Brow and lash tinting are very popular beauty procedures. Tinting involves temporarily colouring your eyebrows or eyelashes to give them a thicker and fuller look. You know what else is great? Eyebrow and eyelash tinting are part of the awesome services we offer in our upper body menu. In this post, we’re going to cover how both procedures work and the benefits you’ll get from both of them.

How Does Brow and Lash Tinting Work?

The brow tinting process is quick and easy. It involves applying dye on the eyebrows and it usually takes anywhere from between 10 to 15 minutes. How about lash tinting? Well, the process is fairly straightforward and similar to brow tinting. First, a protective towel or cloth will be applied so that the dye doesn’t stain your clothing. The next step is to apply a protective cream under the eyes to avoid stains getting onto that area. Tinting is a good alternative to mascara as it doesn’t smudge off as easily. There are also various colour options to choose from. Overall though, the process doesn’t take a long time to complete and you won’t have to worry about being uncomfortable when you’re going through it.

Tinting your brows and lashes are great ways to bring them to life with lash tinting also being a good alternative if you’re not a big fan of lash extensions. If you have additional questions about brow and lash tinting, don’t hesitate to send us a message or ask any one of our experienced technicians, and we will be happy to give you more helpful information, and we’ll make sure either of the procedures are a good fit for you!

Benefits of Brow and Lash Tinting

Imagine rolling out of bed each morning with your brows and lashes already done? What a great feeling that would be! There’s a ton of benefits you can get from these procedures but we will summarize the most common ones.

It’s Efficient

With our busy lives and schedules, finding a beauty procedure that relieves stress and gives us a brand new look is important. This is why tinting is one of the most efficient beauty procedures you can get done. What’s more? You can also give your hair some finishing touches by tinting — it really does add that extra oomph!

When it comes to beauty, being efficient is crucial, but often under-rated. To ensure the best use of your time, we encourage being open to trying ways that make your beauty routines more effective. This isn’t to say that brow and lash tinting are the only ways to achieve a high level of efficiency. Both beauty procedures do however cut some steps and keep you looking sharp for weeks.

It’s Convenient

Besides efficiency, there’s also the convenience factor. We mentioned earlier how it would be such a stress reliever to not have to worry too much about waking up only to realize you have to get your brows and lashes filled. Even the daily application of mascara can become a hassle, this is where tinting could save you time. For those people who love the most minimalist beauty routines, these are the procedures for you. With just a few swipes of dye, you’ll be removing hassle from your daily routine. 

It might seem trivial, but think about all that time you could save from your morning routines over the course of a week. Those minutes add up to a decent chunk of time that could give you more time to get your mornings off to a better start! So if you’re not already incorporating this procedure in your life, then now is a great time to give it some thought. Come on-board, very few things beat convenience.

It’s Fabulous

Tinting your brows and lashes do not only enhance colour and thickness, they also make you look fabulous and bring that extra definition to your eyes, arches, face and quite frankly your overall look. Also keep in mind that it is not a one colour solution, there are different shade options to pick from that suit your preference.

You can get a fabulous look if you choose the right tint. This means you can either choose a lighter or darker shade of tint depending on your skin and hair colour.

It’s Pretty Safe

Safety is arguably the most important consideration when it comes to getting these kinds of procedures done. Besides, our eyes are some of the most sensitive parts of our bodies so it’s important to keep them protected and avoid the chance of irritations. Just like most things make-up and beauty related, when done correctly, the procedure isn’t of any harm to you. Generally, the dyes are pretty safe but you can ask questions about the ingredients of our dyes if unsure.

Also, the ease of the procedures might spark the temptation to try it at home. We strongly suggest against this to avoid making mistakes and getting dye into your eyes. Just leave it to our highly skilled professionals to get the job done safely! Furthermore, if you have any eye issues, make sure to check with your eye care professional before proceeding.

It’s finally spring! It’s the time of year where there are so many outdoor activities to look forward to. As we navigate spring and head into the summer months, there’s a natural tendency to switch to lighter clothing. Summer clothes don’t cover us as much as our winter jackets and scarfs did. This likely means that there will be more skin on display. It’s time to seriously think about how we care for our smooth skin. There’s a list of things to consider when it comes to improving skin smoothness and softness. In this post, we’ll provide tips on how you can kick off the warmer months with really smooth skin!

