Are Tanning Beds The New Asbestos? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Tanning beds have been around for a long time. We once thought they were the safer alternative to lying out in the sun. Now research has shown a direct relationship between melanoma and non-melanoma cancers with tanning bed usage.
Worldwide, health organizations are sounding the alarm; tanning beds are a number one carcinogen equivalent to asbestos. You can read more about it here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-04/nsw-bans-solariums/3811454
That’s why we offer safe, all natural spray tanning as an alternative to both to the sun and to tanning beds. With absolutely:
- no harsh chemicals
- no parabens
- no preservatives
- no alcohols
- no oils
You don’t have to worry about cancerous ANYTHING with St. Tropez. Feel good about getting a tan. Do it the smart way!

Is Your Skin Choking? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Life moves fast, doesn’t it?
Work responsibilities, kids, (if you have them), community involvement and squeezing in some “me” time…Whew!
And where is the first place you notice all that stress? Your skin!
If the mirror is showing you a different picture than you want to see, it’s time to make some quick changes.
Let’s face it. Stress chokes everything about your life, especially your skin. If you see these signs:
- Deep, dark circles
- Dull, lifeless skin
- Gray or sallow skin
- Blackheads
- Sudden redness to your skin
Girl, you need to pull in the reins fast! Not only does your skin need some r & r, so do you!
Even though you know the drill, it’s time to hear it again. Get eight hours of good rest. That’s when your skin rejuvenates.
Use the right skin care and—USE IT FAITHFULLY! Don’t let anything, including burning the midnight oil, keep you from this essential wellness habit.
Get a facial. Better yet, make it a regular wellness activity to keep you on the straight and narrow.
Exfoliate regularly to get rid of the dead skin build up; add vitamin C and peptides to combat stress, brighten, lift and tone skin.
Rest!

Why Manicures Are More Than Just A Coat Of Polish By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
For some reason, manicures have generally been considered a “fluff” treatment. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth!
Manicures are as beneficial as a full body massage, a facial, or a pedicure. And they’re also relaxing, which is so good for your body and your mind.
Regular maintenance of cuticles, trimming, shaping and buffing your nails, can eliminate hangnails and promote the health of your nails and hands.
Much more than a coat of polish, if indeed you even want polish, manicures attend to one of the hardest working parts of your body. From housecleaning, excessive hand washing, handling paper, and exposing your hands to chemicals, these babies take a beating!
That’s why professional manicures are essential. We can address nail conditions such as brittle nails, and suggest an effective course of action to correct it.
A manicure is not only good for your hands it’s aesthetically pleasing. You feel more confident and more attractive with a manicure. And that’s a good thing.
Make manicures a part of your wellness plan!

What To Do About Rosacea

What To Do About Rosacea By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
A baffling disease, one that is not fully understood, rosacea sufferers appear to process cathelicidin, a skin protein within the skin, differently than the rest of us.
Common features include redness, flushing, and prominent blood vessels. Commonly reported environmental triggers are the sun, followed by heat, spicy foods, alcohol and stress, as well as caffeine and citric acid.
Rosacea is hard on a woman’s self-esteem! Thankfully, there are drug therapies to ease and control inflammation. But the most exciting part is the inclusion of lasers and light therapies to effectively treat the redness and flushing associated with rosacea.
Pulsed-light lasers go down one wavelength and destroy the red cells. Intense pulsed light uses lots of light to destroy some of the pigmentation as well as redness. Multiple treatments of either therapy are needed, but they produce long-lasting results.
Believe it or not, the legendary W.C. Fields, American Vaudeville entertainer, was thought to have rosacea because of his large, bulb-shaped ruddy, oily nose, another characteristic of rosacea.
The public mistakenly concluded that he was an alcoholic! Today, if you have rosacea, you do not have to live with the telltale signs of the disease. While there may not be an answer to the rosacea mystery, there are effective, long-lasting treatments, and we have them.
To find out which one is right for you, set up a consultation today!

How Pregnancy Massage Helps Your Unborn Baby By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Pregnancy is such a special time in a woman’s life! Whether it’s your first or your third child, you want the best for you and your unborn baby.
That’s why pregnancy massage should be a part of your pre-natal care. It helps you with aches, pains, and decreasing stress. And, in turn, that helps your baby!
When a mother is stressed or experiencing some sort of trauma during pregnancy, her unborn child responds and reacts to it. Heart rate can double when the mother is upset.
Pregnancy massage reduces stress hormones while increasing the feel good hormones, serotonin and endorphins. It also stimulates the mother’s blood flow, which in turn delivers more oxygen and nutrients to both the mother and the baby—as much as 10-15%
The lymph system, your body’s trashcan, is also stimulated, increasing the elimination of toxins which is vital for getting rid of the build up in the mother’s body, reducing her fatigue, too.
Pregnancy massage also strengthens your immune system, which in turn, strengthens your baby’s immune system. With all these wonderful benefits, should you let just any massage therapist work on your growing and rapidly changing body?
We strongly encourage you to seek out a certified pregnancy massage therapist, and that’s where we come in. Our therapists have taken advanced pregnancy massage training, beyond the national standards for massage.
Our gentle, non-invasive massage eases pregnancy discomfort, relaxes you and your baby, and helps you to prepare for labor.
We know just how to work with your changing body to give you the emotional and physical support you need. Enjoy the tremendous health benefits for both you and your baby.

Why Your Skincare Products
Aren’t Working Like They Should

Why Your Skincare Products Aren’t Working Like They Should By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Our clients often ask us why certain skincare products either don’t work or seem to have stopped working. Here’s what they say:
• “I’ve always used this brand. I don’t understand why it’s not working any more.”
• “It used to work but now my skin looks thick, heavy and dull!”
• “What do you mean it’s not what my skin needs? I’ve used it for years!”
• “My best friend loves it but it was just a waste of money for me.”
• “Why do I have adult acne now?”
What women often don’t understand is this: Your skin has changed. That happens as you age (sorry!).
Does your skin feel tight and dry after cleansing it? Or, does it feel like you could wash it several times before it finally gets clean? The wrong products combined with cheap ingredients and fillers wreak havoc!
Plus, water levels in your skin drop off and your skin looks unnaturally thick, heavy and dull.
These are sure signs that the products you’re using are too alkaline. When that happens your skin’s primary barrier, the acid mantle, can no longer work effectively.
Your skin becomes more susceptible to damage—and that means premature aging and even acne! Well, we can’t have that.
The best way to avoid these insults is to have your skin professionally analyzed. We can prescribe quality products perfect for subtracting unwanted years and adding a beautiful, healthy glow. Our aestheticians have spent 100’s of hours learning how the skin functions and how to treat it.
Cool, huh? That’s why a professional skin analysis is so valuable to you and to us. We can offer with complete confidence the right skincare products for you.
