Summer

has everyone thinking about sun, fun and vacation! Chances are before your clients
go on vacation to an exotic destination they are going to want their skin and hair perfectly
prepped and ready to go before they leave. And, they are going to want to upkeep their polished
image during their getaway as well. So after lots of research and trying out different products, I
found a collection of the ideal products you should consider offering your clients. In other words,
it's a "Beach Bag" full of the supreme essentials every gal needs to look glamorous at the beach
to a night out on the town.

Skin Care:

FACE AND HANDS: Besides educating your clients about ways they can treat their hair, skin care is the next step on the list.  Skincare Solutions developed an entire line of products that help restore and repair skin with naturally soothing antioxidants. The line comes with a wide variety of products like: Awakening Cleanser, Purifying Treatment Toner, Resurfacing Scrub, Protective Repair Serum, Ultimate Lift Eye Crème, Age Control Therapy, Sun Defense Lotion w/SPF 20, Restorative Hand Treatment and Makeup remover.   Skincare Solutions

Most of these products help with firming, regeneration and strengthening of the skin. I
especially recommend the Protective Repair Serum, which improves facial tone and elasticity;
Ultimate Lift Eye Crème, which provides reduction of appearance in wrinkles and dark circles;
Age Control Therapy, which provides hydration and reduces signs of aging with plumping
agents; and SPF Sun Defense Lotion w/SPF 20, which provides a broad spectrum of UVA/UVB
protection. I tried out all of these products and they treated my skin really nicely. For the
products that said, "tightening," I could feel the difference in my skin after only one application.

MAKE-UP: After your clients have perfected their skin with a well-rounded skin care regimen, the right choice in make-up will finish their summery vacation look. Your Name Professional Brands just came out with a Limited Edition collection called: Life's A Beach. The Tiki Bar collection includes: Signature Shadow Quad Sun Goddess, Triple Split Gloss Sorbet, SuperWear Mascara Ink, and a complimentary SuperWear Make-up Remover sample.

Perfect to toss in a beach bag. For more information visit: www.yournamepro.com.

BODY:

Try out Farmhouse Fresh (FHF), which provides three products for an intensive body
skin care system. Have your clients start off with the Buffalo Greens Salt Scrub which offers a
fresh citrus grass scent that contains organic alfalfa leaf (a hearty mineral-rich forage crop found
on buffalo ranges that enhances exfoliation). Added with rice bran oil, and fine-grained sea salt,
the scrub helps remove dead skin, promoting new skin growth.

Cactus Wrap Toning Treatment, Buffalo Greens Salt Scrub, and Soothing Agave Nectar Oil

The second part of the process is the cactus toning wrap, which is a marine-based gel that
warms, and firms when applied to the face and body, stimulating blood circulation and
improving elasticity. It contains red marine algae, which firms skin; ginger root extract, which
tones and soothes; paprika extract which increases micro-circulation for skin renewal; and
carrageenana (Irish moss) which is rich in mineral salts and protein.

Lastly, have them massage in some Soothing Agave Nectar oil (can be used on the face, body
and scalp). The sandalwood, barley extract and amurense bark in this oil significantly reduces
trans-epidermal water loss, resulting in a plumper, less wrinkled appearance. For more

Appropriate skin care is a MUST for your clients if they want to stay looking their best.

Hair Care:

BEFORE GOING OUT IN THE SUN: Before your clients bask in the sunlight, they are going to want to use hair protecting products just like they would use SPF sunscreen. Have them spritz on some Rene Furterer Waterproof Nutritive Fluid KPF 90 or Rene Furterer Waterproof Nutritive Oil KPF 90. Both of these products provide all day protection against the sun, blocking out 90 percent of UV rays, while preventing the build up of salt and chlorine. For a little more moisture try the oil over the fluid. Both are water resistant and ideal after Brazilian Keratin treatments. However, they are the protecting products that will help guard your client's hair from fading and sun damage. For more information visit: www.renefurterer.com

WHILE OUT IN THE SUN: L'ANZA Healing Haircare has a beach spray that creates tousled, wind swept hair styles with natural waves and separation. So when your clients are walking around the beach or if they just got out of the pool, this spray will help them create those beachy waves that are a hot hit/trend this summer! To get the best results have them spray it into damp hair and let hair either dry naturally or with a diffuser. They can also choose to spray on dry hair for a light lift at the roots.

AFTER THE SUN TREATMENT:
Scalp:

Recently, I was out in the sun ALL last weekend, and my scalp got totally burnt.
Lots of people suffer from this problem. Dry/sunburnt scalp hurts! And, it leaves your hair
looking flaky. I recently tried out Moroccanoil Dry-No-More-Scalp Treatment, which helps
with the irritation and discomfort. I felt like the oil from this scalp treatment package coated
my head and moisturized like crazy. This kit is formulated with essential nutrients that work
to relieve itchiness. Rich in Vitamin E, polyunsaturated fatty acids and Moroccanoil's signature
argan oil, this treatment is the "Aloe Vera" of scalp treatments. And, it leaves your hair all
shiny too. The kit comes with 50ml of Moroccanoil Treatment, 45ml Dry-No-More Scalp
Treatment and 180ml of Restorative Hair mask. For more information visit: www.moroccanoil.com.

Hair:

Chances are your client's hair is going to be thirsty after a long day in the sun! Whip in the moisture with serious hydration from Pureology. Deep conditioner is an ESSENTIAL hair care tool on vacation. It's the one product that will detangle, moisturize and make your client's hair shiny and vibrant. I specifically tried HydraWhip from Pureology and my hair felt amazing afterwards. It contains natural jojoba and shea butters with strengthening multi-weight proteins of soy, oat and wheat. It also includes a convenient comb so it's easy to distribute the conditioner through hair.

Interesting fact…"85 percent of women have dry hair and 43 percent of women have fine hair," says Kirsten Marsh, Assistant Vice President of US Marketing for Pureology. "Many moisturizing products tend to be heavy on fine hair, making it limp and appear thinner and greasy. To address this need, Hydrate HydraWhip provides moisture that will not weigh hair down, but provides nourishment to soften and protect." For more information visit www.pureology.com.
