<span class="userContent">Bode Spa "12 DAYS OF BODE"<br /><br />DAY 1<br /><br />As I mentioned in an earlier post Bode Spa will start off with the few items listed in an article that has been re:posted on Twitter the last several days.<br /><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />"FOOT FIX" (otherwise known as a pedicure) At Bode we call it a Foot Fix as when Men hear the word pedicure automatically a visual of big red nails come to mind. We do not do that here !!!<br /><br />so for the 1st day of our 12 Days of Bode we are going to pair<br />our<br />- Foot Fix (with)<br />- Paraffin treatment (great for dry or cracked skin) (winter)<br />- a Foot Paddle to take home and keep up the work<br />- a foot treatment Product (range from $24 to $30)<br /><br />A regular cost of $109 to $115<br />for<br />$88.50 (this will round it to $100 with tax)<br />and don't forget Bode Spa now has a regular special (our only 1) where if you pay cash you save 20% off your service<br /><br />Here is the Foot Fix part of the article<br /><br />2. Pedicure. While massages continue to be the most popular spa treatment for both men and women, don’t rule out the pedicure. It’s one of the most important treatments a man can have. Most men don’t have a very favourable relationship with their feet. Second only to your heart, this is the hardest working part of your body and, for most men, is the part that needs the most TLC.<br />Plus, if you’re diabetic, your feet are as vital to your self-care as your diet and lifestyle.<br />If you arrive at the spa finding a row of pedicure chairs, a gaggle of girls, and feel uncomfortable, ask that your pedicure be given in a private treatment room. You’ll have a more relaxing and empowering treatment if you feel you’re in a “safe” environment where you don’t feel “on display.”<br />Do not let your esthetician come at your feet with tools that resemble razor blades (called a Credo) or rasps. This is foot care, not woodworking.<br />Men with calluses and especially men with diabetes should take special note that calluses are the body’s natural defense against friction and incorrect posture. Having them “shaved” or overly removed tells the feet they’re under attack. Calluses will return quickly – thicker and harder than before. Insist on the use of a foot-paddle, only to smooth roughness. Follow-up with a foot massage and any negative feeling you may have had will quickly dissipate.</span></span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Yes, men should be men. But they should also have welcoming hands and well-cared-for feet. Have no fear, gents. You can be well-groomed and manly at the same time. Here’s a primer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">No one likes it rough</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
To soften hands’ hard edges, use a body scrub in the shower to gently exfoliate dry skin. Regularly moisturizing your nails and cuticles with lotions containing natural lactic, glycolic, or malic acid can help keep hands supple.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Finger tips</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Soak fingertips in warm, soapy water to soften cuticles, then use an orange stick (a wooden manicure tool) to gently push cuticles back. Dry hands thoroughly. Yes, you do need to file your nails after you trim them, otherwise your loving caress could leave a scratch mark. File in one direction, to the shape of the finger. For fancy occasions, use a buffer to shine the tops of the nails on your fingers.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Hangnails</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Dehydrated cuticles cause tiny pieces of skin to break near the side of your nail and, because they’re attached to living skin, they can be painful. For prevention, keep cuticles properly moisturized by massaging them nightly with jojoba or vitamin E oil.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Avoid biting or picking hangnails, as this can lead to tearing and infection. Instead, use nail scissors to snip off dead skin, being careful not to cut too close.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
If your job keeps your hands frequently immersed in water or in contact with chemicals, you’re at risk of a fungal, bacterial, or yeast infection called paronychia. Aggressive nail biters are also susceptible. This infection occurs when organisms enter a gap between the nail and the surrounding skin.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
A warm-water soak with tea tree oil may help if no abscess has formed. Otherwise, see your doctor. Left untreated, you could lose the nail. If your work requires wearing of rubber gloves, slip on a pair of cotton gloves first for ultimate protection. (No one needs to know.)</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Feet take a lot of abuse, especially in the winter when we barely take them out of boots and socks to air out!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
With more than 250,000 sweat glands in each foot, feet are thought to be a valuable route for eliminating toxins. But when the exit point is barred by a layer of dead, calloused skin (not to mention shoes and socks!), it might explain why feet can get a little pungent. A good pedicure can fix a multitude of foot problems.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Corns and calluses</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Excessive pressure or friction causes skin to thicken or harden over a bony prominence on a foot. When they develop on the bottom of the foot, they’re known as calluses. When they are smaller; appear on the sides, tops, and tips of the toes; and have a hard centre, they are called corns.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Common causes include footwear that’s too tight or too loose, tight socks, or a deformity of the foot. First up, make sure the shoe fits. Never try to cut away the hardened corn, as this can lead to infection. Regular exfoliation can help remove corns and calluses over time.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Unlike other warts, plantar warts grow inward through the sole, or “plantar” of the foot. Home remedies include repeated applications of salicylic acid or thuja oil.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
This fungal infection, also known as <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">tinea pedis</em>, is common and contagious—so always wear shoes at the gym. To treat athlete’s foot, keep feet clean and dry. Wash in warm, soapy water and be sure to pat your feet dry (especially between the toes). Use the towel only once before laundering, and wash it in hot water.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Apply tea tree oil directly on affected areas, or add a few drops to a footbath. Consider supplemental probiotics to support your immune system.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
To prevent malodorous feet, be sure to bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water and mild soap, and dry them thoroughly. Change your socks every day. Give shoes 24 hours to air out after wearing. Wear socks made with natural materials such as cotton instead of nylon, and wear leather or canvas shoes that allow your feet to “breathe.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
For a sweetening soak, boil two bags of black tea for 15 minutes, then add 4 cups (1 L) of cool water. Soak your feet for half an hour. The tannic acid in the tea helps to kill bacteria.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Ingrown toenails</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Most common in males between the ages of 15 and 40, painful ingrown nails often result from cutting toenails too short, from wearing shoes that cramp the toes, or from a poor, leaning-forward posture (which causes a corner of the nail to curve downward toward the skin).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
To avoid getting ingrown toenails, trim your nails straight across, but with a slight curve at the tip for maximum strength. Leave toenails longer than the nail fold and wear shoes with ample toe room. Ingrown toenails can lead to infection if not properly treated, but don’t try to dig out the problem nail yourself as you could encourage infection! Seek medical care.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
After a hard day at work or working out your stress at the gym, soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes. Add a few drops of tea tree oil if you have concerns about athlete’s foot. (This is a great preventive measure if you participate in barefoot sports such as martial arts!)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Use a nailbrush to clean under and around your nails and the bottoms of your feet. Gently exfoliate with a pumice stone or foot scrub. (Regular exfoliation may help remove painful corns and calluses.)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Thoroughly dry your feet, then carefully push back your cuticles with an orange stick. Don’t cut your cuticles, as this can lead to infection. Using straight-edge clippers, trim your toenails to a length near the end of your toes to prevent the nail from growing painfully into the skin around it. Do not trim toenails in bed. Consider massaging some avocado, coconut, or olive oil into your feet, and pull on a pair of cotton socks.</div>

