Rosemary is a plant which has many uses, dating back over 5000 years. It’s well known for its fragrant flavours which are used in many different dishes, but it’s oils are also incredibly useful and potent when used for beauty applications. We have several different products on the Pure Beauty shelves which harness the power of rosemary, many of which come from Decleor, so we thought we’d share with you five of our favourites:

Decleor Rosemary Active Essence

Decleor Rosemary Active Essence is so much more than your average toner. It contains rosemary essential oil and salicylic acid which works to reduce the appearance of visible pores, blackheads and breakouts and also mattifies the skin. Your pores will be less visible and your skin will have a much smoother look overall. The ingredients are 99% natural origin and it’s a water based formula which reduces excess sebum.

Decleor Rosemary Black Clay Cleansing Gel

Black clay and rosemary are a powerful combination for dealing with imperfections and excess oil. The black clay helps to unclog the pores while the rosemary oil targets blemishes and leaves the skin looking smoother, healthier and more luminous. This is another product with the vast majority of its ingredients coming from natural origins and can be used daily to keep the skin clean and clear.

Decleor Rosemary Handwash Scrub

So many products which are intended for use on the hands are great at getting them clean but often leave them dry, dehydrated and irritated. This Rosemary Hand Wash Scrub from Decleor combines rosemary essential oils and walnut powder to clean and purify your hands, exfoliate your skin, but also leave them moisturised and conditioned. The product is made from 99% natural origin ingredients and is great for use by people who do a particularly hands-on, dirty job.

Decleor Rosemary Night Balm

Products which are intended for use at night are usually some of the most potent as they have a greater concentration of oils, which will soak into your skin while you sleep. This Night Balm is 100% natural and although it is enriched with rosemary oils, these are actually ideal for combination to oily skin as they reduce excess sebum and the appearance of blemishes. The balm melts into the skin without leaving a greasy texture, allowing the active ingredients to work throughout the night.

Decleor Rosemary Targeted Solution

As we’ve mentioned previously, rosemary essential oils work well to reduce imperfections and treat breakouts, which is why Decleor have developed this anti-imperfection concentrate. The Targeted Solution prevents and reduces the appearance of blemishes while soothing redness and minimising inflammation. The small bottle makes it convenient to carry around with you and can be applied whenever an imperfection starts to appear.

Winter to Spring – How to Transition Your Skincare

Spring cleaning doesn’t only apply to your home, it can also apply to your skin care routine. Winter skincare is very different to springtime skin care and often focuses on hydration and nourishment, as the icy weather can be harsh on your complexion. However, once Spring comes around you can ease up a little on the intense moisturisers and move towards a lighter skin care routine which suits the slightly warmer months. Springtime usually means that dryness gets better as humidity levels even out and don’t cause your skin to dry so much. With this in mind we thought we’d look at some springtime swaps that you should be doing to bring your skincare routine out of winter hibernation.

Grab a Clay Cleanser

Clay cleansers, such as Decleor Clay Powder Cleanser, are ideal for drawing impurities out of your skin. This is essential after a long, hard winter as often dead skin cells will be clogging your pores, as well as traces of dirt or oil and pollution. Clay cleansers will help to rid your complexion of all of these nasties, giving you a clearer base, moving into spring.

Start Exfoliating

Now is the time when you should think about adding an exfoliator into your weekly beauty routine. Skin often looks rather doll after months in freezing temperatures so sloughing away dead skin cells and revealing the new fresh complexion beneath is one of the quickest ways to revive a brighter, clearer complexion. We recommend Decleor Green Mandarin Exfoliating 2 in 1 Scrub Mask.

Opt for a Lightweight Moisturiser

During the winter, we tend to opt for ultra rich oil-based moisturisers just to give our skin an adequate amount of hydration. However, once spring has sprung opting for a water-based lightweight moisturiser will be more than adequate and won’t leave you with an excess of oil. Dermalogica UltraCalming Calm Water-Gel is a weightless water gel moisturiser which is perfect for your transition to Spring skin care.

Add an SPF

We try to drum it into our customers that they should be wearing some form of sun protection all year round, even in winter and even in our seemingly weak UK sun. However, we know that a lot of people still don’t do this and if you’re stubbornly going to refuse to wear an SPF in the winter the least you can do is add it to your spring routine. Elemis Daily Defence Shield SPF 30 is the perfect base under makeup and offers broad protection against environmental factors such as UV rays, high-energy visible light and pollution.

Get Masking

Adding a mask to your weekly routine is a great way to re-energize your skin and re texturise your complexion. Decleor White Magnolia Mask Absolute is a fresh textured mask blended with highly concentrated extract of peony lychee and rhodiola to re-energize the skin.

We all know that January can be a gruelling time for you skin. It’s often the coldest month of the year which means that every time we go outside our is dealing with the elements – then we go back indoors and are faced with central heating, which is a bad combination for our skin. Combine this with shorter days and a tendency to want to hibernate, hardly anyone can ever say that their skin is at its best in January. Masks are a fantastic product for reviving the skin at this time of year and regular usage of a targeted mask can help to ensure that by the time spring comes around and the sun starts to peek through the clouds, your complexion will have a rosy glow that is rarely seen at the end of winter. Here are 5 of our best masks for nourishing the skin, to give you a great start to 2020.

This mask from Elemis is made from exotic ingredients and works as a hydrating and soothing treatment. It takes the purest part of the therapeutic plant extracts from mimosa, sea rocket, orange and bergamot leaves, enriching the skin and evening out skin tone. It can be left on overnight as a more intensive treatment and can even be used on dry hands and cuticles if they are suffering the same dryness as your face.

We all know how difficult it can be to deal with skin issues such as dry skin, oily skin or aging skin. However, dealing with combination skin often means that you’re dealing with two or more of these problems at once, which can make skin care all the more difficult. Combination skin requires targeted products and sometimes more than one product in different areas of your face so that you can adequately deal with all of the issues at once. With that in mind, we’ve curated a list of products which are perfect for combination skin and should help you to bring all your issues into line.

Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser

Cleansing combination skin can be particularly difficult because you have areas of dryness where flaky skin is an issue, as well as oily areas which need something a bit more potent to help control sebum overproduction. This cleanser from Elemis balances the skin by deep cleansing it, removing the build up of daily pollutants and getting rid of makeup. It contains extracts of lime blossom and vitamin A which will soothe your skin and helps to rid you of excess surface oil.

This night balm from decleor is made from 100% natural ingredients and has a melt-in texture which will care for combination and oily skin. It’s a balancing product which will reduce inflammation, cure underlying dryness and prevent the skin from producing too much oil. You’ll wake-up with cleaner healthier and more radiant skin.

Elemis Hydra Balance Day Cream – Normal/Combination

It’s an ultralight cream which provides hydration all day long and works with the skin’s natural moisturising factor to help maintain a balanced moisture level. It improves the texture of the skin, balances dryness, oiliness and soothes irritation.

This cream from Jan Marini combines glycolic acid, salicylic acid and azelaic acid to provide a dramatically smoother, clearer, more luminous complexion.
