Whether you’re a falsies girl, you have semi-permanent lashes, or you prefer to go all natural, lashes are really important to framing your face and finishing a look. However, many women still have bad habits which cause them to lose lashes and stunt growth, so we thought we’d take a look at some of the bad habits that many women have, so that you can protect your lashes in the future:

Using Harsh Cleansers

We all know that taking your make-up off before bed is important, but using harsh cleansers which aren’t designed for use around your eyes can cause your lashes to fall out in much greater numbers than usual. Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make Up Remover is designed to gently remove all traces of make-up and contains silk amino acids to help strengthen lashes and condition the delicate eye lid area.

Using Old Mascara

We know that it can be annoying to replace make-up every few months, especially if you’ve bought a high-end brand or still have loads left in the tube, but using old mascara can leave you prone to lash-loss and eye infections. Infections can damage hair follicles and could permanently affect your eyelash growth.

Too Much DIY

If you have eyelash extensions, proper care should mean than your natural lashes aren’t affected. However, pulling them out yourself instead of getting them professionally removed can pull your lashes out and damage the lids, leaving you prone to scarring and infection. Always allow a qualified technician to do your removal.

Neglecting Your Eye Area

Your eye area is delicate and needs regular care to stay in the best condition possible. Even if you don’t feel that you need an eye cream for anti-ageing purposes, using one to keep the whole eye area in good condition is essential for healthy lash growth. Dermalogica Total Eye Care SPF15 is ideal and will protect you from UV rays, too.

Rubbing Your Eyes Too Much

It’s the end of a long day, you’ve removed your make-up and you feel like rubbing your tired eyes. STOP! Rubbing your eyes can prematurely loosen lashes at their roots and can make lashes fall out way before their time. Try to keep your hands away from your eyes to protect your lashes.

Don’t go to bed with your make-up on

After a long day at work, office drinks and having to stand up on the train all the way home, taking your make up off before jumping into bed might be the last thing you want to do. We get it, but we also know that leaving foundation, mascara and highlighter on as you sleep, can play havoc with your skin, so those extra few minutes in the bathroom before you hit the sack, are totally worth it.

At Pure Beauty we think we have got this covered, and have something that will be right for everyone, whatever their age and however hard they like to party.

While getting that smoky eye perfect can take ages, taking it away is super easy with the Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make Up Remover. This efficient, clean-rinsing formula dissolves all traces of eye make-up including stubborn mascara, as well as heavy lip liner too. Oil and alcohol-free, as well as water-soluble, this conditioning gel not only cleans but thanks to Silk Amino Acids it helps to strengthen eye lashes and condition the delicate lid area at the same time. Simple to use, this gentle formula won’t cause irritation or stinging, which makes it perfect for all skin types and ideal for contact lens wearers – just remember to take those babies out before nodding off!

Teenagers love make-up and sleep, so they might want to try the Dermalogica Foaming Wash if they want to keep their skin blemish free. Orange Peel and Tea Tree Oil energises and refreshes skin, while Salicylic Acid deals with dead cells and trapped oil so that breakouts are tackled and kept under control. Gentle but effective, this face wash can be used morning and evening and is the perfect introduction to a great skin care routine for life.

If you like make-up with staying power, the Elemis Nourishing Omega-Rich Cleansing Oil could be good for you. Brilliant for removing waterproof make-up, and ideal for oily skin, this popular cleanser not only soothes and softens your skin but it lifts impurities away at the same time.

Want to try something new, then how about the Decleor Bi-phase Caring Cleanser and Makeup Remover? Powered by a scientific blend of Virgin Botanical Oils and Floral Water, not only does this product cleanse and nourish your skin, but it takes away all traces of make-up too. Decleor have create a revolutionary formula which softens, plumps and soothes skin which together boosts radiance, so add it to your basket and put it to the test.

For clean, smooth, refined skin you don’t need surgery, what you need is the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser. We love this gentle, soap-free cleanser because not only does it wash away the day, but it leaves your skin feeling amazingly hydrated thanks to sorbitol, a natural humectant derived from berries. The non-irritating formula easily rinses away, and works well with the brand’s Bioglycolic Bioclear Cream which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, redness, acne scarring, large pores and uneven texture.

