Spring Product Round Up

Spring Product Round-up
By: Jessica Thomas

Ah spring. The weather is finally warm (most of the time), the sun is out and the onslaught of rain will help the flowers grow. Not only that, but the humidity and the season change bring on a variety of issues with our hair and skin. There are lots of products that address this and more, so read on to see what AS&S suggests to pick up.
Frizzy hair is a downfall of the rain and humidity that comes each Georgia spring, and that’s why we think you should stop by Dragonfly Salon and pick up Prive’s flash de brilliance to enhance your tresses. Blended with chamomile, lemongrass and balm mint, this ultra fine spray adds shimmer and gloss to the hair and protects it from the sun. And while the humidity means softer, more moisturized hair, sometimes we still need to go that extra step. Look to a bottle of Phytonectar Oil, a pre-shampoo ultra nourishing oil treatment sold at Ambrosia Salon. It will help you make sure your tresses are extra lustrous.
To ensure your hair is touchably soft everyday, check out Richie Arpino Salon’s Smooth-it leave-in conditioner. It leaves your hair silky smooth with shine and lots of volume (something else we need more of in the warmer weather). Another fantastic hair line to add to your collection is Neil George, sold at Entebello Apothecary in Buckhead. We suggest getting the Indian Gooseberry treatment oil for moisture, the lime flower and orange blossom volumizing spray for (duh) volume and jojoba and calendula detangle spray nourishment spray. They really protect your hair so that your color fades slower and stays ever so beautiful and shiny.
And speaking of protecting, it’s important to safeguard your best asset-your face-with Skin Medica Essential Serum available at Vilas Med Spa in Cumming. This unparalleled anti-aging serum is the first to combine the renowned growth factor serum, TNS Recovery Complex and APS Corrective Complex™, a potent mixture of antioxidants, peptides and other innovative anti-aging ingredients. Together these products work synergistically to transform and regenerate your skin for a more youthful appearance. Another first on the market, the Amatokin Emulsion ($173) for the face, available at Bloomingdale’s, is the first product to harness the regenerative potential of your own facial stem cells to renew skin and make it look young again. Almost sounds too good to be true, fortunately it’s not.
But Bliss Spa’s Vanilla & Bergamot Bath + Shower gel smells too good to be true. After a hard day at the beach or the pool, a quick shower with this body wash will make you think you’ve been transported to the closest Bliss Spa at the W Hotel to be pampered all day. But it’s not like you’re already there, well in your head anyway.