Today, this self-torturous method of hair removal is common practice for women and is becoming more popular for men.</div>

Dry hair is also more likely to break when waxed, which means it may grow back much quicker, so moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!"</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Whenever you get back from a vacation, the first thing others usually comment on is your great tan, or lack thereof. Tanning has been popular since the early 20th century, but the health risks associated with the sun's UV rays have made maintaining an even tan — much less any kind of tan — difficult, especially for those who live in cold climates.</span><br />

Enter indoor tanning salons, which became a popular trend in the '80s. Now, indoor tanning is a $2 billion-a-year industry in the United States alone.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Since about 2000, sunless spray tanning has taken the tanning world by storm. It has provided men with a way to get and maintain a healthy-looking, even tan without being exposed to the sun's rays or those of a tanning bed. What is most impressive is that, unlike previous sunless tanning methods, the effects of spray tanning actually look good.</span><br />

What is spray tanning?</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Spray tanning works by applying a special mist to the body. This mist is sprayed onto the body in a booth, which you can now find at most higher-end tanning salons and spas. The mist emitted contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is a chemical that reacts with dead skin cells by cosmetically dyeing them brown. So after spray tanning, the skin takes on a golden brown color that usually looks like a natural tan.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Depending on the booth used, the mist will either be water or oil based; men with sensitive skin should opt for a water base. Also, some salons offer different types of mists, allowing you to choose the level of darkening. If you are very fair-skinned, keep in mind that going too dark will look fake and awkward, no matter the quality of the product.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

