Beauty is only skin deep, but beautifying your skin is always IN. With summer flying by, now is as good a time as ever to treat yourself to a new beautifying trend -- and Bergen County delivers them all. Give yourself a little pampering to help revitalize and rejuvinate your skin, inside and out, with a COVID-safe beauty and wellness treatment. Here's what to know before you go.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extreme cold temperatures in order to receive a number of health benefits, including reduced inflammation, weight loss, reduced stress and alleviating pain, among others. A few minutes of cold across a set number of sessions is the best way to achieve these benefits. At RX Cryo in Paramus, use their full body cryotherapy services to detox your body and release natural antioxidants. Let Loose, with locations in Montvale and Closter, offers three-minute sessions to boost metabolism, improve sleep, improve skin and more. Revive Body Mind in Garfield offers whole body or localized cryotherapy, depending on your end goals.
IV Drips
Ever wish that nasty hangover could just magically disappear, or that you could get an instant boost of energy? That, and much more, is now possible with IV Therapy offered at lounges and through in-home services. All that is required is for you to sit back, relax and let the juices flow. At Liquivida Lounge in Paramus, nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are directly absorbed into the bloodstream to achieve maximum health benefits, including healthy skin, hydration, increased ability to focus, stregthening the immune system and more. Drip Medi Spa in Fort Lee offers a number of drip vitamin therapy options such as Fuel, Reset, Prenatal and Fountain of Youth. With IV Revolution in Montclair, you don't have to travel far as they make house calls throughout NJ. Choose from the Immunity, Hangover, Beauty/Skin, Weight Loss and more IV therapy options.
Microblading
When it comes to your brows, thin isn't in, and you may be spending more time (and money) filling in your eyebrows daily. This semi-permanent makeup procedure involves the use of a tool with small needles which, over hundreds of small strokes, creates the look of beautifully full, manicured brows. HeavenBerg Permanent Beauty in Paramus will pamper you and your brows with their microblading with shading services that can last 2 to 5 years. Endurance in Westwood offers less commitment, with microblade eyebrows that last 6 to 18 months, as well as Ombré Brows for a fuller look or oily skin, and 3D Nano Brows for older or more delicate skin. At Casa De Piel in Tenafly, top microblading and ombré powder brow techniques are used for a natural or bolder look, with touch-ups recommended to maintain the look.
Lashes
With mask-life still a part of the daily routine, it's very much all about the eyes these days. Lash extensions, as well as lash lifts and tints, open the eyes and put them front and center. Lash extensions can range in length and fullness depending on the look you want to achieve. A lash lift (and tint for darker lashes) enhances your natural lashes with a curl that makes the eyes pop -- goodbye lash curler. Supreen in Closter offers a number of extension options, including classic, volume and hybrid, as well as their Keratin Lash Lift and Tint for a natural-looking curl. Luminous in Ho-Ho-Kus offers lifts and tints that last 4 to 6 weeks for low-maintenance beauty, as well as a customizable set of lash line extensions. At European Lash Studio in Cliffside Park, choose from a classic set or celebrity set for a super dramatic look, or a lash lift for more natural volume.
