Do you want to maintain your tresses during the summer months? Summer sun, heat, humidity, and chlorine from the pool or beach can damage your hair’s cuticle and result in dry, dull, frizzy hair and split ends. Keeping your hair healthy and well moisturized is key to preventing summer damage. Here’s how you keep your hair beautiful all season long.
Helpful Hints for Healthy Summer Hair…
Split ends are always a big problem during the summer months. To avoid them, you should have your hair trimmed on a regular basis. Our stylist recommend getting your hair cut every 6 weeks. By getting your hair cut every 6 weeks you can eliminate split ends and damaged hair. You should also purchase a leave in conditioner for your hair if you will be exposed to the sun for several hours. Our stylists recommend Tahe Sun Repair which provided shine, flexibility and protection against sun damage. This product is also water repellent! If you have color treated hair, using a leave in conditioner with SPF protection will prevent your hair color from fading.
Take special care of color-treated hair by deep conditioning your hair using a hair mask. Tahe Solar Hair Mask replenishes moisture to the hair and scalp exposed to sun & chlorine. Color-treated hair is already damaged, the sun will make the cuticle even rougher which makes hair more fragile and dried out. Wet your hair before swimming in a pool. If your hair is wet before you enter a pool, it won’t soak up as mush chlorine. Rinse with cool water, lightly towel dry and add a small amount of leave in conditioner.
Don’t forget to clean and condition your hair after swimming. As soon as you can get to a shower rinse out those harsh chemicals. Chlorine and salt tend to cling to your hair, and are hard to shampoo out. Tahe Solar Champu is a restorative shampoo especially for hair exposed to salt water, sun and chlorine. Don’t forget to rinse with cool water!
Summer sun and summer humidity are your hairs worst enemy. Remember to protect your hair pool side or on the beach. Beachy hair when following our helpful hints can be fun, flirty & low maintenance. Check out our Tahe Solar Line exclusively at Vito Mazza Salon. Be inspired. Be Beautiful.
As you enter your 60’s, facial muscles weaken and cells responsible for collagen and elastin degenerate causing skin to look thin, dry and dull.
To combat, head right to your skin therapist¸ who will be a great help in maintaining skin fitness! Stick to your Power Rich and peptide routine to protect from further degeneration but kick up your regimen with potent antioxidants such as Green and White Tea to help protect the skin. Find this powerful duo in MAP-15 Regenerator by Dermalogica.
As with all the regimens, remember to use your sun screens to minimize future damage.
Hormonal changes can trigger dryness, sensitization and even rosacea. Wrinkles, age spots and uneven skin tone can become more prominent. To help take on the signs of hyperpigmentation, look to have professional skin brightening treatments and utilize the use of products with natural skin brighteners, like Magnesium Ascorbyl Phsophate ( a stabilized form of Vitamin C).
Look to do restorative treatments at home (we recommend using Dermalogica’s Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque) to help skin recover from damage while promoting healthy tissue regeneration.
Lastly, it is important to combat any dehydration and sensitivity. Our favorite is Dermalogica’s Power Rich and Super Rich Repair-two peptide powerhouses you should not be without!
As you enter your 30’s wrinkles and the dreaded age spots can sporadically show around the eyes, lips and forehead thanks to the damage accrued in our teen years.
The key to avoiding future damage is EXFOLIATION! Speak with your skin therapist about professional treatments that include exfoliating as well as home care products. Products for home should include lactic and salicylic acids that have skin brightening properties. Our favorite exfoliation is the Daily Skin Resurfacer by Dermalogica.
Because skin can start to become dehydrated in our 30’s so it is best increase hydration to supplement what has been lost. Dermalogica’s Skin Hydrating Booster, will increase hydration, leaving your skin moist and supple.
To combat the lines and wrinkles that are beginning to creep in, start using treatments that will help maintain skin tone and minimize lines. Dermalogica’s Extra Firming Booster can be added to your favorite moisturizer or alone to those areas that show signs of aging.
Lastly, sunblock is still a key player in blocking UV light and controlling skin aging. Reach for a product that will do both such as Dermalogic’s Dynamic Skin Recovery with an SPF of 30.
Though our skincare regimens in our 30’s may seem a bit more aggressive, it will help us to look have fabulous skin in our 40’s!

If 50 is the new 40, and 40 is the new 30 (and so on), a good skin regimen means looking as healthy as you feel! Dermalogica believes skin health is as much a necessity as brushing your teeth. A proactive approach to skincare, whether you are 13 or 60, is how healthy skin remains beautiful skin. Though there are a lot of products on the market, we cannot be fooled by the “magic” skin treatment…usually if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! Over the next few weeks we will look at ideal skin regimens for whatever your age.
Oncology massage is bodywork that is designed specific to the needs of people who are dealing with cancer and/or its treatments. It may incorporate Eastern and Western techniques to strengthen both the physical and the emotional. This massage can help reduce anxiety and depression, enhance body image and relieve symptoms such as nausea, pain, fatigue, insomnia, and muscle tension.
What to expect:
- A detailed intake will be completed, including the kind of cancer you have (or had), your treatment history, your current treatment, any symptoms or side-effects you are experiencing, and any medical devices or lymph node involvement you might have
- Any area of your body that has compromised lymph nodes will be honored with special techniques so as not to cause lymphedema
- Depending on issues specific to your body, the position you lie in will be modified to accommodate any surgical or radiation sites or specific medical devices you might have. (Maybe you still have that port for chemotherapy infusions.)
- The pressure and duration of the massage will be determined after the massage therapist has discussed the above with client