Will it give me a good tan?</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">The mist in spray tanning temporarily makes your skin golden brown, not orange. The chemical reaction physically changes your skin color, so there's no need to worry about smear lines; besides, the products on the market have been well-tested in order to make sure they provide a color that looks exactly like a natural tan (or as close as it's going to get). Even fair-skinned guys who usually turn pink rather than brown while tanning will benefit from a bronze color by getting a spray tan.</span><br />

How long does it last?</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Mystic Tan, one of the most popular brands of spray tanning booths, states that once an optimal color is achieved, it can be maintained by tanning every five days. Fantasy Tan, a competitor, states that their tans will last up to 10 days. As you'll discover by reading on, there are certain measures you can take (before and after your spray tanning session) to ensure that your tan lasts as long as possible.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Here's a mini-lesson in dermatology: The top layer of your skin naturally sheds in order to give way to newer skin. Because that top layer of skin is the part that's dyed by the DHA, the tan wears off once the top layer of dead skin peels off. So, to extend the effects of the spray tan, you must use moisturizer (you know, that lotion your woman swears by) to keep the top layer from shedding as quickly. Basically, if you moisturize, you should be able to maintain an optimal tan for about five days.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
There are many moisturizers on the market, by every cosmetic producer in the world. You can't walk into a pharmacy or department store without finding a full rack of the stuff — if you're still not sure where to look, ask any member of the fairer sex and they will point you in the right direction.</div>

What can I do to maximize the tan?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
In addition to <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://ca.askmen.com/fashion/fashiontip_150/192_fashion_advice.html" style="color: #ff4400; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">moisturizing</a> with a water-based moisturizer, you should exfoliate before spray tanning. Exfoliating basically eliminates the already-dead skin cells, which means that the spray tan mist will dye the layer of skin that is likely to last for a longer period of time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
After getting the spray tan, try not to sweat or shower for a minimum of four hours, to allow the DHA to take full effect. So that means no physical activity after spray tanning. Now this might all seem like a lot of work, but if you're going to the trouble of getting a <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://ca.askmen.com/fashion/fashiontip_150/154_fashion_advice.html" style="color: #ff4400; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">fake tan</a>, you may as well do it right.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #1f4773; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 32px; margin: 60px 0px 15px;">
Will it rub off or smear? Can it stain my clothes?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
I'm not talking about a lotion that's applied like some kind of makeup. Spray tanning emits a colorless mist that chemically changes the color of your skin. If the film from the mist does get on your clothes, it can be easily washed off. But you still might not want to wear your favorite white shirt to the session, because sweating can cause the DHA to get on your clothes.</div>

Does it leave an odor?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Some sunless tanning products are water-based and scentless. But most mists will leave a smell that is best described as starchy, so I do not recommend going out right after spray tanning. The smell can even linger after showering, but should disappear by the following day.</div>

Who is doing it?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
The different types of men who tan are as numerous as the reasons for tanning. They include men who want their muscles to show more, men who look pasty, men who have an upcoming special event, like a wedding, and men who just want to get some color without going on vacation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

Is it safe? Why or why not?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Spray tanning uses FDA approved dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which has been approved since the 1970s and has no known toxicity. The FDA does recommend protecting your eyes, lips and nasal passage while in spray tanning booths. Inhaling or tasting the mist are both bad ideas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
The American Association of Dermatologists considers spray tanning to be the most effective sunless tanning tool, and possibly the best part about spray tanning is that you don't have to expose yourself to damaging UV rays.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

Who shouldn't use it?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Because of the way DHA reacts with skin particles, certain people might receive an uneven or unattractive tan when using it. This includes men who have sun-damaged skin, mottled or freckled skin, and scars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
It should be noted that men with excessively dry and flaky skin should avoid spray tanning because it could result in an uneven and patchy tan.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

Where can I get it?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Again, sunless tanning booths are relatively new and are available mainly at higher end tanning salons and spas. As they increase in popularity, the number of salons that offer them should rise.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">

