Aside from our love of beauty products which contain both highly scientific and natural ingredients, here at Pure Beauty, we also have a love for companies which have a sustainable ethos. Over the past couple of years we have added more and more products to our shelves which are from sustainable sources and can be reused as well as being free from damaging plastics. Today we are sharing with you five such products which we think should feature in every bathroom and make up bag. They also make fabulous gifts for encouraging your friends and family towards a more eco-friendly beauty routine.

The Sea Shed Exfoliating Soap Bag

This soap bag may offer a handy hanging solution for storing your soap in your shower or bath, but it actually does so much more than this. When used in conjunction with your favourite soap, it gently exfoliates and massages your skin to get rid of dead skin cells, invigorate and brighten your skin, as well as improving circulation. It’s made from certified sustainable ingredients, is vegan friendly, made in the UK and comes in recyclable plastic free packaging, meaning that it ticks all the boxes!

UpCircle Bamboo Cotton Buds

In the UK alone it is estimated that we use 1.8 billion cotton buds every year, most of which are made from single use plastic. Of this 1.8 billion cotton buds, around 10% of them end up being flushed down the toilet and therefore out into the sea, and during a 2018 study, 22 cotton buds were found for every 100m of UK beach. With this in mind, we added UpCircle’s bamboo cotton buds, which are biodegradable and plastic free, to our shelves. They are made from sustainable bamboo and make a perfect alternative to damaging plastic.

JoJo Glow Baby Microfibre Pads

Many people don’t realise that single use wipes actually contain plastic and are another significant factor in polluting the world’s oceans. Aside from this, many of them actually damage the skin on a microscopic level, so there are many reasons for switching to these Baby Microfibre Pads from JoJo Glow. They are reusable, recyclable and will protect your child’s delicate skin. They’re also super easy to use and simply need warm water to get the most out of them.

UpCircle Hemp and Cotton Makeup Pads

Another alternative to single use wipes, these hemp and cotton make-up pads are the perfect sustainable way to remove make up and keep your skin clean. The triple layer pads are made from 100% natural materials and can be used again and again for an eco-friendly cleansing method. There are seven pads in this pack, as well as a netting bag which can be chucked into the washing machine and washed on the low temperature to get them looking spic and span once again.

Zero Waste Organic Cotton Make Up Remover Pads and Wash Bag

Never ones to be left out when it comes to eco-friendly beauty, these cotton make-up remover pads from Zero Waste Organic offer different textures for different types of cleansing. As well as the cotton wash bag you will get four pads made from organic terry cotton to give a rough for more exfoliating finish and 12 soft pads made from organic velour cotton for use around the eyes and more delicate areas. They are machine washable and are made from cotton which has not been sprayed with pesticides.

We stock a wide range of present perfect options and we think we can help you to tick off anyone who is still left on your list.

A lovely set that we have just for Christmas, is the Decleor You, Me, Mistletoe Christmas Gift Set and we think most people would love to find this under the tree. You get the Decleor Intense Nutrition Lip Balm which has been enriched with Marjoram Essential Oil, Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil and protects lips from dryness and leaves them feeling soft and smooth. The Decleor Hydra Floral Everfresh Hydrating Light Cream illuminates and protects skin thanks to a powerful combination of Neroli Essential Oil and Baikal Skullcap Root. Finally, the hat trick for this gift is a tube of Decleor Aroma Cleanse 3 in 1 Hydra Radiance Cleansing Mousse which is made from Neroli Essential Oils and Green Tea Essential Water which, together, restore radiance, and add moisture.

If you have a friend who needs spoiling, we think that the Elemis Superfood Facial Wash is a good place to start. This gorgeous, nourishing wash revives and refreshes whilst gently cleansing the face and neck. Made from a blend of Avocado, Broccoli and Pumpkin Seed Oils with added Wheatgrass, Kale, and Nettle, this really is a super food shake for the skin and will leave it glowing, healthy and bright – just like the Christmas tree.

For that tricky teen, why not try the Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Kit? This cool looking set comes with three great products that are perfect for teenagers with acne or breakout prone skin. The Dermalogica Foaming Wash has been designed to be used morning and night and will gently wash away dirt. The Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Booster is a fast acting acne treatment made with Salicylic Acid which helps to deal with breakout causing bacteria and works in just 15 minutes. It also comes with the Dermalogica Skin Soothing Hydrating Lotion which is easy to apply and helps to soothe and hydrate acne irritated skin.

