An Airbrush Tan … But Way Faster
Airbrush tans are all the rage these days. And why not? They give you all the glowing benefits of a real tan with none of the harmful effects of the sun.
But those airbrush tans can take, on average, 8 hours to dry. And that’s a long time if you’re trying to fit a tan in before an event like a wedding, a reunion, or even a first date. Luckily, Sundara Airbrush Tanning in NYC is now offering a Velocity Quick-Dry treatment (+$25) as an add-on to their spray tans.
The Quick-Dry treatment cuts the wait time in half (4 hours or less). So you can actually get the tan and get to your event on time! FYI: Their full-body tan is $78 and last 5 – 7 days when cared for properly.
(If you want the tan, but would rather do it yourself at home, here are tips on applying self-tanner from skincare expert Celeste Hilling.)

Below-the-Belt Pampering

We receive A LOT of interesting information on new spa treatments here at Spa, but the Vajacial at San Francisco’s Stript Wax Bar definitely raised the most eyebrows.
According to the press release, the Vajacial (50 minutes, $60) is “a four-step ‘facial’ designed specifically to pamper and primp your nether regions.” Best performed within a week after a bikini wax, the treatment begins with a warm antibacterial wash and is followed by a Smooth-A-Peel Body Exfoliating Gel to break down dead skin cells. An expertly trained esthetician then extracts all ingrown hairs, after which a calming anti-freckle masque is placed on the area to help purge skin of impurities and reduce red spots. Once the masque is removed, a lightening cream with vitamin C, mulberry, and licorice extract is applied to lighten any discoloration.
Though you’d have to travel cross-country, we realized a Vajacial could go well with a service called Vajazzling offered at Strippers Waxing Salon & Boutique in Washington, D.C. The treatment, which involves decorating down under with colorful crystals, will be at a reduced price of $50 during Spa Week (April 12 to 18).
This could be just the excuse you need to take your little lady on a road trip.
