Get a Sun-Kissed Glow Just in Time for Las Vegas Pool Season!

Pool season is officially open once again in Las Vegas. This is the perfect time to get a base tan started for the summer. Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa offers organic airbrush tanning that provides a great, natural-looking tan without the use of any harsh chemicals. In celebration of the opening of pool season, our Las Vegas day spa is giving all new clients a $15 discount off an organic spray tan, which is a true bargain!

Our organic spray tans have many benefits. One benefit is that it is hydrating because our organic color formulas are loaded with aloe vera and essential oils that are also anti oxidant and anti aging.  Another benefit of receiving an airbrush tan from us is that we customize our organic formulas to suit your needs.  Lastly, by doing a custom organic airbrush tan you won’t have to spend hours on end in the sun or a tanning bed, exposing yourself to harmful UV rays which cause premature aging and skin cancer. This service is extremely popular amongst our clients that are concerned and cautious about their health. Organic spray tans have become increasingly popular due to their natural look and healthy glow.  Las Vegas locals claim that our custom organic airbrush tanning services are the best in town!

Helps Hide Skin Imperfections 

When you have an organic spray tan, wrinkles, dryness, rashes and other skin problems you may have are diminished. This is because organic spray tanning binds the natural moisture in the skin wherein it helps repair skin cells that have been damaged. Our organic spray tanning contains 100% organic, natural ingredients, which means we use no artificial colors, parabens or perfumes. 

An organic spray tan creates a very natural looking and long-lasting suntan that fades evenly.  This service also helps hide cellulite and skin blemishes to provide you with a smooth, evenly tanned body. If you'd like to enjoy all the benefits of sunless tanning without harming your skin, organic spray tanning is definitely the way to go!

Natural Sun-Kissed Skin

Many traditional spray tans and at-home tanning products turn the skin a very unnatural orange color. This is something you don't have to concern yourself with when you tan using our organic spray tanning. This is because there are no artificial stains or dyes used but rather only natural, organic compounds that produce color in the top layer of your skin. You will obtain a natural appearing, sun-kissed color that you'll be proud to sport while out and about wearing your favorite summer clothing in Las Vegas.

Your skin will not be left with streaks like it would with other tanning methods as the airbrush we use eliminates streaking as well as dark areas on knees and elbows. Plus, it will take just one application to give your skin that summer glow you yearn for, so contact our Las Vegas spa today at 702-816-5996 to set up your appointment time!

Always Wear Protection – Sun Protection!

April showers bring May flowers and along with it extra sunshine from daylight savings. This means

days with longer sun exposure.  The average person has 20 minutes of natural sun protection made from oil that is naturally secreted from their pores.  Those twenty minutes of natural sun defense can be quickly exhausted just walking to and from our cars, checking the mail box, going in and out of work or a super market.  After that initial 20 minutes of protection is exhausted, damage to the skin cells ensues. The majority of damage occurs when we are driving to and from work and errands because the front windshield acts like a magnifying glass tripling the sun’s intensity and damaging rays. This is why Estheticians at Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa recommend using sunscreen year round regardless of weather conditions. By wearing daily sunscreen you create an extra shield so that while outside, but especially while driving, you can deflect and reduce your exposure and the effects of premature aging, sun spots, and sun damage caused by over exposure to the sun.  Acne clients need to wear sun protection too because over exposure to the sun can make acne scars more permanent.

The #1 way to slow down aging and prevent skin cancer is by wearing sunscreen daily. Also, sunscreen can help protect sun spots and acne scars from becoming darker and more prevalent. It is important to note that individuals with fair skin types are more vulnerable to premature aging AND skin cancer. According to a report on NBC’s Today Show, a Board Certified Dermatologist reported that if an individual has had 3 childhood sunburns they are guaranteed to get skin cancer. That alarming statistic is critical enough to urge readers to protect daily.

Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa carries a wide range of sunscreens.  From hydrating and anti-aging sunscreens, to the only oil control SPF on the market!  Owner, Aminah’s favorite sun defense is Eminence Organic Skincare’s Sun Defense minerals.  This is a mineral sunscreen that is tinted with freeze dried fruit so it A) deflects heat so you sweat less and break out less, B) acts like a make-up and C) has a biocomplex of vitamin A, C, E, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Coenzyme Q-10.  This means it is anti-aging, calming, healing, and anti-inflammatory, helping a variety of conditions such as acne and aging skin.

