Using seasonal produce is a great way to ensure that the body gets what it needs when it needs it; things which appear at certain times often contain essential nutrients which are ideal for their season. Winter is the season for almonds, which are not only highly nutritious, containing essential fats, they’re also a fabulous ingredient in beauty products. Here’s our top 5 almond-containing products from Decleor, Dermalogica and Elemis.

Decleor Essential Cleansing Milk

Almond oil is an incredibly nourishing ingredient which infuses moisture into the skin, reducing tightness and leaving it feeling soft and supple. This cleansing milk from Decleor contains sweet almond oil, among other ingredients, to cleanse the skin, remove all traces of make-up and daily dirt, and tighten pores for a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Elemis De-Stress Massage Oil

Almond oil is both moisturising and very neutral, making it the perfect carrier oil for other combinations of fragrant oils for massage therapy. This oil from Elemis is designed to de-stress the muscles and combines rosewood, melissa, marjoram, geranium, rosemary, lavender and chamomile in an almond base for regenerative results.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand and Nail Treatment

The hands and nails benefit hugely from moisturising products as they often have to deal with the harshest elements, such as cold weather and washing dishes, which contribute to dryness. This non-greasy hand and nail treatment from Dermalogica is made on an almond oil base and helps to repair chapped hands and strengthen brittle nails.

Decleor Micellar Oil

Micellar oil is a revolutionary way to cleanse the skin, which uses the powerful combination of oil and water to work deep into the pores, dissolving and dispersing dirt and impurities and removing all traces of make-up. Almond oil ensures hydration and make-up melting power, and even works on waterproof cosmetics.

Elemis Hydra-Nourish Night Cream

Almond oil contains oleic and linoleic fatty acids, as well as containing vitamins A, B1, B2 and B6, all of which are essential for youthful, well-balanced skin. This night cream from Elemis is a rich formulation which works intensively while you sleep to deeply hydrate the skin, regulating skin hydration, and helping to maintain skin’s firmness. Geranium and ylang-ylang add to the sweet fragrance of the formula, reviving the senses and counteracting stress, anxiety and depression.

Whether it’s a routine operation or an unexpected visit, not many of us can say we actually enjoy being in hospital. Although we’re huge fans of the NHS, the food is usually fairly grim, wards are either too hot or too cold and being around all of those other ill people can feel a bit oppressive! Never fear though, Pure Beauty have some fabulous suggestions of products that you can pack in your hospital bag which will make life a little more bearable.

Decleor 24 Hour Hydrating Cream Light

Hospital wards are notoriously too warm and sitting around in the heat all day can make you feel totally dried out. Using a good moisturiser can make all the difference and this light hydrating cream from Decleor is suitable for all skin types, allowing you to put back all of the lost hydration and avoid that tight, itchy dry skin feeling.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand and Nail Treatment

Keeping your hands clean when in hospital is really important because you don’t want to be picking up any additional germs, so you’ll probably be washing your hands and using drying alcohol gels more than usual. Keep some of this Dermalogica hand treatment on your bedside table and use it to stop your hands from becoming dry and cracking.

Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash

If you’re in hospital for any length of time, keeping yourself sane is half of the battle towards healing, which means being able to keep up with normal rituals like having a nice bath or shower and wearing clean PJs! Stick some of this luxurious, relaxing body wash in your bag to help you forget that you’re using a hospital bathroom and not your own.

Dermalogica Sheer Tint SPF20

For many of us, being unable to wear make up whilst in hospital can really add to feelings of being under the weather – this can be even worse if you’re in having a baby and people want to take pictures of you with a bare face after giving birth! This tint from Dermalogica gives a wash of colour and a splash of moisture, making you look and feel more healthy and less washed out.

Decleor Flash Radiance Mask

Being in hospital isn’t always bad – being confined to a bed sometimes means that you have no choice but to catch up on some sleep, read, binge-watch Netflix, and it can be the perfect opportunity for a bit of pampering too! Why not turn your hospital stay into something positive by treating your face with a mask, such as this one from Decleor which adds immediate radiance to the skin – you’ll come out of hospital looking better than before you went in!

One of the most common reasons for new customers coming to Pure Beauty is because they want to combat the signs of ageing and renew their youthfulness. There are lots of areas of the face where ageing can be a problem, so we’ve compiled a list to help you to get the best products for your specific problem.

Eyes

The skin around the eyes is perhaps the most delicate of the whole face and needs really specific products to keep the signs of ageing at bay. Decleor Regenerating Eye and Lip Cream has been formulated for use on the most delicate of areas and helps reduce puffiness and dark circles around eyes and smoothes fragile contours to regenerate, plump and invigorate the eye.

Mouth

The lips are the area of the face which move the most and as such are prone to fine lines around the outside, especially if you’ve been or are a smoker. Dermalogica Lip Renewal Complex is designed to replenish lost moisture in the lips and surrounding area minimising contour lines and helping to prevent the signs of ageing.

Hands

People often neglect the skin on their hands but it’s usually the area of the body which gets the roughest deal. Between gardening, harsh chemicals in cleaning products and a million other things that ruin the condition of your hands, they probably need MORE care than the rest of your body, not less! Decleor Dark Spot Corrector Concentrate can be used anywhere on your body where there are areas of hyper-pigmentation, but it’s great for use on your hands where these spots are often at their worst.

Body

When we think of ageing, we usually concentrate on our faces but our bodies can show signs of ageing too. Opting for a potent serum like Decleor Youth Activator Body Serum, which can be used all over your body, will help to replenish lost moisture and nutrients, encourage cell regrowth and will help to smooth and firm your whole body.

Nails

You may think that nails can’t show signs of age, but even they can become brittle, dry and discoloured as we age, so using a dedicated nail treatment like Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand and Nail Treatment is a really good idea. It’s a non-greasy treatment which will strengthen your nails and help to reverse discolouration, giving your hands their youthful looks back.
