Beware Of Green Washing Products! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
As natural products grow in popularity, companies less committed to product potency are riding the wave to make a buck.
These companies will make products appear natural even though they are loaded with preservatives and chemicals. It’s called green washing.
With the new scientific evidence demonstrating the essential inclusion of an antioxidant serum, ingredients such as green tea and vitamin C are added to every imaginable product.
The problem? Not all vitamin C is created equal, which means the product potency isn’t as beneficial.
Vitamin C is tricky to work with because it isn’t stable. Pairing it with vitamin E helps to stabilize this indispensable element, but again, it’s all in how it’s handled.
If vitamin C is exposed to air it can actually increase the formation of free radicals! That’s why antioxidant serums for $7.99 are not only a waste of money; they can actually age your skin!
Our product line is known for its purity and it’s commitment to skin care. You can absolutely be guaranteed of its potency. After all, the results show up on your skin!
Have you noticed how long our products last? That’s just another example of quality and purity.
You will never have to worry about green washing with us. Our highest commitment is to your skin.

Why Winter Feels Like A Never Ending Monday By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
In summer, we celebrate the endless days of light and sunshine. But winter? Each cold and cloudy day is just one more date to mark off on the calendar. How many more days until Spring?
Brrrr!
It’s no wonder that depression rates go up as sunlight and temperatures drop. That’s why it’s so important to take additional self-care measures to carry you through the cold season.
1. Increase your vitamin D. Sunlight levels are less in the winter, but get as much of it as you can and increase your vitamin D. It helps to increase energy levels.
2. Buy fresh flowers! The vibrant colours of a Spring bouquet add freshness and cheer to any room.
3. Wear bright colours. It’s hard to feel down with vibrant splashes of colour! It’s uplifting both for the body and the mind.
4. Exercise. Yes, indeed. Get that blood and serotonin pumping! It’s a sure cure for the winter blues.
5. Spa treatments are a must. What’s your favourite treatment for keeping your mood light and your skin hydrated? Make sure you schedule regular treatment times to keep the winter blues at bay.
There’s nothing more important than your health! And, as you know, we specialise in good health. Just another reason to put us at the top of your self-care list this winter.

How To Get A Flawless Bikini Wax By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Who doesn’t love a smooth bikini area? It takes all the worry out of going to the beach. It also gives your whole intimate area a cleaner more defined look.
Because bikini waxing can be uncomfortable, and for some, embarrassing, we go the extra mile for our clients.
You are draped at all times and we use a disposable G-string to add to your comfort. The G-string actually helps us to do a more precise job. You can show us the line of your swimsuit using the G-string as a guide.
This allows us to further tailor your wax to your needs. Next up is the wax itself. You won’t find this kind of wax in a convenience store. Our wax does not adhere to your skin, only the hair.
That means less discomfort you. And to further reduce discomfort, we apply a pre-oil to soften your skin and reduce irritation.
As seasoned wax professionals, we know that women are more sensitive to pain around the time of their menstrual cycle. That’s why we encourage you to schedule your bikini wax a week before or after your period.
Lastly, you can rest assured that hygiene is a top priority with us. We use only disposable panties and we never, ever double dip wax spatulas!
A few quick minutes in our experienced care and you’re off to enjoy your flawless wax!

Help For Acne & Rosacea By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
If you have acne or rosacea, you already know you have skin that requires sensitive care.
Harsh cleansers, alkaline bar soaps and alcohol-based products can worsen both conditions.
When it comes to cleansing, it’s extremely important to keep it gentle. Scrubbing the skin actually worsens acne, increasing irritation. Use a cleanser that’s pH balanced.
For rosacea clients, moisturizers containing ceramides and lipids are usually well tolerated. For acne clients, it simply isn’t true that you don’t need a moisturizer. Your skin needs an oil-free product that adds moisture.
Thankfully, more and more products have ingredients that work with symptomatic skin. Salicylic acid reduces inflammation and helps exfoliate in and around pores.
Active skincare ingredients are more slowly released through microsponges improving skin tolerance. To camouflage redness and pimples, mineral-based cosmetics containing silica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are wonderful for creating a smooth, matte finish.
Avoid heavy, waterproof make-up. These require make-up remover at the end of the day, which can be irritating.
Fortunately, there are a variety of treatments that also help reduce acne and the symptoms of rosacea. The best results for treating both conditions is a combination of clinical treatment, dedication to good skin care and topical medications.
We’d love to be a partner in your skincare treatment. Together, you can achieve smoother, clearer skin!

The 40-Something Skin Care Primer By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Yes, you can have great looking skin at any age! The biggest challenge is reconciling poor skin care habits from the past and overexposure to the sun.
But knowledge is power. Skin in your forties turns over more slowly and is more prone to dryness and fine wrinkles.
The good news is we live in a time where Mother Nature can be given a nudge, with the effects of aging even reversed!
Here’s how: Get chemical peels and microdermabrasion to keep the outer layers of your skin smooth. Chemical peels literally peel away the rougher outer layers of your skin.
With microdermabrasion, crystals wear away dead skin. Also consider IPL and laser for longer-lasting effects. And remember, retinol is your friend! It can be used at home to build collagen, fade sun spots and improve the over all texture of your skin.
Splurge on a good eye cream. The eye area is the thinnest skin on your body and often the first place to show wrinkles. No skimping here!
Don’t be rough on your skin. Baby it instead! Avoid over exfoliation. Once or twice weekly is plenty. Avoid using two potentially irritating ingredients at the same time like retinol and Vitamin C. Alternate; use one in the A.M. and one in the P.M.
Got questions? We’re happy to customize your skincare routine!
