How Busy Women Can Get The Most From Their Skincare By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We’ve got good news for busy women like you! No matter what you’re juggling, it seems skincare gets a low priority on the “to do” list because it just takes too much time, right?
Hmmmm…well, what if there was a way to make it simple and easy? Happily, there is! Taking care of your skin is as simple as 1-2-3.
Make sure you have the right cleanser for your skin type. Next, use a mild exfoliant once a week in the shower. That’s pretty easy, isn’t it? Then follow up with the right moisturizer for your skin type.
The key to keeping your skincare simple is to clean out what you’ve got. You know, the little bit of moisturizer your friend gave you for Christmas, but you’ve been using it for a body lotion because you didn’t like it for your face.
Throw out the expired stuff, too. Just strip your skincare closet bare! Allow us the honor of giving you a skin consult to determine what you do need.
We’ll make sure that what we give you fits your lifestyle. And that means quick, simple and effective. Yep, we’ve got that.

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!

Why Winter Feels Like A Never Ending Monday By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
In summer, we celebrate the endless days of light and sunshine. But winter? Each cold and cloudy day is just one more date to mark off on the calendar. How many more days until Spring?
Brrrr!
It’s no wonder that depression rates go up as sunlight and temperatures drop. That’s why it’s so important to take additional self-care measures to carry you through the cold season.
1. Increase your vitamin D. Sunlight levels are less in the winter, but get as much of it as you can and increase your vitamin D. It helps to increase energy levels.
2. Buy fresh flowers! The vibrant colours of a Spring bouquet add freshness and cheer to any room.
3. Wear bright colours. It’s hard to feel down with vibrant splashes of colour! It’s uplifting both for the body and the mind.
4. Exercise. Yes, indeed. Get that blood and serotonin pumping! It’s a sure cure for the winter blues.
5. Spa treatments are a must. What’s your favourite treatment for keeping your mood light and your skin hydrated? Make sure you schedule regular treatment times to keep the winter blues at bay.
There’s nothing more important than your health! And, as you know, we specialise in good health. Just another reason to put us at the top of your self-care list this winter.

The 40-Something Skin Care Primer By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Yes, you can have great looking skin at any age! The biggest challenge is reconciling poor skin care habits from the past and overexposure to the sun.
But knowledge is power. Skin in your forties turns over more slowly and is more prone to dryness and fine wrinkles.
The good news is we live in a time where Mother Nature can be given a nudge, with the effects of aging even reversed!
Here’s how: Get chemical peels and microdermabrasion to keep the outer layers of your skin smooth. Chemical peels literally peel away the rougher outer layers of your skin.
With microdermabrasion, crystals wear away dead skin. Also consider IPL and laser for longer-lasting effects. And remember, retinol is your friend! It can be used at home to build collagen, fade sun spots and improve the over all texture of your skin.
Splurge on a good eye cream. The eye area is the thinnest skin on your body and often the first place to show wrinkles. No skimping here!
Don’t be rough on your skin. Baby it instead! Avoid over exfoliation. Once or twice weekly is plenty. Avoid using two potentially irritating ingredients at the same time like retinol and Vitamin C. Alternate; use one in the A.M. and one in the P.M.
Got questions? We’re happy to customize your skincare routine!
