Staying Glamorous For the Long Night Out
Getting ready to bump the beat and hit the street tonight? Clubbing is great fun and a way to keep the bonds with your ladies tight, but it can play hell on your skin and hair. You can take a few simple precautions to keep your look fresh and minimize the damage while you’re out getting dangerous.
The key to maintaining a glamorous look that’s actually low-maintenance is to “expect the unexpected.” Be prepared for conditions and hours that you might not see coming. So let’s look into it…
#1: Avoid makeup streaking
The easy precaution to this is to spritz your face with a light, non-aerosol hairspray. Some clubs get hot hot hot. Using this little trick means you’ll be dance floor-proof in seconds flat.
#2: The eyes have it
When making a first impression in clubs, restaurants or group outings make sure your eyes aren’t overdone and drawing more attention than you require. Because your eyes are the first thing that people notice about you, use lighter colors that compliment a smiling face, not darker colors that warn people away.
#3: Balance is beautiful
Dancing in a hot club can mean risking raccoon damage. Avoid putting any eyeliner pencil on the bottom and make up for it with some extra waterproof mascara on the bottom lashes. It’s basically the same effect and you won’t end up looking like you have a vitamin deficiency.
#4: Simple solution to avoid stringiness
Want to keep your hair looking beautiful all night? Comb in just a little bit of baby powder after you’ve finished setting it. Just go easy on it. Sprinkle a little bit, comb it through and you’re good to go. You can also bring a little bottle in your clutch if you need a booster during a long night.
#5: Reduce the damage the morning after
Nothing like a night out in a hot and smoky nightclub does damage to your skin and hair. A quick and easy solution to keeping it all at bay is a bath with some extra healing power. Draw a warm bath and stir in a cup of honey to help your skin rejuvenate to the soft and smooth condition it was in before.

Champagne used in pedicures?
Pop the cork and celebrate your… feet! There’s a new ingredient fighting age spots and exfoliating your tootsies and you can only get it from France: Champagne! Some salons are offering champagne pedicures to help soothe your tired feet. Have you heard of this new beauty salon service?
How it works: your feet are soaked in a rose mineral bath and a nail technician massages champagne oil into your feet, and then applies a grape peel scrub. Champagne oil is high in antioxidants, and it helps activate the grape peel scrub, which makes the skin glow.
Some nail technicians claim that this pedicure is also good for diabetic clients because it supposed to stimulate circulation. This can also build the capillaries that diabetic patients lose.
Why settle for regular pedicures when you can have the champagne of pedicures – literally!
Have you experienced or has your salon offered this champagne pedicure service? Better yet, have you learned about this fancy new process in your nail technician training?
