 We’re finally starting to feel a little chill in the air, and with fall weather comes fall beauty struggles. At Gaminator Beauty Bar, we are always on the look out for great skincare advice so here are some tips on how to treat dull looking skin and fight acne (yes- some of us are still dealing with this).
Blue Light Therapy You may wear blue light blocking glasses when staring at the computer, but did you know that blue light can also help fight off acne? Blue light therapy can help prevent breakouts, clear up blemishes, fight acne-causing bacteria, and even treat sun damage. But keep in mind that light therapy doesn’t work for everyone, and it could take several sessions to find out if your acne is sensitive to blue light. If it is, you might still need to use other acne treatments like prescription creams. But for others, the treatment can light the way to clearer skin. You can find various LED masks or devices to use at home at your local beauty department or drugstore. Brightening Cream By now you should have already put your light-weight moisturizer away (or in the garbage) and switched to a brightening and hydrating rich cream. To help you achieve an even and healthy-looking complexion all year round, brightening creams can deeply hydrate and transform dull skin, correcting dark spots and hyper-pigmentation, to leave it with a radiant, even-toned and youthful appearance. Probiotic Skin Lotion https://www.allure.com/gallery/probiotics-skin-care-products You might already be taking a daily probiotic to support your overall immune system and gut health. But now you can also apply it directly to your skin as part of your beauty routine with probiotic skin-care formulas. Everything from gel moisturizers, serums, bar soaps, body lotions, face masks and more. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

 Hey, we’ve made it to autumn 2021. And while you deserve to wear whatever color lipstick you want anytime of the year, there’s no denying that fall has some of the best makeup and beauty trends of the year. So let’s talk about some of our faves.
Oxblood Go straight for a moody oxblood that will certainly wow. This is a high-pigment color so we recommend keeping the rest of your makeup minimal. Classic Red Spice things up in red shade. Go for a shimmery shade with a water-resistant formula for a daring and lasting look. Glittery Finish Glitter is in. Add a neutral pop to your look with a shimmery shade that instantly illuminates. Orange Hue And it’s not just because Halloween is approaching. Get yourself a nourishing lip stain to keep your lips hydrated while pumpkin picking or wine tasting with your girlfriends. Berry & Matte Avoid smudged lips with a long-lasting matte formula - especially when wearing dark berries, reds, and dark brown. Sheer Black Cherry A sheer formula can still make a statement. With the shine of a gorgeous gloss and the hydration of a balm, a vitamin-rich lippy leaves lips extra lush. Matte Liquid Textures Not sure how deep you want your pigmented shade to be? Opt for a buildable, waterproof lipstick to allow you to go as light or as deep as you want. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

The natural ingredient is an antioxidant with the ability to brighten skin, neutralise free radicals and fade pigmentation. So it’s no surprise beauty scientists thought it could benefit us by incorporating vitamin C serums, creams or targeted treatments into our daily routines.
Who should try vitamin C? Almost anyone can use vitamin C as skincare. However, those with sensitive skin and fragile skin barriers should be careful because of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, rosacea and dry skin, as these can be potentially problematic. If you’re unsure, we recommend you try a patch test first. Most topical treatments can be very acidic and cause flare-ups of acne and eczema. Choosing the right product Vitamin C isn’t the easiest ingredient for the skin to absorb. It’s water-soluble and therefore repelled by our waterproof skin barrier. When shopping for a vitamin c product you’ll see that many brands have found ways to side-step the vitamin’s stability and absorption issues using innovative formulations and advanced packaging. That’s why sometimes you’ll see a vitamin c moisturizer range between $65 - $166. Our conditioning body wash contains a mix of essential oils and vitamins - including vitamin C - and for only $22. Look for products in airtight, opaque packaging and containing ascorbic acid (often referred to as L-ascorbic acid), which is the term for the chemically active form of vitamin C.

