Sun Bum Sunscreen Spray Good Stuff!!!

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

In the hot Florida sunshine we need proper sunscreen. Especially when I am out and about doing hair and makeup photo-shoots. I have warm skin tones and when I get into the sun I turn a golden color. If I do not have proper sunscreen I will turn beet red. That is why I am recommending Sun Bum Sun screen.

I ask my clients who are having swimwear photo-shoots to apply a little of the spray all over and work it into the skin. If you have makeup on do not do this. Makeup lines now have a lot of SPF in them so burning the skin on the face will not be a factor. This easy to use, ultra sheer/dry touch continuous spray formula will protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of premature skin aging. Since I use a spray doing my photo-shoots I will go through a lot so keep a few cans in your travel kit. The product is not expensive and a bottle will last me about 3-4 photo-shoots at the beach.

A lot of my model like to use the product since they have a lot of tattoo’s, and will protect them. This sunscreen sprays on light but gives great protection. And does not feel greasy and dry’s quickly. And the smell is tremendous. I find all of my Sun Bum Products at Target or online.

Be Careful When Changing The Tone Of Your Blonde.

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

During your time with blonde hair. You have to be very careful when changing the tone or making it lighter.  Water especially in the Orlando area has a lot of chemicals in it. AND WILL ADD A YELLOWING TO YOU LOVELY BLONDE HAIR COLOR.

When changing your tone of blonde or going lighter remember blonde hair is the most fragile to work with. You have pretty much taken out a lot of the melanin in the hair shaft. And the shaft itself can become very weak and dry and brittle.

That is why it is good not to over wash the hair, especially with alkaline hair care products. Alkaline hair care products will swell up the cuticle of the hair and give you huge frizzy hair. And what will happen is you will end up using a lot of hair care products to just tame it down. And make it manageable.

Highlighting the hair over and over will cause dryness and breakage to the hair. You will loose tinsel strength and just unruly hair to work with. If you are at that period it is best to just cut it off. Here are some tips for you blonde hair and hair care advice.

  • Don’t wash you hair everyday. You can use condition on the shaft and ends of the hair and that will make it clean. And did you know conditions are just low grade shampoos.
  • Use a wide tooth comb to comb out the tangles and to apply treatments to the hair. A lot of people will use brushes on the hair to comb it out. DON’T. ESPECIALLY WITH BLONDE HAIR. THAT IS A NO-NO.
  • I highly recommend the Shea Moisture hair care line.

Towel dry the hair before placing any hair care products on. If there is too much moisture (water) in the hair it will dilute the hair care product. I will hope this has brought you some good advice.
