The Road to the Greatest Show in Hair History

On Wednesday, February 1st, Emiliani Enterprises held a press conference at the Soho Academy in New York City. The room was crawling with press waiting to hear from the celebrity hair stylists about the extravagant show they will be performing in on April 15th and 16th at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. You could see the camaraderie among the artists as they answered questions for the press and talked about how they were preparing for "The 4th Dimension."

After the press conference in New York City, the artists hopped on a bus bound for Atlantic City where they attended another press conference at the Taj Mahal where "The 4th Dimension" will be taking place in April. The artists got the opportunity to take a tour of the Taj Mahal arena and were stunned by the enormity of the theatre. The message at both press conferences remained the same: "The Day of the Hairdresser" is going to be a show the public will never forget. Don't miss out on the opportunity to be a part of history.

Mascara myth number one: Pumping the mascara wand in-and-out the tube will catch more cream on the wand for an even application. Truth: Pumping the mascara wand actually fills tube with air and dries out mascara, ruining the product. That’s why the tube is a beauty-blessing.

MUD’s Mascara is less likely to dry out or spoil. The squeezable tube is perfect for a professional make-up artist and heaven-sent for at-home use.

How to exfoliate your skin

Use Exfoliating Gloves- The first step to getting great exfoliation results is learning how to do it. To get the best results and to softly remove dead skin cells, don’t use a hard sponge to exfoliate. A sponge can create breeding ground for bacteria, because they tend to stay damp. You will get the best results for dead skin removal by using exfoliating gloves. Lather gloves with a cleanser and lightly scrub your skin. Be sure to rinse the gloves well after each use and let them air dry. Some people prefer to use the most costly methods, like microdermabrasion. But you can get great results using these techniques and a good cleansing product.

Don’t’ Scrub Everyday if Skin is Irritated- You should exfoliate two to three times a week. When you exfoliate more than this, you can end up with irritated skin. For best results you can also choose to use a soft rag when exfoliating instead of a hard sponge. Of course, if your climate is warmer and you frequently experience more oily skin issues and oil production or perspiration, you’ll have more dead skin cells and may need to exfoliate more often.

Use Specialize Facial Scrubs Only- Be sure to use exfoliate skin products that are specifically designed to be used on the facial areas. If you’ve struggled with irritation after using an exfoliating product on your face, it may be because you’re using a body exfoliant cream instead of a cream designed specifically for the sensitive areas of the face. If you are unsure what products to use ask a skin care expert for assistance.

Don’t forget to moisturize- Exfoliation can leave your skin extremely smooth and can even give you a healthy glow. To ensure you get the silky results you desire, always use moisturizer several times a day if you exfoliate regularly. When you exfoliate, the dead skin cells are indeed removed. However, your skin can begin to dry out and get flaky if you don’t keep moisturizer on it at all times and can even bring on more wrinkles. Exfoliating can make your skin appear brighter and even out your skin tone. It can also lead to smaller pores and

reduce the occurrence of pimples.

Another great recipe to renew & heal dry skin, while you bathe. I like to call it the sensual bathe! All you need for a half bath is 6 tablespoons of milk powder, 3 tablespoons of almond oil, and one or two drops of your favorite perfume.... make sure the water is lukewarm then lay back and relax for about fifteen minutes! It's also a good idea to light a few candles and destress! You'll get the best results if you do this once a week!
