Sienna X comes to Euphoric

With our 11^th birthday fast approaching, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to review and update our treatment menu

11 years is a long time, within which any business will witness many developments, none more so than those in the beauty industry, which is extremely diverse and ever-changing.

Sunless tanning is a big part of the beauty industry and is one area that has changed vastly over the last 11 years. As new products and technologies are developed, the results which can be achieved continuously improve.

Having worked with the same tanning products since opening, we decided to review the market and are excited to be re-launching our sunless tanning with Sienna-X. 

We decided on Sienna-X for several reasons:  

Industry leading, high quality professional products

Sienna X has a wide range of products, with something to suit every skin type. The products have been created with quality and luxury in mind and are paraben, alcohol and cruelty free. 

All the solutions contain natural, nourishing ingredients.  From refreshing Aloe Vera to age-defying Q10 and soothing Shea Butter to tan-optimising Erythrulose, the products not only bronze your skin, but help enhance your sunless tan.  

Sienna-X also offers a homecare range to prepare and prolong your tan. These products have also been tailored to achieve a premium, luxurious fake tan.

Education and Raising Standards

Sienna-X offers award-winning training accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapists. This means our clients can feel confident in the standard and quality of our spray tanning services, with a flawless tan every time.

Training and education are a core part of Euphoric and we strive to stand as experts in our field. The Sienna-X training programme, with its advanced training, supports our philosophy. 

Award-winning

Sienna-X has won countless awards, both consumer and industry, including the Beauty Guild Awards of Excellence for six consecutive years. From Best Tanning Supplier to Best Customer Service, it’s no surprise that their reputation as the market leading professional sunless tanning brand in the UK continues to grow.

Supporting Sun Safety

As a skin clinic, we are highly committed to promoting healthy skin for life and sun safe practices. Every year Sienna X supports the Sun Awareness Campaign, raising awareness of just how harmful the sun’s rays can be, and how burning can cause irreparable damage to the skin. Sienna-X products help you enjoy a natural looking tan with products that moisturise and improve the skin.

We’re looking forward to working with Sienna-X in promoting the Sun Awareness Campaign.

At Euphoric we offer only the very best products and services for our clients. Strong press reviews, vast awards and high-profile event collaboration (such as the Brit Awards and Strictly Come Dancing) have helped Sienna X grow into a strong, reputable fan-favourite amongst tanning fans and professionals alike.

We’re celebrating the launch of Sienna-X with a special Autumn Glow Package, which includes a full body exfoliation followed by a Spray Tan with our fantastic new products. The package also includes a gift pack including trial sizes of some of Sienna-X’s homecare products to prolong your tan.

There are only 25 of these packages available so call us on 01903 206600 to book. 

Post Holiday Skin

The summer can leave the skin feeling dry and flaky. Here we look at how to tackle post holiday dehydration and prepare the skin for the winter months.

Sun exposure affects the skin in a number of ways. Dehydration is caused by stress placed on the natural moisturizing factors (NMF), a collection of water-soluble compounds found in the most superficial layer of the skin. NMF components absorb water from the atmosphere and combine it with their own water content allowing the outermost layers of the skin to stay hydrated despite exposure to the elements.  Dry heat and photodamage affect the NMF. Prolonged exposure to the sun causes water to evaporate from the skin. NMF components are water soluble and therefore easily leached from cells. There is also the added complication of air-conditioning in hot weather. Then, as we move in to the winter there is a natural drop in NMF, the colder it gets the worse it is. All these factors contribute to premature ageing.

One of the biggest consequences of dryness and dehydration is an increase in sensitivity as dryness and dehydration are precursors to sensitized skin. Addressing issues quickly can help stave off issues of sensitization.

It is important to note that even oily skin can suffer from dehydration.

Environ’s Focus Hydrating Serum is the perfect solution to dehydration issues. Formulated with Hyaluronic acid and other skin quenching ingredients it boosts hydration levels, plumps the skin and reduces fine lines. The acid formula derived from plants has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water.

Environ’s Hydrating Oil Capsules are also beneficial as a booster for the skin following sun exposure or when extra hydration is needed. The capsules contain low levels of Retinol along with antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, Green Tea Extract and Rosemary Leaf Extract. It helps energise and hydrate the skin whilst strengthening skin cell walls. The capsules can be used for one month as a booster. They can also be used before applying the AVST Hydrating Exfoliating Masque to give a more intense hydrating treatment.  

Euphoric are offering free skin consultations during the month of September. Call on 01903 206600 to book an appointment with one of their experienced skin therapists and prepare your skin for winter.

Stay Safe in the Sun

With the mini heatwave looking like it will continue over the next few days, it is important to consider how we can stay safe in the sun and avoid getting sunburnt.

