Top 10 Things to Do in DFW Out of the Sun

The sun is out and summer is in full effect. The heat and sun are brutal on your skin, so we have come up with our staff’s favorite summer-time activities out of the sun here in DFW.

Movies

While we have all grown accustomed to watching movies at home during the pandemic, it is time to re-experience the magic of watching a movie at the movie theatre. They are cold, dark, have yummy popcorn and snacks and some even offer adult beverages. And, don’t stop at just your regular movie theatre, try something really fun like the Love Sacks at Inwood Theatre or the chic bar at Alamo Drafthouse.

Facials

Facials feel so good and really pack a punch in how you look, feel and overall present. We have a ridiculous offer on our popular HydroFacial MD for $100 this month only! This facial only takes half an hour and provides amazing serums that will last for the whole month. Facials usually contain facial massage that helps with stress and headaches. We carry more stress in our face than most people realize. Come see us for a nice hydrating relaxing facial.

Massages

Awe…massages feel so great. Not only do they feel great, but they tout many health benefits. They moisturize and rejuvenate the skin. They increase circulation and release muscle tension. They help with overall stress and anxiety, and they are out of the sun.

Shopping Indoors

We have been shopping from our couches for long enough. Get out and see people, try on clothes, spritz yourself with that expensive perfume. You remember shopping at the mall right? It also requires a lot of walking that is great for you, and if you buy enough, you can do a few bicep curls with your packages.

Bowling

Bowling is not what it used to be. Check out some of the local bowling alleys. They are party and a lot of fun for adults and the whole family. There is Bowlero, Alley Cats, TEN and PINS. They are in all things pretty affordable, and they are cold and out of the sun. If bowling is not your thing or you just had a new manicure, grab a soda or cocktail and just enjoy watching your group bowl.

Dancing

Yes, dancing does still exist post-Covid. There are many options for dancing. The most obvious is what most people think of when you hear the word dancer. That is indoors and fine. There are some of the best clubs in the country here in DFW for the night owls. There are other dance choices. There are dance studios that teach classic dance, hip hop, pole dancing, 2 stepping, ballet, and there are some great exercise classes as options – Zumba is one example or Barre is another. It is fun, it is great exercise, and it will get you out of the house and keep you out of the sun.

Casinos

Not in Texas just yet, but a quick drive to Oklahoma, and there you are. The air conditioning is cold, the drinks are delicious and the people watching is fun. And, you just might win big! Casinos are vast and require a lot of walking, that is good for your health. Most have nonsmoking areas these days.

Wine Tasting

Wine tasting is such a fun summer experience. There are numerous wine tasting tours in Grapevine. There are some tasty vineyards/ wineries in the DFW area. Silver Dollar Winery, Delaney Vineyards and Bingham Family Vineyards Grapevine just name a few. These are beautiful settings with interesting people and you may find your new favorite wine.

Gym Work Out

Gyms are open and are in full swing. If you have avoided the gym like the plague (pun intended), they seem to have received the memo. The gyms I have seen have more sanitizing stations and towels. Gyms are a great way to kill a few hours on the weekend out of the sun. There are too any benefits to list here.

Museums

Not into busy workouts and hustle and bustle, then try one of the award-winning museums and/or exhibits. There are too many to list them all, but some of my favorites are Kimball Art in Fort Worth, Sixth Floor Dallas, Perot Museums, Dallas MOA, George W Bush Presidential Library at SMU, just to mention a very few. Google it and go on an art tour in the city that may transcend you into another place and time, out of the heat and sun.

Top Father’s Day Gifts from SkinSpaMED

Father’s Day is coming up next weekend. Maybe this is the year to try something new to celebrate Dad. We know that he loves his ties and barbecue sets, but we have a little different idea for Father’s Day 2021. We have more men coming to the spa than ever and you don’t even have to be a father to enjoy our treatments. Our men’s favorite treatments are as follows:

Flextone - Looking to burn fat and build muscle, all while perfecting the look of your butt and toning your body overall? This next-generation equipment checks all the boxes by delivering cutting – edge IFEM (Intense Focused Electromagnetic) technology that induces powerful muscle contractions.

The technology induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary contractions-compared to doing 20,000 full contraction crunches or squats in 1 session.

The supramaximal contractions cause muscle remodeling of it's inner structure resulting in muscle building and fat burning.

The result: rapid body shaping, muscle strengthening and redefinition, and a toner physique overall.

CoolSculpting: CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that removes fat without any needles, anesthetic or scalpels. CoolSculpting cools areas of the skin to an extremely cold temperature, essentially "freezing fat", causing fat cells to die out. This is an ideal procedure to treat localized areas of fat, such as love handles and tummy fat.

Typically, you’ll see an undeniable reduction of fat in the treated area after just one visit. However, you can lose even more with additional treatments. The fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body over the following few months, leaving you feeling more like yourself again.

• Reduce fat, sculpt the body

• Real, visible results

• Consistent and predictable fat reduction

• Cumulative effects with re-treatment

• Biologically selective — only affects fat

• Non-invasive

• FDA cleared

Botox-Dysport

The use of neurotoxins and dermal fillers in men has been on the rise for more than 30 years, but men don’t often achieve the same results as women. To provide desired result, injectors must consider the more masculine features of men’s faces.

Men have certain characteristics that set them apart from women regarding neurotoxin and dermal fillers. Men’s skulls are about 20 % larger than women, and they have more facial muscle mass, subcutaneous tissue, and blood vessel density. Men tend to have less subcutaneous facial fat tissue than women. Men also have more prominent jawlines and chins, higher and wider foreheads, and their eyebrows have a flatter contour. Men’s eyes are typically larger than women’s but are smaller in proportion to their face, and their noses are usually wider than women’s.

According to a study published in 2015 in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, these differences effect facial expressions. Because men’s facial expressions tend to be larger and stronger because of their face size, they will develop deeper more severe wrinkles in certain facial areas than women meaning that it may require more product or different techniques.

The four most popular and effective areas that men treat are:

1.     Wrinkles on the forehead, around or between the eyes (11’s)

2.     Tired Eyes and Dark Circles

3.     Lines on either side of your mouth

4.     Hyperhidrosis, otherwise known as “Excess Sweating

We hear a lot of questions from our men but what we hear most is that they want to look refreshed and younger without looking like any work was done. That is our specialty!