How much does it cost?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
In general, salons charge approximately $25 (US) per session. Package prices that offer anywhere between three and 10 sessions are available to bring down the overall cost. This is recommended if you plan on doing it more than once.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">
Now that you know of another way to get that tan you're looking for without spending thousands on a Caribbean vacation or frying yourself in a tanning bed, you can make your buddies jealous and the women swoon at your great, healthy-looking tan.</div>

As well on Tuesday night I personally will be having this done and will post the before and after pics as well as a video. Today I have included some FAQ!!! so if you have any send them our way.<br />Daniel<br />Q-What bronzing agents are in the Tan on the Run airbrush tanning solutions?<br /><br />A-3 different types of bronzers are used- first, the cosmetic bronzer. Designed to give instant gratification of having a tan and acts as colour guide for technician. 2nd-DHA bronzer initally has no visible effect as it is clear. It begins to react with your skin in 2-4 hours, fully develops in approx 8 hours and eventually replaces the cosmetic bronzer that washes away after the clients first shower. 3rd- Eyrthulose is used as a slow-reacting bronzer, similar to DHA. It enhances the clients colour and extends life of tan to 7-10 days.<br /><br />Q-What is DHA?<br /><br />A-DHA is an active tanning ingredient derived from sugar cane and beets, which reacts with the amino acids in the skin to create the darkening reaction or tan.<br /><br />Q-Will a sunless tan protect my client from UV rays?<br /><br />A-No, their skin will not be protected and can still burn without sunscreen.<br /><br />Q-Should clients rest between spray sessions?<br /><br />A- We recommend that after every 5 weeks of spray tanning, the client allow their skin to rest for 10 days. This will eliminate patchiness or uneven areas of wear. These areas are caused by normal contact with clothing and other surfaces which cause additional exfoliation.<br /><br />Q-Will sunless tanning solution cause additional freckling to already freckled skin?<br /><br />A- No, however it won't cover up freckles either. What is darker will stay darker, and what is lighter will stay lighter. Use cosmetic concealer to cover large areas that client doesn't wish to have emphasized by spray tan<br /><br />Q-How long will the tan last?<br /><br />A-7-10 days with proper care<br /><br />Q-I have sensitive skin- will I have a reaction?<br /><br />A-The product is hypo-allergenic. The company has had no reported allergic reaction<br /><br />Q-Will I turn orange?<br /><br />A-No-the product we use is a golden brown hue. We have tested many products to find the perfect formula<br /><br />Q-How long does it take to dry and develop?<br /><br />A-10 minutes to dry, 6-8 hours to develop<br /><br />Q-Will it stain my clothes?<br /><br />A-No, product is water soluble<br /><br />Q-Will it cover stretch marks, scars and imperfections?<br /><br />A-No, it will camouflage</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619106574100706727.post-65413738585386923952014-07-09T11:38:00.001-07:002014-07-09T11:38:08.170-07:00<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">At Bode Spa Ottawa we have been teaching guys on how to properly shave for their specific skin and hair type. After all when were you ever taught how to shave ? As boys we reach that age where we need (or want) to start shaving that amazing peach fuzz. our fathers or older brothers toss us in the bathroom with a few hints on what to do with a razor and shave cream they picked up (more than likely on sale) wait for us to come out with cuts and some bleeding pat us on the back and welcome us into manhood. THAT IS IT! no one took the time to properly show us how to shave for our unique hair growth patterns, skin type and hair type. Come see us at Bode Spa Ottawa for a consult on how to shave ! For those of you with very corse hair or curly hair here is a great article to help you out (as we know corse hair and curly hair suffer a lot with ingrowns and razor burn) </span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ingrown hairs and razor bumps are a result of using products and methods that were not designed for our unique needs. Properly s</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">having with high quality products and tools designed for coarse and curly hair prevents and reduces razor bumps and ingrown hairs. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><img alt="" class="wysiwyg-text-align-center" height="517" src="https://help.getbevel.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/200486467/bevel.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0666667); box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 3px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;" width="532" /></span></div>
