In today’s world, it’s important to take a few minutes every now and then to prioritize self-care. For some, that means reading a book or going for a walk, but for others, self-care is more about finding ways to feel good in your own skin. Bella on the Bay’s Missi Davis has some tips and must-have products for diving deeper into hair and skincare to feel your best.
The first and most critical rule is understanding that everyone’s hair and skin is different. If you find yourself comparing your style to friends or even family, it’s important to remember that your hair and skin may require different needs than someone else’s. Bella on the Bay, a full-service salon and spa in Excelsior, offers complementary consultations for this exact reason.
“We do complementary consultations for clients all the time because it’s important to, you know, with so much out there on the internet, to just make sure that you are on the right path and that you are doing the right things for your specific hair or skin,” Missi noted.
With that in mind, though, there are hair and skincare products that can be incorporated into a low-maintenance routine or for special self-care days. These tips and products are also great for anyone looking to start coloring their hair.
Specifically, Missi says the best low-maintenance products are the ones that serve multiple purposes, so you’re not spending hours on your hair.
Missi says the products you should be looking for are, of course, staples like shampoo and conditioner, but also “having a treatment spray, like a leave-in, does multiple things where you can control frizz and is a heat protectant and helps to strengthen your hair.”
The same is true for skincare. Finding multi-purpose products like an exfoliating cleanser and a moisturizer with an SPF in it will help lessen the number of products and time it takes to do your self-care routines. Missi specifically recommends a charcoal exfoliating gel for male clients. “It’s really great for oily or even normal skin types, and it smells really good.”
If you’re hoping for name drops on specific products, Missi has you covered. The salon carries hair care lines like Kérastase to meet the needs of every hair type for men and women. They also have products like Chroma Absolut for frizz control, detangler, and UV protection.
For your skincare needs, Missi recommends Eminence, the salon’s primary skincare line. For exfoliating cleansers, Bella on the Bay carries a couple different fantastic brands, with Monoi being one of the best corrective cleansers.
Outside of your hair and skincare routines, Missi is seeing some style trends that could give you inspiration for your next self-care day in the salon. Lash lifts and tints, hair extensions, and blonding are some of the most popular trends right now.
Whether you’re looking for low-maintenance hair and skin care products, advice about your specific care needs, or a self-care splurge day, Missi and the Bella on the Bay team can help develop your style to ensure you feel your best.