These days it seems more than ever that there is a trend of heavily made up faces. Between the Kardashians and the girls from TOWIE, normal women have been following suit and wearing make-up which looks heavy and glamorous in their everyday lives. Contouring is huge, as are fake lashes, heavily coloured lips and smoky eyes. The problem is, heavy make-up can play havoc with your skin, so we thought we’d take a look at what you should be using to remove your make-up if you favour a full-on look:

Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make Up Remover

Using a specific eye make-up remover is a good idea because of the ingredients in eye make-up which make it longer-lasting and therefore harder to remove. This cleanser contains arnica, balm mint, lavender and aloe to remove all traces of dirt whilst also soothing the delicate eye area. It’s suitable for all skin conditions from dry to oily.

Decleor Soothing Micellar Water

This soft fragrance-free micellar water from Decleor is perfect for sensitive skin types or skin which has been over-sensitised by external irritants. It’s a 3-in-1 cleanser, toner and make-up remover which means you don’t need additional products although following your cleansing routine with a moisturiser is a good idea.

Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque

Using heavy make-up is one of the main causes of combination skin as it can both dry out sensitive areas and cause over-production of sebum, leaving some areas needing moisture and other areas which need something to mob up excess oil. Adding Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque into your routine would be a good way to improve your skin and get it back to looking its best.

Decleor Youth Cleansing Milk

This cleanser is perfect of you have skin which is showing the signs of age as it not only removes make-up and dirt but also has extreme hydrating powers which will add moisture to the skin and plump up areas with wrinkles and fine lines. It contains sweet almond oil which gently cleanses the skin without causing any irritation, while hyaluronic acid reduces dryness and smoothes the surface of the skin.

Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner

Using a toner after deeply cleansing the skin is a good idea as it will replace any moisture which is lost during the cleansing process, as well as helping to close the pores and soothing the skin. This spray-on from Dermalogica is perfect for use throughout the day and is suitable for all skin types.

Help! It’s Hayfever Season

It’s that time of year again where eyes are red, noses are streaming and everyone is slightly cheesed off. No, we’re not talking about England being knocked out of the Euros, we’re talking about hayfever season! Of course, there’s lots of things you can do to help with hayfever, such as the obvious antihistamines and the less obvious local honey, but there are also several products from Dermalogica and Decleor which can help with the less-than-desirable symptoms and side effects. Here’s a few of them –

Red, itchy eyes

One of the first places to suffer with hayfever is the eyes – constant watering and irritation can leave you feeling as though someone has rubbed sand on your eyeballs. Wearing make-up can often make things worse, but many women feel naked without it, especially when they’re already feeling run down. Make sure you use a gentle, soothing eye make up remover such as Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make Up Remover to remove all traces and give your eyes a chance to calm down and then apply Decleor Harmonie Calm Relaxing Milky Gel-Cream for Eyes to reduce redness and irritation.

Sore skin

Constantly wiping your nose with tissue when its running can leave the skin red raw and feeling very sore. Using a layer of petroleum jelly under your nose will stop the moisture from chapping your skin and treating it with a layer of Dermalogica Soothing Shave Cream can also help. Although it’s designed for shaving, the chapping effect is very similar, so a layer of this super soothing cream can really reduce irritation and redness.

Tiredness

Another, less talked about, symptom of hayfever is fatigue. Sleep is very often disturbed during hayfever season because breathing is blocked and the body is under duress during the day, which all adds up to feeling like you’ve no energy. Lack of sleep can lead to dark circles under the eyes, so it’s wise to opt for a product like Decleor Dark Circle and Eye Wrinkle Eraser, which can reduce the appearance of dark circles and keep your eye area looking refreshed.

Stress

The problem with hayfever is that, unlike having a cold, it can last for months and by the end of hayfever season we’re feeling more than a little stressed out. Massage is a great way to help to relieve stress and Dermalogica Stress Relief Treatment Oil is perfect for keeping the skin soft and supple, as well as soothing the sense with its unique blend of aromas. Lavender, Sandlewood and Orange aide relaxation and help to increase your sense of well-being.
