We love a bright red lip, a luminous highlight, and a stiletto nail just as much as the next fancy femme, so we’re super excited for all of 2018s projected beauty, skincare, haircare, and nail art trends! 2017 was a great year for shimmery skin, pop-art nails, and natural hairstyles — all of which we adore and if 2018’s trends are anything like this year’s were, we’re in for some fun new additions to our beauty routines.

Tailor-Made Shades

With Fenty Beauty’s launch this year, a huge niche in the beauty market had finally been filled — foundation in shades that could be matched to any skin tone from midnight to milk, highlighters for intercontinental skin tones, and an ethos that put diversity first. Expect many companies to follow suit.

Genderless Products

Makeup is for everyone who wants to feel fancy, femme, and fabulous! Brands have been shaking up marketing campaigns by making them inclusive, rather than highly exclusive as they have been branded historically. This gender-free frontier means even more unbelievably amazing YouTube makeup tutorials, which we wholeheartedly endorse!

Real Skin Celebration

Super lightweight foundations and a general shift away from contouring and into bold celebrations of natural features is a coming trend we appreciate, but not any more than we appreciate full faces of makeup.

Regardless of 2018’s style predictions, the only trend that ever really matters is wearing whatever makes you feel happiest and most comfortable in your own skin!

Laser Smooth is Gresham’s laser hair removal authority. Visit our Services page to learn how we can help you feel happier and more comfortable in your own skin.

Keeping your winter skin supple and moisturized in winter months is a challenge, and while many of us are focused on our hands and faces, we neglect our scalps. Dry winter weather can be just as damaging to your scalp, and by proxy, the health of your hair. Try these three phenomenal products that can help keep your scalp ultra-moisturized and your hair extra vital this cold season:

Kiehl’s Deep Micro-Exfoliating Scalp Treatment

Just like the rest of your body needs an exfoliating treatment every now and again, so does your scalp. Kiehl’s scalp exfoliator can help quell flakiness, refresh follicles and leave your scalp soothed and rejuvenated.

Desert Essence 100% Pure Jojoba Oil

Those who struggle with dry winter locks may find a soothing hair panacea in this 100% jojoba oil. This oil will not only sooth and replenish your scalp, it contains anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties. Plus, it will make your hair gleam.

T-Gel Therapeutic Shampoo

When dry scalp issues become severe, it may be time to enlist a therapeutic shampoo. T-Gel can help combat an itchy flaky scalp and return your skin to its vibrant, hydrated self.

In gift giving cultures, there are all manners of customs surrounding the giving of gifts — birthday parties, lavish holiday celebrations, innumerable made-up holidays (we’re looking at you, Grandparent’s Day), but regardless of your culture, there is, undeniably, a subtle art to gift giving. This season, practice your gifting etiquette with a gift certificate to Laser Smooth Company.

This is no average gift certificate and it certainly isn’t meant for just anyone on your gift list. The gift of laser hair removal has the capacity to change someone’s life, but you must be certain that your recipient has shown deliberate and consistent interest in laser hair removal technology. Do not assume that a bit of facial hair requires removal unless you have absolute, unwavering certainty that this person has a legitimate want for laser hair removal.

If a friend or loved one on your gifting list has shown particular interest in hair removal, has expressed displeasure in their appearance as a result of this unwanted hair, or has lamented the never-ending cost and discomfort of shaving or waxing, consider Laser Smooth. Laser Smooth can help your friends and loved ones permanently remove any unwanted hair in only a few sessions.

Make this year your best gifting year yet by changing someone’s life. Contact Laser Smooth Company today to get your laser hair removal gift certificates.

The lack of consistent sunlight, the chilly temps, and the endless rain are all ingredients for a drop in mood. Making self-care a priority in these cold winter months is a priority, but often, it can feel arduous. Try these luxurious skin care treatments as acts of self-care to perk yourself up when the grey skies got you down.

Humidify

Use a small humidifier to keep your skin moist, as winter months can be exceedingly dry, affecting your skin and, by extension, your mood. Add a drop of aroma-therapeutic oil like lemon balm, lavender or eucalyptus to your humidifier for an extra rejuvenating kick.

Hydrate Overnight

Daily moisturizing is a necessity, but overnight hydration will you do your skin worlds of good. Find an overnight moisturizer you love and slather your skin with it each night. Wake up supple, refreshed and ready to face another chilly day.

Use a DIY Mask

Make a spa day in your own boudoir. Create a mask from everyday pantry items to rival those sold in fancy department stores and skin care shops. Masks like banana and honey, or oatmeal and yogurt can revitalize your skin and give you the pleasant feeling of not just accomplishment but of economic creativity.

During the holiday season, physical fitness can sometimes take a backseat to family celebrations (often involving large quantities of rich foods). Finding balance between joyful indulgence and healthy activity during the holiday season can be difficult, but consider these three quick, easy exercises you can do between white elephant office parties and family feasts.

Utkatasana

Commonly referred to as the chair pose, this yoga asana engages your core and stimulates your heart, elevating your blood flow and supplying a rush of nutrients to your skin. To do this pose, start with bent knees, hip-width apart. Keeping your hips back, push your chest forward and stretch your hands above your head, keeping your arms in line with your ears.

Lunges/Push-ups

Use your spare moments to burst into a quick set of 5 lunges followed by 5 pushups (feel free to increase that number if you’re so inclined). Repeat at will, but limit this exercise to every other day. These sets will increase your heart rate, and promote circulation, leaving you with glowing, luminous skin.

Office Chair Jumping Jacks

This exercise is precisely what the name implies. A short rep of 15 – 20 seated jumping jacks will give you a mild cardio workout without your leaving your desk.

Self-tanners can be your best friend in the long, dim, Pacific Northwest winter. If maintaining your luminous summer skin is vital, employing a quality self-tanner will help you on the way to a year-round glow. Consider these three department store self-tanners that, while a bit strenuous on the wallet, will leave you with a natural glow, rather than an orange tint.

St. Tropez Luxe Dry Oil

A favorite of beauty bloggers, St Tropez offers consistent color and luxurious application. The dry oil is unique in that it blends easily, dries quickly and smells positively delicious.

Clinique Self Sun

Clinique’s offering is a moderately affordable tanning cream with a subtle sparkle and fabulous fragrance. This tanner provides medium-dark results, best for those with warm beige or olive complexions looking to recapture their deeper summer color.

Dior Bronze Self-Tanning Creme

For the dedicated department store shopper, Dior can do very little wrong. This opulent tanning cream provides a subtle glow, perfect for fairer-skinned sun worshipers for whom long hours of sunbathing is a critical health hazard. It’s fast drying, easy to apply and smells divine.

After using these or any self-tanner, moisturize diligently to retain the effects. Learn about Laser Smooth Company’s Services and Specials.
