Whether it’s outbreaks, fine lines, redness, sensitivity or dryness, at Pure Beauty we are confidence we have a product, or two, that can help save your skin.

Redness
If redness is the bane of your life, the Dermalogica Redness Relief Essence is just for you. This lightweight toner gently calms and balances sensitive skin, leaving it feeling soothed and rested. Concentrated like a serum, this product has a refreshing formula that not only deals with redness but thanks to a gentle blend of ingredients it helps relieve, restore and hydrate skin so that discomfort and dehydration is taken out of the equation.

Sensitive skin
The Elemis Hydra-Boost Sensitive Day Cream is the perfect antidote to sensitive skin. This anti-oxidant rich, calming, fragrance-free day cream offers hydration to even the most sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture, while naturally rich anti-oxidant Mirabilis Jalapa and orange blossom milk, soothe, moisturise and comfort. Used on a daily basis, after toning, your skin will start to feel more balanced, calmer and beautifully hydrated.

Fine lines
Age, genetics, water intake and environmental issues all play a part in fine lines, but there are products that can ease them. We love the Decleor Mandarine Smoothing Oil Serum as it can help with the first signs of ageing and correct both the fine lines and wrinkles that come to us all, and it smells pretty good to. A unique blend of hazelnut, sunflower and camellia oils means that from the first use skin appears even and radiant. This can be used morning and night and it is suggested you warm two drops between your palms and then massage into cleansed skin, and then apply your moisturiser.

Acne attacks
Most people suffer from some form of acne during their lives, and not just when they are teenagers. There are many reasons for spots to occur, but there is one thing we know and that is that the Dermalogica Breakout Control works at getting rid of them. This is an effective, invisible cream that clears, controls and prevents breakouts thanks to a gentle but effective mix of ingredients. The silky, fast-absorbing formula starts to work on application, soothing the skin as bacteria is taken away.

Sad eyes
The skin around our eyes is super thin which means it’s one of the first places to show signs of ageing. The Jan Marini C-ESTA Eye Repair Concentrate comes with high levels of vitamin C along with DMAE and CoEnzyme Q10 which together address the visible signs of ageing around the eyes. Regular application can lead to the reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and because the complex encourages collagen production, skin looks tighter, firmer and so much healthier too.

If you suffer with acne or have a tendency to break out in spots, there’s a good chance that you’re religious about sticking to a skincare routine. However, if it seems like your skincare isn’t doing a good job, you could be missing one of these five things, which can all exacerbate acneic skin.

Dirty Glasses

If you wear glasses, the frames are probably in contact with your skin for most of the day and can harbour germs and bacteria from the sebum in your skin. Failing to disinfect your glasses can cause nasty outbreaks, but try to use a plastic-friendly cleaner if your frames aren’t metal as high alcohol content could make them brittle.

Wash Cloths

If you use a washcloth like the Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth or Elemis Luxury Cleansing Cloth Duo, they probably do a great job of keeping your skin clean. However, keeping your cloths clean is imperative, so make sure you put them through the washing machine at least once a week to keep bacteria at bay.

Spicy Food

Even if you don’t have a specific food intolerance, eating spicy food can cause an inflammatory response in your body, which can lead to spots and redness on your face. Try to avoid food which is too hot, or if you must indulge, use Dermalogica Breakout Control afterwards.

Hair Products

Hair products go on our head, not your face, right? WRONG! Hair products can spread onto your face throughout the day and can block pores and cause inflammation. Try to avoid hair products which are wax-based if you’re prone to acne, and ensure you wash your hairline thoroughly with Dermalogica Foaming Wash in the evening, once your hair doesn’t need to remain styled.

Beards

Got a partner with a beard, or worse, stubble? Well, we hate to break it to you, but spending an extended amount of time kissing and cuddling a person with facial hair can have a terrible effect on your complexion. As well as being abrasive to the skin and causing redness and irritation, beards can also harbour bacteria (unless the wearer is scrupulous about cleanliness) which can make acne worse.

Are Your Intolerances Affecting Your Face?

There are many food intolerances which affect people and it’s a common misconception that the effects of these intolerances are mainly gastric. It is, however, normal for certain intolerances to affect your complexion and there are specific ways that each one can affect you. Today, we’re looking at some of the most common intolerances and the effects that they can have on your face.

Sugar

Sugar is in just about everything these days because it’s cheap and makes things taste better (and makes foods more addictive), but it can really mess up your gut biome and this in turn can have an effect on your skin. If your system is sensitive to sugar, the bacteria which live in your gut can go a little bit haywire, causing dry patches and pimples on your forehead, bags under the eyes, a lack of tautness in the skin and even thinning skin. Obviously, cutting out sugar (or at least cutting down) is a must, but Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift can also drastically improve the appearance of eye bags, while Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm will help to tighten loose skin.

Dairy

Dairy intolerances are really comon and many people report uncomfortable bloating, digestive issues and acid reflux, but it can also cause an inflammatory response in other parts of the body. This means that you could end up with puffiness in the face, as well as dark circles under the eyes and even pimples on the chin. After switching to a dairy alternative, use Dermalogica Breakout Control to deal with the spots and Decleor Anti-Dark Circle Multi-Brightening Eye Care to brighten the eye area.