But hear us out - facial oils have tons of benefits. When integrated correctly.
Facial oils are tailored to work with your natural skin oils. Our skin naturally produces oils and lipids, which help prevent water loss and keeps our skin hydrated. The right face oil can help keep your skin balanced and add an extra level of protection and keep you acne free. Yes, you read that right. Keep your skin balanced and acne free It seems counterintuitive to put oil on your face when most of us don’t want to look oily – especially if we already happen to have oily, acne-prone, or combination skin. However, facial oils can actually help to balance excess sebum in oily skin types and can be gentle on sensitive skin. Reduce wrinkles Facial oils can help reduce your wrinkles because they contain essential ingredients like antioxidants and pass through the skin quickly, preventing water loss while keeping skin plump. Antioxidants also boost collagen production and strengthen skin elasticity – another anti-aging perk! Get a natural-looking glow Your skin may also look dull if your body is dehydrated during the fall and winter months, or if you haven’t had enough sleep. No matter the cause of dull skin, facial oil can help restore moisture and encourage glowing skin. Remove makeup and dirt better than with a cleanser or facial wipe Instead of using a facial cleanser to remove your makeup, first try applying a gentle facial oil with a cotton ball or your hands across your face. Then, with a clean, warm washcloth gently wipe the oil and makeup off your face. Finish by washing your face with your cleanser and pat dry. You can then apply a natural oil on your skin before bed to allow ample time for your skin to soak them up overnight - leading to reduced lines and wrinkles, increased firmness and elasticity, and brighter and even-tone skin.

We can all learn a few things on TikTok, including some new hair and makeup tips. Who knew?! We compiled a list of some tutorials worth trying.
10-second contour According to the video, all you need is a stick bronzer and your foundation. You simply contour over the lips, under the cheekbones and chin, and on the forehead. Then you add your foundation on the rest of the face and blend in. See for yourself on TikTok here. DIY BB Cream Creators are mixing creams they already own to create a custom shade of BB cream (beauty balm) which is meant to be a lightweight base. For this DIY to work, you have to make sure your foundation and primer have the same base ingredients otherwise the product will roll right off your face. Easy high ponytail for long hair If you’re looking for a voluminous and easy hairstyle, this is for you. It’s done by twisting the hair tie around the bottom part of the ponytail twice. First you make a regular high ponytail, but on the last twist, grab half of your hair and pull it through. Then tie it in the back and front. If these TikTok beauty tutorials won’t cut it, remember that we offer full hair and makeup services in our Glaminator Beauty Bar.

While we all have different issues (adult acne, dry skin, rosacea, etc.) there are a few tips most of us can follow for a healthy daily skincare regimen. Hint: It all starts and ends with cleansing.
Daily cleansing Cleanse your face twice a day— gently. Cleansing when you wake up and before you go to bed helps remove oil and dirt that can irritate your skin. Choose a mild, soap-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Be sure to pat dry with a clean cotton towel. Moisturizing and sun protection Moisturizing is key for healthy skin. The best time to moisturize is after a shower and you have pat dried your skin. Consider using a moisturizer with built-in sun protection/SPF 30 or higher year round. And now that we’re officially approaching fall, it’s time to say goodbye to the lightweight, oil-free moisturizer and switch to a heavier cream. Staying away from irritants If you have sensitive skin or suffer from rosacea, avoid anything that contains alcohol, camphor, fragrance, glycolic acid, lactic acid, menthol, sodium laurel sulfate and urea. Consider finding products or makeup that doesn’t irritate your skin. You might need to make an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss your specific needs. If you’re getting your makeup done at Glaminiator Beauty Bar for a special occasion and have questions about the products we use with our services, give us a call.

