Red Light, Blue Light, Yellow Light, Go! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
As far back as 1500 BC, science has documented the extraordinary effects of light for optimal health. But it wasn’t until 1903 when Danish physician, Dr. Niels Finsen, won a Nobel Prize for his health success with LED therapy, that it began to get the attention it deserved.
NASA also uses LED to treat muscle and bone atrophy in astronauts. In fact, it was NASA’s research that uncovered the LED anti-aging discovery.
But just what makes those lights so special, you ask? LED, or light emitting diodes, has different panels of light.
Red is widely used to stimulate collagen, treat prematurely aged, sun damaged or sagging skin. The result is more elasticity, suppleness and flexibility by increasing the circulation in your skin.
Blue light kills the P.acnes bacteria, one of the causes of acne, because it’s sensitive to this light range. Best for stubborn, severe acne, the blue light also reduces oil and oil production.
Yellow is excellent for treating sunburns, reducing redness and skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea.
The bottom line is these non-invasive, highly effective lights act as a natural anti-inflammatory in your body, which results in building more collagen and elastin. And it builds it fast—150-200% faster!
We have found that up to 90% of clients see a big difference in their skin challenges. Why not join them?

“Why Do My Nails Peel And Break?” By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Just like your skin, nails can become dehydrated. Instead of flexibility, you’ve got splitting, tearing, and peeling.
There are a lot of reasons that nails become weak and break. Sometimes it’s a medical condition that can cause it, like hypothyroidism, but sometimes Mother Nature is to blame.
Culprits like aging and menopause have been cited as reasons for peeling and breakage. Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin A, C, D, and B vitamins can cause brittle nails as well.
Trade in dry, weak nails for strong, flexible nails. Include regular manicures as part of your recovery program. Relaxing and hardworking, manicures promote the health of both your hands and nails.
We’ll care for your cuticles, trim and shape your nails, and massage your hands and arms. We’ll also massage your nail beds! When we buff your nails to a high shine, we stimulate blood flow and that promotes stronger, healthier nails.
Our nail technician will also suggest nail strengthening products to fortify and strengthen your nails. With our expertise and care, we’ll help you build strong healthy nails that make you feel more confident and prettier!

Three Easy Ways To Pack More Punch Into Your Skincare Routine By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
None of us has a ton of time these days. That’s why it’s important to pack as much punch into your skincare routine as possible.
But what if you want MORE results from your skincare without adding extra time? Great! We’ve got some “at home” solutions that will knock your socks off! These are chemical exfoliants that contain enzymes to work a little more deeply.
Let’s take a look:
Retinoids-This is a vitamin A derivative that sloughs off the top layer of skin and generates collagen, the skin’s elastic network. Collagen breaks down as we age causing lines and large pores. Retinoids bolster and revive your skin’s sagging network by reducing fine lines, wrinkles and large pores!
Alpha Hydroxy Acids-These are naturally occurring molecules found in fruit and milk that have been used for centuries. (Think Cleopatra.) Some of our clients prefer the convenience of an AHA to that of a granular exfoliant, which also helps with fine lines and wrinkles. AHA’s can be alternated with retinols for even better results!
Beta Hydroxy Acid-Generally used for acne, BHA’s help reduce acne without aggravating it. It also decreases redness, inflammation and clogged pores while refining skin texture. BHA’s are also great for mature and sensitive skin.
As you can see, these add more punch to your routine. All you have to do is apply it. And how long does that take? Literally, beautiful skin is at your fingertips in seconds!

The Myth Of Cloudy Days

The Myth Of Cloudy Days By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Nope. Not ever. Never. In fact, don’t even think about it. You do need sunscreen on cloudy days! That’s because there is no such thing as a sunless day. It might be nowhere to be seen, but 80% of the sun’s UV rays still hit your skin.
And that means an 80% chance of increasing premature wrinkling, age spots, spider veins…get the picture?
Car windows block UVB rays but let in UVA rays, which cause the premature signs of aging. And on snowy days? Those UV rays reflect off of it.
So don’t save sunscreen for just the beach or summer or when you feel like wearing it. It really is important to protect yourself all year round!

When The Pain Is Too Great For Massage To Alleviate By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
When you hurt from a chronic health condition, you just want relief. Medications help ease that pain, but they can also dull your senses and reflexes.
Massage greatly benefits each of these chronic health concerns:
- Back pain
- MS
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Stress, anxiety
- Circulatory problems
- Insomnia
- Depression
It promotes easy relaxation and the removal of toxins. But when the pain is so deep it seems nothing—not even massage—can penetrate and ease it, what can you do?
Fortunately, an advanced form of massage works wonders. Aroma Stone Therapy uses essential oils and heated basalt stones for deep pain relief. Warmed stones are placed on the most painful, sore spots of your body.
The heat, not hands, does the work to deeply loosen the constrictions. Then your massage therapist uses her skills to work those areas more deeply without pain.
The results are remarkable! You have far less pain, more freedom of movement and a calmer mind. Imagine a life like that!