Consider Body Sugaring for Smooth Skin

Let’s start with body sugaring (wink, wink, it’s one of the services we offer). The procedure is widely considered as a less painful alternative to waxing. To put it simply, sugaring is a method of hair removal that is done using a chemical free, warmed paste. It’s derived from natural ingredients, comprising lemon, sugar, and water. What makes body sugaring so great is that it’s safe to use on all parts of the body. To learn more, read our pre and post-care recommendations.

Another benefit of sugaring for hair removal, is that it’s less painful than waxing. It puts far less strain on the skin, so there’s no risk of burning during the treatment. That means you won’t have any scars or marks, just smooth skin! Cleanup is also much easier than traditional waxing procedures.

Exfoliate Often

This is a very common technique which you can use to remove dead skin cells. It will help to keep your skin looking smooth and fresh. There are many ways to exfoliate, from scrubs, to sponges, to creams. There’s no one size fits all approach to exfoliating, so you can give either of the listed methods a try. Although, we highly recommend products with naturally derived ingredients that suit your skin type. The main aim of exfoliating isn’t just for aesthetics, it’s also done to keep acne and breakouts in check. When done properly, exfoliation helps remove excess dirt and oils from the skin pores which can lead to annoying breakouts.

Be careful not to overdo this one though, as over exfoliating can lead to dryness and cause irritation when done too aggressively. A good rule of thumb is to avoid cleansers which are oil based. Otherwise you may contribute to clogged pores which defeats the purpose of exfoliating in the first place.  

Freshen Up Your Diet

You know the saying by Linden Tyler, “invest in your skin, it’s going to represent you for a very long time.” We couldn’t agree more! The foods we put directly into our bodies have a bigger impact on our skin than we might think. There can’t be the expectation to have healthy glowing smooth skin without thinking about the things that actually make up our diet. Foods heavy in trans-fats and oils may be responsible for leaving your skin with a duller, rougher look. On the other hand, regular doses of fruits and vegetables, which are mostly rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and healthy fats contribute to a healthier inside and outside appearance. Don’t just take our word for it, read this nicely summarized article for a list of foods that will do wonders for your skin.

Drink Lots of Water

Drinking water should be an important part of any healthy skin routine. For starters, drinking an adequate amount of water daily helps balance moisture and keeps your skin looking hydrated. Water also provides other benefits which aren’t so obvious in the short-term. If you can look at the big picture, water becomes an essential component of skin care.  

It’s important to note that drinking water isn’t the be all and end all, but rather one part of a set of routines which will improve skin health and smoothness. For example, say you just drank lots of water and didn’t improve your diet or exfoliate often. The solo act of just drinking water wouldn’t single handedly improve your outcomes for healthier skin.  

Tying it All Together

Just to give you an idea of how important the skin is, it’s the body’s largest organ. When you look at it from this perspective, it becomes apparent just how crucial it is to keep your skin healthy. What’s the best way to do this? One suggestion is to develop a routine. Routines encourage consistency which in turn deliver results. The routine you choose to go for doesn’t have to be complicated but it will require some effort on your part.

For example, you can decide to start by exfoliating in the morning, drinking lots of water throughout the day, eating Omega-3 and vitamin C rich foods for breakfast and lunch (eggs, salmon, salads) and If you’d like to switch things up a bit you could try exfoliating in the evening before bed to round up your routine. Again, note that you wouldn’t need to exfoliate every single morning or every single evening of each day (depending on your skin sensitivity).

How about sugaring? How often is it recommended? It’ll typically depend on what part(s) of your body you want done, but we recommend you do this in monthly intervals (i.e. every four weeks). And there you have it, a fairly simple and easy to follow routine to get you going on your journey to smooth skin.

To Conclude

There’s a lengthy list of resources online detailing ways to get smoother and healthier skin. We’ve summarized the most common themes into a digestible format to help you kickoff spring and continue the summer season with renewed skin! Remember that repetition is what makes a habit to stick. Start with a regimen that you can handle, then as you get comfortable, switch things up a bit and experiment with your frequency
