More THANN Enough To Satisfy Your Skin This Winter

Blessed are those souls who are currently basking under the hot sun while lying on soft white sand beaches but we, in Canada and in other parts of the world not so warm at the moment, are under the frenzy of taking out our coziest of parkas, matching our mittens and toques and stocking up on jars of hot chocolate powder.

It’s those three to four months that yes, the streets turn into a beautiful dreamy wonderland and the air is crisp with winter breeze but it’s also the time when our skin suffers the most. From chapped lips to dry and flaky skin, our radiant golden glow in the spring and summer is replaced with dull, sallow complexion. But it doesn’t have to be like that! There are a number of ways that we can keep our skin not only looking healthy but deeply moisturized and protected against the harsh elements.

Here are a number of tips from THANN that will ensure you have gorgeous looking skin this winter:


Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

Hot showers and hot baths seem to be an instant relief against the frigid cold outside and they are. However, they can also dry out your skin and deplete the body of its natural oils. How do you prevent that from happening?

Firstly, instead of using scalding hot use water, use tepid water during your bath or shower. Secondly, use THANN Sea SaltBody Scrub to thoroughly exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells – this will allow your moisturizers or body butter to penetrate deeper and stay in your skin longer.

Hydrate and Moisturize


One of the best things you can do this winter is to show your skin the ultimate love and pampering. Apply nourishing creams and oils such as the THANN Rice Extract Body Milk, Rice Bran and Olive Oil Body Spray, Hand Creams and Massage Oils and of course, the world famous THANN Shiso Body Butter – this will leave your skin soft, and luxuriously silky even when the temperature drops way below zero.

THANN has a wide range of bath and body products that will ensure that your face and your entire body is prepared and protected this winter. All our products come in different scents based on the science and art of aromatherapy principles: Aromatic Wood, Oriental Essence, Mediterranean Floral, Sea Foam, Jasmine Collection and the Shiso Collection.

Come visit us at our flagship store today: 829 Bank Street, Ottawa, Canada or visit us online at http://www.thann.ca/. We have beauty and wellness experts who can help you with all of your body and skincare needs!

Mask Made in Heaven

Editor's Note: In our efforts to serve you better, our dear and valuable customers, we will be starting regular reviews of THANN products. Friends of THANN are loved ones in our lives who have tried our products and have something fabulous to say about their FAVE THANN items.

Review of: Shiso Hair Mask

A good friend recently lent me her Shiso Hair Mask to try. I am admittedly a little sceptical about hair masks, after many attempts and never finding one I liked.



I washed my hair with THANN’s Aromatic Wood Shampoo, hoping that I’d see great results. I am already a devoted fan of the Aromatic Wood Shampoo, so I was happy to begin my morning with that.

The first thing I noticed about the Shiso Hair Mask was the nice light smell. It was the perfect amount for a hair mask – not too strong – but enough that it was noticeable and certainly beautiful. I massaged it in (it said roots to ends) and left it on for about 15 minutes. It washed out easily, and didn’t leave a residue.

I lightly blow-dried my hair and went off for the day. Usually my hair is an unruly, limp, disastrous mess (at least that’s how it appears to me), but I honestly had a full 110% good hair day this day. My good hair days lasted me a week, and I am already looking forward to borrowing this product from my friend again!

(Or even better….adding this mask made in heaven to my Christmas Wish List!).



Sincerely,

THANN + #NOMOREBULLIES

Yesterday, on November 3rd 2011, Fadi Ghaby, the owner of THANN Canada launched our newest campaign... THANN supports #NOMOREBULLIES campaign.

We've all seen the news, read the blogs, watch the YouTube videos of hundreds of kids suffering as victims of the age-old crime of bullying. Did you know that 300 kids take their own lives every year in Canada alone. That is an absolutely huge number that is just completely unacceptable. At this time and age, when we think we've come a long way in accepting others who are different from us, bullying still exists.

And it won't just go away. Not without a concerted and active effort to get rid of it.  

What is the #NOMOREBULLIES Campaign?

