If you have dry skin, we’re betting you’re a bit nervous about exfoliating. It’s no wonder. Dry skin does not exfoliate well, which causes it to look flaky, chalky, and just plain dull.
The skin’s “glue” is sebum, or oil, and dry skin definitely doesn’t produce much of it. What little is produced tends to solidify and stick to the skin’s surface longer than it should.
The result is literally patches of glued on skin cells, which you see as dry skin patches. If you do not exfoliate, you’ll find that the surface of your skin hardens and cracks. Over time, these cracks penetrate further into the layers of your skin causing permanent scarring.
If you do exfoliate, the tendency is to do so aggressively with a rough granular scrub to force the removal of dry flakes.
If you’ve ever tried this, you know it doesn’t work. Aggressive home exfoliation only inflames your skin and you still have dry flakes! Instead, choose a gentle exfoliator which has micro beads that also hydrate your skin.
Dry skin is not a condition to be taken lightly! Beneficial and highly effective skincare is the answer! Talk to us about a skincare regimen that works with you to relieve dry skin and make you look instantly younger!
And if you’re looking for even deeper relief with huge anti-aging benefits, consider glycolic acid peels. They, too, work wonders for dry skin.

What is the biggest mistake when it comes to exfoliating your skin?
The answer… too much pressure.
Yes, we know you want to get rid of those large pores, those nasty blackheads, and you want to scrub your skin into a glow worthy of sunglasses. But if you apply the force of a pressure washer to the surface of your skin, you’ll be doing more harm than good.
Scrubs are a wonderful way to sweep clean the surface of your skin. But more pressure will only cause irritation, broken capillaries and dryness.
The best way to use granular scrubs is to gently rub in a circular motion. This will safely and effectively remove the dead skin cells, stimulate blood flow, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and give you that beautiful, youthful glow.
Remember these tips:
• Thinner skin should be gently exfoliated once per week.
• Thicker skin can be exfoliated two to three times per week. But just because it’s thicker doe NOT mean rub it harder!
• Acneic skin should use a gel-based exfoliant. These leave skin smooth and soft without aggravating the infection.
Follow our advice and you will soon have beautiful, smooth skin.

Tips & Tricks For Exfoliating Oily Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Oily skin is so frustrating! Not only does your face “shine” quickly, this skin condition often includes large pores and blemishes.
Although you might want to scrub the heck out of your skin, please don’t! This only irritates it and causes flakiness. To really tame oily skin, you simply must use potent products that are made for your skin condition.
We highly recommend you allow us to analyze your skin first and then prescribe a treatment plan. And yes, exfoliation is a big part of it, but gently!
Certainly exfoliating every other day for very oily skin is appropriate, three times a week for less oily skin. This will keep those large pores from clogging up and appearing large, and it will lessen blackheads.
How you exfoliate is very important! Use your fingertips in a gentle circular motion, taking care not to use a lot of pressure. Remember, ninja scrubbing doesn’t work.
If you still cannot get the relief you want, consider getting a chemical peel. This will greatly reduce oiliness and blemishes. You’ll love how your skin looks and feels!
