How “Mild” Soaps Wreck Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Your skin is a work of art!
It has been specially designed by Mother Nature with several different acids to make sure that nasty bacteria are not absorbed.
That’s why it’s so important to have the right kind of cleanser for your skin type. So-called mild skin care soaps are more alkaline.
These really dry out your skin, compromising its ability to effectively do its job.
What Is pH Balanced?
Soap manufacturers will often label a product as “pH balanced.” But what is the pH? Unless that information is given, the claim is just a marketing ploy.
It’s like saying your automobile gets good gas mileage. Well, what exactly is good gas mileage?
Too much acidity or alkalinity can disrupt the acid mantle, (your skin’s barrier) causing it to be much more susceptible to damage and dryness.
This is also true with hand soaps. That’s why your hands dry out after use. Your cleanser needs to be alkaline enough to remove dirt and make-up, but not cause dryness.
Skin is ever changing. That means that as you age, the pH changes, too. Some skin conditions actually raise the level of alkalinity, like eczema and dermatitis. That’s where we come in!
If you feel your skin care just isn’t performing the way it used to, it’s time to get a professional skin analysis with us.
Our highly trained aestheticians will match the right cleanser for your skin type. And that means balanced and glowing skin!

Is Your Skin Choking? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Life moves fast, doesn’t it?
Work responsibilities, kids, (if you have them), community involvement and squeezing in some “me” time…Whew!
And where is the first place you notice all that stress? Your skin!
If the mirror is showing you a different picture than you want to see, it’s time to make some quick changes.
Let’s face it. Stress chokes everything about your life, especially your skin. If you see these signs:
- Deep, dark circles
- Dull, lifeless skin
- Gray or sallow skin
- Blackheads
- Sudden redness to your skin
Girl, you need to pull in the reins fast! Not only does your skin need some r & r, so do you!
Even though you know the drill, it’s time to hear it again. Get eight hours of good rest. That’s when your skin rejuvenates.
Use the right skin care and—USE IT FAITHFULLY! Don’t let anything, including burning the midnight oil, keep you from this essential wellness habit.
Get a facial. Better yet, make it a regular wellness activity to keep you on the straight and narrow.
Exfoliate regularly to get rid of the dead skin build up; add vitamin C and peptides to combat stress, brighten, lift and tone skin.
Rest!

Are You Giving Your Skin What It Craves? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Every day we counsel women who work hard at taking care of their skin, but it’s just not working.
Their complaints vary widely:
• “My skin looks greasy but it feels tight.”
• “Moisturizer just makes my dry skin worse!”
• “My skin is oily. By the end of the day it’s an oil slick!”
All of these complaints have one common factor. Each person used over-the-counter products to try and treat their skin condition.
Self-diagnosis rarely works. And we can tell you first hand it often makes the skin condition worse! First of all, the skin is the largest organ of the body and it’s complicated!
Secondly, even if you do guess correctly about your skin condition, drugstore products simply do not have the potency of our professional line.
Skin craves ceramides, essential fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, and sodium PCA, (an amino acid derivative). But here’s the catch:
You have to know which one (or more) works best for your skin type and apply it in the right amounts.
Oily, dry, mature, or combination, there is a secret to unlocking the natural beauty of your skin. Symptoms are your skin’s way of pleading for help!
We’ve spent hundreds of hours learning to speak the language of your skin. Why not take advantage of it?
You deserve it!

What You Can Do About Sagging Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Gravity…where would we be without it? It holds us to the earth, keeping us firmly rooted as we go about our daily lives.
But when it comes to aging, we don’t like it so much, and with good reason! Tightening sagging skin requires more intervention than any other problem.
The trick is to start early with prevention and don’t stop. EVER. But where do you begin?
– Your moisturizer. You don’t just need a good one you need the right one for your skin type. If the crème is too heavy, it will clog pores. That’s why we recommend a facial consult to get exactly the right one for you.
– Active Treatments. Add a vitamin C serum or vitamin A (retinol), alpha or beta hydroxy acids (AHA or BHA) to your skincare routine. These age fighters usually go on at night and help your skin renew itself faster and to look firmer.
– Corrective Facials. We preach regular facials for a reason, folks. They work! If you’re serious about taking care of the health of your skin, facials are a must. You’ll look younger and it will show.
– Intensive Treatments. Go for LED, IPL, galvanic facials and more to smooth out sagging skin, large pores and brown spots.
Make age work for you, not against you! Feel confident and look beautiful every day of your life!
Strut your sassy self! We’ve got the tools for younger skin. You provide the attitude. Deal?

How Can Galvanic Facials Help My Skin? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We love galvanic facials for two simple reasons. The results—including anti-aging—last longer than classic European facials, which means you get much more for your money.
It all starts with the facial cleanse. Galvanic facials go beyond the traditional manual method to remove dirt. Using low-level current, it deeply draws out impurities below the skin’s surface. Large pores are swept clean and blackheads are softened, making them easier to extract.
Once the skin is clean both on the surface and below, low-level current again pushes the prescribed water-soluble serum deep into your skin’s three layers, adding essential hydration where it’s needed most.
This intense absorption of skin treatments rarely reaches this depth with traditional facials. And that’s the distinction with galvanic facials and why this treatment produces such remarkably long-lasting results.
The low-level current results in smoother, plumper skin with an incredible reduction in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
Now you can see why skincare products work more efficiently and effectively. The deepest layers of your skin have intense hydration support.
For over 70 years, skincare professionals have used galvanic current in professional skin treatments and facials. They are extremely safe and wonderfully relaxing.
Excellent for every skin type, including sensitive, galvanic facials work with your body to create younger-looking skin. There are no toxins, no chemicals, and no side effects.
Just beautiful skin.
