Has springtime got you all hot and ‘buttered’?

bliss-277
If springtime has you grabbing at the miniskirts in your closet, get your skin springtime-ready with hot salt scrub, our legendary all-over sea salt body scrub is oil-free, super-softening, self-heating and spiked with eucalyptus and rosemary oils. It’s the ultimate do-it-yourself spa-strength skin smoother.

I love using hot salt scrub as a pre-shaving treatment. I apply a good amount to dry skin (salt + water=melt!) and give my skin a gentle scrub. This sloughs off all of the dulling dead skin cells that prevent me from getting a super-close shave. After I get out of the shower, I apply body butter while my skin is still slightly damp (it helps lock in hydration for long-lasting moisturization)!

Our customers say:
“I have tried every scrub you can buy and this is by far the best!!!! This is great to use before shaving and doesn’t irritate your skin. It also doesn’t leave that annoying oily film that some scrubs do. The warming action makes it very relaxing! I will never be without this again!”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Pre-waxing Presidents

abe-lincoln
Call me superficial, but the first thing I think of when I look at this picture is “Oh, honey, we have GOT to do something with those eyebrows!” I know that waxing hadn’t quite gained popularity in the 1860’s, but if it had, Abe should have marched himself over to 49th street for a brow waxing faster than you can say “I am the 16th president of the USA” five times fast!

We’ve had the fabulous troupe of estheticians who will be working at the Hoboken spa (which will open *very* soon) in our headquarters perfecting their skills with our poetic wax, so I volunteered myself for an eyebrow wax. My wax was ouch-free as usual. Have you ever been waxed at Bliss? We use a low-heat, stripless wax that is as painless as possible. The best part is that the wax can be used on hair as short as 1mm, which means you don’t have to grow it out in order to get waxed. The wax virtually shrink wraps the hair and becomes the strip, so it’s super easy to remove and doesn’t yank off the topmost layer of skin like other waxes.

My secret weapon against ingrowns and breakouts post waxing for any facial waxing (brow, lip, chin, etc) is bliss change your spots, an invisible lightweight gel that has a the highest level of salicylic acid you can get without a prescription. The salicylic acids exfoliates away post-waxing breakouts without drying the skin. I apply 8-12 hours after waxing.

Bliss change your spots is also my purse-sized hero to banish blemishes FAST-feel one coming? Apply change your spots! Have one already? Apply change your spots and the healing time will be diminished. Have you ever had one of those post-breakout dark spots that just won’t go away? Change your spots contains licorice root, which lightens hyperpigmentation, so your skin will go back to its pre-breakout look in no time. The tube may look small, but you only need a dot here and a dot there, so it lasts a really long time.

Looking for a gentle, effective ingrown hair treatment?
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to get rid of ingrown hairs, you’ve come to the right place! A great home ingrown hair treatment to treat ingrown hair is our ingrown hair treatment pads. Our ingrown hair eliminating pads gently exfoliate with salicylic and glycolic acid to prevent ingrown hairs. Our ingrown hair treatment also soothes the skin with oat extract, witch hazel and lavender oil. They’re the best at home ingrown hair treatment because they’re gentle on the skin. The container contains 50 pre-soaked pads (don’t reuse them!) to make ingrown hair treatment a breeze.

Steal vs Splurge

Everyone deserves to have fabulous skin every day, but sometimes the wallet strings are tighter than others. Here’s a few products to get you through the rough patches:

My favorite multitaskers $35 and under:
Naked Body Butter hydrates the skin all day. Naked Body Butter is fragrance-free so I can add my perfume du jour and *poof* you’ve got a scented moisturizer that prolongs the life of your fragrance.

Best of Skintentions-BRAND NEW! Daily moisturizer and SPF in 1 easy step that prevents UVA + UVB damage. $35

Problem Salved the 20-in-1 wonder balm. Grooms eyebrows, prevents chafing and blisters, heals chafing, nourishes cuticles, and more all for $18

If you’re in the mood to splurge-my favorite multi-taskers under $80:
Bliss/Philips Bikini Perfect Deluxe Spa Edition trims, shaves, and epilates all in 1 with 6 different grooming heads. It’s shower-friendly and makes a perfect travel companion. $59.99 (if you get your under arms waxed, the Bikini Perfect pays for itself in 2 months-the epilator is extremely easy to use-I was an epilator novice and mastered the art of under arm hair removal after 2 uses)

The Youth As We Know It Moisturizer-clinical levels of 10 active ingredients that can be used day + night on face, neck, and the under eye area. $79

You can feel fab about investing in our triple oxygen instant energizing mask. Here’s how I always justify this purchase-the mask is $52 ($93 if you buy two). When I use Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask 3x/week the mask lasts me at least 5 months (I use about 6-7 pumps every use). That means it costs $8.60 (just over $2/week if you REALLY want to break it down) for an at-home masks that instantly energizes, detoxifies and brightens my skin.

And, to help you tighten your belt (literally!), we’re giving away a free full-sized Lovehandler with every purchase*

Travel-Friendly Beauty

I am excitedly awaiting a mini-vacation to Las Vegas next week and will only be going for 3 nights, which does not merit checking a bag in my opinion. I have friends who pack a suitcase for an overnight visit, but that’s not my style. Only necessities come with me and my motto is: If I forgot it, then it wasn’t important enough to remember, in which case I don’t need it.

….unless what I forgot is a toothbrush, in which a field trip to the local pharmacy or a call to the front desk is made. Nothing says vacation like dragon breath, right? Wrong!

The hardest part about bringing only a carry-on bag is that you’re limited to that 3-1-1 rule (maximum 3 ounces, 1 quart-sized bag, 1 bag per traveler). How is a beauty fanatic supposed to travel like that!? My contact solution has already been axed from the equation because it’ll take up too much space in my bag. I’ll buy some when I check in to my hotel. Obviously I have my priorities in order :)

If I was going to be staying at a W Hotel, this would not be a problem because I would have some fantastic hotel amenities to look forward to, like some Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash, a two-in-one gel cleanser and exfoliator; Soapy Sap to get sudsy in the tub with; and, of course, our world famous Lemon + Sage Body Butter.

The set also includes our Lemon + Sage Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as an adorable baby-sized version of the lemon and sage soap slab.

If you’re afraid of committing to full-sized items, this is the perfect intro to Blisss skin care + body care with generous try-me sizes of our top-selling products. They look tiny, but a little bit goes a long way!

Happy + Safe Travels!
