Say gel, and people immediately think of sticky hair products or shaving toiletries.

Stop right there, because that simply isn’t the case.

At Pure Beauty, we sell a wide range of gel based products for sensitive, oily, ageing, young and dehydrated complexions that are lightweight, melt into the skin and don’t leave shine or residue.

The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is an easy to use, soap-free, foaming gel designed to remove the dirt of the day without disturbing the skin’s natural moisture balance. Calming Balm Mint and Lavender extracts have been blended with Quillaja Saponaria and together they foam away toxins and deep-cleanse the skin. Used morning and night, this is the perfect gel addition to any effective beauty routine.

Great Burdock and Erysimum, White Truffle and Cherry might sound like the ingredients of a delicious cake, but are acutally at the heart of the Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask. Used for around ten minutes at a time, the gel gets to work encouraging re-texturising of the skin and sebum level balancing and because the natural pH levels aren’t damaged, when it is rinsed away skin feels soft, smoothed and looks radient.

If you suffer with breakouts, you might want to give the Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel a go? A Vitamin B complex has been combined with Zinc Gluconate, Yeast Extract and Caffeine which come together to sooth irritation, deal with over active sebaceous glands and purify the skin. Rosemary and Spiraea extracts stop bacteria from growing and naturally-antiseptic Tea Tree Oil helps to gently heal sore skin.

We love the Jan Marini Luminate Eye Gel when it comes to reducing dark circles and as well as the fine lines and wrinkles that can get you down. Suitable for all skin types, and rich in Vitamin E, Linolenic Acid and Retinol, this gel has been designed to be used sparingly morning and evening and leaves the delicate eye area looking smoother because it is more hydrated.

If the heat is playing havoc with your skin, then the lush Dermalogica Sleep Sound Cocoon Night Gel-Cream is here to help. This revitalising treatment transforms skin overnight by optimising natural night time recovery. Tamarind Seed Extract helps with the hydration process, Wu-Zhu-Yu Extract provides visibly radiant skin by morning, while Persian Silk Tree Extract reduces signs of skin fatigue and restores vitality. What’s not to like? Smooth over face and neck after toning and let the motion activated essential oils get to work as your dream.

The Elemis Instant Refreshing Gel is just what you need for tired legs and tight muscles around the shoulders, neck, temples and forehead. Arnica, Birch and Witch Hazel have been blended with Camphor and Menthol to create a multi-functional, instant revitaliser that is very popular with our customers. The cooling action of the Menthol reduces swelling and relieves muscle strains, the analgesic properties of the Camphor speeds up the recovery of aches and pains while Arnica helps reduce swelling and is an excellent treatment for bruising.

Chewing gum, tea and toothpaste are probably what spring to mind when it comes to mint, but thanks to the cooling properties of this multi-talented herb, it is also the key ingredient in many beauty products.

We have had a look at just a few of the ones we love here at Pure Beauty and think you might like them too.

The Elemis Devils Mint Body Scrub gently cleanses the body, whilst removing dead cells, leaving skin feeling smooth and this is why it is on our list of bathroom must-haves. Packed with Seaplant Particles, Devils Apron Seaweed and Peppermint Essential Oil when applied to damp skin using circular motions, the results are impressive. Especially effective on problem areas like your feet, knees and elbows, continued use will leave your skin looking better than ever so you will want to show it off by the pool or on the beach.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a soap-free, foaming gel designed to remove the impurities on our skin without disturbing the natural moisture balance, and that is no easy task. Calming Balm Mint and Lavender Extracts soothe the skin, while Quillaja Saponaria foams away dirt and toxins. Simply apply a small amount of lathered gel to wet skin and concentrate on areas of congestion and oiliness. Then rinse with tepid water and repeat to ensure toxins and debris have been washed away and skin is revived and happy once again.

Together with Geranium, Lavender, Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Ho Wood, Orange and Clove, Mint is one of the ingredients in the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. This powerful, deep cleansing balm also contains Rose and Mimosa waxes which are infused with nourishing Elderberry, Starflower and Optimega oils and supercharged with anti-ageing algae – wow! After using to remove the dirt of the day, skin is intensely cleansed, nourished and renewed leaving you with a glowing complexion and a smile.

Formulated without artificial fragrances and colours, the Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner helps to condition your skin and prepare it for when you apply your moisturiser. Arnica and Cucumber extracts help keep skin smooth and refreshed, while Lavender purifies it and Balm Mint cools and softens it. Add a bottle to your gym bag or suitcase when you go on holiday and it really will help to keep your skin calm when the heat is on.

If waking up is a hard job for you, why not jump into the shower with the Elemis Sharp Shower Body Wash? This fresh, invigorating body wash is packed with both Spearmint and Peppermint essential oils as well as Nettle, Wild Marjoram, Marshmallow, Chamomile and Thyme which are all wrapped up in a Soya, Wheat and Milk Protein base. As well as you skin being cleaned your senses are woken and your brain is alert for the day ahead.

If you want to care for your lips, you need to add the Elemis Lip Revive to your basket. Sunflower Oil helps to moisturise, nourish and regenerate the skin, while Beeswax repairs it. Wild Mint has been added for cooling and soothing, while Peppermint refreshes. This really is a mint fuelled pocket rocket of skin goodness that tastes great too!

