Haven’t done all your Christmas shopping yet?

Don’t panic.

At Pure Beauty we have something for everyone, and you still have time to place your order and get your goodies under the tree before the big day.

Marvellous Mum
Oh, where to start with the mum who does so much and expects so little. If we had to make one suggestion, it would be the Elemis Frangipani Sweet Dreams Christmas Gift Set. This luxurious collection cleanses and conditions skin and will give your mum the chance to escape to an exotic Polynesian paradise for just a little while. It comes with the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream that cleanses skin without stripping protective surface oils. Then there’s the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil that’s all about giving extra moisture to dry, parched skin. The Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Polish softens, smooths and hydrates skin and let’s not forget the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Hand and Nail Balm that will leave your mum’s hands nourished and happy once again.

Dad dudes
For busy dads, there’s the Elemis Men’s Dynamic Duo Christmas Gift Set. With this set, your dad will get the Elemis Active Hair and Body Wash which will leave him feeling clean and ready for that Christmas movie. With woody and citrus smells plus mood-boosting essential oils, this will help them chill out and get ready for 2020.

The tricky teenager
We know those teenage years can be tough, and spots can rear their ugly ‘blackheads’ right before party season, but we are here to help with that. The Dermalogica Clear Start Clearly Matte Kit contains three great products that are perfect for teenagers with acne or breakout prone skin. We can’t help with the eye rolling or mood swings, but give them the Dermalogica Foaming Wash, Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Booster and Dermalogica Clearing Defence SPF30 this Christmas and you might get a smile. Maybe a hug too?

Aunty Sue
For something special for that gorgeous aunt, how about the Elemis Joyful Glow Candle Christmas Gift Set? The warming scents of vanilla, orange and cinnamon have been blended to create something special that will fill her home with a burst of natural goodness. This candle comes in a deep purple and gold box that can be used for trinkets, and once the light goes out (it burns for 40 hours) she can use the glass for her water.

Uncle John
If your uncle fancies himself as a bit of a hipster, how about the Elemis Smooth Result Shave and Beard Oil? This multi-purpose face and beard-smoothing shave oil softens hairs and prepares the skin for the ultimate smooth, close shave. Packed with a blend of vitamin-rich herbal oils to suit all skin types, this is a gift your uncle won’t have but will love.

The dog? OK, we can’t help with that member of the family, but we think they will be happy with some festive food and a good long walk on Christmas Day.

Have fun and if you need a hand choosing a present for the ones you love, give us a shout and we’re here to help.

Here at Pure Beauty, we believe in our products, but we’re also aware that some elements of healing need to come from within. We offer several acne-beating skincare systems, but making sure your diet is right for your skin can give your complexion an extra boost. With that in mind, we’ve got five food suggestions that you should think about adding to your diet if you’re an acne sufferer:

Kimchi

Kimchi is a Korean dish which is made from salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish. It’s an amazing source of probiotics, which help to control the bad bacteria in your skin which contribute to acne. Start your skincare routine with Dermalogica Foaming Wash, which will rid your skin of any external bacteria and combined with the probiotics in the kimchi, your skin will get an acne-beating boost.

Avocado

Avocado might seem like a bit of a ‘trendy’ ingredient right now, but it’s actually jam-packed with nutrients and good fats which are amazing for your skin. Acne can often be exacerbated by an underlying dry skin issue, which causes the skin to overproduce sebum. The good fats in avocado, though, help to hydrate your skin from within, eliminating dryness and calming the causes of acne.

Oily Fish

Everyone should try to get at least two portions of fish a week, including one of oily fish, for good overall health, but there’s also evidence to suggest that adding oily fish to your diet can help to eliminate acne. This is because it can lower inflammation in your body, and that may help keep acne away. Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF30 can also help to reduce acne-causing inflammation.

Leafy Greens

Leafy Greens are great acne-fighters for a number of reasons. Firstly, there’s evidence to suggest that more fibre in your diet can help to banish acne. Secondly, dark greens such as spinach, kale, spring greens and broccoli contain iron and a plethora of vitamins which bolster your immune system and help your body to fight unwanted bacteria. Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Booster will also help to kill off the same bacteria.

Nettles

You might think of nettles as the annoying things that sting your legs on a summer walk, but nettles have anti-inflammatory properties which make them an effective ally against acne. They’re also extremely detoxifying, thanks to high levels of antioxidants which protect the body from the over-production of free radicals – chemicals which can cause damage to proteins, fats, carbohydrates and DNA in the body. Elemis Superfood Facial Wash also contains nettle, which acts as a gentle astringent and has anti-inflammatory properties.

