Gone are the days when baking in the sun all day is ‘cool’. Most smart women (and men) today wouldn’t be caught dead within 20 feet of tanning oil, let alone laying out without at least an SPF of 15 smothered on every exposed inch of skin.

Over the years, we’ve all been educated about the dangers of the sun and skin cancer. So what can you do to protect yourself before you end up looking 15 years older than you are?? Here are some quick inside tips from Facelogic Spa on how to stay sun safe and still enjoy the summer:

Tip #1 – Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more every morning. Make it part of your routine prior to putting on your makeup. Then you will be protected whether you are in the sun or not.

Tip #2 – Cover up! Hats, umbrellas, whatever it you like! Take a queue from the likes of Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfreid, and embrace your natural (albeit whiter) skin color. The 90s are over and unnatural shades of brown are not ‘in’.

Tip #3 – Reapply throughout the day. Everything in moderation might be a good motto for most things in life, but for sunscreen, the motto should be everything in excess! Pile that stuff on…and do it multiple times per day to stay protected.

Resist the urge this summer and protect your skin. Ask any beauty over 35 her anti-aging secret, and if she doesn’t include the liberal application of sunscreen in her answer…perhaps she has had a few rounds with the doctor.

Stay sun safe my friends!

Facelogic is rolling out airbrush spray tanning and our customers are loving it! With sold out launch events in many of our locations that are offering the service, we’ve discovered that consumers are finally embracing the need to protect their skin while still achieving that sun-kissed look.

So why airbrush tan? It’s the safe alternative to natural sun bathing or indoor tanning and you’ll still achieve the same beautiful bronze. Sun tanning can lead to skin damage, premature aging, sunspots and skin cancer, which are caused by the sun’s harmful rays. Instead of baking your skin and aging yourself unnecessarily, it’s time to embrace a faux tan from Facelogic Spa. We’ll get you event-ready in no time…

Stay protected this spring!

As I was taking a visual inventory of my skincare products in my medicine cabinet yesterday, I started to think about what products I had and what I was missing in my arsenal (yes, i’m obsessed with products). As any skincare enthusiast might do, I decided to make a list of what I need now that the sun is starting to peak it’s face out from the clouds. As we all know, skin changes from season to season. Especially if you live in climates where there are drastic difference between summer and winter weather. Skin typically becomes more dry and flaky during the colder winter months, and the natural oils start to appear more so in the summer months.

So what are my 3 must-have products for the spring? Ahhheeemmm…and the list begins:

- Peter Thomas Roth Botanical Buffing Beads – time to slough off all my dead winter skin…yuck!

- gloTherapeutics gloBrightening Serum – a quick refreshing serum to get your skin glowing!

- Facelogic Complete Sun Protection SPF 30 – the sun is coming out…prevent sun damage and wrinkles with SPF!

Time to start the spring cleaning ladies and gents…update your spring product collection to help you get glowing, hydrated skin.

Protect your skin from the sun, or you could end up like this!

Just because the temps have started to drop doesn’t mean you have to lose that summer glow. If the porcelain look isn’t your thing, even though you are naturally fair-skinned, you can still have a beautiful bronze year-round without sacrificing your skin.  At Facelogic Spa, we love skin in all shades, but there is one shade we don’t encourage or enjoy seeing and that is sun-tanned/burnt skin.

We encourage routine skincare and services in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and improve skin texture and tone. And when your skin is exposed to UVA and UVB rays, the resulting tan (or burn) is the body’s desperate attempt to protect itself from the sun’s harmful rays. UVA and UVB rays are the number one cause of fine lines and wrinkles, collagen breakdown, hyperpigmentation and in many cases, skin cancer. So all of your facials and skin maintenance prove futile when you bake in the sun all day or even lay in a tanning bed for a few minutes.

So how do you get that bronzed Giselle-look without the damaging long term effects? We’ve got some great products that you should try:

• Celebrity favorite, Xen-Tan’s extensive array of sunless tanning products are a must-try product if you want a natural instant tan. Our favorite product is Xen-Tan’s Deep Bronze Luxe, it’s paraben-free, fast drying and will give you a gorgeous tan for about a week!
• For a short-term bronze, try gloMineral’s gloBody Bronzer. It’s great for an overall bronzing glow or a night out on the town. Plus it’s not permanent, so if you only want one night of tan, it washes off with soap.

With all of the great sunless tanning products on the market including some of our favorites at Facelogic Spas, there is no reason to bake in the sun or the tanning bed anymore. We’re all trying to look younger and have great skin, so there is no reason to jeopardize your complexion by tanning!

Remember, SPF 15 or higher should be worn at all times (even when you’re just going to the grocery store), if you need a bit of natural daily Vitamin D, get your 10 minutes of sun exposure at non peak times before 9:30 am and after 4:00 pm…and embrace your natural complexion! Porcelain is beautiful! If you need a bit of bronze for an event or for your everyday look, try some of these products.
