Trainers for Steve, a new phone for Rosie and that much wanted laptop for Alice, Christmas is full of presents but how about giving something back to those less fortunate than you?

We have had a look at some of the good causes you can contribute to this Christmas, as well as looking at a few ideas that come from the heart, direct to someone who will really appreciate it.

Crisis at Christmas
For less than £30, you can ensure someone in need gets a place at the Crisis Christmas table this year. That cost will include a nutritious, delicious Christmas dinner, the offer of a hot shower and clean clothes to change into. There will also be a bed for the night if needed, health checks if people want them as well as expert advice on mental health and addiction problems.

Food banks
As you order your Christmas food, or stock up in the supermarket, why not add a few extras for those who can’t afford the cost of living. There are food banks up and down the country and by donating everyday items, as well as some festive treats, you could be making a big difference to someone in need.

Clic Sargent
Did you know that £10 could buy two story books that will help children understand cancer and treatment. £30 pays for a family to stay at a Homes from Home for one night, so they can be close to hospital and £50 (the cost of a computer game) could pay for a CLIC Sargent nurse to talk to a child about their cancer diagnosis and what treatment will be like. This could make a huge difference to an entire family for less than the cost of one meal out for you.

Charity shop drop
Don’t throw away the books, clothes and shoes you no longer need, give them to a local charity shop. You might not want that thick coat or set of pans, but a charity shop gives someone else the chance to buy something they can’t afford new, and the charity gets to generate an income for their cause too. Oh, and while you are there, you could buy your Christmas cards or odd present and give even more back.

Eating on the streets
No one knows the story behind people who are homeless, but we do know that everyone gets hungry. Yes, you can give someone money, but why not buy them a sandwich, some hot soup, plus a bottle of water, and you will know that they will have eaten something that day.

The Salvation Army
Did you know that the Salvation Army helps people across the UK and there are many ways you can be a part of their work? From cake sales with family and friends to trekking in Cambodia, as well as making donations rather than sending cards, there are endless ways you can help them to make life easier for someone in need.

Volunteer you time
Time is something we can all give, and volunteers at soup kitchens over Christmas are always needed. Many organisations offer a hot meal inside in the warm to people sleeping rough, so why not do some research and see what is happening in your area and how you could get involved.

Go carol singing
Maybe this is a little old-fashioned, but why not get together some friends, put on your hats and gloves and go out and sing carols to raise coppers (and more) for a cause that is close to your heart and your home.

Have a wonderful Christmas, but if you can, do something to make someone else’s just that little bit easier too.

At Pure Beauty, we really appreciate our customers and their loyalty, so at the moment to say thank you, we are giving away free Dermalogica trial sizes of products with all Dermalogica orders.

There is no qualifying spend for this offer, although there is a minimum order value which must be reached before you can go to the checkout.

As this great offer is exclusive to Dermalogica products, so we thought we would have a look at what you could buy in-order to then get something for nothing.

Healthy skin has to be clean skin and for this you need the Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel in your life. This soap-free, foaming gel takes away the dirt of the day, and the dulling dead cells from the night before, but doesn’t harm your natural moisture balance. Suitable for everyone, Balm Mint and Lavender extracts calm and soothe complexions, while magical Quillaja Saponaria gently foams away make-up and harmful toxins.

You might not think you need to use a toner, but we would have to disagree on that. The Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner is made from skin loving Aloe, as well as soothing Lavender, Balm Mint and Arnica which together add hydration after cleansing. Free from artificial fragrances and colours, far from drying the skin (this is what many people from a toner) this unique blend of goodness will keep your skin smooth and refreshed and will help your moisturiser to work better too.

Speaking of moisturisers, we love the Dermalogica Active Moist because it really does help you have better-looking skin. This lightweight, oil-free moisturiser simply sinks into normal and oily skin, offering it an invisible but effective barrier which prevents moisture loss and helps to blur those fine, dehydration lines.

As we are coming up to Christmas, you might want to add a little cheer to your skin, and the Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque is the perfect way to do this. This relatively new, all-in-one treatment cleverly detoxifies, brightens and invigorates your skin so it looks fresh and glowing. The formula is fast acting and easily removed with warm water, and is the perfect way to rescue tired, lackluster, dull skin that might have been partying a little too hard!

We cater for all ages at Pure Beauty, so for the teens in your life, or anyone dealing with outbreaks, why not take a look at the Dermalogica Clear Start range? We are pretty impressed with the Dermalogica Pore Control Scrub, which as you would expect, washes away those clogging dead skin cells, while purifying the skin. Tea Tree Oil offers a natural antiseptic and antimicrobial that kills bacteria, and after the first use, skin is soothed and cooled thanks to added Licorice, Green Tea and Menthol.

Happy shopping.