We bet you cleanse and moisturise, but we suspect that you don’t always tone.

Are we right?

If we are, you are missing out on a vital step in your skin care routine, so today we are going to showcase some of the toners we sell at Pure Beauty, and talk about why they are worth using.

We love the Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist, as do many of our customers. This soothing toner offers critical hydration, relieves inflammation and helps your skin to recover from damage. The unique UltraCalming™ Complex helps reduce sensitivity, redness and irritation, while Aloe soothes and the antiseptic qualities of Lavender, desensitises. After cleansing, spray the mist over your face, throat and neck and let the goodness sink in.

The Elemis Rehydrating Ginseng Toner is fabulous because as well as helping to level out PH levels, it also preserves your important natural oils. It’s the Ginseng that stimulates sluggish complexions, but also soothes and conditions tight, dry skin. Sweet Betty Flower rebalances skin without the need for alcohol and the overall effect is soft, happy skin that is fresh and ready to be moisturised.

Holidays might seem like a time when you can scrimp on toner, but there’s no excuse with the Decleor Essential Tonifying Lotion. This gorgeous toner now comes in a 50ml bottle, making it perfect for keeping your skin in tip-top condition when you are away. The soft lotion gently tones and reduces dryness as it moisturises your skin. Gentle and paraben-free, with Néroli Essential Oil that protects and repairs the skin whilst helping to fight dehydration, means your skin will look radiant.

Teenagers, or anyone with breakout prone skin, might think less is more when it comes to beauty products, but if you don’t use a toner you are missing a trick. The Dermalogica All Over Toner is a beautiful mist that controls excess oil and helps to eliminate breakouts thanks to the inclusion of Salicylic Acid. A blend of twelve gentle botanical ingredients refresh, energise and revive skin and thanks to antiseptic and anti-microbial Tea Tree, bacteria is no more. If you do have problem areas, before using a moisturiser, you could use the Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Booster. This fast-acting treatment works in 15 minutes and is great for rapid skin clearing. Phytoplankton Extract works with skin’s natural microbiome so it isn’t over dried, and a seaweed-derived extract soothes irritated skin.

The Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner tones your skin and leaves you with a fresh, clear complexion. Free from alcohol and harsh chemicals, this toner contains Extracts of Lavender, Sweet Betty Flower and Saponins which come together to soften your skin. By simply wiping a little of the liquid over your face after cleansing, you will remove any traces of your cleanser, brighten your complexion and encourage your moisturiser or night cream to really work for you.

If a toner is missing from your life, get in touch and we will help find your missing skincare link.

We Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside!

We all love the seaside, here at Pure Beauty – the sun, sand, deck chairs and a cheeky ice cream…what’s not to love? But there’s even more to love about the sea, namely the wonderful, skin-nourishing ingredients that we can find beneath the waves. We’ve put together a list of five of our favourite products which are derived from things found in the sea, so you can see the benefits of marine-based extracts.

Dermalogica Power Rich

Marine botanicals are particularly powerful in the fight against ageing, which is why this moisturiser for prematurely ageing skin contains red seaweed extract to help stimulate and strengthen damaged tissue while supplying vital nutrients to help reduce fine, dry lines, resurface and regenerate skin. It’s also rich in phytic acid and hyaluronic acid to aid in softening and exfoliating the skin.

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel

If your complexion is looking dull and lacklustre, you’ll need a potent pick-me-up to give you your zing back. This peel from Elemis contains bladderwrack, seaweed also known as fucus vesiculosus, which s rich in minerals and trace elements and has powerful moisturising properties. Papain from papaya gently lifts dead skin cells while bromelain from pineapple purifies the skin.

Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream

This cream from Jan Marini is specifically designed to target the eyes and contains algae extract which helps soften, smooth, hydrate, firm and define the appearance of the eye area. It provides dramatic reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and results in smoother, more supple looking skin.

Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Booster

Often, ocean-derived ingredients are associated with anti-ageing, but here, Dermalogica has harnessed the soothing power of seaweed to help control acne-prone skin. The spot-busting formula also contains phytoplankton extract which will work with skin’s natural microbiome and help prevent over drying.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum

Arguably, Elemis is the home of some of the best marine-based products on the market, with its own range of Marine Creams. But this serum also contains seaweed extract and is just as deserving of a place on your shelf. It firms, smooths and lifts the skin, giving immediate tightening and firming results for a “face lifting” effect.