Fall has arrived. And with the cooler weather comes a drop in humidity, which makes for dry skin. To help you prepare for the new season, we compiled some tips on how to transition your skincare routine from summer to fall.
Switch to a thicker moisturizer Adding an extra layer of hydration to your routine is a great way to prevent skin dehydration. Now is the time to say goodbye to the lightweight moisturizer and switch to a heavier cream. When the skin lacks hydration, you get dryness and irritation - and sometimes eczema. If you’re worried about a product reaction or breaking out, we recommend patch-testing for a few days. But if you avoid the ingredients you’re sensitive to, you might be able to find a heavier cream your skin can tolerate. Avoid hot showers Hot showers damage the skin barrier. Instead, take tepid showers and apply moisturizer on damp skin afterward. This will help seal and replenish the moisture your skin needs. Try gentle exfoliation A non-abrasive gentle exfoliator can be key to getting rid of dead dry winter skin. If overdone, it can cause more hydration loss and inflammation, so try to go easy on the acids and retinols. Our Sugar Scrub formula, made of raw cane sugar, emu oil, and coconut oil, will gently exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. It’s a lightweight and whipped scrub that penetrates deeply to leave your skin smooth, hydrated and clean, and its subtle hint of therapeutic lavender essential oil will absolutely seduce your senses.

Those are classic autumn hues that will never go out of style, but we have our eyes on a few new trends this fall.
Electric eyes The timeless smokey eye isn’t going anywhere, but neons aren’t either. Expect to see shades of fuschia and electric blue on eyelids this season. Sounds a bit much? It might actually be a fun way to add a pop of color to our fall wardrobe which often consists of browns and black. Black eyeliner The 90s are back and if a winged eyeliner isn’t for you, consider a grungy— yet sophisticated look. Smudge a black pencil eyeliner formula on your top and bottom lines, and finish off the look with neutral lipstick and subtle contouring. Soap brows The brushed-up brow look is here to stay (for now anyway). If you want to perfect this brow trend, consider setting up a lamination appointment for a lasting effect. Brow lamination is basically a perm for your brows as it gives them a set, uniform shape for an extended period of time. Instead of curls, a setting lotion helps brow hair stay brushed up and lifted upward for about six weeks. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

From Zendaya to Kourtney Kardashian and of course Lily Collins, they’re all known for rocking bushy and shiny brows. There are several ways to accomplish this trend including the popular lamination - which we offer at our Glamination Beauty Bar. One question we get often from our clients is, what exactly is brow lamination? Well, let us break it down for you.
Brow lamination is basically a perm for your brows as it gives them a set, uniform shape for an extended period of time. Instead of curls, a setting lotion helps brow hair stay brushed up and lifted upward for about six weeks. The actual process starts off by painting a lifting cream onto the brow, which creates a chemical process that breaks down bonds in each hair, allowing them to be moved into a new shape. Next, the brow hairs are brushed up into place and a neutralizer is applied to reform the bonds into their new shape. Then a nourishing oil is added to the brows to replenish their moisture after the chemical treatment process. From there, the brows may be tweezed, waxed, or tinted, depending on the look you're going for. You can expect your laminated brows to last up to 6 weeks. If you’re not quite ready for lamination, perhaps consider Brow Henna. It’s a service that acts like a blanket over the hair and provides a coating to the hair shaft, coating the top layers of the hair cuticle only- giving the appearance of a thicker, softer and smoother hair and eyebrow. Containing hydrolyzed proteins, vitamin complex and antioxidants, Brow Henna helps to strengthen and restore hair growth and improves the natural condition of the eyebrow hair – it’s perfect for people who have over plucked eyebrows or are still recovering from a bad waxing experience. We love that it’s vegan and cruelty free, and it stays on the hair up to 6 weeks, and up to 14 days on the skin. Have any questions or hesitations about the process? Give us a call! We’re more than happy to walk you through it. Check out our Instagram feed too for some major inspo!  According to our social media feed, it looks like everyone we know is getting married or is attending a wedding right now! And that’s because the wedding season is officially here. Whether you’re the bride or bridesmaid this summer, our bridal salon has you covered with the top notch wedding makeup and hair you’ll need for those IG pics and TikTok videos.
Perhaps after a year in quarantine due to the pandemic, many brides are opting out of traditional bridal glam. Some of the trends we’re noticing this summer include shimmery eyes and nude lips and lots of soft pink tones! However, bold lips are also in style. When it comes to hair, we’re seeing textured, loose styles as well as some glamorous party ponytails. If you have a wedding coming up now or in the fall, here’s a quick glance at some of our makeup and hair offerings.
