Tips for Home Facial Care

Tips for Home Facial Care

March 12th, 2012

home facial care tips Keeping your face fresh and clean at home is easy if you know how. It’s simply a matter of choosing quality skin care products proven to protect and nourish your skin, following a regular skin care routine and avoiding all those skin-spoiling bad habits.

Easier said than done? Well here are a few facial care tips from La Spa that are sure to make things that bit easier for you – and your skin!

Cleansing Care

  • Taking care of your skin care tools is just as important as taking care of your skin. Replace cleansing cloths, pads and brushes regularly (or clean them if possible) to ensure you are not spreading bacteria and causing more harm than good to your skin.

  • When using cleansing products make sure your skin is not left feeling dry after use. Gel based washes and cleansers should be well emulsified with water in order to avoid skin becoming dry. Always follow your cleansing routine with a moisturising ritual to keep skin hydrated.

  • When cleansing your skin, use an organic face cloth. Cotton pads can be used to remove makeup but they don’t really clean skin. For a proper clean use a face cloth with tepid water and your cleansing lotion of choice. Make sure you clean the cloth regularly to avoid a build up of bacteria.

  • Avoid touching your skin too much throughout the day, particularly if you are prone to oily skin. This is because your fingertips, however clean, produce a build up of oil and touching your skin, particularly when wearing make up, can create the perfect opportunity for a nasty spot to present itself! For the same reason, avoid using your fingertips as a tool when applying foundation. Use a clean make-up application brush or disposable sponge.

  • Keep skin looking fresh by keeping it hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and make sure your diet includes foods that are vitamin and nutrient rich to support healthy skin function. Most health guidelines recommend getting at least eight hours sleep a night to keep skin in optimum condition – so hit the lights!

Facial Care Products

We have three fabulous facial skin care lines available in our salon…

  • Voya

  • Kerstin Florian

  • Image

40 Days to Feel Great! Detoxing Tips for Lent

February 27th, 2012

detoxing tips for lentFor many of us who’ve given up something we love for Lent, our end goal is not only to feel empowered that we’ve achieved something remarkable, but also to look great and feel physically ready to face Spring (and get ready for swimsuit season!)

While Lent can be tough, if you hope to emerge at the end of Lent butterfly-from-wilting-coccoon-like as a happier, healthier and more beautiful creature, La Spa is here to help*. We’ve some tips below on ways to get through Lent and a range of treatments that can help you get in great shape come Spring. (*Sorry, willpower not provided).

Tip One

All the Small Things. As with any health and beauty goal, start with small, achievable steps. If increased fitness is your aim, start with a daily brisk walk, not an attempted marathon. With each week increase your physical threshold so that by the end of your 40 days you’ll probably be ready for that marathon.

Tip Two

The Old Switcheroo. Giving up yummy treats for a whole 40 days? Good luck with that! Why not try replacing those cravings with something equally yummy but not as calorific? Swap sweets for protein and fibre rich snacks like unsalted nuts or vegetable sticks with spicy dips, olives or other luxury treats.

Tip Three

The Carrot not the Stick. This is all about reward instead of punishment. If you feel your willpower slipping, instead of feeling guilty about delving into that bottle of wine or big bowl of icecream (hey, nobody’s perfect!), reward yourself when you do resist temptation by treating yourself to non-guilty pleasures like an extra long lie-in on Sunday, a night out at the cinema, or a spot of retail therapy.

Tip Four

A Little Extra Help. If the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak and you’re in need of a little extra detox help this Lent, check out the following range of treatments available at La Spa Therapie.

  • Diet Secrets

    The Diet Secret is a simple yet complete diet and lifestyle plan that takes the annoying calorie and points counting out of weight loss, allowing you to eat the food you love while providing you with all the nutrional support you need as you lose weight. Know more…

  • Body Wrap Treatments

    La Spa has a wide range of body wrap treatments designed to help you lose inches, infuse your body with nourishing vitamins and minerals while detoxifying, hydrating and improving skin tone and elasticity. Know more…

  • Collonic Hyrdotherapy

    Not only does this cleansing treatment cleanse and detoxify it can also help treat many common ailments such as bowel disorders, fatigue, food cravings and skin conditions. Know more…

  • Exfoliating Treatments

    A fantastic way to finish off your detoxing regime, a full body exfoliating scrub will stimulate blood flow, cleanse and tone skin, and have your body in great shape for Spring. Know more…

To all our La Spa friends, best of luck with your goals for Lent! Remember we’re here to help you look and feel great so get in touch and make an appointment for one of our body and beauty boosting treatments today.

What Can Massage Really Do For You?

February 17th, 2012

massage treatments

Have you been thinking about getting a massage but don’t really know much about the various benefits or which type of massage will best suit your individual needs? Then it’s time to ask us here at La Spa, just what can massage do for you?

Got aches and pains? Feel generally run down? Just don’t have any get up and go? Have you thought about getting a massage? If you answered, “Well, we all have aches and pains but you just have to take a couple of paracetamol and get on with it, sure massage is only for athletes and couples on holiday,” then we’d like you to think again.