For that hard to buy for family member, why not go for the Decleor Nourishing Body Balm? This intensive body balm that nourishes and moistures the skin and leaves it feeling soft and supple. With a Christmas twist, this beauty is made from a rich blend of Frankincense Essential Oil, Shea Butter, Tamanu and Macadamia Oils, this is the perfect present for someone who has everything except perfect skin.

For a festive looking treat that would be a valued addition to any bathroom, a pot of Elemis Lime and Ginger Salt Glow ticks all the boxes. This luxurious exfoliation product is made from a unique blend of Lime, Ginger and Salt together with Bergamot, Coconut and Sweet Almond Oils. From the very first use, these salts will stimulate and tone the skin and leave it looking fab and feeling super soft.

If you have a last-minute Secret Santa to buy before the big day, we think the winning ticket could be the Dermalogica Daily Glow Duo Christmas Gift Set. The lucky recipient will be able to try the Dermalogica PreCleanse Balm which dissolves oil and dirt from the surface of the skin, and the light, milky emulsion leaves behind a fresh complexion. This is also a great way to try the fantastic Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant for the first time. This product has a unique rice based powder formula that comes to life when mixed with water. It is the activated Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes that come together to exfoliate away clogging dead cells so that skin is left looking smoother and brighter.

So put in your orders as soon as possible and if you need any help doing that, get in touch and we would love to help.

Happy Christmas.

Dermalogica’s Star magazine Beauty Awards

award winning products, dermalogica, precleanse, special cleansing gel

As you know Dermalogica won a whole host of awards in 2012, in fact we went through each one and listed them in some of the final blogs of the year; however, 2012 isn’t over.

At the very end of the year Star Magazine held their annual Beauty Awards and yet again Dermalogica were triumphant with not one but two of its products. Dermalogica won in the Best Cleansing Duo category with Special Cleansing Gel and Precleanse.

Dermalogica Precleanse is a deep clean for the skin. Precleanse is exactly that, a Precleanse that will prepare your skin for the Dermalogica cleanser. It uses a mixture of natural oils that melt through excess oil, make-up and even water-proof mascara to ensure that your pores are cleared, which allows your cleanser to sink deeper into the skin.

Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel is the second treatment in this award winning duo and it will remove all impurities without altering the skin’s natural moisture levels. The use of balm mint and lavender soothes and smooths the skin and allows Quillaja Saponaria to flow deep into the pores and flush out any toxins that could be harmful to the skin.

Try another award winning collection of Dermalogica products and see what they can do for you.

Dermalogica crowned in RSVP Beauty Awards

There have been so many articles about the awards that Dermalogica have won this year that it only seems right to end the year on a high. Rather than being told how you should look after your skin, what make-up to use and skin sins that should never be committed this article will take a look at Dermalogica’s most recent award as well as a look back over their year of success.

Dermalogica’s latest award is ‘Best Hand Cream’ at this year’s RSVP Beauty Awards; the role of choosing the winners is given to a panel of Ireland’s top beauty experts who described Dermalogica’s MultiVitamin Hand and Nail Treatment as “deeply moisturising… leaves hands feeling soft and smooth but with no oily traces.”

Throughout the year Dermalogica has been constantly recognised for its range of excellent skin products. Earlier this year it was recognised by The Beauty Shortlist – a beauty blog that has been recognised by the likes of Marie Claire as being one of the best beauty bloggers – for Total Eye Care SPF15.

The Good Spa Awards 2012 used the help of their expert ‘Good Spa Spies’ to establish their nominations and nominated Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant as best product!

Vogue India’s Beauty Awards was then held and Dermalogica’s AGE Smart Multivitamin Power Firm was named Best Eye Cream.

July’s ELLE Beauty Awards was next on the list where a further two nominations were bagged. The Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque was nominated as Favourite Facial Masque and Dermalogica’s Super Sensitive Shield SPF30 was the product nominated as Favourite Facial Sun Care.

The Esquire Grooming Awards saw further victory as the editors showed how much they loved the Dermalogica Pre-Shave Guard and gave the product a 4/4.

Psychologies magazine then chose two Dermalogica winners with Active Moist winning the Best Moisturiser category and the Daily Microfoliant the Best Treatment Product.

And finally, The Anti-Ageing Beauty Bible awarded Dermalogica the Anti-Ageing Miracle Cream Award and the Facial Scrub Award for their Power Rich (Anti-Ageing Miracle Cream) and Daily Microfoliant (Facial Scrub), rounding off a cracking year of quality winning products.
