Cove Spa Summer Suggestions

Summer is the season where we dare to bare; are more exposed to harmful sun rays and our skin is prone to dehydration and dryness. We all want to look fab in our summer dresses and show off our tans. And summer skin is all about looking refreshed and glowing.

Don't Forget to Protect Your Other Parts

Women know to put sunscreen on their faces, but often they forget their chests, hands and necks which later in life can be tell tale signs of age. When you apply sunscreen, take a couple of minutes to slather it on your chest and neck. Use whatever's leftover on the backs of your hands.

It's important to apply sunscreen a couple of times throughout the day. One application in the morning won't necessarily last a full 12 hours especially if you are outside. Keep a tube of Pevonia HYDRATING SUNSCREEN SPF 30 $79.95 in your handbag. It is a perfect sun protection for the body and the face, and is also a great moisturizer as it is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin E, green tea and French rose and won’t leave a greasy film on the skin.

Tanning

Golden bronzed legs under a stylish new summer dress look divine! Spray tans are the safest way to look great and feel slimmer for a special occasion, whether it is a Christmas function, meeting up with friends or going down to the beach. Book in for our ‘bronzed goddess package’ $110: A full body exfoliation and a spray tan. The body exfoliation is perfect to help prepare your skin, it is exfoliating and nourishing and helps your tan to last longer. And if you can’t make it to the Spa, ask about our tanning home care packs just $65.00 (Scrub in a Tub Tan Remover, Spray on Tan in a Can, Shimmering Bronzer) for a fuss free DIY job to have you looking your best time after time.

Skin Care

When it comes to skin care, keep it light and cool! Oxygenating facials are ideal for this time of the year as they are light, yet full of protective nutrients. Our Spa style Oxygen Infusion Facial $195.00 (allow 1hr 40 min) is the ultimate Summer suggestion. This treatment will smooth and lift your skin, the floral skin peel will deeply exfoliate and smooth the skin texture before the 02 Infusion. This ultimate summer treatment ticks every box and includes a facial massage, mask and foot massage.

Foundation Is Out, Tinted Moisturizer Is In

If you refuse to go bare in summer and can't imagine life without your foundation, consider trying an ELES MINERAL SHEER TINT $62.95. The bonus with the mineral sheer tint is that it has an SPF 20 and being mineral make up it will allow your skin to breathe!

Lighter than foundation, ELES mineral sheer tint covers flaws but feels ultra light and less "cakey." And while foundations can feel as if they're melting off your face this time of year, tinted moisturizers won't.
Tip: Most women are darker in summer, so if you insist on using your foundation, consider one shade for summer and a lighter one for winter.

Go for a Bold Nail Polish

When flaunting your toes in cute summer sandals, consider painting your nails a fun, bright color. Bold colors such as hot pink or bright orange are especially popular this summer and look great on most skin types. A Cove Spa Pedicure with ‘the works’ $99.00 or mini version $55.00.
