New Trend: Women Shaving Their Faces To Treat Wrinkles

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 15:07:00 -0700

My hairdresser said she’s been doing this for years, but I’m too afraid to try it: she shaves her face to prevent wrinkles! I asked her if she’s worried about her hair growing back thicker, and she said if that were true, bald men everywhere would be shaving their heads like crazy. That made sense, but still – I’m afraid to try it! Read one brave beauty editor’s tale from NY Magazine’s The Cut to get the real scoop on this whole, ladies shaving their faces situation. You might just be convinced to give it a stab – er, shave!

One of the best benefits of facial shaving is that topical beauty products can absorb (and therefore WORK!) more efficiently. For the body, Kona Tanning has an exfoliating body mitt that does just that. Originally designed for airbrush spray tan preparation, the Kona Tanning Exfoliating Body Mitt is composed of 100% raw Turkish floss silk to work in harmony with your body, opening pores, and removing dead skin cells, toxins, and impurities. The result is brighter, fresher, more youthful-looking skin!

HowToBeARedhead.com Reviews The Kona Tanning Gradual Tanner

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 15:08:00 -0700

Kona Tanning Company, Gradual Tanner: This product is wonderful because the founder is a redhead who developed it because she couldn’t find sunless tanners that matched her ivory skin; therefore, all redheads are guaranteed to love it! It smells incredible, its texture is smooth and it works into the skin beautifully. For the ultimate tan, apply in the morning and at night- you’ll notice your skin getting tanner as the days progress.

Enjoy the last weeks of summer and Rock it like a Redhead!

Tie The Perfect Sarong - The Perfect After Tanning Wear

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 10:25:00 -0700

Black sarongs go with everything! Wrap yourself in fringed, lightweight, top quality, silky smooth rayon. Measures approximately 66" x 44" inches. Sarongs make the best cover-ups, since they can go from skirt to dress to shawl - talk about being versatile! Sarongs are also highly recommended as an after-tanning treatment wrap, due to their lack of seams, which can interrupt a spray tan's development.

How To Sleep In Your Spray Tan

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:04:00 -0700

Have you ever slept in a fresh spray tan, and ended up with one of your hands being much darker than the other? Here's why: We all perspire while we sleep, and if you go to bed with a fresh spray tan, whatever skin on skin contact you have will cause a transfer of tanning solution. For example, if you always sleep with your hand between your knees, and you go to bed after getting a spray tan wearing shorts, chances are you'll probably end up with that hand between your knees at some point during the night. When you perspire, tanning solution will transfer from your knees to either side of your hand, and cause unintentional staining that is very difficult to remove. We like to use Windex and a warm, wet wash cloth to exfoliate away the unintentional staining.

The Kona Tanning House Blend is a water soluble product, and washes out of most fabrics. However, the tanning solution could stain Silk, Nylon, Wool and Polyester. Since there is a bronzer in the spray, it is best not to wear your favorite expensive clothing until after your tan has developed, and the bronzer has been completely rinsed off. If you are sleeping with the bronzer on your skin and allowing your tan to develop while you sleep, it is best to wear loose pajamas, and lay a towel over your pillow to prevent any bronzer transfer due to perspiration while you sleep. Try to avoid any skin on skin contact while you sleep – even with others! After you have rinsed the bronzer away, there will not be any rub-off or transfer of the tan.

Kona Katie Interviewed By SHAPE Magazine - How To Apply The Best Tan At Home

noreply@blogger.com (Kona Katie) — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:02:00 -0700

Self-Tanner Application Tips You Won’t Find on the Bottle

The insider secrets to bronzed skin that’s free of streaks, splotches, and sunburn

By Krista Bennett DeMaio

Read the original post

Big thank you to SHAPE Magazine for interviewing Kona Katie on insider secrets to bronzed skin! Here are the article's highlights:

“You never want to apply self-tanner in an up and down manner—there are no straight lines on your body,” says Katie Quinn of Kona Tanning Company and lead body makeup artist at the 2012 Victoria’s Secret fashion show. “Follow the curves of your muscles.”

Think Minimal On Your Mug

“Less is always more when it comes your face,” Quinn says. Start with just a pearl-sized amount of tanner and blend it all over your face and up into your hairline (or as close as possible—blonde, color-treated hair can absorb the self-tanner and turn color). If the shade isn’t deep enough for you, repeat this for two to three days, Quinn adds. Self-tanner will only make any dark spots look more prominent, so before you apply, dab any marks with a clear, wax-based lip liner to block absorption. Quinn likes e.l.f. Studio Lip Lock Pencil ($3; eyeslipsface.com)."

Fix Faux Flaws

"Even the most meticulous applicator may find herself with a streak or two. Don’t freak out." "Use Quinn’s trick: “I’ve found that Windex will remove self-tanner within one to two hours of application.” Soak a cotton ball in the solution and squeeze out the excess. Then swipe it back and forth over the streak using a very light touch. If you take off too much color, simply reapply more self-tanner, using circular motions and blending the borders of the area being touched up, Quinn says."

More of Kona Katie's tips on applying the perfect sunless tan at home.
