Today, we’re looking at a specific ingredient which is found in several products we sell. You’ve probably eaten it or cooked it many times before, but rosemary is actually very beneficial for your skin. Rosemary oil acts as a refreshing astringent that balances and tightens skin and topical application of rosemary oil helps to keep the skin in balance while relieving acne and oily skin types.The antibacterial effect of rosemary oil helps prevent future breakouts on oily and acne-prone skin, while ageing skin receives an invigorating boost that stimulates blood circulation, giving skin a youthful, radiant glow. Here are some of our favourite rosemary-containing products:

REN Clean Skincare Atlantic Kelp And Magnesium Anti-Fatigue Body Cream

This body cream from REN Clean Skincare uses a number of naturally derived ingredients, including rosemary, Atlantic kelp and magnesium which combine to create an easily absorbed body cream formulated to help nourish, smooth and tone the skin. It’s designed to be applied after showering, in an upwards motion, to help relieve muscle soreness and tiredness, while encouraging natural cell renewal and uplifting the senses. 

Decleor Rosemary Black Clay Cleansing Gel

The ingredients in this cleansing gel from Decleor are not just natural – they’re a whopping ninety five percent naturally derived! The gel is enriched with rosemary essential oil and black clay to perfectly clean and clear imperfections. The results leave pores looking unclogged, imperfections reduced and overall, the skin looks smoother, healthier and more luminous.

Aromatherapy Associates Revive Body Gel

Rosemary is a great ingredient because not only does it have a lot of natural properties which help the skin, but the fragrance can also have a profound effect on the senses.

Its stimulating oils make it an ideal pep before a busy day or evening and the perfect in-flight companion and it can also be used to apply to areas of cellulite or fluid retention.

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.
