Wash Your Face Twice
Have you noticed your aesthetician cleanses your skin twice when you get a facial?
No, this is not a special method for skin care. However, it is an excellent practice for getting and keeping good skin.
This is especially true at night. Your skin works during the day by turning over new skin. Then you’ve got make-up, pollution and all the stuff floating around in the air at your work place and your home!
And, if you don’t wear make-up at all, that means you have nothing protecting the skin, so more dirt and debris collect like dust on your face!
That’s why cleansing twice is nice. The first wash is called a pre-cleanse, removing the daily build up of dirt, oil, make-up, etc. You’ll notice not a lot of suds form.
The second wash deep cleanses the skin, thoroughly cleaning your pores.
A two-step cleanse morning and evening is an excellent habit to develop. It helps remove excess oils, dirt and debris that your skin is exposed to overnight.

How To Eliminate Large Pores By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Large pores are tough to eliminate.
You have to be careful in choosing what products or treatments to get so as not to make matters worse. So let’s start with the basics.
Pick the right cleanser. Large pores are often the result of oily skin, sun damage and genetics. Opt for an exfoliant cleanser to wash away the outer layer of dead skin cells, leaving you with smoother skin.
Use Retinoids. These are not only excellent for reducing the appearance of large pores, but they also smooth fine lines and wrinkles!
Get the right moisturizer. Oily skin needs moisturizing too! Balance your skin with an oil-free moisturizer to increase hydration in the skin.
And finally, talk to us about our highly effective treatments that diminish the appearance of large pores, increase collagen production and give you a reason to smile every time you look in the mirror.

Diet and Aging By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
As we grow old, our bodies change. More nutrition is needed, metabolism goes slower, wrinkles appear, and so on.
Our diet plays a huge factor on how we age.
Foods that are high in simple sugars, carbohydrates and bad fats wreak havoc not just on your health, but also your skin!
Skin professionals have long known of the many benefits of applying topical nutrients such as vitamin C to the skin.
In fact, topical application of vitamin C has shown some impressive results in reversing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reducing inflammation, and improving the health of skin.
This is why a lot of skincare companies boast of making products that have vitamins to give your skin a glowing, youthful look.
But we know that it takes more than skin care to make great skin. Too much highly processed food, and sodas will wreak havoc on your health and your skin.
We encourage all of our clients to skip the bad fat, high carb diet. Choose real foods that add more skin glowing effects and health benefits.
The point is to take care of your skin from the inside out. Get facials and other clinical treatments to slow down time.
But choose to keep that love going when you pick up a fork! The treatments and products that you use from us will work so much better.

Home Remedies For Dark Circles By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Dark circles also known as ‘eye circles’, are blemishes around or under the eyes. They have many causes, such as lack of sleep, hereditary, or allergy-related.
If the discoloration is due to hyperpigmentation, light chemical peels can help. But unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Make-up and eye crèmes can also greatly reduce and cover up the appearance of dark circles.
And there are home remedies that can also give you relief.
• Cucumbers – This is a tried and tested solution! Take two thin slices of refrigerated cucumber and place them on your eyes for 5-10 minutes. The coolness will help reduce the inflammation and lighten the skin under your eyes.
• Cooled, Damp Tea bags. Tea has caffeine and tannins. These ingredients reduce swelling and puffiness under the eyes. They constrict capillaries and blood vessels which help in eliminating the dark circles. Make sure the tea bags are slightly damp; otherwise, they won’t work if they’re completely dry.
• Spoons! Refrigerate two teaspoons for an hour or two. Then place them over each eye for a cooling, refreshing result.
Once you’ve completed your home treatment, you can apply eye serum and make-up as usual.

These Two Cause Weight Gain And Make Stress Worse! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We all know that sugar causes weight gain, premature aging, and inflammation. That’s bad enough, isn’t it? But did you know that mental tensions, frustrations, and insecurity are among the most damaging emotions you have?
The two usually travel together. When you’re feeling stressed, you usually crave sugar because your body is looking for quick energy. That’s a double whammy for weight gain and creating poor health!
So what does stress look like from inside your body? Hormones are released that cause blood vessels to shrink, which reduce circulation.
Cortisol, a stress hormone, is released by your adrenals, and that causes abdominal weight gain. Your heart works harder, breathing becomes more shallow and rapid; digestion slows.
In fact, nearly every body process is degraded.
Yep, stress is a real killer. Studies show that stress factors can cause migraines, hypertension, depression, and some peptic ulcers. Researchers estimate that 80% of disease is stress-related.
In this fast-paced, competitive world, it’s extremely important to have a self-care plan to break the destructive cycle of old stress patterns.
Massage makes you feel good and that’s good for you emotionally and physically. Chronically tight muscles are released so blood can flow normally. Tight neck, shoulders, and back practically sing with appreciation!
These overworked and extremely tight parts of your body can once again move easily, flexibility restored.
This invaluable therapy also gives you a sense of wholeness and balance within your body. That translates to greater mental clarity and calm for you in your everyday life.
Include monthly massage sessions as part of your wellness plan. It will give more life to your life!

“What’s The Difference Between An Enzyme Peel And A Chemical Peel?” By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
There’s a big difference!
Both are important and have their rightful place in the world of skin rejuvenation. The enzyme peel is made from fruit enzymes. It both nourishes and sloughs off dead skin cells, creating the perfect pH balance for your skin.
It also fights free radical damage, which causes premature aging, by removing the top layer of skin and exposing newer skin. Gentle and effective, even sensitive skin types can benefit.
We love enzyme peels because the result is immediate. It helps to:
- Control acne, shrink large pores, and remove blemishes
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles, as well as scars
- Age spots and redness both fade
Your skin looks radiant and glowing.
We recommend an enzyme peel to accelerate the natural exfoliation process. It’s great for anti-aging purposes, acne, and oily and dry skin. Stay faithful with your exfoliation at home and you will see benefits from your enzyme peel for a much longer period of time.
Chemical peels, on the other hand, are made from various acids, including fruits. They, too, fight free radical damage. However, chemical peels remove far more layers of your skin and may require some down time. This treatment is for those that want deeper results.
For example:
- The treatment of deeper lines and wrinkles
- Sagging
- Hard-to-treat acne
- Large pores, and so on
After a chemical peel, you will need intensive moisturizers while the old skin peels away over several days to a week. Chemical peels can cause skin sensitivity. Sunscreen is recommended for both treatments.
Once the deeper exfoliation is complete, you will see glowing skin with diminished lines and wrinkles, improvement with sagging and age spots, and large pores appear smaller.
So which treatment is right for you? Talk with our aesthetician. She’ll guide you every step of the way!
