Hello Beautiful!
It’s nearly summer, the sun is out (as so is the sunscreen, right?!), and we’re all jazzed to chill poolside, get away, or otherwise bask in the change in seasons (slathered in sunscreen!).
As you’ve probably heard, tariffs are happening and impacting costs and prices. Unfortuantely, Firecracker Beauty Spa isn’t immune and due to overall cost incresases, some of our prices will be rising, beginning June 1st. (Not sure what tariffs really are? Follow the link to boost that beautiful brain with information!)
All Dermalogica product prices will be increasing a bit, but the continued super-high quality, makes them worth it a few dollars more.
Some treatment prices may also go up to cover the cost of the products used. It may take us a minute to update these prices on the website, so please feel free to ask.

As the winter months approach, we all love cozy evenings filled with warm drinks and a little bubbly at festive gatherings. However, it’s important to consider how alcohol affects our skin, especially during this dry season.
Drinking alcohol can lead to dehydration, which is detrimental in winter when the air is already dry. Alcohol acts as a diuretic, causing your body to lose more fluids than usual. This can result in dull, dry skin, exacerbating winter’s effects and making fine lines and wrinkles more pronounced. Additionally, excessive alcohol can dilate blood vessels, leading to redness and a flushed complexion, particularly around the cheeks and nose.
Moreover, alcohol can disrupt your sleep patterns, leading to tired, puffy eyes and a lackluster complexion. When combined with the winter’s harsh conditions, the result can be a perfect storm for skin issues.
To maintain that radiant glow, it’s wise to limit alcohol intake. Instead, consider hydrating alternatives like herbal teas or infused water, which can provide warmth and comfort without the negative side effects. If you do choose to indulge, balance it with plenty of water to help counteract dehydration.
A tailored skincare routine with moisturizers and hydrating serums can also help combat the dryness caused by alcohol. Talk to Leticia about hydration boosting facials to catalyze your glow! This winter, prioritize your skin’s health by enjoying alcohol in moderation, and you’ll be sure to shine, no matter the season!

As winter rolls in, the cold air can wreak havoc on our skin, leaving it dry, flaky, and lacking that healthy glow. To combat these effects, a solid winter skincare routine is essential, with a particular focus on exfoliation and moisturizing. Leticia can help you out with microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, and micro needling, as well as hydrating facials, and top-of-the-line products for at-home.
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells, which can accumulate and block moisture from penetrating the skin. During winter, it’s crucial to choose a gentle exfoliant that won’t strip away natural oils. Aim to exfoliate once a week to keep your skin smooth and allow for better absorption of moisturizers.
Following exfoliation, moisturizing is key. Winter air is often dry, and indoor heating can exacerbate skin dehydration. Look for rich creams or balms that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or natural oils (such as jojoba or almond oil) to provide deep hydration. It’s also beneficial to apply moisturizer right after bathing, as this helps lock in moisture. Don’t forget to pay attention to your lips and hands, as they are often the first to show signs of dryness.
For an extra boost of nourishment, try this DIY cocoa face mask. It’s simple, effective, and perfect for winter skincare.
**DIY Cocoa Face Mask**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– 1 tablespoon of yogurt (or milk)
– 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional for extra moisture)
**Instructions:**
1. In a bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and honey until combined.
2. Add the yogurt (or milk) and mix until you have a smooth paste.
3. If desired, incorporate olive oil for added hydration.
4. Apply the mask to your clean face, avoiding the eye area.
5. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