Skin cancer is currently the most common form of cancer in the UK with 37 people a day diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Yet most people still claim they feel healthier with a tan.

According to a OnePoll study, 75% of people have been sunburnt and 16% believe that getting sunburnt results in a better tan! Your skin never recovers from sunburn and getting sunburnt just once doubles the risk of melanoma.

Those most at risk are:

1.       Anyone with a history of sunburn or recreational exposure to sunlight

2.       The risk is higher if you have had an episode of sunburn in childhood

3.       The risk is high for sunbed users

4.       Fair skinned individuals with light hair and eyes are more likely to burn than tan and are more at risk of skin cancer

It is important to protect your skin with a good quality sunscreen. However, studies have found that not all sunscreens are equal! Sunscreens don’t necessarily offer the level of protection claimed on the packaging and studies have found that the most expensive brands don’t necessarily offer better protection.

The age of your sunscreen is also a factor. Once opened the active ingredients in the product lose their effect after a certain period of time, and sunscreen which has been kept for years might not be offering you the protection you think it is.

Follow these sunscreen guidelines:

·         
Apply sunscreen liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and re-apply frequently (every 1 ½ - 2 hours) for ongoing sun protection

·         
Re-apply after swimming, perspiring and outdoor activities

·         
Use daily protection, regardless of skin type or colour

·         
Limit sun exposure between 10am and 3pm

Environ’s new RAD Sun Spray SPF 25 contains four different sunscreen elements which offer UVA and UVB protection that is also increased by the inclusion of the various antioxidants and vitamins contained in the formula, including vitamins C and E, rosemary leaf extract, lycopene and malt secrets. It is recognised by the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) as a broad spectrum sunscreen providing adequate UVA and UVB protection.

Heatstroke is another danger associated with excessive sun exposure. Heat exhaustion occurs due to a loss of body fluids and salts following exposure to heat for a prolonged period of time. The individual experiences fatigue as a result of a decrease in blood pressure and blood volume. If untreated this can lead to heatstroke, which is much more serious than heat exhaustion. The body’s temperature becomes dangerously high due to excessive heat exposure. The body is unable to cool itself and becomes overheated. Signs of heatstroke include dry skin, vertigo, headache, confusion, thirst, nausea, muscle cramps and hyperventilation.

We often think that because we are in England the sun is not as strong. We do not take the heat seriously and forget to apply protection.

Be safe in the sun and think of your skin health – don’t leave home without your SPF and don’t forget to drink plenty of water!

RAD Spray SPF 25 – Antioxidant-rich sun care

The long awaited RAD Spray SPF 25 has finally arrived! This innovative free-radical quenching lotion meets the needs of those who require a hard working suncare with multiple benefits.

RAD SPF 15, Environ’s original suncream, was launched 22 years ago and remains one of the world’s most effective sunscreen products, combining both reflective and absorbent sunscreens together with a brigade of antioxidants. RAD was a world first in including an antioxidant vitamin complex in a suncream to address those rays that escape through the sun protection factors and get into the skin where they cause damage by creating free radicals.  

Plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes, creator of Environ anti-ageing vitamin skincare products, said “We have the complete antioxidant brigade behind the main line protection, acting as the internal defence against the sun.  The antioxidants penetrate the skin and cannot be removed by water.” 

RAD Spray SPF 25 has even better UVA protection and the addition of new protective ingredients, provides a lighter, fluid formulation that spreads more easily over the skin while retaining all the benefits of the original RAD cream. The new formula also meets the latest SPF level and UVA ratio requirements of the anti-cancer associations.

This broad spectrum sun lotion contains four different sunscreen elements which offer UVA and UVB protection that is also increased by the inclusion of the various antioxidants and vitamins contained in the formula:

·       

•      Vitamins C and E. Most sunscreen products offer inadequate protection against the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Researchers have found that the addition of antioxidant vitamins C and E play a vital role in protecting skin, helping prevent skin cancer and keeping skin firm and young looking. 

·         

•      Rosemary leaf extract and colourless carotenoids (lycopene) derived from tomatoes, which assist in protecting against free radicals and sun damage.

·         

•      Malt Secrets^® (barley seed extract) is rich in polyphenols and ferulic acid. This ingredient is proven to work in synergy with vitamins C and E and has excellent anti-ageing and antioxidant properties.

RAD Sun Spray SPF 25 is recognised by the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) as a broad spectrum sunscreen providing adequate UVA and UVB protection.

RAD Spray should be applied liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and re-applied frequently every 1½ to 2 hours for ongoing sun protection. It should also be re-applied after swimming, perspiring and outdoor activities.

It may be safely used by all ages including babies of six months and older.

RAD Sun Spray SPF 25 (120ml pump) costs £29.95 and is available now from Euphoric Beauty and Skin Clinic. Call 01903 206600 if you need any more information.
