Do you despair that only the rich and famous can have gorgeous skin?
Do You Have To Be A Celebrity To Have Skin Like This?
Dear…dear…It’s time we had a talk!
Intense Pulsed Light therapy can make a dramatic difference in your skin and how you think of yourself. It rejuvenates, restores and smoothes out uneven skin tone, reducing or eliminating a great number of age-related problems.
And the down time is practically non-existent! Why? Because the light marches right past your epidermis, which is the outer layer of your skin. It then gently heats the cells of your dermis, the deeper layer of your skin—and that’s where all the action is.
Once there, the different wavelengths of light go after its target like age-spots or broken capillaries. While the heat is repairing the damage it’s also giving your skin an order: Produce new collagen and connective tissue! And your skin responds. (Nobody wants to disobey an order!)
Extremely cost-effective, IPL is not invasive and doesn’t carry the risks of laser therapy. So c’mon! It’s time for your close up!

Are Carbs Bad For Your Skin? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Are Carbs Bad For Your Skin?
The short answer is, yes and no. Here’s why. You need carbohydrates for energy. Unfortunately, we tend to eat way too many of them!
It’s a two-fold problem. Breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, and muffins all tend to aggravate acne breakouts. Dr, Jessica Wu, the Hollywood dermatologist, said this. “In one study, volunteers who ate a high carb diet experienced a 20% increase in their levels of androgens (“male” hormones that stimulate oil glands and cause acne) after just one week; volunteers who ate a diet high in protein had balanced blood sugar and lower levels of androgens in a week.”
Secondly, once consumed, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, or blood sugar, and interact with proteins in your skin. This stimulates enzymes that break down collagen and elastin!
And you know what that means, thinner skin that’s more likely to wrinkle.
Balance carbohydrates with protein and fresh vegetables. Avoid the refined stuff and stick with whole grains for glowing, beautiful skin!

Where To Start With Sensitive Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It’s the hardest of all skin types to maintain. For those of you with sensitive skin, you also know that it’s maddening.
While the cause of sensitive skin is unknown, there are medical conditions like rosacea, lupus, eczema, or contact dermatitis that can create it. It’s easily irritated, tends to form lumps and is prone to redness.
To add insult to injury, sensitive skin can also be oily, which makes it difficult to reduce oil, and acne, (if you have it) without causing irritation. However, it can be done!
If your sensitive skin is driving you crazy, we encourage you to come in for a professional skin analysis. One of our highly trained aestheticians will gently and thoroughly examine your skin.
She will also talk to you about your everyday challenges with it, and take a look at what’s going on beneath the surface. In combination with her professional expertise. she will complete the picture of your skin’s true condition.
From there, your aesthetician can make product and treatment recommendations to help decrease sensitivity. You can save yourself a lot of heartache and expense by starting with a professional skin analysis.
*If you’ve got sensitive skin, we’d love to help!

Did you use just baby oil when you were young and baking in the sun? A lot of us did! Now we’re paying the price. But what if you could have a treatment that addressed not just one, but many problems associated with over exposure to the sun.
Problems like:
- age spots, melasma, pregnancy mask
- sun-induced freckles
- broken capillaries
- flushing
and
- unsightly veins
- acne scarring
- symptoms of rosacea
Ta Da! That’s why Intense Pulsed Light therapy is the gold standard for photorejuvenation, or sun-damaged skin. But as you can see from the list, it also goes beyond sun damage.
And there is one more HUGE plus with IPL. While it’s erasing much of the damage from your youth, it’s also hard at work building NEW collagen for firmer, younger skin. This is a multi-tasking treatment, for sure!
So win the battle against the baby oil tanning syndrome of your youth! Call for a consultation today!
