Hidden Causes Of Acne By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Having skin prone to acne means you have to put skincare in your top priority. Acne-prone skin has four to five times more skin cells than other skin types. This means you have to be careful with the products you use.
Various styling products have oil, silicones and plasticizers. They can easily clog your pores if they get on your skin. So make sure you avoid these hair products.
Certain habits can also be a cause of acne without you even knowing it.
Outdated makeup and dirty tools are breeding grounds for bacteria. Do you remember the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? Every time you use them, you’re simply allowing the combination of bacteria and dead skin cells to create zits on your face.
And there’s also smoking. Researchers at the Gallicano Dermatological Institute in Rome identified non-inflammatory acne to be common among frequent smokers. They also found that teenaged acne smokers were four to five times more likely than non-smokers to have adult acne.
In order to beat acne, be informed about the problem, the possible causes and how to solve it.

How To Get Your Skin To Take A Deep Breath! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Sun, fun, and getting tipsy are all part of the summer time. That also means it places additional stress on your skin.
Dehydration, dead skin build up and breakouts can be particularly troublesome causing your skin to lose its glow, and dare we say, add a few lines and wrinkles?
Well, we can’t let a fun time of year do that! First, we recommend that you take time to breathe! Stress can cause you to breathe very shallow, and that means dull skin.
Next, get a series of facials that infuse oxygen into your skin. This little miracle worker works wonders!
Oxygen fights those nasty free radicals that sun exposure, stress, and aging produce. It also plumps up your skin so that it looks and feels smoother.
Our oxygen facials also infuse your skin with vitamins and minerals, which help to protect and actually improve the look of your skin.
While on the beach or by the pool, enjoy it with antioxidant, sunscreen protection, and a hat please.
Then schedule regular oxygen facials to counteract the sun’s aging effects. (There’s absolutely no reason to look like a prune face!)
These remarkable treatments book up quickly so don’t wait–book now!

How To Solve The Biggest Problem
With Oily Skin

How To Solve The Biggest Problem With Oily Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
The biggest problem with oily skin is the grease and you don’t like using moisturizers because you think they will only add more oil.
The reason your skin gets greasy is because it doesn’t have enough water in it. And this results to the oil slick on your face.
However, there is one product that might make you do a complete 180. It can dramatically reduce oil and give you the relief you need without drying out your skin. The product is called Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is a perfect match for oily skin types.
The reason is that HA is a naturally occurring compound in your body. It ensures proper bodily moisture.
The benefits of regularly using an HA product are:
- Helps normalize your skin’s moisture balance–that means better control over the oil your skin produces.
- Keeps your face from looking shiny
- Helps reduce acne-prone skin
Hyaluronic acid paired with aloe vera is even better. It soothes your skin while HA hydrates your thirsty skin.

How Does IPL Hair Removal Work? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
What’s it really like to remove that pesky hair with IPL? Well, here’s the lowdown.
Before treatment, you should not wax, epilate, pluck, or bleach the area for at least 6 weeks prior to treatment. These treatments remove the hair root, and you don’t want that.
Do shave at least 1-2 days prior to your session. Shaving allows the IPL wavelengths to target the hair follicle and not waste any energy on the hair above the skin’s surface.
IPL light is absorbed by the hair pigment, effectively destroying the hair shaft. The best results with IPL are seen with dark, coarse hair and light skin tones. With this color contrast, the IPL wavelengths “see” the dark pigment and destroy it.
How can you tell if the treatment is successful? Sometimes, but not always, the hair color can become charcoal black and expand in size. Or, you may see a ring around each follicle a few minutes after the treatment.
These are all good signs that the heat was sufficient for killing the hair root. However, this is not always seen!
A cooling gel is used to make the treatment more comfortable. Sessions are generally quick. An upper lip takes just a minute, while underarms take about 5 minutes, and bikini areas take 10 minutes or so. For back, chest, and legs, it usually takes about an hour.
The really interesting part happens somewhere between 1-3 weeks after treatment. It will look like the hair is growing back! It isn’t, of course; the heat from the IPL wavelengths kill hair roots.
But those unwanted hairs remain in the skin. It’s not unusual for them to become attached to your epidermis. Then, as your epidermis renews itself, turning over new skin, the hair emerges and falls out. (We suggest a celebration.)
You can also exfoliate the area to speed up the process. Once the hair has shed, you will experience a hair free period for several weeks. When new hair grows in, it’s time for another session. For most people, that’s between 8-12 weeks.
Most clients see up to 90% permanent hair reduction in 3-5 sessions! Cost-effective and quick with only minor discomfort, IPL eliminates a lifetime of unwanted hair.

They don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing, now do they? Sleep is essential not only for a good quality life, but also for your skin.
While you’re sleeping, your body is taking advantage of your down time. Cell production and metabolic rate both increase, allowing the repair of damaged skin. Your body temperature also rises slightly, which means that your skincare products are absorbed easier.
That’s why it’s so important to thoroughly cleanse your skin at night and apply products designed to accelerate skin renewal for younger-looking skin. We recommend a topical retinoid product clinically proven to smooth fine lines and stimulate collagen. It’s a perfect compliment to your nighttime regimen.
Remember to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid salty foods, especially before bedtime. They cause you to retain water and dehydrate the skin. Go for a high protein dinner and drink 6-8 glasses of water daily.
Beauty is a partnership, and we’re glad to be your partner in all things beauty!
