How “Mild” Soaps Wreck Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Your skin is a work of art!
It has been specially designed by Mother Nature with several different acids to make sure that nasty bacteria are not absorbed.
That’s why it’s so important to have the right kind of cleanser for your skin type. So-called mild skin care soaps are more alkaline.
These really dry out your skin, compromising its ability to effectively do its job.
What Is pH Balanced?
Soap manufacturers will often label a product as “pH balanced.” But what is the pH? Unless that information is given, the claim is just a marketing ploy.
It’s like saying your automobile gets good gas mileage. Well, what exactly is good gas mileage?
Too much acidity or alkalinity can disrupt the acid mantle, (your skin’s barrier) causing it to be much more susceptible to damage and dryness.
This is also true with hand soaps. That’s why your hands dry out after use. Your cleanser needs to be alkaline enough to remove dirt and make-up, but not cause dryness.
Skin is ever changing. That means that as you age, the pH changes, too. Some skin conditions actually raise the level of alkalinity, like eczema and dermatitis. That’s where we come in!
If you feel your skin care just isn’t performing the way it used to, it’s time to get a professional skin analysis with us.
Our highly trained aestheticians will match the right cleanser for your skin type. And that means balanced and glowing skin!

The Secret To Turning Up Your Skin’s Glow By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Because your skin is greatly affected by the seasons, you have to give it what it needs for each season of the year. As a result, your home care may change to accommodate those needs.
Think of it this way. You don’t wear winter clothes in the summer. So why would you use the same skin care regimen all year long?
It just makes sense. Turn up your skin’s glow regardless of the season—and get rid of dull, sun damaged skin, too—with luscious skin care treatments designed to plump up and hydrate your skin without making it feel greasy.
Talk to us about facials. And consider using retinoids as part of your home care. Keep pores clear and skin smoother.
Mild chemical peels exfoliate dull, dry summer skin, accelerating new skin growth. And that turns up your glow.
Think Intense Pulsed Light treatments to fade brown spots and laser to tighten skin that was over exposed to the sun. There’s just so much you can do to keep your skin glowing year round.
Prune face be gone! We just won’t have it! Got questions? We’re here to help.

Are Tanning Beds The New Asbestos? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Tanning beds have been around for a long time. We once thought they were the safer alternative to lying out in the sun. Now research has shown a direct relationship between melanoma and non-melanoma cancers with tanning bed usage.
Worldwide, health organizations are sounding the alarm; tanning beds are a number one carcinogen equivalent to asbestos. You can read more about it here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-04/nsw-bans-solariums/3811454

Is Your Skin Choking? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Life moves fast, doesn’t it?
Work responsibilities, kids, (if you have them), community involvement and squeezing in some “me” time…Whew!
And where is the first place you notice all that stress? Your skin!
If the mirror is showing you a different picture than you want to see, it’s time to make some quick changes.
Let’s face it. Stress chokes everything about your life, especially your skin. If you see these signs:
- Deep, dark circles
- Dull, lifeless skin
- Gray or sallow skin
- Blackheads
- Sudden redness to your skin
Girl, you need to pull in the reins fast! Not only does your skin need some r & r, so do you!
Even though you know the drill, it’s time to hear it again. Get eight hours of good rest. That’s when your skin rejuvenates.
Use the right skin care and—USE IT FAITHFULLY! Don’t let anything, including burning the midnight oil, keep you from this essential wellness habit.
Get a facial. Better yet, make it a regular wellness activity to keep you on the straight and narrow.
Exfoliate regularly to get rid of the dead skin build up; add vitamin C and peptides to combat stress, brighten, lift and tone skin.
Rest!

Why Manicures Are More Than Just A Coat Of Polish By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
For some reason, manicures have generally been considered a “fluff” treatment. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth!
Manicures are as beneficial as a full body massage, a facial, or a pedicure. And they’re also relaxing, which is so good for your body and your mind.
Regular maintenance of cuticles, trimming, shaping and buffing your nails, can eliminate hangnails and promote the health of your nails and hands.
Much more than a coat of polish, if indeed you even want polish, manicures attend to one of the hardest working parts of your body. From housecleaning, excessive hand washing, handling paper, and exposing your hands to chemicals, these babies take a beating!
That’s why professional manicures are essential. We can address nail conditions such as brittle nails, and suggest an effective course of action to correct it.
A manicure is not only good for your hands it’s aesthetically pleasing. You feel more confident and more attractive with a manicure. And that’s a good thing.
Make manicures a part of your wellness plan!
