Rosemary is a popular, fragrant herb and while you might think of it as a kitchen cupboard essential, it is pretty good when it comes to health and beauty too.

This little green diva comes with a bevy of benefits including moisturising your skin, supporting collagen development, fighting off damaging free radicals, and because it is an astringent, it helps to balance and tone too.

We have highlighted just a few of the products that contain Rosemary, on the Pure-Beauty website, and hope there is something which will catch your eye.

The Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash is a rich, conditioning botanical cleanser and can be used on all skin types. Essential Oils of Tea Tree, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary come together to gently purify the skin, without stripping those all-important natural moisturisers. Soap-free Quillaja Saponaria extract leaves your limbs feeling soft and silky, and thanks to Sandalwood, Lavender, Orange and Clary Sage, you smell great too.

If you suffer with aches and pains, a soak in the bath with a liberal splash of Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak, could be the fix you have been looking for. This natural foaming bath soak is energising and uplifting thanks to a blend of Birch, Juniper, Clove, Lavender, Thyme and Blue Chamomile. You will also find Rosemary in this bottle of goodness, and this has been added to help to stimulate the circulation and relieve joint pain.

We love the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub because the combination of glycolic acid, exfoliating particles and botanical extracts, means smoother glowing skin that is silky smooth. Aloe, Chamomile and Rosemary Extracts are all found in this new product to Pure Beauty, and we are pretty sure you will love the way it makes your skin look and feel from the very first time you use it.

If you have dry skin, you might find the Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution is perfect for you. This rich, creamy cleanser, nourishes dry and prematurely-ageing skin as it cleans away dirt and impurities. Natural Safflower Oil softens and conditions the skin, Vitamin E smooths and conditions it, while the mild astringent properties of Rosemary and Lemon, refresh it. The overall result is clean, happy skin that is soft to the touch.

The Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask is a balancing, calming treatment mask which has been created to decongest and heal blemished skin. As well as Lavender, this product also contains Rosemary and Thyme Essential Oils which are bound together in a Kaolin Clay base. When left on the face and neck for ten minutes, twice a week, skin will be purified, soothed and rebalanced, and if a more intense approach is needed, the mask can be left on overnight.

While you might be tempted to jump in the shower, wash and go, we would suggest that for the sake of your skin, you don’t.

By adding a moisturiser into the mix, you will find that your skin isn’t just clean but also hydrated which means it will be softer and smooth too.

At Pure Beauty, we sell a range of fantastic products and are confident that we will have something that is right for you.

The Elemis Sweet Orchid Body Cream is a nourishing, everyday product that intensely hydrates and it smells pretty amazing too. Thanks to a blend of rich oils and exotic extracts brimming with fatty acids, anti-oxidants, and vitamins, just washed skin will drink up the goodness and feel better than ever.

Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream is an advanced body cream packed with Hydroxy Acids and Essential Plant Oils that help to smooth and condition the skin. Sugar Cane and Apple have been combined with Lactic Acid to relieve dryness, while Essential Oils of Sandalwood, Orange, Clary Sage, Patchouli and Rosemary hydrate the skin and lock in much-needed moisture. Green Tea, Lavender, Tea Tree and Chamomile oils have also been added for an extra level of soothing and softening and give this product an amazing scent.

Decleor Nourishing Body Balm is a totally gorgeous product that really does help to soothe skin that is tired and dry. Enriched with Frankincense Essential Oil, Shea Butter, Tamanu and Macadamia oils, skin feels nourished and softer from the very first application. With a unique texture and delicious smell, this luxurious balm is also ideal for massage and makes the perfect present for a friend who needs a boost.

We totally love the Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Body Cream at Pure-Beauty. This luxurious body cream is enriched with the omega 3, 6, 7 and Oleic acid rich Macadamia Oil which is Rich and when applied after a shower or bath, skin is left feeling nourished, deeply hydrated and smelling of Frangipani Flowers. For silky smooth skin, massage the cream into cleansed, dry skin morning and evening and you will be so pleased you did. When you can relax a little longer, try using the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream followed by the Elemis Frangipani Monio Salt Glow and you will fall in love with the beautiful softness of your skin from the very first application.

