Beauty Tips To Take To Bed By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
You’ve been working hard and you’re just plain tired. Now the comfort of your bed is calling to you. ZZZZZZZZ…
Before you fall into dreamland, please do these four simple, quick steps. You can do them in under 5 minutes!
Get rid of the day’s make-up, pollution, dirt and stress—wash your face. But please use the cleanser that’s right for your skin.
Avoiding this one step grinds make-up into your skin, causing breakouts, stretching pores, and aging you.
Add a Vitamin A product. Over time, collagen production in your skin decreases. If it didn’t, you would never get a wrinkle! Your pores would stay small, you’d never get a scar, and your skin would stay tight.
Just take a quick 10 seconds and apply. It helps to stimulate collagen production and slow down Father Time.
Lastly, dot on our anti-aging eye crème. Your eye area has the thinnest skin on your body. You must protect it! Eye cremes have vitamins that repair skin and lighten dark circles.
Apply moisturizer and hit the hay! All done in under 5 minutes.
Now you’ll sleep better!

Three Easy Ways To Pack More Punch Into Your Skincare Routine By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
None of us has a ton of time these days. That’s why it’s important to pack as much punch into your skincare routine as possible.
But what if you want MORE results from your skincare without adding extra time? Great! We’ve got some “at home” solutions that will knock your socks off! These are chemical exfoliants that contain enzymes to work a little more deeply.
Let’s take a look:
Retinoids-This is a vitamin A derivative that sloughs off the top layer of skin and generates collagen, the skin’s elastic network. Collagen breaks down as we age causing lines and large pores. Retinoids bolster and revive your skin’s sagging network by reducing fine lines, wrinkles and large pores!
Alpha Hydroxy Acids-These are naturally occurring molecules found in fruit and milk that have been used for centuries. (Think Cleopatra.) Some of our clients prefer the convenience of an AHA to that of a granular exfoliant, which also helps with fine lines and wrinkles. AHA’s can be alternated with retinols for even better results!
Beta Hydroxy Acid-Generally used for acne, BHA’s help reduce acne without aggravating it. It also decreases redness, inflammation and clogged pores while refining skin texture. BHA’s are also great for mature and sensitive skin.
As you can see, these add more punch to your routine. All you have to do is apply it. And how long does that take? Literally, beautiful skin is at your fingertips in seconds!

Help For Acne & Rosacea By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
If you have acne or rosacea, you already know you have skin that requires sensitive care.
Harsh cleansers, alkaline bar soaps and alcohol-based products can worsen both conditions.
When it comes to cleansing, it’s extremely important to keep it gentle. Scrubbing the skin actually worsens acne, increasing irritation. Use a cleanser that’s pH balanced.
For rosacea clients, moisturizers containing ceramides and lipids are usually well tolerated. For acne clients, it simply isn’t true that you don’t need a moisturizer. Your skin needs an oil-free product that adds moisture.
Thankfully, more and more products have ingredients that work with symptomatic skin. Salicylic acid reduces inflammation and helps exfoliate in and around pores.
Active skincare ingredients are more slowly released through microsponges improving skin tolerance. To camouflage redness and pimples, mineral-based cosmetics containing silica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are wonderful for creating a smooth, matte finish.
Avoid heavy, waterproof make-up. These require make-up remover at the end of the day, which can be irritating.
Fortunately, there are a variety of treatments that also help reduce acne and the symptoms of rosacea. The best results for treating both conditions is a combination of clinical treatment, dedication to good skin care and topical medications.
We’d love to be a partner in your skincare treatment. Together, you can achieve smoother, clearer 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.

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!
