How to Use Bronzer
Bronzer is the perfect way to have a sun-kissed look without spending time sitting by the pool BUT it can also be a little challenging to select the right shade if you’re a novice. Pick a shade just a couple shades darker than your own skin tone. We like Rae Cosmetics’ Bungalow Glow Duo. Follow the easy tips in the video above for the perfect application! Available at Bang Salon.

Dysport-The Botox Alternative
Over time, repeated movement of t
he facial skin by the forehead muscles forms lines between the eyebrows. Frown lines are “dynamic”—they happen because of the way a person’s face moves. It is not always related to age. Because frown lines are created by facial movements, such as frowning or squinting, they may develop even in younger adults.
If you have been thinking about reducing frown lines or those 11′s between your eyebrows, consider Dysport.
Dysport is brought to you by Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, the leading independent specialty pharmaceutical company in the United States focusing primarily on the treatment of dermatological and aesthetic conditions. Medicis also brings you Restylane®—a popular wrinkle filler used around the world.* Learn more here.
Bang Salon & Day Spa has partnered with med spa professionals from Urban Dentistry and Laser Spa for a special Dysport event in March. Get the details and reserve your spot now!