<ol style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: outside; margin: 20px 0px 20px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">You know those </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">multiblade cartridge razors</strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> that promise to lift the hairs and cut them below the skin’s surface? Hairs cut beneath the skin usually grow back in a slightly different direction and, consequently, burrow into your skin. Coarse or curly hair needs to be cut cleanly and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">at</em></strong> the skin level to avoid this.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Multiblade cartridge razors also tug at the hairs</strong> causing inflammation. The blades are placed so closely together that coarse hairs can easily become trapped between them. Once trapped, they are yanked out leading to irritation and swelling.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">This also happens <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">when skin is pulled</strong> to get that extra close shave. It’s not worth it. When you let go of your skin, it pops right back over the hairs you've just cut. Now they start growing into your skin causing razor bumps.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Not shaving enough</strong>. If you are prone to razor bumps, we strongly suggest you allow no more than one day between shaves. Unless your skin is just too sensitive, shaving daily is optimal.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Too much <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Pressure</strong>! If you've used one of those plastic disposable razors, no matter how fancy the commercial made it seem, or how many blades it has, you know it's crazy lightweight and you're forced to apply pressure to cut anything. Aside from scraping the heck out of your skin, you are cutting the hairs beneath it. When you move the razor away, the skin pops back into place, but the hair beneath it is now poised to start growing into your skin. Aside from the incredible design, the first think you'll notice when you hold the Bevel Razor is its weight. Absolutely no pressure is required. It's precisely weighted with solid brass to cut your hair, at skin level, while leaving your sensitive skin safe.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Electric Trimmers</strong> can cause razor bumps and irritation too. A couple issues here. If your hair is coarse and/or curly, the sharp jagged end left by your electric trimmer can easily start to curl and burrow into your skin causing razor bumps. And considering the hairs aren't being softened before the shave, things can go south quickly. Moreover, if not properly cleaned, you or your barber can wreak havoc on your skin by infecting the bumps with bacteria. Not a good look.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Never shave against the grain. It provides a slightly quicker close shave, but usually brings on razor bumps. Shaving against the grain allows hairs to be cut beneath the skin. Once that happens, they continue growing <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">into</em> the skin....creating razor bumps. <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Shave with the grain.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></em></strong></span></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Another issue: </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">not properly preparing the skin and hair</strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> to be shaved! We strongly suggest you start off with a hot shower to soften your skin and hair and open the pores. And don’t skip out on your Bevel Priming Oil. It further softens your skin and hair and acts as a layer of protection on your skin. Furthermore, the Bevel Shave Cream is specially formulated to condition thick and curly hair and lubricate the skin so the razor can glide across, tug-free.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rinsing the shaving cream off is not the final step. <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Lock in moisture and keep the hairs soft</strong> with Bevel Restoring Balm. The witch hazel and tea tree oil in it soothe and prevent inflammation. While gentle amounts of lactic and salicylic acid exfoliate. And of course, it's enriched with jojoba oil and shea butter to keep your skin moisturized and protected all day.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Lastly, </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">reusing blades</strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> makes the problem worse. They become dull and dirty. Coarse/thick beards require blade changing much more often. We really need a sharp blade. Bevel Bundles include enough blades to ensure a sharp blade each shave. </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li>

