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.

New year, new skincare?

We all tend to stick with what we know when it comes to beauty products, but with a new year upon us we think it might be time to try something new!

The Decleor Organic Harmonie Calm Soothing Comfort 2 in1 Cream and Mask is an organic, 100% natural product is a great pick me up for sensitive skin. Rose Essential Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Centella Asiatica Extract have been blended together to soothe skin, even tone and keep complexions happy all day. You can either apply to cleansed skin and use as a daily moisturiser, or you can put on a thicker layer once a week and leave to completely sink into your skin and bring it back to life.

We love the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser simply because regular use leaves skin softer, smoother and more refined than ever. The soap free formula is non irritating and when you rinse it away, there is no need for a toner because the work is already done. Excellent for acne and breakout prone skin, the secret to the success of this cleanser is the Glycolic Acid which aids follicular cleansing – give it a go, we think you might like it.

While no one sees them, your feet take the brunt of your body every day, so why not treat them with the Nailtiques Avocado Foot Cream in 2019? This cream has been specially created to help heal rough, dry and cracked skin and it does this with the help of super rich Avocado Oil. Simply apply the silky smooth cream into your legs, feet and heels, concentrating especially on those unloved areas and watch the skin transform from hard and unsightly to soft and beautiful.

If you aren’t ready to go under the knife, but need a little extra care when it comes to your eyes, the Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks could be what you have been looking for. Potent Plankton Extract has been combined with Padina Pavonica and Chlorella to offer an instant skin tightening effect. Hyaluronic Acid has been added into the mix because of the hydration properties it offers, and the result is visibly smoother, intensely moisturised, youthful eyes after just 20 minutes.

Life is better with a serum, and a good place to start is with the Dermalogica Gentle Soothing Booster. This popular, oil-free treatment helps to reduce redness and gives your skin the chance to recover from daily stress. Thanks to Red Raspberry Extract, Honey as well as Calendula, Chamomile and Cornflower, irritation is eased and natural moisture levels are restored.

If the bleak mid winter has left your skin feeling below par, we suggest you let the Elemis Hydra-Nourish Night Cream get to work as you sleep. This anti-oxidant rich night cream helps to seal in moisture as well as nourishing and de-stressing tired, dull skin, thanks to a blend of Persian Silk Tree Extract and Hyaluronic Acid. A gorgeous blend of Geranium and Ylang Ylang means not only is your calm and rebalanced when you wake, it smells amazing as you fall asleep.

Don’t just wash and go in the shower, take in the Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth and you can exfoliate your entire body as you cleanse it. Perfect to use with the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash, this Japanese spa inspired cloth smooths away rough skin, in even the most hard-to-reach areas, and leaves it feeling soft and smooth.

Got your eye on something but not sure if it is for you, then get in touch and we can give you more advice to ensure your skin is in tip-top condition in 2019.

Happy new year.

We have all heard that it is important to exfoliate, but why is that and what exactly does it do? Exfoliation gently removes the dulling top layer of dead skin cells from of the epidermis which then encourages cells to renew so that skin is refreshed as well as clean and clear.

At Pure Beauty, we sell a range of products that could help you exfoliate your way to better skin, so let’s have a look at them.

A popular product with our customers is the Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant and for good reason. Suitable for all skin types, except sensitive, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Sulphur and fruit enzymes have been combined and together help remove dead skin and promote cell renewal. Used once or twice a week, the conditioning botanical extracts soothe your skin and combat dryness so you have a smoother, happier complexion.

For a real beauty treat, we love the Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator. This gorgeous product contains micro-spherical Jojoba beads which have been blended with hydrating Rose Absolute and together they gently exfoliate the surface of the skin leaving it silky smooth and soft. This can be used once a week and you simply massage a little of the product into cleansed skin using light circular motions, then remove with warm water, pat dry and apply your moisturiser. Free from parabens, mineral oil and artificial colours, this exfoliator leaves skin looking smoother and brighter from the very first application.

The Decleor Phytopeel Smooth Exfoliating Cream is a lovely cream formula which exfoliates and smoothes the epidermis. It gently absorbs and eliminates impurities, and because it does not contain exfoliating particles, it the gentlest and most natural way to renew your skin. As well as removing dead cells, Phytopeel cleanses the skin and helps stimulate the renewal process so you are left with a healthy glow.

We are big fans of the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant which is gentle enough to use on a daily basis. This unique, rice-based enzyme powder micro-exfoliates the skin, instantly leaving it noticeably smoother and brighter. It is suitable for all skin types and the blend of Green Tea, Ginkgo, and Colloidal Oatmeal calms inflammation, leaves skin looking clear and refreshed after every use.

For something a little different, why not try the Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads? This is an innovative, refining treatment that gently encourages the skin’s surface cell renewal cycle. For results that rejuvenate, revitalise and smooth the skin, slide the pad, texture side down, over your face in a circular motion morning and evening, after cleansing and this will boost and leave you with a clear, luminous complexion.

We also sell a range of accessories including the Dermalogica Exfoliating Face Brush, Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth and the Elemis Luxury Cleansing Cloth Duo which can enhance cleansing and help get your skin in the best condition ever.
