Now that’s it’s officially “it’s-dark-by-5-o-clock” season, you may be feeling like your skin is lacking that warm, vibrant glow it once had during the warmer months. Luckily, Joanna and her team of skilled aestheticians have the perfect remedy for that winter pallor, the Golden Glow Sunless Tan!
By now, we’ve all been told about how damaging sun exposure is to the skin. Tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed is just about the worst thing you can do to your birthday suit! Not only will it cause substantial pre-mature aging (think: dry, leathery, wrinkled skin, yikes!), but it will more alarmingly increase your risk of skin cancer by a long shot.
What makes the Golden Glow Tanning solution unique? Our non-toxic formula is made with certified organic ingredients and its health benefits are through the roof! Jam packed with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, E, C, F, Omega 3s, green tea and aloe vera, the Golden Glow helps nourish the skin and maximize its ability to retain age-defying moisture. This golden potion is then sprayed onto the skin with 98% pure oxygen, leaving you with a smooth, streak-free finish! Additionally, the tanning agent is derived from beets and can be customized to any skin tone, meaning you no longer have to worry about coming out Oompa Loompa orange. The treatment is preceded by a full body microdermabrasion treatment - the ultimate head to toe anti-aging experience for a brand new you! Once the anti-aging spray tan is applied, keep it on for six to eight hours before showering. After rinsing, you’ll have a gorgeous glow for 5-7 days!

Thickness does not equal resilience, and understanding this allows for better, more personalized care.

How to Tell If You Have Sensitive Skin (Hint: 85% of Us Do)
To test if you have sensitive skin, press firmly on your cheek in a few spots and lift your finger. If redness appears where you pressed, you have sensitive skin. You can also check the crease of your nose next to the nostrils or your upper cheeks for small broken capillaries under the surface. Sensitivity often shows up as breakouts, redness, rosacea, or dry, flaky patches, and Joanna Vargas estimates that roughly 85% of her clients have sensitive skin, even if they don't realize it.