If your profession requires you to be on your feet, most of the day, then a pedicure can be exactly what you need. All men would agree that stress is the biggest enemy and given your frenetic schedules, it’s not a bad idea to take an hour out of your daily routine for a pedicure. After all, sitting and relaxing while a professional is working on your feet can be bliss. This will also help in distracting and taking your mind off issues that you had deal with all day, another reason to go for pedicure.</div>

Your feet also need <a href="http://www.mensxp.com/grooming/skin-care/8916-benefits-of-exfoliating-your-face.html" style="color: #ff5e05; cursor: pointer; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">exfoliation</a> to remove the bacterial infection, which you can’t get rid off in normal washes and can only be achieved vis-a-vis pedicure.</div>

Men, often, don’t pay much attention when you cut your toenails. This can lead to cutting nails too short or leaving miniscule pieces at the edges - both of which lead to ingrown toenails. A professional pedicure will ensure that your nails are taken care of and are also cut to the correct length. When a calf or foot massage is assisted with a pedicure, it also benefits in improving blood flow in the region while reducing the pain, if any!</div>

If you’ve ever got a pedicure done, you’ll understand what we actually mean, and a good way to change this condition is to actually go and get it done.</div>

In those ancient times, the Romans would pour hot waxes on the body in preparation for<a href="http://rehabilitation-products.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/param/1096_0__1_true/product_search.asp" style="color: #990066;">massage therapy</a>. Later the French embraced paraffin therapy by melting paraffin wax and spreading it on wounds to accelerate healing. In World War I, the British used paraffin wax therapy as a protocol to treat orthopedic disorders in military hospitals. In modern times, paraffin therapy is quite common and widely used to aid in the treatment of conditions such as the following:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<li>Arthritis</li>
<li>Bursitis</li>
<li>Eczema</li>
<li>Fibromyalgia</li>
<li>Fibrositis</li>
<li>Inflammation</li>
<li>Muscle Spasms</li>
<li>Overworked/Fatigued Muscles</li>
<li>Psoriasis</li>
<li>Scar Tissue</li>
<li>Stiff Joints</li>
<li>Tendonitis</li>
<li>Tennis Elbow</li>

One of the overlooked benefits of paraffin therapy is that it soothes and moisturizes the skin, opens pores, increases circulation, and promotes a sense of calm in the patient.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
A great way to use this therapy is by using a spot <a href="http://rehabilitation-products.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/10416/new_prod_full.asp" style="color: #990066;">paraffin therapy bath</a>. Using such a modality will enable you to treat specific areas of the body and pinpoint the management of treatment. Not only are such modalities increasingly being used in rehabilitation and therapy clinics, but they are now widely available to the public. Using a paraffin therapy bath is easy and doesn’t take very long at all, but there are some guidelines to follow. Be sure to remove all jewelry prior to treatment. Thoroughly wash and dry the area that is to be treated. When conducting a paraffin dip, relax the body part to be treated and immerse it gradually in to the warm paraffin wax. While dipping the area into the paraffin therapy bath, layers of paraffin wax will build up. Allow it to harden. Once the treatment is complete, the wax is peeled off and the area is then ready for massage, stretching, exercise, or additional therapeutic measures.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/param/505_0__1_true/product_search.asp" style="color: #990066;"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" height="91" hspace="4" src="http://medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/Image/Articles/PT-18-S.jpg" style="margin: 12px 24px 12px 12px;" vspace="4" width="170" /></a>Paraffin wax occurs naturally as a component of crude mineral oils. Paraffin wax is produced by refining or separating the wax out of the crude mineral oils. It is then purified through boiling and then chilled and pressed through a filter which creates a heavy oil, or <a href="http://rehabilitation-products.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/10425/new_prod_full.asp" style="color: #990066;">paraffin wax</a>. Paraffin has been laboratory tested to be hygienically safe to use. It is colorless, tasteless, odorless, and extremely heavy in molecular structure. Since paraffin is heavy in molecular weight, it increases the blood supply to the area being treated and traps moisture from underlying layers of the skin, resulting in rejuvenated and nourished skin. Paraffin therapy reduces pain and stiffness around joints by removing excess fluid from surrounding tissue while providing lubrication.<br /><br />Paraffin treatments are not recommended for people with the following conditions:</div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<li>Hypertension</li>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li>Varicose Veins</li>

Which type of massage is best for runners?</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s not surprising that runners get confused about what type of massage would benefit them most. Depending on where you look, there are over 30 different types of massage identified on the internet. Of course, some of these styles are obviously not specifically beneficial to athletes, but runners can go beyond the typical “sports massage” to get results. The following are the four most beneficial types of massages for runners:</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: PTSansBold, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Active Release Technique</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Active Release Technique, commonly known as A.R.T., is massage technique that combines movement with specific, deep pressure to help relieve muscle adhesions and reduce scar tissue buildup.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
During an A.R.T session, the therapist uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and mobility of the soft tissue and then works to break up these adhesions with their hands, as well as movement of the muscle.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Of Injury Prevention For Runners</a></div>

