Is Your Skin Feeling Grumpy? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
It’s that wonderful time of year. The weather is changing and your skin is probably grumbling.
What can you do now to prepare for the colder months ahead? Let’s take a look.
How To Transition Your Skincare Needs
Take a look at what you’re using. Does your skin feel tight and dry after you’ve cleansed and moisturized? Then it’s time to swap out your warm weather cleanser for a more hydrating one.
Cool air robs your skin of its natural oils. Without these oils your complexion will become dry and dull. Step up your moisturizer to one that’s more emollient. This will help reduce water loss on the surface of your skin.
Add a hydrating serum to keep skin from feeling tight and dry, and to plump it up. And don’t forget to exfoliate! So many people think this step can be skipped in colder months.
Not so! Exfoliation clears away old dead skin cells that create a dull complexion. It also enhances the effects of ALL your other products.
Add facials! Facials work deeply to hydrate, regulate the immune system, prevent wrinkles, clarify and tone the skin.
And lastly, this is no time to skimp on sunscreen! Protecting your skin from environmental assault is a yearlong commitment.
If you need some assistance transitioning your skincare, just let us know. We’re here to help!

Three Sneaky Skin Saboteurs…And How To Get Rid Of Them! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Before you can say, what happened, these three habits have a way of sneaking up and wreaking havoc on your skin.
Let’s see what they are and what you can do about them.
DIY Facials- It’s so tempting to squeeze that zit or chip away at the edge of a scab. But, if you pick a pimple until it bleeds, you’re injuring your skin! And that can lead to scarring.
If you must squeeze a pimple, do it gently, Better yet, let us do it. We’ll handle that little monster with the greatest of care.
Sleeping with your make-up on. As much as we’ve harped on this, you should know by now that this bad habit not only ages your skin up to four days in one night, but it creates a breeding ground for bacteria. That means blackheads and pimples.
Even if you think you can’t wash your face before hitting the hay, consider a pre-moistened towelette to remove the day’s make-up and grime.
Hanging on to outdated cosmetics- If you can’t remember the last time you used it, it’s probably been longer than three months.
Toss it! Just like sleeping with your make-up on, outdated products are bacteria-breeding farm. Yes, we all love to save money, but a healthy dose of commonsense goes just as far. Mark the date on the container when you buy it. Better to be safe than sorry!
These three skin saboteurs are really more about time and lifestyle choices. They’re easy to slip into, and with a little effort, just as easy to slip out of.

This Snacking Is Good For Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
When you think of snacking, you probably think of junk food like pretzels and ice cream. But did you know that some snacking is actually good for your skin?
Eating every few hours is a good way to keep your blood glucose, or blood sugar, stable.
That means fewer breakouts, rashes and wrinkles. But what snacks help your skin? Those that contain fiber, protein and healthy fats.
Instead of opting for rice cakes or pretzels, which break down quickly in your body, choose nuts or hummus with a gluten-free cracker.
Strawberries with dark chocolate are also a sweet treat. But if the berries aren’t in season, just go for a small amount of the dark chocolate. Research shows that it helps us have smoother, moist skin. Plus, cocoa is high in antioxidants.
Nuts, which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, have the ability to diminish wrinkles! Choose walnuts, almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts. They are rich in omega 3’s and offer skin-plumping benefits, too.
Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamins C and A. Both are essential for healthy glowing skin. Choose sweet potato chips to help you get and keep great skin. The important thing here is to gradually move away from very processed snacks.
Initially, you might not feel as satisfied, but as your tastes change—and they will—you’ll find you eat less and look healthier!

If I Have Rosacea Is It Okay To Get A Facial? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
If you have rosacea, you already know how careful you have to be with any skincare products. So it’s no wonder rosacea sufferers shy away from facials.
Sadly, some professional treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion are simply too harsh for this delicate skin condition. Not so with facials!
Performed by a trained aesthetician, a facial will not aggravate or worsen the condition. Quite the opposite. Once your dermatologist has diagnosed rosacea and prescribed medication to help control symptoms, many recommend professional facials to further soothe irritation and calm redness.
And that’s exactly what a rosacea facial does. Every step is designed to cool, calm, protect and soothe. A direct benefit is a facial’s ability to rid your body of toxins, which helps your skin to function more efficiently, a real plus for calming such an unpredictable skin condition!
A rosacea facial will also enhance the effects of the skincare products you are already using. And did we mention how relaxing facials are? You have nothing to lose except irritation, redness, and inflammation.
