You Want To Wear Mascara BUT… By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Wearing mascara can really make your eyes pop. But unfortunately for some women, they can’t.
There are several reasons why some women can’t wear mascara. They may be allergic, they may not have the time to apply makeup, and the list goes on.
So if you don’t wear mascara but would really like to, say hello to the mascara alternative: eyelash tinting.
An all vegetable dye, applied every 3-5 weeks in 30 minutes or less. You walk in with barely noticeable eyelashes; and you walk out with well-defined lashes that have the beauty and polish of mascara…but without the hassle.
There are a lot of advantages that you can get from having your lashes tinted. You can choose from the various colour options we have to further enhance the colour of your eyes. It’s waterproof. And best of all, you won’t have to fight with eye make-up remover to get it off at night. Lash tinting goes to bed with you!
We highly recommend that you get a patch test 24-48 hours before your first application just to be sure you have no negative reaction toward the dye. We realize it’s quite unlikely, but we think it’s a good policy.
Dark lashes, blonde lashes, fat lashes and skinny ones all benefit from the beauty enhancing effects of lash tinting.

Showers and Skin Moisture By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Everyone loves to take their sweet time when taking a shower. Hot water cascading over your skin can be incredibly soothing.
But if you’ve got dry skin, it can cause more bad than good. Hot water can drain your body’s moisture, causing even more dryness and itchiness.
Instead, use warm water then pat yourself dry when you get out of the shower or tub. Follow this with body lotion or oil to seal in moisture. And lastly, apply your facial moisturizer.
For additional all over moisturizing, come in for one of our fabulous body treatments. The difference these treatments can bring to your skin is astounding.

Believe it or not, researchers estimate that 80% of disease is caused by stress. The very word itself suggests it, DIS-EASE, not at ease with the world. And you’re not alone.
The stress of work and every day living can trigger many health problems such as high blood pressure, migraines, back problems, poor circulation, susceptibility to illness, and many others.
Millions of people develop illnesses or chronic health conditions because of stress. How often have you said to yourself, “I wish I could handle this better!”
The good news is you can! To counteract stress, you must have a self-care plan in place. And while diet and exercise are critical to balancing the impact of stress, they are not always the most welcomed part of a self-care plan.
Massage, on the other hand, is the one lifestyle “correction” measure that people love. You show up with all your knots and tight muscles, and we work our magic.
But how does massage, typically called a “feel good” or “pampering” therapy help you to manage everyday stress?
Massage has been clinically proven to:
- Strengthen your immune system
- Reduce blood pressure
- Increase circulation
- Increases oxygen
- Break the cycle of pain
- Increase flexibility
- Decrease stress hormones
Because massage removes toxins and inflammation from your body, it gives your body a chance to slow down and heal. That loosey-goosey sensation you have after a massage is actually working on a deeper level to break old stress and pain cycles.
For you, that means:
- Greater mental clarity and alertness
- Speedier recovery from fatigue
- Aching backs and migraines significantly diminish
- Much less susceptible to disease
- Significantly reducing stress
Tip the scales in your favor…and keep it that way! Include massage as part of your self-care plan.

How Your Moods Mess With Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
That old saying that laughter is the best medicine is true! Your emotions play a large role in how you look and how others see you.
Of all the emotions that rip our youth to shreds, stress ranks at the very top.
Why? Stress stimulates the hormone cortisol. When you’re stressed it taxes every organ in your body.
– Blood vessels become more fragile
– Skin cells don’t form as quickly
– Cell turnover eventually slows to half!
Stress also causes you to eat differently. Do you drink less water? Crave chocolate or potato chips all the time?
Anger can also affect how quickly your skin rejuvenates and heals. Again, that pesky hormone, cortisol, takes center stage.
It limits the production of collagen, that great anti-ager, and you certainly don’t want that!
None of us can hide out from life. That’s why self-care is so crucial. Get a facial, a massage, ride a bike, whatever it is that calms and soothes you.
It will subtract years from your face and add years to your life!

It was an expensive product, but hey, if you could get results like hers it would be worth it! So you buy it and it bombs. Do you chalk it up to just another expensive skincare mistake?
Most women would, not realizing that it’s actually their skin’s way of sending a clear message: “This isn’t what I need!”
Skin is the largest organ of the body and, perhaps, the most misunderstood. That means LOTS of frustration for you, not to mention a lot of money down the drain. So what can you do?

