The word for the day,"Staycation"!

To enjoy a "Staycation", means you don't have to travel across the world, the country, or even get in your car for that matter, to experience a luxurious spa get away. In fact if I had a dollar for every time someone said after their appointment,"Wow, I'm so relaxed, I don't want to get in my car and drive." Home spa parties to private on location facials and specialized beauty services are on the rise!

Lydia Sarfati president and founder of Repechage says,“The Staycation” With the travel industry taking a $68 billion hit from 2008 to 2009, according to the US Travel Association, the idea of turning the home into a destination has been on the rise. This creates an amazing opportunity to help your clients turn their homes into a personal getaway by suggesting at-home spa treatments, baths, masks and mood setting candles. Let them take a bit of the spa with them."-Ten Big Trends of 2010,Spa Trade.

So, considering Surface Beauty has been doing this officially for over two years now, we are proud to know we are one of the few leading the way in mobile skin and beauty care!

Labios,Lips,Pucker,Mouth,Kisser

No matter what you call it, it's your most personal beauty spot on your face.
We talk, eat, smile, scream, whisper, express all that we feel with every curve of the lips.
We can also see age.
Along with the eyes, our lips don't lie. Fine lines, curves, to texture of the lips can share to the world how old you really are!
The first and foremost best preventative thing you can do to save your lips, is wear SOMETHING on them everyday.
It doesn't mean it has to be color; for example a lip balm, clear gloss, Vaseline, yes, Vaseline. Exfoliate regularly, your toothbrush can do the job just fine.
After your'e done brushing your teeth, run the bristles across your lips gently, to exfoliate any excess skin and then hydrate right away(with a soothing lip balm preferably). Surface Beauty skin specialists recommend a unique and delicious way to exfoliate; check out Edible Lip Scrub from Good Fortune Soap. Rub on, Lick off!
Also, after applying eye cream, don't wipe your fingers off just yet, share with your lips!
Eye cream can be just as beneficial to the outer edges of the lips to smooth and firm the lines.

I'm just the type of girl who isn't afraid of color.
Ever since the day my mother gave in and said it was o.k. to play with makeup, I reached for RED. (Got called Kelly Bundy ALOT)
I love to stain, re shape, line, glaze, gob, shimmer, and gloss my lips. Most lip products are going to be vitamin-E enriched or moisturizing, if it isn't why bother? SO, especially for Fall 2010, It's dark rich, exotic lips, full, fun, and fabulous! Go wild! A must color to try for this season; MAC Cunning! Gorgeous!

Beauty Tip Tuesday

Surface Beauty skin care specialists say:

To maximize the effectiveness of your body creams and moisturizers during the cold and bitter winters to come try:

When you are still in the shower, nice and damp, to apply body oil and or lotion(Farm House Fresh Sweet Cream Milk) to the body. Especially elbows, chest and knees. Moisturizer acts as a sealant to the already hydrated skin, also more effective at holding in moisture. Continue to exit the bath/shower and pat dry. Enjoy the supple and soft finish to your skin. Another tip to penetrating moisture further into the skin, remember to exfoliate first, preferably using a fine salt or sugar scrub for all over the body.(Farm House Fresh Bourbon Bubbler Scrub).

Pretty in Pink