Tips on Choosing the Right Sun Protection

1) Avoid over the counter (grocery store or drug store) brands because they are made with oil which can clog pores and have little to no nutrients for the skin.  Stick with Organic as Organic sunscreens have a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals derived from organic sources and therefore are healing, nourishing, as well as protective.

2) If outdoors reapply every 2 hours making sure to pat dry 1st (the sweat or water) so that the sun protection blocks appropriately.  Wet or sweaty skin will dilute the sun protection and not properly block and protect the skin increasing your chance for burning and damaging skin.

3) For Men & children – apply sun protection to face, neck, ears, behind the ears, and back of the neck as these delicate areas need protection too and often burn or damage more quickly.

4) For Women – apply sun protection to face, neck and chest as these areas are often exposed and damage over time.  Protecting all three areas will allow women to age more gracefully and evenly.

5) Don’t forget the body.  Using a quality, organic body sunscreen on hands and arms will help deter sun spots and pre-mature wrinkling as those areas are exposed to the sun’s damaging rays daily especially while we drive.

So remember, rain or shine always wear sun protection. Damage starts from birth on so from 6 months of age to end of life apply sunscreen to face and other appropriate areas. The skin you take care of now is the skin you will wear when you are older. Developing daily habits now of protecting your skin from the sun will slow future aging and potentially prevent skin cancer. Preventative care is what Aminah’s Organic Skin Spa teaches to their clients.

Love Thyself...

Aminah's Organic Skin Spa believes that when you love and nurture yourself 1^st, you have energy and love to help others.  That is why this month we are offering Valentine's specials that will sooth your senses and rejuvenate you skin and body. 

The Organic Chocolate & Sweet Red Rose Facial is loaded anti-oxidant dark cacao (used to make chocolate), jojoba oil for hydration, and sweet red rose petals and essential oils that calm the skin and are anti-aging.

The Organic Champagne and Organic Roses Retreat we cleanse and exfoliate the back with sugar, champagne grape extracts, and apricot oil.  This treatment soothes and hydrates the hard to reach areas of the back and relaxes the muscles as apricot oil is naturally anti-spasmadic.  The Rose facial is nutrient rich, healing and hydrating.

The Organic Decadent Diva's Dream offers ancient Egyptian essential oil treatment of the back and feet.  Essential oils are the oldest form of medicine and are used to reduce stress, boost immunity, reduce inflammation and pain, as well as bring about homeostasis or general balance.  This is the most "spa drunk" experience you will ever have.  Additionally, your Organic anti-aging Sweet Red Rose facial will renew and replenish your skin leaving it dewy and hydrated.

By treating yourself or a loved one to any of these treatments you will release endorphins, feel euphoric and leave with younger, smoother and radiant skin naturally.  We offer couples facials which are perfect for sisters, spouses, and best friends.  For more information visit our website http://www.aminahsorganicskinspa.com/or call us at 702-816-5996 and we will be glad to assist you.

New Year... NuFace!

We make resolutions for our bodies, but why not our skin?  After all our skin is not only our largest organ and one of the most vital detoxification organs, but our skin is also one of the primary things people notice upon making a first impression.

This year set an intention for great skin and leave the resolutions behind.  Great skin starts by toning facial muscles which can deter lines and wrinkles. 

So for the New Year Aminah's Organic Skin Spa, your local Las Vegas day spa, is offering 10% off our NuFace treatment.  This treatment can be added to any facial and uses microcurrent technology to lift and tonify the facial muscles.  Microcurrent technology was 1^st developed to help patients with atrophied facial muscles (like stroke victims).  The treatments were so effective in restoring use of facial muscles and further tonifying them that Doctors decided to bring them into medical spas. Today, low-level microcurrent technology is available at day spas to be used in conjunction with organic peels and treatments. The NuFace treatments are like Pilates for the face and the lifting has immediate and cumulative results that can last up to 72 hours per treatment.  

It’s like having your very own facial trainer. Yes that’s right; we hire trainers for our bodies, but why not train and tone our 52 facial muscles. Overtime “untrained” facial muscles sag and this deterioration leads to lines and wrinkles.  So hiring a qualified esthetician can help improve your skin by the organic peels and treatments we use on the skin’s surface, but also we are training the muscles below the surface of the face by manual massage or implementing the NuFace microcurrent treatment. 

Take Care of Your Skin Now for Longtime Benefits

Remember - the skin (and muscles) you take care of now are the skin (and muscles) that you will wear as you are getting older. So don’t wait until surgery is the only option. Preventative maintenance can go a long way in age prevention, and avoidance of the dreaded scapula.
