Clients always ask us, “How long will my airbrush spray tan last?” so let’s take a minute to talk about it. We always tell our clients that your airbrush tan will last between 5-7 days, but some clients can get their tan to last longer. How do they do that? With our tanning tips! These tips are some things that you can do before you tan to prep your skin, as well as some things you can do after to extend the life of your South Seas airbrush tan.

Let's talk about prepping your skin. The first thing you want to do is remove the hair. If you shave you will want to do this the night before the appointment, not the day of. This is because shave gels and lotions can leave residue on the skin which will prevent the airbrush tan from sticking. The next and most important thing you can do to prep is to exfoliate your skin. Most people don’t know that humans are actually like snakes, we shed our skin every 28 days. So, when you exfoliate your skin you are getting rid of the dead and dying skin that is ready to fall off any ways, that way the tanning solution will adhere to your soft, fresh, new skin. Put on LOOSE dark clothing immediately following your spray tanning session. Remember that the color you are seeing is just the spray tanning bronzer and it takes about four hours for the solution to absorb into your skin. If you put on something tight, like a bra, it will rub the spray tanning solution off of your skin before it has a chance to absorb. Also, please don’t wash your hands for at least 2 hours. This is important because if you get wet or get any splash marks it will wash away the solution and you will be left with whatever water spots you see. Finally, please don’t put on any lotion until after you take your first shower and wash off all the bronzer in the spray tanning solution.

To prolong the life of your tan we recommend that you wait at least 8 hours before you take your first shower, preferably the next day. If you do decide to sleep on your spray tan remember that the bronzer has a tendency to rub off; lay some old sheets out on your bed so it doesn’t get on your nice ones. If the bronzer does rub off it will come out very easily in the wash. Whenever you decide to take your first shower remember that you will see some color running off and going into the drain. DO NOT PANIC as this is just the bronzer in the spray tanning solution and is completely normal. When you do shower remember that the solution is sugar based and when sugar gets warm it melts, so do not take long hot showers, quick and cool. After your shower pat yourself dry with a towel, do not rub. Then apply a generous amount of lotion. The more hydrated your skin is, the longer your airbrush tan will last.

9 Hidden Benefits of Mineral Makeup Foundation

November 4th, 2016 • Posted by glo minerals • Permalink

Mineral makeup is all the rage, and for good reason. Made from minerals like mica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, mineral foundation is better for your skin than regular makeup.

Here are nine things you probably didn’t know about mineral makeup foundation that might make you make the switch.

1.  Mineral Foundation Helps Provide Sun Protection- Used in conjunction with your daily SPF, mineral makeup foundation can help defend your skin against the sun’s damaging rays. There are two types of sunscreen, physical and chemical. Physical sunscreen contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, the two minerals most commonly found in mineral makeup. While chemical sunscreen contains ingredients like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate that absorb the sun’s rays, physical sunscreen blocks the sun, deflecting UVA and UVB rays.

2. Mineral Makeup Foundation Provides Better Coverage- Traditional cosmetics often contain talc, a bulking agent that leads to a formula that’s heavier on the skin and less pigmented. With a poorly pigmented foundation, you might find yourself layering on more and more product to get the look and coverage you want. Traditional cosmetics often contain talc, a bulking agent that leads to a formula that’s heavier…

3. Mineral Makeup Looks Great on Camera- “With HD cameras you can see everything,” says Stephanie Panek, Key Makeup Artist on Netflix’s Grace and Frankie. “A makeup artist has to go in and cover any spots, flaws or discoloration with makeup so that it doesn’t show on camera.” She loves using mineral powder foundations because of their natural, full coverage look. “Two of my male actors do not like to wear makeup but allow me to use the mineral foundations because it’s fast, gives full coverage, and it doesn’t look like they are wearing makeup.”

4. Mineral Makeup Foundation Won’t Settle into Fine Lines- The best foundation is one that you apply and forget. However, many traditional foundations contain talc, which feels heavy on the skin. Traditional foundation also commonly settles into fine lines and wrinkles, causing creasing. Mineral makeup is like a second skin, with a barely-there feel.

5. Mineral Makeup Is Suitable for All Skin Types- Oily, dry or combination, mineral makeup foundation works well for every skin type. However, your skin type will determine the manner in which you apply your foundation. For all skin types, it is essential to moisturize every morning before your makeup application, so your minerals have a hydrated surface to lie on. For oily and combination skin, use a mattifying powder on your t-zone to keep the midday oil at bay, and for dry skin, use a hydrating mist to hydrate your minerals and refresh your skin.

6. Mineral Makeup is Rosacea-Friendly- Since mineral makeup is free of skin-irritating ingredients like talc and chemical dyes, it’s a good choice for those that suffer from rosacea. Not only is mineral makeup rosacea-friendly, it effectively helps cover and correct surface redness to conceal the side effects.

7. Mineral Makeup is Good for Acne-Prone Skin- Mineral makeup is good for acneic (or acne-prone) skin for the same reason mineral makeup is good for rosacea. With a non-irritating, non-comedogenic formula, mineral foundation won’t clog your pores, causing further breakouts.

8. Mineral Makeup is Good for Sensitive Skin- Minerals are non-occlusive, allowing skin to breathe and function normally without being suffocated. Dermatologists and skincare professionals often use mineral makeup to help protect their clients’ sensitive skin.

9. Mineral Makeup Foundation is Long-Wearing- Makeup artists often use mineral makeup on set because it creates a smooth, even complexion and it lasts. Michelle Radow, makeup artist of HBO’s The Brink, says, “glo minerals products are such high quality, you can feel it during the application process and see it after a 14 hour shooting day.” Wear your mineral foundation with primer to make it last even longer.
