Celebrating Galentine’s Day and tips to up your self care! 

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching but we can’t forget about Galentine’s Day! So many of us have a core group of strong, supportive, caring, and overall great women that we surround ourselves with. So what do we do with all the love that we have for these ladies in our lives? Celebrate Galentine’s Day! It is traditionally celebrated on February 13th and what is better than carving out a day to shower each other with time, that you don’t usually have, to rendezvous and pamper yourselves?

Can’t think of what to do? 

What better way to celebrate than pampering yourselves with some skin care? Our friends at Kiss and MakeUp CT are not only hair and make up artists, they also have a fantastic spa room that you can bring your gals to! Skin care is what helps us all have a beautiful canvas for our every day or special occasion makeup with the added bonus of the “treat yourself” factor built in. 

There are plenty of options for every skin type and every skin goal. 

Are your ladies working every day and rocking the business world like the powerful women you know they are? Are they moms that run around after little ones and never have time to take care of their superhero selves? That’s ok! For Galentine’s Day if you can all carve out at least two hours to be with each other and treat yourselves you can choose anything from the Balancing Signature Facial to a more advanced Radiance Facial. 

The Balancing Signature Facial follows Kiss and MakeUp CT’s philosophy by using a balance of certified organic ingredients, highly potent antioxidants and essential botanicals. This includes a skin analysis, cleansing, treatment mask, and a therapeutic neck, shoulder, and hand massage among other treatment steps. 

The Radiance Facial is a true “treat yourself” service going above and beyond to make your skin the best version of itself. This facial gently exfoliates and polishes the top layer of skin, using a diamond tip Microdermabrasion, to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate skin.

They also have Express, Anti-Acne, and Anti-Aging treatments as well as body treatments like back facials.

 

Why is it important to go get a facial instead of going with your lady loves and grabbing a bottle of wine and some drug store face masks? 

All facial services at Kiss and MakeUp CT’s spa room are provided by a certified esthetician. An esthetician is someone that, in most states, has to go through 600 to 1,000 hours of training to become familiar with all skin types, contraindications, and techniques to give you the best experience possible for your skin care.

And not that you should avoid the wine with the gals but for the best skin care results, you should try to hydrate as much as possible. It’s said that at least 8 glasses of water or 2L of water a day can drastically reduce your chances of breakouts. Not only do we want to hydrate from the inside, but we also want to keep water ON our skin. At Kiss and MakeUp, they can help you find the proper hydrating treatment for you!

So this Galentine’s Day, grab your gals, grab your water bottles, and hit the spa for some well deserved “me” time and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

 

Don’t forget that Galentine’s Day isn’t the only time that you should pamper your skin. Find all services that Kiss and MakeUp CT offers at their website!
