Choosing the Best Face Sunscreen!

7009952445 • July 14, 2018

Find the best match for your skin's needs!

When the sun comes out to play, so do we. Yes, this means cozy warmth, BBQs, festivals and water sports, but it also means we need to take extra caution against sun damage. The best way? Find a broad-spectrum sunscreen that you’ll actually apply (and reapply) every day.

Because it minimizes the visible effects of environmental damage, sunscreen is considered the #1 anti-aging strategy by most skincare experts. Most people find it difficult to commit to a sunscreen regimen—especially on their face—because of its greasy feel and chalky look. So how do you find the best sunscreen for face AND body?

Discover the Magic of Japanese Head / Scalp Spa NOW OFFERED AT LUXE! A Japanese head spa is more than just a beauty treatment—it's an immersive experience that harmonizes relaxation, scalp health, and hair care. Combining ancient techniques with modern wellness practices, a Japanese head spa offers a holistic approach to rejuvenation. The service begins with a detailed consultation to understand your specific scalp and hair needs. From there, the treatment involves a series of steps: Deep Cleansing: A thorough cleansing process using high-quality shampoos and exfoliants helps remove impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells from the scalp. This step prepares the scalp for maximum absorption of nutrients. Scalp Massage: The signature element of a Japanese head spa, the scalp massage, uses precise techniques to stimulate blood circulation, reduce tension, and promote relaxation. The massage not only feels incredibly soothing but also supports hair growth and overall scalp health. Hair and Scalp Treatment: Custom-blended treatments are applied to address specific issues such as dryness, dandruff, or hair thinning. These treatments often include natural ingredients like essential oils, seaweed extracts, and herbal essences. Steam Therapy: The application of steam opens up the pores on the scalp, allowing the treatment products to penetrate deeply and work more effectively. This step also adds a layer of relaxation, as the warmth soothes both scalp and senses. Rinse and Condition: The process concludes with a gentle rinse and conditioning, leaving your hair feeling soft, revitalized, and incredibly clean. Benefits Beyond Beauty The benefits of a Japanese head spa extend beyond just beautiful hair. Regular treatments can help alleviate stress, reduce headaches, and improve overall scalp health. By promoting better blood circulation and relaxation, it also encourages a sense of well-being and mental clarity.

Head Spa Treatment at LUXE A thorough analysis of your scalp and hair is conducted to identify any problems such as dryness, dandruff, oiliness, or hair thinning. The first step in the actual treatment is a deep cleansing of the scalp. This involves using specialized scalp shampoos and exfoliants to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup. One of the most relaxing parts of a head spa treatment is the scalp massage. Using various techniques such as kneading, tapping, and circular motions, the therapist stimulates blood flow to the scalp, which promotes hair growth and relieves tension. After the scalp massage, a nourishing hair mask or treatment is applied to the hair and Scalp. These treatments are packed with vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial ingredients that strengthen the hair and improve its overall health. Once the hair mask or treatment has worked its magic, the hair is thoroughly rinsed and conditioned. This step ensures that all product residues are removed and leaves the hair soft, smooth, and manageable. The final step in the head spa treatment is blow-drying and styling the hair. The stylist will dry your hair using a blow dryer and then style it according to your preference. A head spa treatment involves a combination of various techniques, each designed to address different aspects of scalp and hair health. Here are some of the critical methods used during a head spa treatment: Oils are used in head spa treatments for their therapeutic properties. Oils such as lavender, peppermint, and tea tree are commonly used to promote relaxation, stimulate the scalp, and treat scalp conditions. Exfoliating the scalp helps remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and product buildup. This is usually done using a gentle scrub or exfoliating shampoo. Massages are a crucial part of head spa treatments. They help stimulate blood flow, relieve tension, and promote the absorption of hair treatments. Techniques such as kneading, tapping, and circular motions are used. Nourishing hair masks and treatments are applied to hydrate, strengthen, and repair the hair. These treatments are tailored to your specific hair needs and are left on for a specified period to allow the ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft. We include a steam treatment to open up the pores on the scalp, allowing for better absorption of the hair mask or treatment. The steam also helps to relax the muscles and increase circulation. After the treatments have been absorbed, the hair is thoroughly rinsed and conditioned to remove any residue and leave the hair soft and manageable.