Gluten

Gluten can be a hard one to avoid, especially if you’re keen on carbs, but a gluten intolerance can have an impact on the whole body. In terms of your skin, one of the most common signs of a gluten intolerance is keratosis pilaris, a rough, chicken-skin effect which affects the skin on your arms, thighs and occasionally your abdomen. We highly recommend using Elemis Body Detox Skin Brush to brush the whole body before bathing or showering which will help to reduce the rough appearance of the skin and help to stop extra skin cells from forming around the existing problem areas.

It’s the end of August which means that Autumn is on it’s way, school will be restarting again soon and the lazy summer days will be replaced with routine and structure, especially for those in education. Whether you’re starting a new school, college or university, you’ll want to be doing so with the best skin possible, so we’re going to show you five products which can help:

Dermalogica UltraCalming Redness Relief Primer SPF20

Sensitised skin can be difficult to control, and many products will add to the problem. This primer from Dermalogica is designed to minimise redness, mattify the skin by controlling sebum production and provide a good base on which to put make-up, giving you the confidence of knowing that your foundation will stay in place all day. It contains a green tint which counteracts redness and an SPF which protects the skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

Elemis Tea Tree S.O.S. Spray

This S.O.S. Spray from Elemis might not be a lifesaver, as such, but it’s definitely a SKIN saver – the cooling teat tree will help to soothe over-sensitised skin while the anti-bacterial properties will kill spot-causing bacteria, helping you to cut the cause of breakouts before they even occur. It can be sprayed directly onto the face to help speed up the healing process if you’ve already had a breakout, and can even be used on other cuts and abrasions for an antibacterial and antiviral barrier.

Dermalogica Breakout Control

If your skin is prone to acne or hormonal breakouts, it can be tricky to know when breakouts are going to happen and treat them before the fact. This lotion from Dermalogica is a fast-but-gentle formulation which is designed to target the bacteria which causes breakouts to halt them in their tracks, and contains natural sponges to absorb sebum which can make the skin oily. It contains soothing ingredients which help to calm the skin and reduce sebum production and is gentle enough to be used daily, under your normal moisturiser.

Elemis White Brightening Even Tone Cleanser

Keeping your skin super clean is the first step to staying breakout-free but that can be tricky as some cleansers irritate the skin and make spots worse. This cleanser from Elemis has been designed for daily use and gently removes impurities, reduces the appearance of excess oil and reveals a super-clean and mattified complexion. Skin is left smoother, brighter and naturally illuminated, as well as being clean and clear.

Dermalogica All Over Toner

This toner is the perfect product for keeping in your school bag as it provides a much-needed spritz of cooling toner, right when your skin needs it the most. It calms redness, kills spot-causing bacteria and helps to keep spot and acne prone skin under control. It’s perfect for teenage skin and can either be sprayed directly onto the face, or wiped onto problematic area with a cotton pad.

The Health Benefits of Drinking Red Wine

It’s that time of year when most of us like a little tipple with some festive nibbles and everyone is left feeling guilty about leaving their diet on the sidelines. However, if you make the right choices, a treat needn’t be the end of the world and there are actually several health benefits to having a small glass or two of wine in the evening. Read on to find out how wine can have a positive impact on your health (and help absolve yourself of Christmas guilt!)

Increases Longevity

Red wine is packed with antioxidants, and it’s been proven in several long-range studies that people who drink red wine regularly actually live longer. A 29-year study of almost 2500 Finnish men showed that wine drinkers have a 34 percent lower mortality rate than beer or spirits drinkers. We can’t guarantee that it won’t speed up the ageing process if you indulge too much, though!

Lowers the Risk of Heart Disease

From the outside, it may seem as though the French should be more prone to heart disease, given their love of rich food and drink, but actually their rates of heart disease are much lower than here in the UK. Wines from France are packed with tannins which contain procyanidins, helping to protect against heart disease. Wines from Sardinia and southwest France have more procyanidins than other wines.

Wine Protects the Eyes

For many people, deteriorating eyesight and developing cataracts (you know, where the eyes look milky) is just a fact of life and something which is inevitable with age. However, a study of over a thousand individuals in Iceland showed that moderate drinkers are 32 percent less likely to get cataracts than non-drinkers; those who consume wine are 43 percent less likely to develop cataracts than those drinking mainly beer.

Prevents Spots

Believe it or not, red wine contains something which could help if you suffer with acneic breakouts. Resveratrol is a natural phenol which can kill bacteria, and just so happens to be contained in red wine. Use it alongside Dermalogica Breakout Control for practically perfect skin.

Cut the Risk of Tooth Decay

Red wine contains many bacteria-killing enzymes and when it comes into contact with the nasties which live on your teeth, it neutralises them, cutting your risk of developing tooth decay in the process. Don’t drink too much in one sitting though – purple teeth are a dead giveaway!
