Proper Summer Skincare Tips

 


    Having a regular skin care routine is important for the look and health of your skin, but how do you keep up with the constant changing of the seasons and the affect it has on your skin? Summertime brings on a whole different set of rules when it comes to keeping your skin healthy and glowing and luckily, we know some tips to help you out if you are struggling like the rest of us. 

Tip 1: Wear Sunscreen

    We know you hear this from everyone, but it really is a vital step in your skin care routine. Experts recommend that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF levels of 30 or higher on all exposed skin. Whether or not you are putting on a full face of makeup or just going natural for the day, you will want to make sure that applying your sunscreen is the last step of your routine that morning and that you consistently reapply throughout the day. This will keep you fully protected from those UV rays while you are finishing your tasks for the day. 

Tip 2: Lighten Your Skin Care Routine

    The summer time brings heat and humidity, so instead of sticking with your heavier creams and moisturizers, it is time to lighten the load. To help with this you could start by using a dual-purpose moisturizer. Switching to a moisturizer that also has SPF in it will help your skin care routine and keep your face feeling fresh. Heavy moisturizers can often clog pores and cause irritation and acne, and with the mix of the heat, no one wants to deal with that. Just make sure if you do make the switch that you reapply it every couple of hours so you are still protected from the sun's rays.

Tip 3: Invest in A Good Vitamin C Serum

    To keep your face glowing and feeling fresh, we recommend that you use a vitamin c serum. While it is great for you to use this all year round, it is more important in the summer. It helps with prevention of hyperpigmentation, helps to improve the appearance of fine line, and can help with collagen production. A few drops of this between your cleansing and moisturizing step will have you feeling brand new.

Tip 4: Don't Forget to Exfoliate

    During the summer, especially if you have oily skin, it is okay to start exfoliating your skin more. Now this doesn't mean you should exfoliate everyday, but you can do it more. Because you are sweating a lot more during this time of year, there is more dead skin and oil production. This can cause breakouts and blocked pores that no one wants, so exfoliating twice a week can help you immensely. 

If you are trying to beat the summer heat but you feel like your skin care routine just isn't working and you need some extra relief, call Bankz Salon to set up a facial, or visit us online to book an appointment. We can't wait to help you feel great again!

Spring is one of the most exciting seasons to try cool nail art or a new style, so it's no surprise you've likely been seeing interesting designs all over your social media pages. If you're like us, you'll want to join in on the fun! So, what's trending right now? Here's an overview:  1. Colored French Tips We're loving this twist on the original white French nail tips! Not only does this trend adopt different colors--from pastel to neon--it takes on a new nail shape as well. The original French tip design usually consists of a squared shape, but we're seeing more almond, oval, and stiletto French looks this spring. 2. Swirl Nail Art  In the past month, many have ditched clean, solid paint styles for abstract or swirly distinct nail art. Funky colored lines and shapes are on the trend; you can hardly avoid daily photos of fresh, new designs that use spring colors in an interesting way; we can't say we mind!   3. Earthy Greens Spring brings new life, ...

Try Something New At Banks

  Experiment With A New Manicure      Have you ever heard of a powder dip manicure? It is unlikely you have. A powder dip manicure might be all you would ever want out of a nail service. It is stronger than traditional gel polish, lasts long as an acrylic set does, and does not ruin your nails the way alternative manicures do! The process is much faster than any of the other manicure methods. It starts off as any other service would with the smoothing and cutting of the nail, caring for your cuticles, and shaping the nail. Before applying the powder, there should be an application of a clear base coat. Then the fun begins, there are several colors to choose from, and once you decide, we will simply dip your finger into the fine powders, brush the excess off, and repeat this process until the nail is completely covered and hardened. When we are done, we apply a gel clear coat to seal it and send you on your way!  As mentioned, this manicure lasts way longer than ...
