Summer TAN

Published on May 25, 2016 by MerlezgirlzLeave a comment

Hello everyone! Since summer is on its way we are going to talk about something most people going to events and vacations or just wearing shorts are worried about… being TAN… here at Merle Norman we have a safe way of becoming tan for the summer. Our self-tanner comes in foam form so no worries about having spray spots or missing areas. The color develops in 2-3 hours. To maintain your color you want to apply every few days or just once for that special event! The tanner also has aromaguard technology that neutralizes the odor so you don’t smell like typical self-tanner. The self-tanning bronzing foam is dermatologist tested, oil-free, non-sticky, non-greasy, super-fast and streak-free!!!

Before you apply your self-tanning bronzer you want to make sure you exfoliate your skin before application. Our pink grapefruit sugar scrub will help you to exfoliate so your bronzer develops more evenly. It was featured in self magazine in 2014 as an award winner! It has a perfect summery citrus scent for everyday wear and comes in a body butter form as well. The sugar scrub is packed with real sugar granules that lathers into a foam scrub to get rid of dead skin.

Come in to the store to try any of the pink grapefruit line or test the self-tanning bronzer!

Summer Sun

As the warmer weather approaches so does the desire to spend more time outside.

Just a few reminders for some sun safety. Always choose a sunscreen at least an SPF of 30 .Our Ultra Light Sunscreen is a SPF 50. The other thing your sunscreen should be labeled as a broad spectrum. This will give you a complete coverage. Sunscreen should be put on 15 minutes prior to going outside and reapplied every 2 hours more if you are in water or sweating.

Relying on your foundation or foundation primer to give you all the coverage you need for the day is not enough. If you are going to be spending time outside please use a sunscreen in addition to the foundation primer plus and one of our broad spectrum foundations.

Wear a hat to cover your face and long sleeves and pants to cover the rest of your skin. Avoid going out for prolonged periods of time between 10 am and 2 pm.

To make sure you are ready for the summer sun be sure to stop in the studio for a personal consultation so we can help you make sure you are covered.

Hi Everyone. Hope everyone is beginning to enjoy the weather. Speaking of weather, most people try to get a new look for every season. This summer Merle Norman came out with some GREAT choices… my favorite eye liner that came out this season is ocean blue eyeliner.. I know what you might think if you have brown eyes sometimes blue eyeliner just doesn’t work but, if you apply black liner first with the blue above it. It looks great and the blue is just the prettiest shade of blue. Don’t take my word for it though come into the store and try it out for yourself! Below I will post some videos and pictures of the summer collection. I hope you enjoy them like all of us at the studio are! Call for an appointment or stop by the store to check them out yourself!!

Hi everyone! So to start the blog I am going to be doing a mini series for you to get you ready for summer. At Merle Norman we carry several products to get you through your summer needs. Many of the products are great to throw into your beach bag, a day out on the town, or a pool party. You might be asking well why are your products so great? Well I am here to answer that question for you in this mini series!

To start off I put together a little sample of ideas to put into your beach bag kit.

What’s in it? Facial wipes to get a clean feeling after the day outside or at the beach. Self-tanning bronzing foam to keep a summer glow all summer long. CC cream to give you a little coverage with bonus 30 SPF! Merle Norman Sun Tan lotion SPF 50. Lip conditioner with a SPF 15 and a lip polish for a little color. Waterproof mascara is always a must when you’re going to be swimming or sweating to keep your mascara from smearing. A liquid shimmer to highlight and sparkle in the sun and a pink grapefruit moisturizer to keep smelling fresh all day long!

Over the next month I will be telling you more about these great products, tips, and why they are so important and different makeup looks you can pull off for the summer. Hope you enjoy and follow along!
