What To Do With Chicken Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
You know those hard bumps that appear on the back of your arms, thighs and your bum? Harmless, but irritating, these goose bump-like plugs often resemble acne and appear as dry, rough patches of skin.
Formally called keratosis pilaris, but commonly known as chicken skin, it can even appear as a red rash on your cheeks. The real question is what causes this annoying condition?
That answer is easy, excess build up of keratin in the hair follicles.
What’s not known is why. If you have a family history of atopic dermatitis, you are more likely to develop it.
But what can you do about it? Intensive moisturizing is key, even as much as several times a day initially. Look for moisturizers that contain urea. These tend to be more effective.
Consider topical retinoids to encourage the skin to turn over more quickly. We can help you there. Don’t forget humidifiers to increase moisture in your house, too.
Chicken skin is considered harmless by the medical profession, but we know it can be hard on your self-esteem. So take these simple steps to minimize its appearance and get your confidence soaring!

How To Know If Lash Tinting Is Right For You By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
On the go? Got allergies or sensitivity to makeup? Or maybe you just want to save a few extra minutes in the morning…these are just some of the reasons women choose lash tinting over mascara.
Here are a few more:
• Allergic to mascara
• Avid swimmers, athletes, or outdoorsy
• Mascara runs and it’s embarrassing
• Want to look polished but not really into applying mascara
• Have light lashes and want to enhance eyes without mascara
• Have short lashes and want to define them
And that’s just a partial list! If you don’t wear mascara much but would love to have a more polished well-defined eye without the hassle, tinting is a good choice.
It only takes about 30 minutes and you’re back to enjoying your life. You won’t have to think about your eye “makeup” for 3-4 weeks.
But what exactly is lash tinting?
It’s an all vegetable dye, and that means irritation around your eyes is minimized. That’s why we love it! There are absolutely no harsh chemicals. However, because each person is different, we recommend a patch test 24-48 hours before your appointment, just to be sure.
Women also love the added benefit that lash tinting is waterproof. Unlike waterproof mascara, there isn’t even the slightest chance it will let you down!
There are also many different colors to choose from. So get creative if you like. Relax and enjoy the experience. You’re in good hands with our solid expertise.

Sensitive Or Sensitized?

Sensitive Or Sensitized? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
“You don’t have sensitive skin,” the aesthetician said, “but your skin has become sensitized.”
And there’s a big difference between the two. Just like dry, oily, or combination skin, sensitive skin is something you’re born with. It doesn’t just happen.
Usually, sensitive skin people have fair complexions that flush easily or swell a bit to the touch. They may even get red or blotchy for no apparent reason.
That’s why skincare and make-up choices must be treated very carefully. Truly sensitive skin is experienced by a small number of the population.
Sensitized skin, on the other hand, is experienced by almost all of the population. Conditions such as low humidity, drying chlorine, harsh ingredients like benzoyl peroxide for acne, over-exfoliation, medications, and even aging, can cause a sudden reaction in your skin.
Avoiding the irritant, keeping the skin adequately hydrated, and using proper skincare for the season usually corrects the environmentally caused stress to your skin.
For truly sensitive skin, the cause is unknown. Each day is a trial and error strategy to keep skin happy and non-reactive.
Fortunately, we have skincare products designed to meet the challenges of both sensitive and sensitized skin. We can tailor what you need to your specific skin type.
If your skin is giving you attitude, calm it down with the right products and monthly facials to restore balance.

3. Can you afford to look tired and uninterested at work or in the public? Our eye cremes work as hard as you do.
4. Anyone 30 or over will benefit from a professional eye cream to treat the signs of aging before they surface. It’s just never too soon to start!
5. We know our products and we know you. We don’t just want to “sell” you products. We want you to see a difference in what you use. Can your drugstore brand say that?

What Are The Benefits Of A Facial? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Aaah, facials! What an excellent way to relax and renew your skin. But facials do far more than provide a temporary lift to your spirits and a glow to your skin. Facials work hard long after the “feel good” is gone.
Relaxing is critical to anti-aging, and of course, facials are known for that. But did you know facials aid in detoxification and reduce the amount of fluid that has built up in your body.
How? Massage.
Facial massage helps with lymphatic drainage. Think of the lymph system as your body’s trash dump. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get emptied very often, but it facials assist with that much needed elimination.
And it shows on your skin. Skin cells are renewed, reducing puffiness and sagging skin.
That’s why monthly facials are the foundation of good skincare.
Yes, get Elemis Face Treatments, Elemis Body Treatments and all the other wonderful anti-aging services we have available, but make facials the anchor to all your treatments!

Oily Skin Fixes That Work By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Do you have a shine by 11 a.m.? Already dreading what your face will look like by 5 p.m.?
We hear you! You want relief and you want it now. By now you know the oily skin basics.
• Use skin care products designed for your oily skin
• Don’t over dry your skin. You’ll just create more oil
• Make sure everything you use is oil-free
But when these steps aren’t enough, it’s time to add more punch to your skin care. Consider professional treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
Both of these treatments re-surface the skin, clean out large pores and help balance your skin. For home care, add in a hyaluronic acid product. This naturally occurring substance loves water!
HA attracts 1000% more water than its weight. That’s good news for your oily skin because water is what it’s missing. Continued use of HA reduces oil. Your professional treatments deep clean and re-surface your skin.
The results are reflected beautifully on your face!
