This month we're anticipating the event season and prepping the body from head to toe.
We’ve long been neglecting our limbs and as the weather warms and we start to show off a bit more skin, the true extent of our inattention is beginning to show. Whether you’re visiting us in-salon or choosing to DIY at home, these are the products I’m using for my event beauty prep.
What’s In Nat’s Bag
Coming out of winter our skin can be unbelievably dry and if you’re anything like me, it’s been all too tempting to slip straight from the shower into something warm, skipping the moisturiser altogether. So now as I realise the true extent of this negligence, and come to the conclusion my limbs are in need of some desperate TLC, I introduce to you, the Goop G Tox. A rich, indulging body scrub formulated with 5 mineral rich salts which help to sweep away dead skin cells and smooth uneven skin texture. Just what we need to prep the skin for a flawless TPR Tan this summer, it’s my go-to at home in between appointments.
Sunescape Hydrating Body Butter
The next sensible step to any exfoliation; is hydration, and you just know this is one of my all-time favourite moisturisers. Not only is the smell to die for, but you can also feel its rich creamy texture literally soaking up the H2o and doesn’t dry out immediately post-application.
Wella Hair Mask
As we prep the body from head to toe this month, an area we commonly forget is next on our list; our hair. I’m always on the hunt for a product that doesn’t make my hair feel as though it’s about to snap off with the heat and lately, I’ve been using the Wella SP Keratin Restore Mask and I can’t tell you how much better my hair feels, let alone the difference in how manageable it is. You only need a small amoun for it do to wonders as it restores moisture and revitalisees the hair. It also smells incredible as well, 10/10 I defintiely recommend.
Mavala Scientifique K+
This little jar is liquid gold for those looking to strengthen and lengthen weak and damaged nails. I always book in for the Nail Recovery Treatment in between manicures and within days, always see noticeable results. The way it works is by strengthening the cohesive bonds of the individual nail fibres which prevents any splits, chips or tears in the nail. So when applying, just make sure you're careful not to get any on the cuticles or skin surrounding the nail, as this can cause them to harden as well. Definitely one of the first stops ahead of event season to make sure those nails are looking healthy and strong for one of our famous TPR manicures.
TPR Brow & Lash Serum
Available to purchase in-salon only
If you’ve recently indulged in the popular lash lift or brow lamination treatment ahead of summer, it’s more important than ever that they remain healthy and hydrated. Which means Revive7 is going to be your new best friend. A powerful two-in-one serum, it’s been clinically tested to deliver some serious results. Best applied twice daily, it’s available in-salon at TPR so if you have any questions just ask one of our therapists.
Amazon Microfibre Face Wash Bands
This Amazon find is one of those humerous life hacks that when you starting using them, you’ll start to question everyting you’ve been doing up until that point.
Like a cute fluffy scrunchie, they’re actually incredibly practical. How do you use? You simply slide them onto your wrists and wash your face as usual and experience the absolute joy of having no liquid drain down your arms and into your sleeves.
Habitual Beauty Hydrating Sleep Mask
Restoring moisture to the skin is what we all need ahead of the warmer months and I’ve recently been obsessing over the Habitual Beauty Hydrating Sleep Mask. Australian made, it just melts into your skin giving noticeable results. To use, simply apply a generous amount over your face, neck and dècolletage following your nighttime skincare routine and once fully absorbed, leave on overnight to then remove in the morning. Your skin will feel ultra-hydrated and luminous, cementing the perfect base for a radiating glow.
