Sometimes your current skincare system needs a boost to achieve that radiant and glowing skin we all see on our favorite celebrities. We suggest adding a serum to your beauty drawer so that you can intensify the benefits of your daily routine!
So what is a serum? Serums contain active ingredients in higher concentration to target a specific concern such as wrinkles, age spots, acne discoloration and more. Serums are a great addition to your skincare regimen because they’re able to address certain needs that your normal moisturizer may not provide. Find a serum that fits your skincare needs and apply to clean skin daily, allowing the serum to soak into your skin prior to applying your moisturizer and makeup. For more information on what serum to use, come into Oggi today. Our specialists are more than willing to help you achieve the beautiful and glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of!

We all want beautiful hair, so below are some tips on how to reduce thinning and breakage of hair (brought to you by our friends at Eufora):
- Limit multiple chemical services in your monthly routine, such as coloring and professional hair straightening. Reduce bleaching of your hair as well!
- Limit heat damage to your hair by lowering the temperature setting on your style tools when you can.
- Embrace your natural hair’s texture and reduce the use of flat irons and curling irons, which ultimately lead to hair breakage.
- Take a break from hair extensions, too. Hair extensions can cause unwanted stress at the follicles of your hair and can contribute to hair loss and breakage.
- Use the complete Thickening Regimen (seen above) exclusively for 30 days to see and feel thicker, fuller hair!

Summer is hot and humid enough that there’s no better time to learn how to embrace your hair’s natural texture! Retire the blow dryer today and keep reading for some great tips for healthier hair from our very own Cathy!
- Opt for a braided look! Braids never go out of style and are easy and effective to maintain your long hair in the hot summer months. They work on all hair types, too! For fine-haired girls, the release will create an awesome beachy-texture. Amp up the volume and texture with our new KMS Sea Salt Spray!
- For curly-haired girls, braids will help tone the wild frizz that inevitably comes with summer humidity.
- Use a leave-in conditioner like KMS Curl Up Control Cream on damp hair before you braid your hair. This will create a supple and manageable texture. If the classic french braid is too difficult for you, try doing a twist, using two sections of hair instead of three. If your hair is long, a hanging fishtail (also a two section braid) looks fresh and fabulous.
- If all else fails, nothing is chicer or easier than the classic bun. Hair “donuts” are available now in a wide range of colors and sizes, making having the perfect bun very achievable in under two minutes flat! Simply pull your hair into a ponytail where you want your bun to sit. Slide your “donut” through the ponytail. Fan your hair over the donut and simply secure with an elastic band.
- Summer weather can also wreak havoc on hair. Sun, salt, sand, and chlorine can leave your color faded and your tresses lifeless and brittle. You must protect your hair accordingly! Once or twice a week, use a deep penetrating hair mask to replace the moisture being lost.
- Also, sunscreen isn’t just for your skin – your hair needs it too! Kerastase’s Huile Celeste not only provides protection against the sun’s harsh rays, but it also keeps your hair hydrated and leaves a beautiful sheen all without feeling the slightest bit greasy.