For example, did you know that massage not only helps you relax and de-stress, but actually lowers blood pressure, boosts your immune system, alleviates pain and improves flexibility? And that’s just for starters.

Let’s take a closer look at the many benefits of massage.

Massage can:

  • Alleviate bodily aches and pains and improve the range of motion in your joints,

  • Relax and repair injured, tired or overused muscles,

  • Improve the elasticity and youthfulness of your skin,

  • Promote tissue generation, reducing the visibility of scars and stretch marks,

  • Improve circulation by pumping oxygen and nutrients around vital organs,

  • Enhance the immune system by stimulating the lymph flow – the body’s natural defence system against cold and ‘flu,

  • Relieve migraine,

  • Reduce spasms and cramping,

  • Ease dependence on medication as massage releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer, into your bloodstream,

  • Assist with shorter and more comfortable pregnancies.

In addition to these very powerful physical benefits, massage can also be used to help manage stress. After a massage session you can expect to feel a sense of mental wellness and clarity. Massage has been shown to help decrease anxiety and fatigue and increase energy and concentration, meaning you’ll feel mentally as well as physically improved by your massage experience.

Best of all, after a therapeutic massage session, you’ll have the best night’s sleep you’ll have had in a long time!

Understanding the different types of massage treatments can help you decide which massage is right for you.

Here is a brief overview of the main types of massage available at La Spa.

Holistic Massage

Is the name given to all massage treatments; these break down into sub-categories of different massage styles from around the world. Each has its own unique benefits.

Indian Head Massage

Reduces stress and sustains mental wellbeing

Swedish Massage

Encourages circulation in the body and stimulates muscles

Hot Stone Massage

Provides positive energy and deep heat penetration to muscles

Aromatherapy Massage

Treats the body for specific ailments using essential oils

Lomi Lomi Massage

Is a Hawaiian massage using sweeping movements to relax the mind and body

Ki Massage

Is a light touch massage encouraging positive energy and wellbeing

Reflexology Massage

Uses specific pressure points on the hands and feet to stimulate bodily organs and the nervous system

During a massage, your massage therapist uses their hands and fingers to press and manipulate your skin, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The strokes gently move your blood, oxygen and lymph to various tissues and organs to support healing wherever your body needs it. The result is a level of physical and mental rejuvenation that leaves you feeling stronger, healthier and happier.

Lipstick Application Tips

January 27th, 2012

6 Quick Lipstick Tricks! PART TWO

Since Valentine’s day is just around the corner we thought now would be a great time to talk about that kisser of yours. Are your lips Valentine’s-ready? To make sure they are, here are a few lipstick application tips to make the most of your pout…

If you haven’t already seen PART ONE of our quick-and-easy guide to making the most of your lipstick then check it out here.

So on to part two… Our final three tips are all about application: If you need to plump up that pout or keep your lippy on for longer these tips are for you!

  • Lipstick Application

    Using a lip liner and lip brush is the best combination for applying lipstick as it gives you greater control of the application. Apply the liner starting at one corner and tracing around your lip to the other corner, but avoid going right into the corners of your lips. Then apply your lipstick once with the lip brush, blot with a tissue, and reapply. Apply a third time if you want a stronger look. Another tip: try coating your lips with foundation to smooth and soften your lips before applying your lipstick. Your lipstick colour should stay on for hours – except for times when your mouth is busy doing other things of course!

  • Keeping Lipstick Fresh

    Lipstick Application TechniquesNo matter what colour lipstick you choose, apply lip liner to the outline and then use it to fill in the fleshy part of your lips, smudging slightly as you go. You can then follow with a gloss or lipstick but if you’re looking for ultra staying power use matte. You can always apply a thin layer of gloss over your matte lipstick to add shine. Another tip: when wearing a red lipstick, use a brown lip liner all over the lips first, as the red pigment will then last longer.

  • Creating Fuller Lips

    To get a bee-stung pout a-la Rosie Huntington-Whitely (http://bit.ly/tDymbB) hold off on the botox treatment and try a little artful lip design instead. The trick to remember here is that light brings forward, dark recedes; light, glossy colours reflect the light making your lips appear larger while dark, matte colours will make lips appear smaller.

    So, how to do? First, using a lip liner close to your natural lip colour, trace the outer edge of your lips ever so slightly outside the natural line. Blend the liner into the centre of your lips with a lip brush to avoid a harsh edge. Use a deeper shade of that lip colour at the outside corners of your lips and then apply the slightly lighter shade to fill in the rest. Finish with a long-lasting gloss and don’t rub lips together as this will only reduce shine.

We hope these six tips on creating the perfect lip come in useful during your next make-up application. If you have any great tips you would like to share please leave a comment!
If you want perfect lips for your next big occasion, call in to La Spa for a full make-up treatment.

