Are Carbs Bad For Your Skin? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Are Carbs Bad For Your Skin?
The short answer is, yes and no. Here’s why. You need carbohydrates for energy. Unfortunately, we tend to eat way too many of them!
It’s a two-fold problem. Breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, and muffins all tend to aggravate acne breakouts. 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.”
Secondly, once consumed, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, or blood sugar, and interact with proteins in your skin. This stimulates enzymes that break down collagen and elastin!
And you know what that means, thinner skin that’s more likely to wrinkle.
Balance carbohydrates with protein and fresh vegetables. Avoid the refined stuff and stick with whole grains for glowing, beautiful skin!

Where To Start With Sensitive Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It’s the hardest of all skin types to maintain. For those of you with sensitive skin, you also know that it’s maddening.
While the cause of sensitive skin is unknown, there are medical conditions like rosacea, lupus, eczema, or contact dermatitis that can create it. It’s easily irritated, tends to form lumps and is prone to redness.
To add insult to injury, sensitive skin can also be oily, which makes it difficult to reduce oil, and acne, (if you have it) without causing irritation. However, it can be done!
If your sensitive skin is driving you crazy, we encourage you to come in for a professional skin analysis. One of our highly trained aestheticians will gently and thoroughly examine your skin.
She will also talk to you about your everyday challenges with it, and take a look at what’s going on beneath the surface. In combination with her professional expertise. she will complete the picture of your skin’s true condition.
From there, your aesthetician can make product and treatment recommendations to help decrease sensitivity. You can save yourself a lot of heartache and expense by starting with a professional skin analysis.
*If you’ve got sensitive skin, we’d love to help!

But if not, it’s time to come in and get a skin consult. Let’s get your skin as happy as you are with spring.

Does Exfoliation Cause Dry Skin? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
In short, no way! However, over exfoliation does cause rough, irritated skin. That’s why we stress for you to be gentle with your home care. The harder you rub the product, the less positive results you will see. Instead, you will only damage your skin, and you definitely don’t want that!
Gentle exfoliation should be an integral part of your skincare routine. It helps to speed up the process of skin renewal by removing old dead skin, revealing younger, smoother skin.
Once or twice a week should be plenty, unless your aesthetician directs otherwise. Use circular motions, rinse thoroughly and then apply moisturizer. Remember, easy does it!