After seeing too many stories about bullying, the Majic 100 Morning show with Stu, Angie and Trish wanted to do something. A victim of bullying himself in high school, Stu tweeted one day that "If he had to visit every school in Ottawa to speak out against bullying he would". The #NoMoreBullies hashtag was created and the idea was born.

How can THANN help?

We are helping to raise awareness for this cause by donating $1 for every new follower we get in Twitter. We hope to promote anti-bullying ways by exposing the truth  in all social media platform available to us. We hope to find ways we can all work together to eliminate such a pervasive issue in our society. We would love for you to join us too!

How can you help THANN?

You can help support #NOMOREBULLIES campaign by doing a few very simple things. If you are in Twitter, please follow @thannskincare. We will donate $1 for every new follower. Say hello to us in THANN Facebook and tell us you 'LIKE' us!

You can also be part of our #NOMOREBULLIES Campaign by sending us your photos. We will release a new poster every week until November 30th, 2011.

THANN Shows Some Media Love

Over the years since we opened our first concept store in Canada as the first ever THANN retail store in North America, we have been fortunate enough to get a lot of media love. Perhaps we should have been more diligent in sharing these media features/articles written about THANN with you as we haven't done so in the past. We hope to change that...

We have also been privileged to be invited to so many prominent events recently and we really should have shared those experiences with you. THANN has been, for the very first time, in the front row of Ottawa Fashion Week, Beauty and Fashion Gala and many other high profile events in the city.

We actually hosted, in partnership with TWENTY YORK STREET Fashion Website, a very unique event called #LIFEOFSTYLE (a separate post coming up soon!) - a combination of Fashion, Beauty, Skincare, Food, Music and Dance event at the very chic and famous Arc Hotel. 

Here are some of our recent media mentions, on print and on-line. We are also invited to make some TV appearances in the next following weeks as prepare for, what we expect, as our biggest and busiest Christmas season yet! We will share all these exciting moments with you so stay tuned!

On that note, we at THANN, would like to give back the love and show the esteemed members of the media some fun and pampering at our flagship store at 829 Bank Street, Ottawa! Promise, we'll share some of the photos and anecdotes from this very exciting event!





Hands Down for THANN

"Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain." - Carl Jung



The eyes may be the window to your soul but your hands are what connect you with others and to the rest of the world. It can give the gentlest of touch, the softest caress yet it can be as strong to lift someone in need. Oftentimes, we express ourselves not with words that come out of our mouth but by the expressions in our the body, the face and the gestures of our hands.

As resilient as they can be, the hands are also the first body parts to show visible signs of aging. With all the infinite functions are hands perform, isn't it worthwhile that we safeguard them from damaging effects of pollution and other external aggressors?

Hair Mask Review (Unfinished Draft)

Please provide better photo.

There is no doubt summer in Canada is one of the best times of the year! Compared to many other blessed countries in the world, we only get for three short-lived months of summer and sometimes, we even get shortchanged due to weird weather changes.



So, we head out to the beach, lie down on the sand and soak under that warm sun! Unfortunately, as much as that sounds glorious on any given summer day, it does take rather a huge toll on our hair!


I don’t know about you but healthy and shiny hair is pretty much the standard trademark of youth and beauty, no matter which culture you come from!


The damaging UV rays of the sun cause a number of problems for your hair: dryness and dehydration, brittleness, lack of luster, an overall look of dullness and worst, split ends! The horror I know!




Fortunately for you, Thann Hair Mask can erase all that and more! THANN Hair Mask with Ceramide Protein and natural plant extracts repairs and strengthens hair from roots to tips. This same protective protein repairs damaged hair and protects hair against chemical and harmful UV rays. Shiso extract provides benefits as natural anti-oxidant and moisturizer. Wheat Protein and Jojoba Oil smooth hair cuticles leaving hair shiny and bouncy.



With Shiso extract to provide benefits of natural anti-oxidant and moisturizer, use Thann Hair Mask as a conditioner after you’ve rinsed your shampoo (Thann shampoo *insert name of shampoo* highly recommended), leave on for 5-10 minutes or longer, and guaranteed - this ultra-effective mask creates a protective film over the hair shaft that helps keep its moisture, giving your hair its gorgeous youthful shine!