Active release is best for treating a specific injury, especially one where the formation of scar tissue impacts the ability for the body to heal itself. Most notably, A.R.T. is an effective treatment method for <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16584948" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 51, 153) !important; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">hamstring injuries</a>, <a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://runnersconnect.net/running-injury-prevention/plantar-fasciitis-in-runners/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 51, 153) !important; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">plantar fasciitis</a>, and shin splints.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: PTSansBold, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Swedish Massage</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Swedish massage is perhaps the most well known of the common massage modalities and is often associated with relaxation and pampering. However, Swedish massage can also benefit runners, especially before big competitions.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Swedish massage utilizes long, flowing strokes of various pressure, although usually light, to release muscle tension and increase blood flow.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Swedish massage is best used in the days before big competitions or as a recovery tool after hard workouts. The lighter, relaxing strokes help relieve stress and muscle tension without damaging the muscles, which is important if you have a big race on the horizon. A Swedish massage before a race, especially if you’re coming off a hard week of training, can help you reenergize, relax, and get your legs back under you.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: PTSansBold, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Trigger Point</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Trigger point therapy is a massage modality that targets muscle knots and areas of referred pain in the muscle tissue. Therapists target and find knots in the muscles or areas of referred pain and use deep pressure to help loosen the adhesions.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Like A.R.T., trigger point therapy is best used to treat injuries. Specifically, trigger point therapy is effective in the treatment of IT band tightness, calf strains, and hamstring injuries.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: PTSansBold, Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Deep Tissue Massage</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most runners are familiar with deep tissue massage, which is often confused with deep pressure (e.g., when you tell the therapist to “go harder”). Deep tissue massage targets both the superficial and deep layers of muscles and fascia and are often quite intense as a result of the deliberate, focused work.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Deep tissue massages typically focus on a few specific problem areas and, unlike trigger point therapy, work the entire muscle. Because runners often have tight spots and interconnected issues when volume and intensity are high, deep tissue massage is often the modality of choice during hard training segments.</div>

• Don't have unprotected sex<br />

<strong>DO THE FOLLOWING</strong>: Get a SOFT brush from your chemist (NOT a nail brush!) OR just use an exfoliating mitt if you don't want to be caught doing the brush-thing. After soaping up in the shower, GENTLY brush in circular movements over all the waxed areas. Yep, you guessed it.... 'there' too. This goes a bloody long way to help the hairs to break through the skin. Continue this for a few days and we can practically guarantee no ingrowns.<br />
<br />
<strong>NOTE</strong>: We said GENTLY brush in circular movements.... Cut the macho "I-feel-no-pain" thing of SCRUBBING till the blood flows every time. You CAN do 'gentle mate...no-one will know!

The first is that everyone seems to go to the dirty route with a little smirk or laugh trying to make a joke as if it is an uncomfortable topic. Why is it that Women can have spa's just for them, Gyms just for them and no one thinks anything strange about that - yet when there is one for men everyone seems to go the …. oh are there happy endings involved. The answer is NO this is a professional spa where the services are geared towards the MALE client. Simple - Right ? I think so but it causes another question, why do we need a spa for Men ? what is the difference compared to any other spa ?<br />
<br />
The next series of posts in the Bode Spa for Men Blog will answer these questions. Today we will be discussing the topic of Grooming (waxing, clipping, shaving, sugaring).<br />
<br />
Men are looking for Spa's that offer theses services and are having a hard time finding ones that will do the areas they want waxed. Traditionally the back is the most common and still is but with many other areas being asked to be done as well. Most spas will not offer more than a back or chest wax. So why don't we start there.<br />
<br />
In Ontario the schools that teach waxing or sugaring are teaching technique and education on the hair, root and skin. They will teach on how it grows, reactions to after waxing and will do some on hands training. Mainly on women, very few schools have male clients that are willing to come in and have a wax done. When they do it is almost an entire class looking on the 1 or 2 men that are having the service done. The education about what happens after the waxing to the body and the aftercare protocol are all geared to the female client not the male client. Why does that matter you ask ? Men produce over 30% more oil then women do and after a wax your body's oil production is kicked into high gear to help repair the rooted areas. Wax which not only removes the hair but removes dead and some live skin has now started a process where the skin starts to repair itself. The skin is now growing over the hair follicle pore, which needs to breathe. The skin will react - you will notice red bumps over most of your back the first time or two (it does get better with regular waxing). If you are not doing an important after care step (that is not discussed in most schools in regards to male waxing) your oil will now be trapped under those red bumps and now they will start looking like acne. If you have had your back waxed at some point in the past you know what I am talking about. This can all be avoided by 1 simple after care step. The step is not an expensive product, doesn't require you to come back to the spa for a professional to take care of, it is something you can easily do on your own at home during your normal daily routine. What is that step - well that is why you come see the experts at Bode Spa for Men. A small percentage of men will require a 2nd step as well - but only a very few. That 2nd step is something that mainly done which a chest waxing - which does have a lot more reaction than a back.<br />
<br />
What most people don't realize that our schools in Ontario only contain approx. a paragraph and a half on how to take care of mens spa like needs. That is a paragraph and a half on face skin care, feet, hands, body care, waxing etc.. WOW that is a lot of knowledge is it not ! <br />
<br />
So lets ask that question again - Why a mens spa ? Simple - WE NEED IT<br />
<br />
Our experts at Bode Spa for Men in OTTAWA have taken many extended courses so we can care for the male client. When it comes to waxing I (Daniel Francoeur) have over 17 years experience, teach and train in the area of male waxing, the knowledge and education that I have gained over the years have been passed on to the Bode staff which they blend with their expert training.<br />
<br />
When it come to Male Waxing we are the experts ! If you are simply curious, come see us for a consult - it won't cost you anything but you will leave with a wealth of knowledge.<br />
<br />
I will add more information over the next few weeks on Grooming then will get into face care, foot care, hand care etc.<br />

