Pantone Colour of the Year 2012 – Tangerine Tango

By SalonQuip | December 14, 2011

Pantone has announced the 2012 Colour of the Year. Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, provides the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

A winner in cosmetics because of its versatility, Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way. Add a sultry flair to lips, cheeks and nails with Tangerine Tango. An unexpected eye shadow color, Tangerine Tango is a complementary opposite that flatters blue or green eyes. When paired with brown eyes, it brings out an amber cast. Visit the Pantone website for more information about this colour: http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/category.aspx?ca=88

This colour will turn up in fashion, accessories and home furnishings throughout 2012. I have selected four nail polishes that closely match the Pantone colour ‘Tangerine Tango’.
From Left to right: China Glaze – ‘Oh How Street it is’ and for a bit of shimmer China Glaze – ‘Jamaican Out’; Orly – ‘Precisely Poppy’; and Hawley – ‘166 Red Ribbon’.

Professional Bodycare – Uses for Beauty Therapists

By SalonQuip | October 25, 2011

Professional Bodycare’s range of products is now recognised Australia wide and Internationally for its quality and effectiveness in the field of Professional Skin Care. Using only the highest quality of Tea Tree Oil in premium formulations aids beauty therapists with professional applications for more hygienic and healthy skin results.

Professional Bodycare Antiseptic Hand and Body Lotion is a soothing and healing antiseptic lotion which is TGA registered. It is a gentle water based therapeutic lotion containing 5% Tea Tree Oil and is suitable for all skin types, leaving a non greasy residue.

Applications for Beauty Therapists
After Wax / Hair Removal: Use immediately after waxing or hair removal as a soothing antiseptic after care lotion. This lotion will remove the “chicken skin” appearance and redness much quicker than other lotions.

In-Grown Hair Prevention: In-grown hairs are caused by disorders of the hair follicles. Daily application of Antiseptic Hand & Lotion will heal damaged hair follicles & soften dry skin tissue, allowing new weak hairs to penetrate through the skin.

Cracked Heals/Hands: Nourishes & heals dry, cracked skin.

Skin Fungus: Kills the harmful fungi which cause Tinea Pedis & White Spot.

Eyebrow Tweezing: Use as an antiseptic soothing after care lotion.

Manicure & Pedicure: Use as an antiseptic moisturizing and quick penetrating hand and foot massage lotion.

Aroma Therapy: Apply Hand & Body Lotion after aroma therapy as a sealer and skin nourisher.

Antiseptic Tea Tree Oil
What is it and what can it do?
- It is a pure essential oil, distilled from the leaves from a particular species of Australian Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia).
- It is a proven natural antiseptic and fungicidal agent.
- It rehydrates dry skin.
- It is a gentle, natural anesthetic, with anti-inflammatory abilities.

What is so different about this Antiseptic?
Most skin problems usually have one common contributory cause – the uncontrolled growth of bacteria and fungi. Professional Bodycare Tea Tree Oil offers a unique solution to a multitude of these skin conditions because it is a powerful antiseptic, yet it is gentle enough for frequent, everyday use because:
- it has moisturising capabilities and
- it is relatively non-toxic when applied topically so it does not lead to the dermatologic problems associated with many antiseptic skin care preparations.

NB: The concentration and quality of the Tea Tree Oil used in skin care products is essential in regard to skin tolerance and efficacy. Professional Bodycare Tea Tree Oil products (Hand & Body Lotion 5% and Face & Body Wash 2%) have been clinically proven as effective broad spectrum bactericide and fungicide. No fragrances are use in Professional Bodycare Tea Tree Oil products. The distinctive scent of Tea Tree Oil is similar to Eucalyptus Oil and disperses naturally after a few minutes.
