Aren’t All Eye Cremes Pretty Much The Same? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
The short answer, no way! That’s like saying all skincare is the same. Can you imagine creating one product for oily, dry, or combination skin? Pretty silly, huh? That’s why there are different formulations of eye cremes to meet your specific needs.
Some are specially formulated for dry or sensitive skin. Others smooth fine lines, minimize dark circles and reduce puffiness. Some eye cremes will even attack all of those problems at once.
Talk to us about what you want to achieve and we can show you the best formulation for your needs. The important thing to remember is this: eye cremes must be lightweight and glide on easily.
Since most of us wear foundation and eye make-up, applying a heavier facial moisturizer near your eye area can cause your make-up to run. Eye cremes are lighter and melt right into the skin preventing raccoon eyes.
But what if your eye area is dry? Can you use oil around your eyes? The answer here is a cautious yes. Ophthalmologist tested and approved oils specially formulated for this area are best.
These are far less likely to clog the delicate tissue causing milia, or white bumps.

Snacking For Beautiful Skin

Snacking For Beautiful Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Did you know that snacking can actually be good for your skin? The trick is to eat the right foods every few hours to keep your blood sugar stable for fewer breakouts, rashes, and wrinkles.
What’s the secret? Well, for starters, do NOT skip meals! This just makes you tired and causes your body to store fat. When you finally do eat, your blood sugar goes sky high and your insulin level rises. And that means more oil production and the release of more male sex hormones. (In case you’re wondering, that’s a bad thing!)
Now before you run out and buy a bunch of rice cakes and pretzels, which break down quickly in your body, know this. The best snacks for your skin contain fiber, protein, and healthy fats, allowing you to maintain a steady blood sugar level.
Does that mean snacking has to be boring? Only if you consider strawberries dipped in dark chocolate boring! Include small packs of dried cherries and almonds, too.
Love your skin and it will love you back!

7 Secrets That Are Okay To Tell Your Aesthetician By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
“I just want a facial,” the woman said with irritation. “I don’t know why you need to know that.”
And there you have it. The universal challenge of every aesthetician on planet Earth: helping clients understand that facials are much more than a “feel good, look good” treatment.
Facials work with the largest organ of your body: the skin. Every medication you take as well as your lifestyle choices—even your emotions—are filtered through your skin.
That’s why aestheticians ask those pesky questions! The better she understands you, the better she understands your skin and how to treat it.
So without further adieu, here are 7 questions that signal you’re working with a professional:
– What’s your at-home skin care routine?
– What prescription medications are you taking? Any topicals like Retin A?
– Any health problems?
– Any adverse reactions to products or ingredients?
– Your lifestyle: Do you smoke? If so, how much? Do you eat a lot of processed foods?
– When was the last time you had a facial?
– Are you currently seeing a dermatologist?
There you have it. Seven questions that signal you’re working with a professional.
And remember, even if your esthetician has been working with you for a long time, she will still want to be updated on any changes to your health.

3X Brighter Than The Sun And It Won’t Burn Your Skin! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Pretty amazing, huh?
LED light technology, the highly acclaimed and widely documented therapy, is actually 3X brighter than the sun when it’s applied to your skin. So why doesn’t it burn?
Because it uses low-level pulses of red and/or infrared lights to activate skin cells, which is actually healing to your body!
LED converts the light energy already found in skin cells to promote healing and anti-aging effects. It also pulls collagen to the surface to fill in lines and wrinkles.
Studies show that skin exposed to LED light grows by 150-200% faster. The reason is simple. Your skin has a high blood water content. That means it absorbs the light, (in this case the color red) quickly increasing the natural healing process.
Strong enough to repair damaged tissues, but not to harm them in any way, LED gives you complete peace of mind. No recovery time required.
Very affordable, LED is also the best value on the market today. What’s not to love?

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.