For more information come see one of our skin experts. Another great article<br />

A Guy’s Guide to Exfoliating</h1>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
We’ll skip the part where we compare your skin to snake scales and cut to the chase: Exfoliation is the process of taking off dead skin cells. Do it, and your skin will generally look and feel cleaner, fresher, and smoother. It’s that simple, but also a bit more complicated.</div>
</div>
<div class="row-fluid article-content" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: SourceSansPro; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; width: 700px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 26px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The first complication is this oft-repeated, rarely heard-aloud exfoliation term: to “slough.” This word rhymes with “tough” and just means to shed or dispose of something. (Acing the SAT: one of many side benefits of upping your grooming game.) Now, onward to the actual sloughing.</div>
<h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 6.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Why you should do it</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 26px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Scrubbing away dead skin cells unclogs pores and keeps your skin clean. It also helps expose your beard hair follicles. This reduces ingrown hairs and, as you might imagine, makes for the perfect pre-shave treatment.</div>
<h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 6.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
What you need</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 26px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
A facial scrub soap with some grit to it. You’ve probably encountered a cleanser at some point that felt like one of its primary ingredients was sand. That’s what you need. That grittiness is typically some combination of granulated pumice, sea salts, or fruit seeds. Many products also use salicylic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid, and beta hydroxy acid, which help break down the bonds between dead cells and your face. (Again, see how much smarter you’re getting?) While the level of grittiness is a matter of personal preference, remember that your aim is to get smooth—not ragged—skin.

How to exfoliate</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 26px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
After getting your face wet in the shower, rub a small amount of the exfoliator into your hands. Then massage your face using circular motions. No need to scrub too hard—the coarseness of the product will do the work. And you’ll feel it working. After massaging for about 30 seconds to a minute, rinse clean. Afterward, apply a moisturizer since exfoliating can leave your skin drier than normal.</div>
<h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 6.5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
When to do it</h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 26px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Every other day. If you exfoliate every day you run the risk of pissing off your skin and triggering redness and breakouts. Use your best judgment and on your off days, opt for a regular gentle face cleanser.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 26px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>Note:</strong> Exfoliating isn’t just for your face. You can use a variety of tools to scrub away dead skin on the rest of your body. A pumice stone (a small piece of volcanic rock), loofah sponge, or gritty bar soap can do the trick for rough patches on your body (we’re partial to <a class="track-event" href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/kiehl-s-ultimate-man-body-scrub-soap-7oz-200gr/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s linear; color: #ff4a0b; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s linear;" title="Kiehl's Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap">this oatmeal- and pumice-packed soap bar</a> from Kiehl’s). They’ll also give you that invigorating, impossible itch type satisfaction you get from having your back scratched.</div>

At Bode Spa we are trying to keep it plain and simple - not only do we have body scrub services we will also go through the proper scrubber, products etc. with you for your skin type. Those nylon balls that somehow have managed to find their way into everyones bathroom are truly not exfoliating your body at all but make a great soapy lather. Read the article below and if it has managed to peek your curiosity give us a call and book a body scrub (1 hour ) or book a combination body scrub with a massage.<br />
