These Skin Care Ingredients Give Back! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
No matter what season it is, your skin craves moisture. Summer sun dries it up (and makes it greasy) and cold winter temperatures freeze it up!
To protect your skin all year long, we recommend these hardworking ingredients to keep moisture in your skin and to keep it glowing.
• Ceramides-Naturally found in the membrane of skin cells, these little wonders help prevent moisture loss. By using products that contain ceramides, you actually shore up your skin’s moisturizing defenses.
• Glycerin, Glycols & polyols-All members of the humectant family, these ingredients cause skin to attract moisture and bind it.
• Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-We love, love, love hyaluronic acid! This naturally occurring molecule absorbs about 1,000 times its own weight in water. And that keeps collagen and elastin moist, which helps skin look supple and youthful. HA is also excellent for oily skin that breaks out easily. It’s lightweight, non-oily and appropriate for even the most acne-prone complexions.
Got a question about skincare products? We’d love to hear them!

Carbohydrates And Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Carbohydrates are sugars that break down inside the body to create glucose, which is our primary source of energy.
Eating foods rich in carbs is great, but unfortunately, we often eat way too many of them!
Dr, Jessica Wu, the Hollywood dermatologist, said this. “In one study, volunteers who ate a high carb diet experienced a 20% increase in their levels of androgens (“male” hormones that stimulate oil glands and cause acne) after just one week; volunteers who ate a diet high in protein had balanced blood sugar and lower levels of androgens in a week.”
Also, carbohydrates interact with proteins in your skin. This stimulates enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, making skin thinner and more prone to wrinkles.
Balance carbohydrates with protein and fresh vegetables. Avoid the refined stuff and stick with whole grains for glowing, beautiful skin!

Is There A Difference Between Salon Wax And Convenience Store Brands? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Sometimes our clients tell us they try to wax at home, often with disastrous results. Most people don’t realize that waxing is a skill. It’s not as easy as it looks!
If experience is one-half of a successful waxing experience, then the other half is the product. Store brands are not always as effective in removing hair, requiring several applications, and that causes unnecessary irritation.
What’s worse, convenience store waxes adhere to your skin taking off the top layer with the wax, exposing it to possible infection.
Our wax does no such thing. It adheres only to the hair. You can imagine the difference that makes in your overall waxing experience!
With our professional salon wax, you get the added benefit of soothing agents to prevent inflammation and irritation.
Because we have been professionally trained and have years of know-how, your waxing appointments are quick and as hygienic as humanly possible without unnecessary pain.
It’s experience that pays you back!

How Busy Women Can Get The Most From Their Skincare By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We’ve got good news for busy women like you! No matter what you’re juggling, it seems skincare gets a low priority on the “to do” list because it just takes too much time, right?
Hmmmm…well, what if there was a way to make it simple and easy? Happily, there is! Taking care of your skin is as simple as 1-2-3.
Make sure you have the right cleanser for your skin type. Next, use a mild exfoliant once a week in the shower. That’s pretty easy, isn’t it? Then follow up with the right moisturizer for your skin type.
The key to keeping your skincare simple is to clean out what you’ve got. You know, the little bit of moisturizer your friend gave you for Christmas, but you’ve been using it for a body lotion because you didn’t like it for your face.
Throw out the expired stuff, too. Just strip your skincare closet bare! Allow us the honor of giving you a skin consult to determine what you do need.
We’ll make sure that what we give you fits your lifestyle. And that means quick, simple and effective. Yep, we’ve got that.

A Step By Step Guide To Exfoliating Dry Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
With dry skin, you already have enough challenges! Alleviating this condition with the appropriate exfoliant is critical. Just as important is the method for exfoliating.
Here’s how to get the most out of your treatment:
- Start with a clean, damp face. Do not apply your exfoliant to dry skin ever!
- With a pea size amount of product, use circular motions over your entire face for a minute or two. Make sure the pressure is light.
- Rinse off the exfoliant and pat dry.
- Add a dry skin serum and your moisturizer. You’re done!

