GET YOUR SKIN GLOW ON

Day Spa New Orleans: Glowing Skin Tips For Beautiful Skin

Day Spa New Orleans professionals give you tips to help your skin glow like never before. Louisiana winters might be less cold and dry than winters across the rest of the country, but they still seem to leave our skin zapped of moisture, resilience, and that indefinable glow factor we’re always chasing. To remedy the situation, we got the scoop from the Paris Parker spa team on what you can do to return your skin to its most radiant—no matter how nasty the weather is during Mardi Gras. Follow along with Paris Parker.

EMBRACE EXFOLIATION

Exfoliating regularly is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure dewy, healthy skin. Not only does it sweep away dead, dull skin cells—it actually helps enhance the efficacy of your other products, which are better able to penetrate the epidermis and get to work. Chemical exfoliants can sometimes be too harsh (especially on sensitive skin), so we recommend starting with a gentle physical exfoliant. We’re loving the Ayurveda-inspired Tulasara Radiant Facial Dry Brush, whose ultra-soft nylon bristles gently remove dead skin, stimulate blood flow and help with lymphatic drainage.

GET YOUR HEART RATE UP

It’s no secret that exercise is good for your heart, lungs, and mind. But did you know it can also help lead to luminous skin? Regular workouts can enhance your circulation, which speeds up the delivery of oxygen and all-important nutrients to your skin. It also helps flush out free radicals and other waste products and has been shown to amp up the production of collagen. Meet us for yoga?

CHECK YOUR INGREDIENTS

When choosing new skincare products, look for ingredients that are selected specifically for their brightening powers. The stars of our current glow-inducing regimen: Tulasara Bright Concentrate and Tulasara Wedding Masque Overnight. The concentrate contains licorice root extract, an ayurvedic ingredient that can help reduce discoloration, and glucosamine, which promotes cell turnover, removes dull surface cells and hydrates to increase overall radiance. The masque, meanwhile, is designed to work during the night (a key time for skin’s natural repair processes) to smooth and firm skin. You’ll wake up looking positively radiant thanks in no small part to curcuminoids, a turmeric root extract that helps brighten skin and promote even skin tone.

P.S. Use with Tulasara Wedding Masque Eye Overnight—in addition to its brightening ingredients, it contains plant-derived caffeine to reduce puffiness. It’s the next best thing to a solid eight hours of sleep.

COMMIT TO SPF

It’s oh so tempting to soak up some rays—and bask in the golden glow that follows.
However, this flash of color is not without cost. In the short term, it can dry out your skin, leading to flaking and redness, and in the long term, it’s damaging, accelerates aging, and worst of all, can lead to cancer. So not worth it. With that in mind, make sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. We love Aveda’s Daily Light Guard for its lightweight, non-greasy formula and mineral-based sun protectants.

BOOK A FACIAL

Think of your skin like your teeth: no matter how strong and consistent your daily routine is, you still wouldn’t skip your periodic professional cleaning. Estheticians have access to tools and products that can cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate more intensely and efficiently that their daily-use counterparts. Plus, after spending some quality time with your skin, your esthetician will be able to help you customize a skincare regimen suited to address your unique needs—and prolong your post-facial glow.

HYDRATE

You knew it was coming. Because water cleanses the body and eliminates toxins and waste, it’s crucial for all your major organs—and your skin is the largest organ of all. Dehydrated skin tends to be tight and flaky, and it’s less resilient and wrinkles more easily. Keep the H2O coming all day every day, and if necessary, increase your topical hydration. In addition to your daily moisturizer, try Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Treatment Lotion. Its liquid formula contains nutrient-rich algae to instantly boost moisture and prepare your skin to sip in serums and moisturizers.
