A Sick Person's Guide To Happier Skin

Sick days. Whether it's just a quick cold or the full blown flu, getting sick can cause issues for the health and structure of your skin. Although you may be down for the count, we have pulled together a few remedies to aid in your skin's recovery from illness. This is a sick person's guide to happier skin.

Redness: Barrier Fix Daily Hydrator
When you fall ill, the most common sign is a runny nose, and eventually a red dried out nose. Eventually your skin feels raw and extremely uncomfortable, under your nose will also dry out and feel like it is going to crack. We have the perfect solution for you that will resolve your problems naturally and gently. Barrier Fix Daily Hydrator helps restore the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier while calming red, reactive skin as you slowly recover in your health.  

Tightness: Sensitive Skin Cleansing Oil
​Throughout illness, your skin grows increasingly dry causing tightness and discomfort throughout your skin. Using an oil based cleanser will relieve your skin of that uncomfortable feeling while creating a hydrated complexion. The Sensitive Skin Cleansing Oil contains restorative plant + oils to help strengthen your skin barrier while giving your skin the nourishment it desperately needs.

Dry Skin: Soothing Reset Mist
The first solution we typically have when sick is to take a warm shower and curl up in bed. When your skin comes in contact with water, it will throw off it's natural pH balance, which can cause dryness to your already temperamental skin. Saturating your skin with out Soothing Reset Mist after cleansing will bring your skin back to it's natural balance, follow with a moisturizer to best protect your skin from drying out.

Sensitive Eyes: Sensitive Skin Eye Smoother
Watery and uncomfortable eyes will typically follow your runny nose, and this can be one of the most irritating parts of being sick. Using our Sensitive Skin Eye Smoother shields against irritants and target inflammation as it de-puffs and soothes.

Cracked Lips: Collagen Rehab
There is nothing worse than having your lips dry out and start the dreaded cracking. Being sick, especially throughout the colder months, will eventually lead to cracked lips. Applying our Collagen Rehab will restore your lips back to their happy state. Fun Fact: This 2 in 1 mask can be applied to your face and lips! 

Dullness: Radiance Rescue
I am sure you can gather where I am going from here, getting sick=dry skin which in turn leads to dull looking facial tones. Adding our Radiance Rescue facial mask to your routine will ensure your skin bounces back to it's radiant and healthy self in no time! Follow with plenty of water consumption!

Whether you have some or all of these sick skin care problems or all of them, following this quick guide will help you on your journey back to a healthy life! Keeping an eye out for sensitive/soothing ingredients is always your best bet when handling sick skin. Stop by the salon today and snag your emergency sick day kit!

 Although it may not feel like it's coming anytime soon, Summer is definitely on it's way and this means it is time to protect against UV rays! Whether you color your hair regularly or you like to keep it natural, UV protection is very important. Just like your skin, your hair can be damaged from being out in the sun unprotected for too long. We have compiled a few quick tips on how you can better prepare for this Summer! 

Tip#1: Use a product that will help protect your hair when exposed to the sun. Our Color Care line created by Lanza offers a unique Flower Shield Complex that protects every color on the color wheel. Our owner Ginny always recommends using our Trauma Treatment Restorative Conditioner followed by our leave in Trauma Treatment. This duo works together to protect hair from the damaging effects of UV rays.  

Tip #2: Avoid chlorinated water, I know it may be difficult for some; however, chlorine can be very harmful not only to the color of your hair, but the integrity of it as well. Our stylist Reid recommends if you plan to be in chlorinated water, to be sure you wet your hair before and rinse it out after. We also retail a Clarifying Shampoo created by Lanza that will not harm the current color of your hair as it is part of our Color Care line using the Flower Shield Complex mentioned earlier!

Tip #3: Use a deep conditioning treatment. We all know why this quick tip is super important, there is nothing worse than a fun filled day with friends outdoors until you get home and your hair feels like straw. More than likely, you may have forgotten UV protection for your hair and it is begging for a little hydration. Luckily we have the perfect solutions for you, at home conditioning treatments! We offer three incredibly hydrating masks that you can bring home today:
  • Moi Moi Masque
  • KHO Intensive Hair Mask
  • CBD Replenishing Hair Mask
All three of these masks have incredible natural scents and have one job, restoring your hair back to it's happy moisturized self. Simply apply to wet hair, leave in for 10-15 minutes, rinse and follow with your favorite Lanza conditioner! Pro Tip: Adding the leave in Trauma Treatment will add even more moisture to your hair with UV protection as well!


So there you have it, three quick and easy tips to ensure your hair has the best summer ever! Don't forget, regular trims can also maintain the integrity of your hair as well as professional in salon conditioning treatments. Be sure to call and schedule your appointment today at (585)243-3890.
