These Two Cause Weight Gain And Make Stress Worse! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We all know that sugar causes weight gain, premature aging, and inflammation. That’s bad enough, isn’t it? But did you know that mental tensions, frustrations, and insecurity are among the most damaging emotions you have?
The two usually travel together. When you’re feeling stressed, you usually crave sugar because your body is looking for quick energy. That’s a double whammy for weight gain and creating poor health!
So what does stress look like from inside your body? Hormones are released that cause blood vessels to shrink, which reduce circulation.
Cortisol, a stress hormone, is released by your adrenals, and that causes abdominal weight gain. Your heart works harder, breathing becomes more shallow and rapid; digestion slows.
In fact, nearly every body process is degraded.
Yep, stress is a real killer. Studies show that stress factors can cause migraines, hypertension, depression, and some peptic ulcers. Researchers estimate that 80% of disease is stress-related.
In this fast-paced, competitive world, it’s extremely important to have a self-care plan to break the destructive cycle of old stress patterns.
Massage makes you feel good and that’s good for you emotionally and physically. Chronically tight muscles are released so blood can flow normally. Tight neck, shoulders, and back practically sing with appreciation!
These overworked and extremely tight parts of your body can once again move easily, flexibility restored.
This invaluable therapy also gives you a sense of wholeness and balance within your body. That translates to greater mental clarity and calm for you in your everyday life.
Include monthly massage sessions as part of your wellness plan. It will give more life to your life!

When you were in your teens, it was bad if you got acne. It was embarrassing and frustrating. But more so if you get it now in adulthood.

“What’s The Difference Between An Enzyme Peel And A Chemical Peel?”

“What’s The Difference Between An Enzyme Peel And A Chemical Peel?” By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
There’s a big difference!
Both are important and have their rightful place in the world of skin rejuvenation. The enzyme peel is made from fruit enzymes. It both nourishes and sloughs off dead skin cells, creating the perfect pH balance for your skin.
It also fights free radical damage, which causes premature aging, by removing the top layer of skin and exposing newer skin. Gentle and effective, even sensitive skin types can benefit.
We love enzyme peels because the result is immediate. It helps to:
- Control acne, shrink large pores, and remove blemishes
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles, as well as scars
- Age spots and redness both fade
Your skin looks radiant and glowing.
We recommend an enzyme peel to accelerate the natural exfoliation process. It’s great for anti-aging purposes, acne, and oily and dry skin. Stay faithful with your exfoliation at home and you will see benefits from your enzyme peel for a much longer period of time.
Chemical peels, on the other hand, are made from various acids, including fruits. They, too, fight free radical damage. However, chemical peels remove far more layers of your skin and may require some down time. This treatment is for those that want deeper results.
For example:
- The treatment of deeper lines and wrinkles
- Sagging
- Hard-to-treat acne
- Large pores, and so on
After a chemical peel, you will need intensive moisturizers while the old skin peels away over several days to a week. Chemical peels can cause skin sensitivity. Sunscreen is recommended for both treatments.
Once the deeper exfoliation is complete, you will see glowing skin with diminished lines and wrinkles, improvement with sagging and age spots, and large pores appear smaller.
So which treatment is right for you? Talk with our aesthetician. She’ll guide you every step of the way!

Skin Care Excuses That Clog Your Pores By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We get it. Almost every person on the planet is trying to find more time in his or her day.
So what happens? Skincare gets pushed to the back of the “to do” list. We hate when that happens! It usually means our client is on overload.
Taking care of your skin does NOT have to be labor intensive. See if any of these excuses sound familiar.
Skincare products are too expensive. Spa skincare lines do cost more than drugstore brands, and there is a reason. Spa lines are more potent and last much longer. Not only are they a better value, the results are quicker. Lose this silly notion in a hurry!
There are too many products. It’s confusing. There are a lot of products on the market. But that’s where a skincare consultation will serve you well! We can target exactly what you need, taking out the guesswork completely.
I don’t have time for a complete skincare routine. This means something different to almost everyone. That’s why we tailor your product usage to your lifestyle. We’ll provide you only with what you will use!
I’m too lazy to put on SPF everyday. Seriously?
Ease up a bit, okay? Put yourself at the top of the list where you belong!

FAQ’s About Galvanic Facials

FAQ’s About Galvanic Facials By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
What is galvanic current?
It is a steady, direct stream of electric current. The current is very low and causes a slight tingling sensation. It is not at all painful.
How long has galvanic current been used in the aesthetic industry?
About 100 years ago, galvanic current was successfully used to force water-soluble substances through the skin. The skincare industry began using it with excellent results about 70 years ago, and continues to use it today.
How is it used in facials?
Galvanic current pushes water-soluble ingredients down into the three layers of your skin, not just one, as with most traditional facials. These deeper layers love it because products rarely get a chance to reach this far below the skin’s surface. The outcome is two-fold. The current “awakens” and stimulates collagen and elastin to produce younger, firmer looking skin, and results are longer lasting.
I’ve thought about facial fillers but don’t really like the idea of needles. Could galvanic facials help?
Yes! Collagen and elastin slow down as we age. Galvanic current stimulates both fibers, waking them up, you might say, so that they start producing more. That means tighter, firmer skin.
What kinds of chemicals are used in galvanic facials?
None! There are no toxins and no harsh chemicals in a galvanic facial. We use water-soluble ingredients because Mother Nature is the most powerful anti-aging advocate we have!
Are galvanic facials painful?
Not in the least! You might feel a slight tingling sensation, but that’s all. It’s an extremely relaxing experience.
What kind of results can I expect with a galvanic facial?
Because galvanic facials use a low-level current that reaches into all three layers of your skin, results are not only immediate they are longer lasting, with continued results for weeks after your facial. And, if you also use our professional skincare line, Elemis, those results will be enhanced because it is an active, potent line.
What skin types can benefit from galvanic facials?
All skin types can safely use and benefit from this incredible facial, including sensitive! Excellent for oily, combination, dry and mature, galvanic facials are customized for each individual skin type.
What about acne? Can galvanic facials help with it?
Yes, for those with mild to moderate cases of acne, galvanic facials are great! Galvanic current softens blackheads, which makes them much easier and less painful to extract. They also remove blockages like whiteheads and clear congestion that leads to acne.
How often should I get a galvanic facial?
We recommend every 4-6 weeks. The deeper layers of your skin will continue to be stimulated, producing more collagen and elastin to counteract sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Monthly facials continue to enhance the effectiveness of your skincare products.
