy In A Can, your professional spray tan, or your natural tan. In addition to the delightful packaging, our blend of Tahitian palm milk, pomegranate, and mango, leaves your skin with the lingering aura of an exotic vacation found a bottle.

Candy Coated Tan Extending Lotion is a beautifying anti-aging hydrator that is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. It's perfect for all skin types and can even be used on the face. It has a hint of sunless color which when used daily will help you to build and extend your bronze tan. Our exclusive tan extender uses Argan Oil and features an extra-cellular matrixBiotanning Complex, which helps to accentuate and lengthen the duration of your color. CoQ10 and skin firming ingredients such as caffeine, help tone and smooth the skin, promoting cell renewal, which help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

A facial… Down There?
It is important to exfoliate the skin daily. Consider the care and tending we do to the skin on our face, but nowhere else really. Why do we do that? In reality, our skin is the body’s largest organ. Keeping this in mind, I recommend giving yourself a facial… down there, and anywhere you run the risk of getting an ingrown hair. This facial for your vagina, also known as a "Vajacial" is actually a new beauty trend in the industry. We like it! But no need to go to a fancy salon for your Vajacial. I'll tell you how to do it at home.
The easiest place to do it is in the shower. All you need is a face scrub that ideally contains salicylic acid, however, any scrub will do. Scrubs are granular products that are used to buff off upper layers of dead skin cells. I like to recommend the classic and commonly found Apricot Face Scrub in the peach tube by St. Ives because although I find the beads in that scrub too large and course for the face, it's perfect for the body, particularly the skin in the pubic region. Plus it’s inexpensive. Target sells a good one under their “Target” brand as well. Use the scrub on your pubic skin or bikini area daily. This will exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation removes the dead cells from layers of your skin to reveal live cells, giving the skin a better appearance and less risk for trapping hair as it grows. Dead cells also block off oxygen to the skin, making it unable to breathe. In addition to causing ingrown hairs, this contributes to pores filling up, resulting in breakouts. After the shower, apply toner to a cotton pad, and put it on the skin using upward strokes. Toners containing glycolic, salicylic, or other alpha hydroxy acids can help to prevent ingrown hairs. If you don’t have a toner with those ingredients, just use the one you have. Toners give your skin pH balance, shrink pores, and some of them even moisturize. Follow up with body lotion or my favorite beauty weapon, Vanish PFB.
There are many products on the market with claims of preventing ingrown hair. I find this one works best. Vanish PFB is a serum that is specifically for ingrown hairs, razor burn and bumps resulting from shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis and laser hair removal. It has exfoliating and moisturizing ingredients that feel great on the skin and deliver results. To use, roll-on Vanish PFB to the ingrown hair morning and night. If you don't have an ingrown hair, use it once daily as part of your vajacial for maintenance and as a preventative measure. I especially recommend using it two days prior to waxing/hair removal. You can find Vanish PFB in our salon for $26.95, as well as Numb it, the lidocaine numbing gel from the same line . If you have questions about this product, how to treat ingrown hairs or how to best prepare for you next waxing appointment, feel free to give us call. We'd love to hear from you.
P.S. Ladies, you may consider this product for your man. Most likely he could benefit from Vanish PFB too. He’ll thank you for it.
Stay Beautiful! xo