7 Essential Reasons To Love An Enzyme Facial Peel By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Beautiful skin really isn’t about perfection it’s about balance.
- Firmness
- Texture
- Wrinkle resistance
- And skin tone
…are the great measures of beautiful skin.
One of the most effective ways to achieve skin balance is through fruit enzyme peels. This gentle but hardworking peel both nourishes and helps slough off dead skin cells.
What’s that got to do with younger-looking, more radiant skin?
The fruit enzymes in our Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial fight free radical damage, which causes premature aging. Then they actually destroy dead skin cells and release newer skin gently.
Because your skin is already a great storage house for enzymes, it’s a perfect match; your body understands them! The enzyme peel’s antioxidant power re-surfaces the skin reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
And the effects are immediate.
The power of Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial tames a multitude of skin problems. Here are just 7 essential reasons to regularly get this peel:
- Reduces acne
- Accelerates young cell renewal
- Diminishes scars and stretch marks
- Diminishes age spots and sun damage discoloration
- Thoroughly cleans pores and removes dead skin that may clog them
- Increases oxygenation for younger and more radiant skin
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial is so gentle and effective that all skin types can benefit, even sensitive! It doesn’t strip the skin because there are NO acids.
We can even apply it to your neck and hands. Give your skin the balance it needs and let your natural beauty shine!

Is There A Difference Between Sunscreen And Moisturizing Sunscreen? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Yes, there is a BIG difference between these two! However, both should offer full protection from UVA and UVB rays. Without both ingredients, the product is essentially worthless.
But which one is right for you? Let’s take a look at the differences. Classic sunscreen is usually waterproof, which makes it great for swimmers, and it requires very little product for full protection.
Sometimes it can be used as a make-up base but there is no moisturizing function. Sunscreens are often oily, sticky, and leave a white tint on your face. This might be great at Halloween, but not for the rest of the year!
Sunscreens also add an extra step to your skin care routine. Plus, it may be a problem for those with sensitive or acne–prone skin.
Moisturizing sunscreens obviously contain sunscreen, but they also have a number of ingredients to help your skin rebuild and replenish the outer surface. That’s a nice combo!
It also allows you to save a step in your daily skin care routine. Compared to classic sunscreens, the SPF function is often weaker in moisturizing sunscreens. The good news is you can make up that difference with your antioxidant serum.
Combining an SPF, anti-aging ingredients and a moisturizer for your skin type into one product just makes sense, especially for busy women. It’s a lifesaver and a time saver!

Nope, and they never will be. Over-the-counter products often boast of having ingredients like vitamins A and C, ceramides and peptides. But they rarely talk about the delivery system for those ingredients.
Think of it this way. What good is it to have a powerful racecar if you don’t have a skilled driver? You can boast of your racecar’s powerful engine and sleek design, but without the driver’s expertise, the car is nothing more than a showpiece.
The same is true for skincare. There are thousands of skincare rejuvenation products on the market. If they all worked as well as they claimed, we would all have the skin of a teenager!
Our products are not only active, meaning they have been proven to improve the signs of aging, but they have a highly effective delivery system as well. If you want younger, smoother skin, you have to have both.
We’re serious about skincare. That’s why we back it up with science.

When Your Get Up And Go Has Gone By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It’s the little things that suddenly make you grit your teeth…you ran out of milk. The kids are fussy. Your spouse is crabby. You’re sure that jerk co-worker is trying to weasel in on your project…
And all you really want to do is take a nap, preferably one about the size that Rip Van Winkle took!
If you’re routinely feeling tired even though you sleep well, but struggle to get out of bed in the morning, feel overwhelmed and exhausted, depend on coffee and soda to get you going, you may have adrenal fatigue.
Perched on top of your kidneys, adrenals have a very tough job in today’s world. As your body’s stress combat soldiers, they release the stress hormone cortisol, as ammunition to fight off the attack.
The consequence of continuously releasing cortisol into your bloodstream causes abdominal weight gain and adrenal fatigue, to name only two health conditions.
In today’s world, your adrenals simply don’t have enough ammunition. They were designed for short periods of stress like running out of a burning building or fighting off a predator.
But in a world where you feel constant pressure with daily demands, the adrenals ability to protect you is limited. It’s like having a handsaw to cut down a tree!
Dealing with adrenal fatigue requires you to reset your lifestyle button. As part of your recovery, include the proven therapy of massage. Massage restores balance to an ailing system, reducing the production of cortisol.
Massage releases chronically tight muscles and lets blood flow normally. It tames mental tensions, frustrations, and insecurities, the most damaging emotions we have, and so often associated with adrenal fatigue.
And that really good feeling you have after a massage? It’s working on a deeper level to re-program how you respond to stress, which in turn gives you a sense of wholeness and balance.
The only side effects of massage are a stronger immune system, more balanced hormones, more energy and clarity, and better health. Ready?
