Three Sneaky Skin Saboteurs…And How To Get Rid Of Them! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Before you can say, what happened, these three habits have a way of sneaking up and wreaking havoc on your skin.
Let’s see what they are and what you can do about them.
DIY Facials- It’s so tempting to squeeze that zit or chip away at the edge of a scab. But, if you pick a pimple until it bleeds, you’re injuring your skin! And that can lead to scarring.
If you must squeeze a pimple, do it gently, Better yet, let us do it. We’ll handle that little monster with the greatest of care.
Sleeping with your make-up on. As much as we’ve harped on this, you should know by now that this bad habit not only ages your skin up to four days in one night, but it creates a breeding ground for bacteria. That means blackheads and pimples.
Even if you think you can’t wash your face before hitting the hay, consider a pre-moistened towelette to remove the day’s make-up and grime.
Hanging on to outdated cosmetics- If you can’t remember the last time you used it, it’s probably been longer than three months.
Toss it! Just like sleeping with your make-up on, outdated products are bacteria-breeding farm. Yes, we all love to save money, but a healthy dose of commonsense goes just as far. Mark the date on the container when you buy it. Better to be safe than sorry!
These three skin saboteurs are really more about time and lifestyle choices. They’re easy to slip into, and with a little effort, just as easy to slip out of.

How Do I Pick The Right Professional Eye Creme For Me? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
The best way to pick the right eye cream is to ask yourself, “What do I want to achieve with it?” Do you want to minimize dark circles? Puffiness? Do you want to prevent future damage or fight the wrinkles you have?
You must also consider your skin type. If the skin beneath your eyes is oily, puffy or you are acne-prone, you will want a gel. A cream will just be too rich.
Although there are no hard and fast rules about eye cremes, it’s safe to say there are three basic types for you to consider:
Day cremes-These enhance the appearance of your eyes by de-puffing and reducing the dark circles.
Night Cremes-These help the skin repair and prevent damage while you are sleeping. Night cremes often contain retinol or AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids), which work best at night during the skin renewal process.
Standard Eye Creme-These are very emollient, providing needed moisture. They do not contain intense wrinkle fighting ingredients or de-puffing agents.
All eye cremes must provide some degree of moisture. They should be very mild since this area is so sensitive to irritation and contain no fragrance.
Just remember, any given brand can have at least two types of eye cremes and as many as six! That’s why it’s important to discuss with us your particular concerns and needs.

How To Get More Bounce In Your Step By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Every day, your feet take 8,000-10,00 steps a day. Most of the time, they don’t say too much about it. A hot shower and a good book will quiet their chatter.
But consider this. Even if your dogs don’t bark very loudly, they still take a beating. Why not do something good for yourself and your feet?
Make a monthly pedicure part of your wellness plan. Much more than a “feel good” treatment, pedicures actually promote good health for your feet. Clipping, trimming, cutting, and exfoliating all keep your feet healthy and fuss free.
To start, our licensed technician will ease those tired feet into swirling warm water, giving you time to unwind, and your feet a chance to rejuvenate!
And those calluses and corns that have been bothering you…they can cause you to place uneven pressure on your feet when you walk or stand. That can lead to the pain you feel in your feet.
We gently exfoliate those offending little pain wreckers, smoothing them down to size so that you’re comfortable all day. In fact, you won’t even think about your feet!
If there is one part of a pedicure that’s loved by all it’s massage. This deeply relaxing technique soothes both an overactive mind and energizes tired, worn feet.
Enjoy your service with us secure in the knowledge we take pride in our hygienic measures. Just ask us and we’ll gladly show you our routine for cleaning our station and implements.
Give your tootsies a reason to smile. Put more bounce in your step and much more life in your feet!

When you think of snacking, you probably think of junk food like pretzels and ice cream. But did you know that some snacking is actually good for your skin?
Eating every few hours is a good way to keep your blood glucose, or blood sugar, stable.
That means fewer breakouts, rashes and wrinkles. But what snacks help your skin? Those that contain fiber, protein and healthy fats.
Instead of opting for rice cakes or pretzels, which break down quickly in your body, choose nuts or hummus with a gluten-free cracker.
Strawberries with dark chocolate are also a sweet treat. But if the berries aren’t in season, just go for a small amount of the dark chocolate. Research shows that it helps us have smoother, moist skin. Plus, cocoa is high in antioxidants.
Nuts, which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, have the ability to diminish wrinkles! Choose walnuts, almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts. They are rich in omega 3’s and offer skin-plumping benefits, too.
Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamins C and A. Both are essential for healthy glowing skin. Choose sweet potato chips to help you get and keep great skin. The important thing here is to gradually move away from very processed snacks.
Initially, you might not feel as satisfied, but as your tastes change—and they will—you’ll find you eat less and look healthier!