The 7 step guide to perfect eyebrows with HD Brows

January 21st, 2012

In case you haven’t already heard the eye-popping news, La Spa Therapie Malahide (one of only a handful of salons in Ireland) now offer HD Brows, the ultimate high definition brow-shaping beauty treatment.

We’ve already been raving about HD Brows on this blog, giving you a run down on what this treatment involves and why the HD brow look is becoming a total beauty must have. You can check out that blog here.

Now, we’d like to take you a little further into the world of HD Brows by revealing the seven steps to the HD Brow technique.

Step One – Preparation & Assessment

During the initial consultation your HD stylist analyses your face shape and eyebrow requirements and together you decide which brow shape will best suit your personality, your style and your facial features.

Step Two – Tinting

A high definition tint is used to even out or darken your eyebrow colour accordingly.

Step Three – Waxing

A specially blended HD wax is used to painlessly and precisely remove unwanted hair from the brow area.

Step Four – Trimming

Specialised HD scissors are used to trim back long, wiry and unruly hairs to create a neat and tidy brow line.

Step Five – Threading

Threading, the ancient Eastern art of hair removal, involves using a special thread to blend hairs into the brow area, precisely removing unwanted hairs from the brow, creating a streamlined look.

Step Six – Tweezing

Any stray leftover hairs are tweezed out to perfect your HD brow.

Step Seven – Finish

The treated skin is wiped down with a soothing lotion, hair follicles are closed using a skin calming tonic, and special mineral powders are applied to the area to calm and camouflage any redness. The HD Brow Beater wand then sets the hairs into place for an immaculate finish. Your stylist then either uses a HD Brow pencil or HD eyebrow palette to fill in any gaps in the brows. Finally, your HD stylist will give you individual advice on after care at home.

HD Brows founder, Nilam Patel, says her revolutionary brow shaping technique can truly transform your look. “You can create a huge difference to the face,” Nilam says. “You can change someone’s features; almost look like you’ve given them a bit of a face lift by having a decent arch in their brow.”

We’ll let Nilam tell you more about the origins, techniques and benefits of HD Brows herself in this short video. Enjoy!

If you want to get the HD Brow look for yourself, get in touch with us at La Spa and make an appointment.

Why You’ve Got to Try Acupuncture

January 13th, 2012

acupuncture benefitsAcupuncture – the ancient holistic therapy that promotes all-over wellbeing – is now available at La Spa Therapie Malahide! So what is acupuncture and what exactly are the benefits of sticking lots of tiny little needles into your skin? And does it hurt?

Well, La Spa’s resident acupuncture expert, Frederic Simeoni, is here to explain…

Hi, I’m Frederic, and I am your acupuncture therapist at La Spa Therapie Malahide.

Acupuncture promotes physical and emotional wellbeing and relieves pain and discomfort caused by bodily imbalances. This ancient Chinese holistic therapy involves inserting fine sterilised needles into predetermined points on your body in order to restore health and promote wellbeing.

Acupuncture isn’t painful. The sensation of acupuncture points being inserted can feel unusual if it’s your first time, and certain acupuncture points may be more sensitive than others, but the initial sensation is very short-lived and the end result is very calming and pleasing.

The reason I highly recommend acupuncture is because it is such an holistic treatment with a host of benefits, including:

Physical Wellbeing

Our diet, mental stresses and hectic lifestyles can play havoc with our energy (what the Chinese refer to as Qi). Acupuncture helps to redress the balance by applying acupuncture needles to points on the body that are deficient and in need of energy. The result is an overall feeling of improved health and vitality. Respiratory conditions like asthma, allergies, sinusitis and rhinitis are all relieved with acupuncture. Acupuncture can also have a positive effect on strengthening your immune system, relieving premenstrual and menopausal symptoms, sleep disturbances and insomnia.

Emotional Wellbeing

Depression, anxiety, fatigue, mood swings – emotional side-effects of a physical imbalance – can all be addressed with acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture pressure points on your body access both your physical and emotional needs and the insertion of acupuncture needles at those points redresses that balance wherever it is needed. After an acupuncture session you will feel both physically and emotionally recharged.

Stress Reduction

Regular acupuncture treatment is a great way to relieve stress as the acupuncture needles re-balance your energy flow, drain away stress and strain and totally relax body and mind.

Pain Reduction

Relief of chronic and acute bodily pains is one of the most common applications of acupuncture treatment. Ailments such as arthritis, back and neck pain, joint sprains, digestive discomfort, menstrual aches, migraines and headaches can all be relieved by acupuncture.

Acupuncture has been practised the world over for thousands of years and is still praised today as a life-enhancing treatment suitable for all ages and lifestyles. Celebrities like Elle Macpherson, Gyneth Paltrow and many high-profie athletes proclaim the benefits of acupuncture .

If you’d like to know more before you try, call in for a consultation and I’ll answer all of your questions. I’m happy to help!

What do you think about acupuncture? Are you already a devotee or are you thinking about trying it for the first time? Let us know your thoughts.
