How To Know If Your Skin Is Gasping For Air By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It happens.
Life moves too fast and sometimes you just get caught up in it all. Next thing you know, your mirror is showing you just how neglectful you’ve been.
Ouch.
Dull, dry, flaky skin, redness, or even too much oil, are all making a play for permanent residence on your face. And are those a couple of blackheads staring back at you?
These are all classic signs that your skin is gasping for air.
The first thing you have to do is… (wait for it) TAKE A BREAK!
Your body just wasn’t made for a constant high-speed chase. Get some rest!
Then, it’s time to rid your face of all the strain and (ahem) signs of premature aging that stress causes.
That’s why we recommend Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Peel. Its restorative powers are immediate! Those lines and wrinkles that looked like trenches have now receded.
Gentle and extremely effective, it’s excellent for all skin types. Not to be confused with an acid peel, Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Peel uses fruit enzymes to dissolve old, dead skin and accelerate the renewal of younger skin.
Age spots and redness fade leaving in its place firmer skin and improved elasticity. Pores are purified, appearing much smaller. Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Peel deeply rejuvenates your skin because it penetrates the top tissue layers to amend skin damage.
Smooth out stressed skin, diminish the telltale signs of premature aging, and get your glow on, girl! You so deserve it!

The Dangers Of Washing Your Face With Deodorant Soap By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Give us a moment while we take a deep breath! It’s true that some women do wash their faces with deodorant soap. We know it’s not you, but would you please pass this information along to your friend?
Facial skin has a lower pH than the rest of your body. That means it’s slightly more
acidic. A deodorant soap, however, is more alkaline. When applied to your face, it encourages the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
It’s also drying. That’s why grabbing whatever is in the shower to clean your skin is not a good idea. The stronger the deodorant soap, the more it strips your facial skin of protective lipids and proteins.
And all that dryness? Tell her it really ages her skin.

Have You Got These 8 Spots Covered? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We know you’re diligently taking our advice and covering and protecting your skin from the sun’s fierce rays.
After all, there is absolutely no good reasons to undo all your hard winter work to keep your skin looking fabulous, now is there?
But there are 8 areas that get overlooked—and cooked—every summer. So we thought we would remind you to protect these areas, especially if you’re on the beach or by the pool.
Scalp- This is a common area for skin cancer, believe it or not! Use spray on or powder sunscreens or just a good old-fashioned hat.
Ears- Pre-cancerous lesions show up on the ears, especially on the driver’s side. Sun through a car window is stronger. Keep some sunscreen in your car.
Eyelids- This one really hurts when they get burned. The eye area is the thinnest skin on the body, so this is a real telltale ager.
Swimsuit Edges- Ouch! Apply sunscreen before you put on your swimsuit and give it a chance to dry first.
Neck & Chest- Basal cell and squamous cell cancers love these areas. Liberally apply sunscreen to avoid such nastiness.
Lips, Hands & Feet- Lips can be tricky to cover, but with a bodily internal spread rate of up to 20%, it’s best to be safe. Don’t forget your hands and feet, too.
Now that you’re officially protected, go have fun!

How Old Is Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Every woman aims to look younger. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Genetics plays a big factor, but there are ways to combat them.
How? It all starts with pH. When the pH of your skin is faulty it can create premature aging. That means your face can feel tight and dry, like you never cleaned it, and worse, you may develop acne.
If your skin is too alkaline, that can mean:
- It can be drier and more brittle
- Your skin is more susceptible to sun damage because the barrier has been weakened
- Your skin can become oilier
- You develop more fine lines and crow’s feet (British Journal of Dermatology)
When skin is too alkaline, it takes 14 hours for it to return to normal. And sadly, you’ve already re-applied the offending products so the damage never gets repaired.
What can you do? Let us give you a professional skin analysis. And no, we’re not talking about the department store kind of “analysis.” One of our highly trained aestheticians talks to you about your lifestyle, your current regimen, and any medical conditions you may have. (Some medical conditions and medications can cause skin challenges.)
She will look beneath the surface of your skin to get a complete picture, discuss with you what she finds and recommend the right products for your skin type.
You’ll feel a difference instantly and see results within a week. Schedule your consult today and know how old your skin really is!