Best used after the Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath, for maximum results, the Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Cream is a winner in our book. Packed with skin nourishing Camellia, Macadamia and Jojoba oils, this rich lotion helps to revive dry skin, while softening and balancing at the same time. Oat Kernel has been combined with a Sesame and Shea Butter base which ensures even excessively dry skin is left feeling silky soft and healthy looking.

Next week wanted to mention the fabulous Jan Marini Bioglycolic Hand and Body Lotion which is a clever blend of Glycolic Acid, Aminophylline, and Shea Butter. This product improves the appearance of ageing and environmentally damaged skin as well as helping with texture. If you are looking for supple, smooth, healthy-looking skin, apply once or twice a day and we think you will be pleased with the results.

Finally, if you want to add moisture, and colour, we suggest trying out the Decleor Gradual Glow Hydrating Body Milk. The light, melting texture is easily and quickly absorbed into the skin and offers a beautifully natural sun-kissed look from the very first application. Magnolia Essential Oil has been added to soothe the skin, Narcissus Bulb prolongs that ‘tan’ and Vanilla Extract protect the skin against external irritants. As you skin gets a gentle golden glow, it will also look and feel intensely moisturised and soft so it is a win, win.

Let’s face it.

Your feet work really hard for you.

From the moment you get out of bed and make that first cup of coffee, to walking to work, running for the bus and then climbing the stairs back to bed, it’s all go for your toes.

The thing is, if you take care of your feet in-between salon pedicures, you can look sandal smart all summer long and we are going to show you how.

Soak Away
Why not set Sunday aside as a pamper night? Once you have switched off your phone and lit some candles and turned on your play list, fill a bowl with warm water and get ready to chill. Add a little of your favourite bubble bath or foot crystals (available in chemists and supermarkets) then let your feet soak for around 10 minutes and use this time to focus on you and your breathing. As your feet sit in the water, the skin will soften and your muscles will relax.

Exfoliate
With your skin nice and soft, rinse and dry them and then use an exfoliation product to get rid of the dead cells that can build up as a result of wearing flip-flops and padding around in bare feet when the temperatures rise.

Buff Up
For this step, we suggest you go back to basics and use a pumice stone as these can make a big difference to the way your feet look and feel. Very gently rub the stone over those stubborn areas where the skin is tough and problematic. If you do need an extra hand with this, then speak to your beautician the next time you are in the salon.

Tidy Up
There is no point in making sure your feet look good if your toenails leave a lot to be desired. As they will also be softer than usual after a warm water soak, this is the time to pay them some attention and we would suggest you buy some decent scissors just for the job. You need to cut straight across the nail, do not be tempted to go for a curve or to tidy up the corners, as you could cut too much away or end up with ingrowing nails – neither of which you want. Toes are ticklish, but needs must when it comes to beauty, so next take a clean file and make sure they are smooth and tidy with no sharp corners or jagged sides.

Moisturise
Just like other parts of the body, your feet need to be moisturised if you want them to be happy and healthy. Go for a foot cream which is rich in Vitamin E and contains peppermint, which is super cooling as this is a winning combination. Work the cream into the problem areas and let the goodness melt in.

Paint
Yes, this is the really fun bit. We love coloured toes but the key to a clean, slick finish is to either use separators or place a twisted tissue between each toe and this will protect against smudges. Whether you opt for rich red, a pop of pink or maybe a cool coral, add a clear finish and you will have happy feet and a smile.

We all know we should include fruit and vegetables in your diet to get those all important vitamins, but at Pure-Beauty, we sell a whole range of products that are packed with goodness so you look great too.

Let’s start with the Elemis Superfood Day Cream which is like a smoothie in the form of an amazing beauty product. This illuminating moisturiser is rich in anti-oxidant oils and vitamin dense supergreens and also has an active Pre-Biotic to balance, hydrate and smooth skin. Ginger, Matcha Tea and Goji Berry have been added into the mix so that complexions smoother, softer and revitalised.

If you love Vitamin C in your juice, then you might be interested to know that it is the secret ingredient in the Jan Marini C-ESTA Cleansing Gel. This potent cleanser is perfect for all skin types and just a small amount massaged into the skin morning and night will leave it not only clean but also feeling softer than ever.

