Get Party Ready with RMUK Leeds LS1

You don't need a party season to Party!  There’s never been a best time for a little selfcare. Whether you’re glamming up for a night out, a celebration or simply catching up with friends over tipple, RMUK is sure to help you prepare for every joyous date in your diary. Here a couple of ideas for you.

Exfoliate, Smooth & Brighten

Preparation is key if you want to look your best and feel your most confident. This means exfoliating, buffing and brightening your skin.

First, exfoliation is essential for breaking up pigmented cells and removing build-up of dry skin to help retain your skin's healthy glow and smooth, soft texture. Second, removing dead skin cells by exfoliating ensures you have a smooth, even skin base ready for applying fake tan, primer, foundation and other beauty products. 

If you want a full body exfoliation in Leeds we would recommend our Aveda Aroma Body Polish. Leaving you silky smooth, the treatment includes an exfoliation, a full body application of moisturiser,  along with scalp and foot reflexology techniques.

Powered by plants, our Aveda Perfecting Plant Peel Facial performs like 30% glycolic peel naturally without redness or irritation, while reducing fine lines and leaving skin more bright and radiant. 

Top tip: We would recommend one of our facial treatments a couple of days before your event as we would advise avoiding make-up for 24 hours after treatment as your pores will still be open.

Hydrate, Replenish & Moisturise

Cold weather can play havoc with your skin. Cold temperatures and low humidity levels result in dry air that draws moisture away from the skin, often leaving you with a dry face and body, as well as chapped lips. 

Our winter skin saviours: 

• Always wear SPF 
• Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water (especially when consuming alcohol) 
• Tweak your daily skincare routine with a more intensive moisturiser 
• Layer up at bedtime with serums and oils specific for your skin type
• Book a facial or professional skin treatment 
• Opt for bath oils rather than bubble baths 
• Moisturise your whole body everyday (oil-based if possible)
• Carry lip balm and hand cream and apply 3 times a day
• Avoid overly hot baths/showers
  

If you’re suffering with skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, please contact us and we will help create a bespoke skincare plan for you 0113 243 6842.

Smooth, Sparkle & Glow

Winter shouldn’t be a time to hide your skin, with the right preparation, you can sparkle and glow just as you do in the summer. 

Wax over shaving 

Whether you’re conscious of unwanted hair on your face or body, our waxing treatments in Leeds safely remove hair on the upper lip, eyebrows, chin, underarms and arms, as well as legs and bikini areas. 

Waxing lasts longer than shaving, which makes it a great option for the festive season. Instead of inconveniently reaching for the razor again within a day or two, with waxing you can be hair free for up to six weeks. 

Benefits of waxing 

• Less regrowth 
• Finer regrowth 
• Works like an exfoliation to remove dead skin
• Banishes the dreaded shaving rash 
• Fewer ingrown hairs 
• No itching or shaving cuts 

Worried about baring all? 

A tan can give you a real confidence boost and help you feel a little more glamorous in your own skin. 

Whether you’re a regular tanner or party glower, fake tan can be a pain to apply, from uneven coverage to dark patchy hands, the risks can sometimes outweigh the benefits. A spray tan, however, takes away the pressure and stress, leaving you with a streak-free even glow that will not only last upto 2 weeks but can be catered to your desired shade and look. Our spray tanning in Leeds boasts a unique moisturising formula that will continue to keep your skin replenished without drying it out. The perfect winter tan!

Hair, Lashes & Nails

Your hair can take your festive ensemble to the next level so it’s important you match your hairstyle or professional blowdry to your party look.

Think about your neckline 

Where your neckline starts can make a huge difference to the kinds of hairstyles that will work best for your look. If you’re wearing a really high neck or there’s a lot going on with patterns or embellishments, wear your hair up or pushed back to elongate your frame. A lower neckline leaves more room for experimentation with longer flowing locks - you could even try out some hair extensions for a more full-bodied head of hair. 

Match your vibes and textures

A light flowing dress pairs really nicely with a soft updo. If your outfit is more tailored or fitted then think about trying a sleek or more polished hairstyle that will work with the cut of your outfit. If you’re showcasing some bold fabrics like sequins or faux fur, again these work much better with sleek styles. One the other hand, silks or smooth fabrics work better with textured blow dries or waves. The key is to balance textures from head to toe.

Consider your jewellery 

Statement earrings are no good if they’re going to be covered by your hair. If you’ve got a bold pair to show off then consider a stripped back bun or pushing your hair to the side, so they get the attention they deserve. Same with your necklace, if it’s a statement piece, too much hair will shorten your neckline. 

Be sure to book your hair colour, hair cut and styling with us here at RMUK! Whether you want a complete re-colour, some framing highlights or even a brand new look, we offer a range of award-winning hair treatments to get you party ready. 

LVL Lashes 

If you’re looking to add volume and definition to your lashes then you may want to consider our LVL lashes in Leeds. LVL lashes last 6-8 weeks, making them perfect for the festive season as they’ll see you through a number of events as well providing an everyday uplift. LVL Lash Lift works by curling your natural lashes at the root using a perm, then tinting them, defining the eye giving the appearance of longer, thicker lashes. You can still apply mascara to them and they require no maintenance. Easy! 

HD Brows

Good eyebrows can instantly lift your face, which is why it's important to have your brows mapped out by a professional and shaped to flatter your face. Our HD brow treatment in Leeds uses a combination of trimming, waxing, tweezing and threading to create a beautiful, flattering brow shape. HD Brow Tint is applied beforehand to complement your skin tone and define your brows creating the perfect base for all your christmas party makeup looks.

Nails

A pedicure and seasonal inspired manicure is a must-have at this time of year. A combination of chilly weather and central heating can result in a buildup of hard skin on feet and calluses on your heels. Our pedicures in Leeds are sure to get your feet party ready by filing toenails, replenishing cuticles, removing dead skin, and finishing with a polish of your choice (super essential if opt for sandals or open toed shoes).

Whether you prefer something sleek and sophisticated or quirky and fun, a festive mani is sure to add some personality to your ensemble and sparkle to your winter. Our gel nails make a particularly great choice if you’re looking for a solution that will last. Strong and durable, gel nails won’t peel or break so they can see you through two weeks of fun chip-free.

Pamper, Relax & Unwind

After party season is over, why not combat those January blues with a well-deserved pamper and unwind. Your skin can get neglected over the Christmas period as our usual routines and diets can not always be maintained. It’s likely your skin will be crying out for some attention and your body will be craving some relaxation, especially in your muscle tissue. 

Our Aveda massage treatments in Leeds are the perfect antidote after a busy festive period and will allow you to unwind and enjoy some you-time. Plus, under the guidance of our lead therapist Laura who has over 30 years’ experience in Guinot skin care treatments our Team is famous for giving the ‘best facials in Leeds’, so why not give one a go.

Feeling the need for a detox?

Our Aveda Aroma Body Wrap is a warm detoxifying seaweed. The treatment includes a dry exfoliation, seaweed body masque, and face massage.

If you’re wanting a detoxing facial, then our Aveda Botanical Skin Resurfacing Facial is the botanical alternative to microdermabrasion which will leave skin smoother and more radiant without irritation or redness.

So, whether it’s pre or post festive celebrations, here at RMUK, we’re here to help you feel your best self with our hair, beauty and nail treatments in Leeds - Call 0113 243 6842 to  book the ‘you’ time you deserve.
