Do Eye Cremes Really Work? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
With more and more products available in the market today, it’s easier to get confused about which one to use.
Unfortunately, some manufacturers do sell items that are not quite effective. And this leads people to believe that skincare products are just a scam, especially eye crèmes.
The skin around the eye area greatly differs from the skin on the rest of your body. It is the thinnest and the most delicate. It is far more sensitive to pollutants, sun damage and allergens than the rest of your body.
One way to tell if a person’s skin has been damaged by the sun is that the skin around their eyes is extremely wrinkly and saggy.
That’s why taking care of this area requires more than just moisturizers. Eye cremes are essentially modified moisturizers, and for a very good reason. Because this area does not produce any oil, eye cremes have special emollients that are different from facial moisturizers.
These emollients soothe the area and have fewer additives than facial moisturizers. Eye cremes have also been formulated, tested and approved by ophthalmologists to be safe to use around your eyes.
Facial moisturizers do not have that stamp of approval. You may have noticed reputable facial moisturizers with warnings not to apply it close to the eyes.
Yes, eye crèmes do work. It’s just a matter of knowing which one works best for you.

This Chokes The Fountain Of Youth By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Did you know that the fountain of youth is actually in your bloodstream? Your blood carries oxygen, which is vital for cell renewal, fighting off damaging free radicals and carrying away toxins.
Without oxygen, your skin thins, collagen and elastin are damaged, creating premature sagging and wrinkles. You also lose vitamin C, which keeps skin soft and glowing.
Vertical lines form around your mouth and wound healing is much slower. Aging is quicker. Wow! Is it any wonder that we encourage all smokers to quit?
Even if you don’t see the signs of aging yet, remember, it can take up to 10 years for the damage to appear! Do what you need to quit this dreadful life threatening habit.
We have facials for smokers that help to infuse oxygen into your skin, refresh it, leaving it smooth and hydrated. Once you see how beautiful your skin looks, we’re hoping it will give you the nudge you need to keep it that way all the time.

Truck Drivers Prove That Sunscreen Is A Must By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Here’s the drill. We know you know about sun damage, how it prematurely ages you, contributing to wrinkles, blackheads, sagging skin and milia.
It’s one thing to know it in your head it’s another to see what really happens when you neglect it. (We know you never would, so please pass this on to a wayward friend!)
That’s why we’re adding a little drama to the mix. Here’s a former truck driver of 28 years. He’s 69 years old. Take a look at the left side of his face. Now take a look at the right side.
Big difference, huh? The left side of his face got the worst of UV and infrared rays during his 28-year driving career. This extreme exposure caused his skin to thicken and the elastic fibers to be destroyed. Now he is at high risk for skin cancer!
Thankfully, none of you will ever experience such a dramatic wrinkling. Because you get facials, use our high quality skin care, and exercise caution with the sun, you will never have to go down this road.
But in case you’re running late one day and you’re thinking about skipping your antioxidant serum and sunscreen, just think of our truck-driving friend here.
Slather away and love it!

Why We Chose The Alternative To The “Gold” Standard

Why We Chose The Alternative To The “Gold” Standard By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It’s true, we did.
For many years, laser treatments have been considered the gold standard in anti-aging treatments. But to our way of thinking, not everything that glitters is indeed gold.
To be clear, laser does what it says it will do. It will tighten, firm and smooth your skin for a much younger look. Our big concern was how this treatment got those results.
An aggressive approach to anti-aging, laser:
– Uses high power density and focused energy—wounding your skin by melting it to create more collagen.
– Takes days to weeks to recover
– Causes trauma and pain
Well, that didn’t sound much like a gold standard to us! Does it to you? That’s why we opted for the acclaimed and well-documented approach to anti-aging: LED Light Therapy.
Here’s why:
– Uses low intensity lights to reach deeper layers of your skin
– Practically no recovery time
– Uses the body’s own natural processes for skin rejuvenation
Doesn’t it just make more sense to work with your body, instead of forcing it, wounding it into a smoother, younger version of itself?
LED encourages renewal by gently lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating your skin. Just take a look at the results our clients are having.
With no down time. No pain. LOTS of gain!
Ask us about this Nobel prize winning approach to health, and now, a revolutionary approach to younger skin.

Instant Redness Reducers By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Redness to the skin comes in many forms. Rosacea, acne, flushing, redness resulting from sun damage or general irritation are just some of the challenges women face.
What can you do to reduce redness? Here are a few tips:
Facials & Skin Care: Excessively dry skin causes the endings in your dermis to become vulnerable to irritants, exacerbating the problem.
Get facials specifically designed to reduce redness. Choose moisturizers with phospholipids (we can help you there) and hyaluronic acid. Both are excellent for plumping up the skin and calming down redness.
Hyaluronic acid can hold up to one thousand times its weight in water. Just think of what it can do for your skin!
Cancel Redness With Color: Use a concealer that has a yellow or green tint to cancel out the redness. Make sure your foundation has a yellow base to help further even out your skin tone for a flawless look.
Add Redness Reducing Foods & Spices: Cucumber, ginger, licorice root extract, rose extract, turmeric and white tea extract are all excellent for fighting redness and bolstering the skin’s resistance to irritation.
Include whole foods, especially leafy green vegetables and fish. Sugar is especially bad for spiking inflammation. So cut it back then cut it out!