The Dermalogica Antioxidant HydraMist is a light, refreshing antioxidant magical mist that has been created to intensely hydrate dry, tired skin. Thanks to a highly-active Vitamin C complex which has been combined with collagen-stimulating peptides, skin is firmed and fine lines fade. Super effective Hyaluronic Acid quenches thirsty skin while Pea Extract lifts and tightens while Rose and Clove extracts comfort and refresh. Sounds like a lot, we know, but give it a go and we think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.

It is the Vitamins B3 and CG in the Decleor Intense Glow Dark Circle Corrector that help to protect and brighten the sensitive eye area that can give away so much about our lives and lifestyle. This light cream targets darkness and dullness and while Caffeine aids drainage, Orange Pigments deliver instant illumination. Simply apply a small amount morning and evening around the eye area, gently tap with fingertips until the product is completely absorbed and let the ingredients get to work.

We love the Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser because it deeply cleans the skin, effectively removing the build-up of daily dirt and make-up. Specifically designed for combination and congested skin, the active extracts of Lime Blossom and Lecithin balance excess surface oils so that skin can breathe. Vitamin E moisturises the skin while Omega-6 rich Vitamin F nourishes and conditions. The result is a healthy complexion that feels smooth and looks healthy.

We can’t go without mentioning the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm which is our go-to product for combating lines around the eyes and mouth. Perfect for using on drier and prematurely ageing skin, this gorgeous blend of Vitamin A, C and E helps to accelerate the skin’s natural repair process, strengthens elasticity and improves smoothness all while defending against damaging free radicals. Smooth a little of the product around visible signs of ageing morning and night and we think you will love it as much as we do in no time at all.

It’s all about the essential oils

At Pure-Beauty, we are massive fans of natural essential oils, and even more so during the warm summer months when need to take care of ourselves that little bit more.

We have had a look at the benefits of adding oils into your beauty routine and we think you might be pleasantly surprised at how mother nature can make things so much better.

Keep breakouts at bay
When it is hot we tend to sweat more than usual and this can lead to a build-up of oil under the skin and cause annoying spots. Lavender Oil is perfect for dealing with this because it is packed with the antibacterial and antiseptic properties that can help prevent the bacteria that causes acne from growing as well as treating the blemishes you do get. Dilute a little oil with water and dab gently to the affected area using a clean cotton bud and it will soothe and nourish the skin the natural way. You can also mix the oil with cold water for a simple toner that is especially good for treating oily skin.

We are massive fans of Tea Tree Oil and it is our acne go to product thanks to the really powerful antiseptic qualities and vibrant scent. Simply add a few drops to cool water and apply to your face using a clean soft cloth and let the oils get to work.

Oils for your skin
Bear with us on this one because we know it might sound wrong, but putting oils on your skin can be amazing.
The summer brings many joys, but it can also make our skin dehydrated and tired, however adding an essential oil into the mix can bring it back to life. Rosehip Oil is a good choice because this rich, smooth oil sinks into your skin leaving it soft and supple without a trace of greasiness, just vibrancy. Packed with essential fatty acids plus Vitamins A and C this is a true beauty must have. As well as helping with fine lines, it is also brilliant for the scars and stretch marks many of us are conscious of in the summer but do remember to still apply sun cream if you are going outside.

Look after your head
If you think Chamomile is only for drinking in tea, you’ll be surprised to know that it also soothes and hydrates an irritated scalp – something that can happen when the heat is high. Simply adding a few drops of oil to your shampoo or conditioner can make a big difference and ease itching without the need for any chemicals.

Sage is often thought of as a little bit of magic and we agree when it comes to getting super shiny hair. As an astringent, it is beneficial for hair growth but also fights dandruff and encourages glossy locks. You can simply apply a little oil to your scalp and let nature take care of the rest.

Oils for hair don’t stop here with Argon, Avocado and Coconut all being offering a boost, so them as a regular, weekly treatment and we are pretty sure you will see the shine in no time at all.

Happy feet
Back to those medium-chain fatty acids from Coconut Oil and we would suggest you apply this loving to your feet and give them the care and attention they deserve. Coconut Oil is totally nourishing and will get to work on tough, dry skin, leaving your toes as soft as a baby’s in no time at all.