Then, we combine expertise with technology to look below the surface of your skin. We can see:
- The depth of wrinkles
- Pigmentation—how much and how widespread
- Vascular color—yes, your blood vessels!
- Different conditions of your skin and their severity (oily, dry, dehydrated, etc.)
With this objective, scientific information we have a complete picture of your skin. Now we can confidently talk to you about skincare challenges, what your skin needs, and how to address them.
A professional skin analysis saves you a ton of money and frustration. Problems are quickly addressed, and many times, reversed!

Vanity As A Virtue? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
As you know, when you’re really young, you don’t consider the consequences of too much sun, tanning beds, smoking or drinking. Youth believe they are invincible.
So how do you get through? According to Dr. Michele Green, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, you show them.
“Young people are not concerned, for the most part, with their own mortality. The idea of ‘cancer’ seems miles away and not a consequence of their actions today,” she said.
But if you can show them that their actions are causing premature aging or wrinkling, young people are much quicker to respond. At last, our culture’s obsession with youth is working for us!
If you have a son or daughter that needs a little convincing of their own mortality, we would be happy to show them just how mortal they really are.

How To Know If Your Skin Is Gasping For Air By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It happens.
Life moves too fast and sometimes you just get caught up in it all. Next thing you know, your mirror is showing you just how neglectful you’ve been.
Ouch.
Dull, dry, flaky skin, redness, or even too much oil, are all making a play for permanent residence on your face. And are those a couple of blackheads staring back at you?
These are all classic signs that your skin is gasping for air.
The first thing you have to do is… (wait for it) TAKE A BREAK!
Your body just wasn’t made for a constant high-speed chase. Get some rest!
Then, it’s time to rid your face of all the strain and (ahem) signs of premature aging that stress causes.
That’s why we recommend Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Peel. Its restorative powers are immediate! Those lines and wrinkles that looked like trenches have now receded.
Gentle and extremely effective, it’s excellent for all skin types. Not to be confused with an acid peel, Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Peel uses fruit enzymes to dissolve old, dead skin and accelerate the renewal of younger skin.
Age spots and redness fade leaving in its place firmer skin and improved elasticity. Pores are purified, appearing much smaller. Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Peel deeply rejuvenates your skin because it penetrates the top tissue layers to amend skin damage.
Smooth out stressed skin, diminish the telltale signs of premature aging, and get your glow on, girl! You so deserve it!

The Dangers Of Washing Your Face With Deodorant Soap By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Give us a moment while we take a deep breath! It’s true that some women do wash their faces with deodorant soap. We know it’s not you, but would you please pass this information along to your friend?
Facial skin has a lower pH than the rest of your body. That means it’s slightly more
acidic. A deodorant soap, however, is more alkaline. When applied to your face, it encourages the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
It’s also drying. That’s why grabbing whatever is in the shower to clean your skin is not a good idea. The stronger the deodorant soap, the more it strips your facial skin of protective lipids and proteins.
And all that dryness? Tell her it really ages her skin.

Have You Got These 8 Spots Covered? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We know you’re diligently taking our advice and covering and protecting your skin from the sun’s fierce rays.
After all, there is absolutely no good reasons to undo all your hard winter work to keep your skin looking fabulous, now is there?
But there are 8 areas that get overlooked—and cooked—every summer. So we thought we would remind you to protect these areas, especially if you’re on the beach or by the pool.
Scalp- This is a common area for skin cancer, believe it or not! Use spray on or powder sunscreens or just a good old-fashioned hat.
Ears- Pre-cancerous lesions show up on the ears, especially on the driver’s side. Sun through a car window is stronger. Keep some sunscreen in your car.
Eyelids- This one really hurts when they get burned. The eye area is the thinnest skin on the body, so this is a real telltale ager.
Swimsuit Edges- Ouch! Apply sunscreen before you put on your swimsuit and give it a chance to dry first.
Neck & Chest- Basal cell and squamous cell cancers love these areas. Liberally apply sunscreen to avoid such nastiness.
Lips, Hands & Feet- Lips can be tricky to cover, but with a bodily internal spread rate of up to 20%, it’s best to be safe. Don’t forget your hands and feet, too.
Now that you’re officially protected, go have fun!
