Product Highlight: COOLA Refreshing Water Mist

How is a water mist going to protect my skin from the sun?

The COOLA Refreshing Water Mist is a lightweight SPF spray infused with organic aloe and coconut water to help hydrate skin. Coconut water contains minerals and electrolytes that help to rehydrate you as well as a sports drink!

In addition to great hydration, this product contains Jasmine Leaf Extract. This extract is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. With antioxidants infused in this product, it is great to protect the skin from environmental stressors and pollution in the air.

A complete full spectrum complex. 360-degree protection against modern skin aggressors such as blue light.

Many of you have heard of blue light protection for your eyes (blue light glasses), but Blue light has also been shown to create changes in your skin cells. It causes your skin cells to shrink, and in cases when exposed to electronic blue light for prolonged periods, the skin cells even die. This kind of cell shrinkage will speed up the aging process of this skin and, in some cases, even cause pigmentation or dark spots. So why speed up your aging process when you don’t have to?

COOLA Refreshing Water Mist is a great product for multiple reasons; full spectrum SPF with healthy skin benefits, suitable for all skin types, reef-safe SPF, and from a cruelty-free company. We love great products with skin benefits.

You can find it on our website, and for the rest of September, all COOLA products are 25% off!

Lash Lift After Care

There are a few questions that we get a lot regarding the after care and maintenance of the lash lifting. They’re pretty low maintenance believe it or not!

“What do I do after this?”
The main things to remember are no water or no mascara for 24 hours. Think of the iconic courtroom scene from Legally Blonde:

“Because isn't the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate”

The process and solutions are very similar to that of a hair perm. Getting the lashes wet will deactivate the solutions and cause the lashes to fall. We don’t recommend doing any excessive sweating, swimming, showering, washing your face, etc. Keep those puppies dry!

“If I get a tint, can I still use mascara?” 

Yes! You can still use mascara if you want to, but tinting them a darker color, you may not want to! Just don’t put anything on for the first 24 hours after you receive the service.

“Can I still use a lash serum when they are lifted?”

Of course! It’s highly encouraged to use a lash serum while you have a lift, as well as a conditioner. This will protect your lashes and keep them healthy.

“Is there a lash length requirement for the lifting process?”

While we want to say yes, we can lift shorter lashes, there is just a bit of a risk with them being too short. We can risk damaging the lashes or you really won’t see that much of a dramatic difference with the lift. 

“How soon should I get this redone?” 

We will rebook you at 6 weeks to get them relifted. Normally 6-8 weeks is the timeframe in which you need to get them relifted. Your lashes' natural cycle of life spans from 6 -8 weeks and it depends on where you are in that cycle when you get the lift done. We recommend the 6 week mark to catch the lashes before they completely fall. This will condition your lashes to stay curled so that they can stay that way longer.

“What lash serums do you recommend?”  

There are a lot of options out there for lash serums. The one that we recommend is by the brand Grande Lash. We love that brand as a whole and love seeing the results that it gives our clients. We also suggest the Grande Lash thickening mascara in conjunction with the serum. The mascara is infused with peptides which help to protect and strengthen your lashes.

I hope this helped to give you some answers to your burning questions! We have a great video posted on our website to help you guys as well.
