Looking to get your body beach ready? Look no further! Ole Henriksen has the perfect beach body scrub for those with dry, and lackluster skin to give your skin a sexy summer glow. According to Ole, this scrub holds the secret to “baby-smooth” skin—something I know we all crave!

Here’s the recipe for Ole’s famous Beach Body Scrub:
Makes 1.5 Cups – Approximately 3 treatments
Ingredients:
½ C of finely grained sea salt
½ C of finely ground coffee
¼ C of sesame oil
½ Tsp of eucalyptus essential oil
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the salt, coffee, sesame oil and eucalyptus oil. Use the scrub in the shower away from running water. Massage into damp skin with long, firm semi-circular movements. Take your time in order to activate all of the ingredients. Rinse well. Store the leftover scrub in the refrigerator in an air-tight Tupperware. This scrub can be used 3-4 times per week.
Sea salt is used to retexturize the skin, while the coffee grounds help firm the skin and fight cellulite. Sesame oil is an important ingredient because it nourishes and softens your skin. Finally, the eucalyptus oil purifies and oxygenates the skin.
Now you can whip out that itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini with confidence to show off your silky smooth skin. Happy summer!

The sun can be our best friend, providing our bodies with many essential vitamins; but, it can also be our worst enemy causing painful burns, life-threatening sun damage, or those unattractive age spots. Also known as “those things we all try to avoid like the plague!”
The June issue of European Men’s Health Magazine mentions OLEHENRIKSEN’s hands forward creme as a way great way to impress the ladies! They talk about how a swanky restaurant and smooth moves will come to nothing if your hands look like they’ve gone toe-to-toe with a meat grinder!
And let me tell you – it’s true! For a man, your hands signal to us ladies how well you take care of yourself!
“The hands are always exposed to the elements on a daily basis and therefore are more prone to showing the signs of aging if not properly cared for,” says Ole, “and if you want to tell a person’s true age, all you need to do is look at their hands!”
Here at OLEHENRIKSEN our hands forward creme – SPF 15 is a sun care product specifically designed for your hands! Not only does the hands forward creme soften and smooth your skin with shea butter, but it also stimulates cell renewal with sugar maple extract.
Now, are you sitting down for this one? One of the main ingredients in the hands forward creme is kojic acid which is known to fade discoloration, even skin tone and correct/prevent hyper-pigmentation.
So don’t worry ladies and gents! If you haven’t been using SPF on your hands and you happen to have a little sun damage, our creme can reverse the signs of aging!
How about that for good news on a Wednesday?

Have you ever had “raccoon eyes?” You know that black smudgy mess of mascara that takes residence under your eyes by mid-day? Oh, “raccoon eyes” a lady’s worst enemy!
One solution is waterproof mascara. However, it uses chemicals that can make your lashes dry and brittle. Not to mention it is the single most difficult type of make-up to remove, leading to excess rubbing and tugging around that delicate eye area of yours! Who needs extra wrinkles or fine lines? Not me!

Our solution is to get your eyelashes tinted. Imagine having pool-side perfect lashes all summer long – the mere thought of that makes me giggle with excitement! Let me break it down for you and give you the skinny on lash tinting. With lash tinting, the eyelashes are basically dyed a darker color so that it appears as if you’re always wearing a fresh coat of mascara, even though you won’t need to apply any at all!
The process itself is a perfect addition to any facial since it only takes about 15 minutes and the esthetician can dye your lashes while your face is being masked. Lash tinting is absolutely pain-free, will last approximately 2-4 weeks when done correctly, and only costs $30.
It also happens to fall in the top 10 most requested and booked treatments at our spa! We offer a black tint, brown tint and a blue-black tint. The blue-black tint is the #1 most popular color because it tends to be a more subtle black and really brings a nice balance to most eye-colors.
When getting ready for a lash tint, you’ll need to be prepared to wash your face and the eye area both before and after the treatment. So, there’s no need to arrive wearing any eye make-up and you’ll want to come equipped with your make-up bag if you plan on going out anywhere special afterward.
This treatment can really benefit so many women and there is something really wonderful about being able to get up and go in the morning without applying a fresh coat of mascara. Lash tinting is a perfect and simple way to add definition to your beautiful eyes – the athletic type to the fashion icon and everyone in between love this treatment. Have you ever gotten it done?
