Every year we do the same thing. We set big goals and have
poor execution plans. This year let's all make smaller goals and take it step
by step. We hope to be a healthier, happier version of which we already are
year in and year out. In reality it is quite simple. Making small life changes
helps us in the long run. Maybe switch to oats with cinnamon instead of cereal.
Make a switch from soda to water. Then make sure to drink plenty of
water each day. The changes you make to the inside of your body shine through.
Drinking plenty of water each day helps your skin get a natural glow. But help it stay beautiful with proper skin care. Follow the typical steps of Cleanser, Toner, & Moisturizer and you're almost golden. At Alba we carry a brilliant skincare line which is Paraben Free, Vegan, Gluten Free, and Cruelty Free. It doesn't get much better than that, well, except for it does! It is also insanely cost efficient. You want to go with all three steps ideally. The cleanser cleans your face of all the dirt and toxins your skin comes in contact with throughout the day, and helps your skin keep a healthy complexion. The toner is often a skipped step, but personally I believe it is one of the more important ones. It adds moisture back into the skin and it balances out the pH in your skin. What balancing out the pH does is it lets the moisturizer penetrate the skin quicker and deeper. After a rough cleaning the skin is trying to find its normal balance and it can take up to five hours for it to regulate again, and while it's busy trying to regulate itself the moisturizer just sits there and can't do what it’s there to do, which you know is to keep you looking fresh, glowing, and beautiful.
When you feel better you naturally look better, but sometimes we
want more. We have the beautiful face down, but now what do we do with our
hair? Clearly stay away from box color, because that’s just scary! But we can
take another baby step in the right direction, maybe this year another little
goal can be to go out of our comfort zone. Try something a bit healthier for
your hair. The first route we take at Alba is an ammonia free hair color.
Our color line is the only permanent color line available with certified
organically grown ingredients. It also functions as a reconstructor and helps
the hair be healthy from the inside out rather than adding a layer of silicone
on the top to make it appear shiny and healthy; this line actually does the
deed. Ammonia can be responsible for destroying a protein in your hair called
Tyrosine, which is responsible for your hairs natural pigment. Our color uses
heat instead of ammonia to open the hair cuticle for the color processing.
Using heat makes it easier for us to close the cuticle and bring it back to its
normal pH which prevents unnecessary bleeding of color breakage, and dry
feeling hair. To expand on the benefits of using ammonia free color over, well,
ammonia color, it is simply a healthier option. Ammonia is extremely damaging
to your hair and it usually contains such a high percentage of other chemicals
which can be harmful to your health over a long period of time. I stumbled
across this salon in Arizona who really knows their stuff on Ammonia color
lines so if you're interested in more details about the difference between the
two, check out their info ammonia-and-ammonia-free-hair-color
Not only is our color healthy for your hair, but our styling
products are also top notch being Sulphate Free, Paraben Free, and Cruelty Free.
We carry a broad range of products each with individual benefits to target
problem areas, or to finish off a perfect style! Our stylists each have their
favorite products, and a vast knowledge on them all. So come visit us and learn a little
more on how to be a little bit healthier this year.