While a shower might refresh you after a long hot day in the sun, there is still something special about having a bath before you go to bed.

As well as washing away the dirt of the day, a soak can help you to relax, ease aches and pains and also help you to deal with stresses and worries as screens will be out of the way and there will be no one to bother you.

At Pure Beauty we sell some gorgeous products that will turn your humble tub into a spa haven so you can get some much-needed R&R.

Let’s get this slumber party started with the Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath. This amazing Milk Protein based product is super rich in Vitamins, Amino Acids and Minerals which makes it perfect for dry skin that needs a little extra love. Plant Collagen from Japanese Camellia Oil and Oat Extract means that your skin is nourished the moment you sink into the silky water and when used use every other day for nine days, you will really start to see a difference in softness and texture.

Whether it’s because of swimming, golf or being outside gardening, if your body is tired then add the Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak to your bath each evening. Energising extracts of Birch, Juniper, Clove, Alpine Lavender, Wild Thyme and Blue Chamomile have been mixed with Sea Salt for a blend that warms muscles and recharges the body and mind. Adding just three capfuls of this powerful aromatherapy deep heat treatment to your bath water will help ease the aches and pains caused by exercise and hard work and thanks to the head clearing aroma you will feel ready to sleep when you get out of the bath.

While great when you want to jump in and out of the shower, the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash is perfect for the bath too. This rich, skin-conditioning botanical cleanser contains soap-free Quillaja Saponaria so while it cleans the skin, it doesn’t stipe away essential natural moisturisers. Sandalwood, Lavender, Orange and Clary Sage essential oils have been added to soften the skin so that when you get out of the water, your limbs are soft, smoothed and conditioned.

Using the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub in the bath can help you get incredible looking skin. This high-end product combines concentrated glycolic acid with exfoliating particles and botanical extracts so that skin is not only silky smooth but also glowing. While results can be seen from the very first use and you will see progressive improvement over time that we think you will love. You can further harness the power of this product by using the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Hand and Body Lotion. Glycolic acid has been mixed with Shea Butter to hydrated the skin so it looks visibly younger. Gently apply the lotion to your skin once or twice a day and you will soon feel and see the changes.

At Pure Beauty, we love Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream which can be used in the bath and the shower. Advanced technology has been used to create this exceptional skin friendly formula that gently cleanses the skin without stripping protective oils. Tahitian Monoi Oil and Frangipani Flowers come together to ensure your skin not only feels soft and supple but is also delicately scented. If you want to add a little extra love after bathing, simply dry off and apply the Frangipani Body Oil which is quickly absorbed and offers dry and mature skin extra care.

After a long day, you might be tempted to hit the sack before applying your moisturiser, but scrimping on that last step of your beauty routine could be a mistake.

While you might have cleaned away the dirt of the day, while you sleep, your skin gets to work repairing any damage and this is why is it so important to apply a night cream after you have toned.

At Pure Beauty, we sell creams for teen skin, sensitive skin, dry skin, ageing skin and pretty much everything in between.

Let’s take a look at just some of the options we stock and see if we can find something that is right for you.

One of our newest products in store is the Dermalogica Sleep Sound Cocoon cream. We totally love this revitalising treatment as it optimises night-time recovery so that you wake with healthier, softer skin. Tamarind Seed Extract promotes hydration, Persian Silk Tree Extract reduces the signs of tiredness and Wu-Zhu-Yu Extract brings a new radiance to your skin. Simply apply before you go to bed and let the goodness of the ingredients sink into your skin as you sleep.

For a cream that takes care of your skin and nourishes it, we suggest the Elemis Hydra-Nourish Night Cream. Rich in anti-oxidants, this night cream helps prevent moisture loss and gives tired skin a lift so it feels supple and replenished by morning. Sweet Almond, Ylang Ylang and Geranium Essential Oils have been blended with Persian Silk Tree Extract and Hyaluronic Acid so skin is soothed and so are your senses.

For something a little different, we would suggest the Decleor Mandarin Smoothing Night Balm. This fine texture balm intensively regenerates the skin thanks to the inclusion of Evening Primrose Oil and Shea Butter while Cupuacu Butter brings hydration back to into play. The antioxidant powers of Mandarin Essential Oil help smooth wrinkles and fine lines so you wake with a youthful glow – isn’t that we all want? After cleansing, apply a little of the balm to your face and neck using light sweeping strokes and fall asleep knowing your skin is getting taken care of all night long.

If you suffer with spots and blemishes, we suggest trying the Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel. Designed to help prevent breakouts, a Vitamin B complex has been combined with Zinc and Yeast Extract to soothes irritation. Rosemary and Spiraea Extracts help prevent bacteria growing while Tea Tree Oil heals sore skin as it is packed with natural-antiseptic qualities.

If your skin really does need a boost, go for the Elemis Superfood Night Cream. Packed with a protective Pre-Biotic and as well as Barley, Quinoa and Sweet Almond Milk, skin is totally nourished as you sleep. the skin whilst you sleep so it feels smoother, softer and revitalised when you wake. We love how the blend of essential oils of Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Vetivert help you relax before falling sleep due to the subtle fragrance that fills your senses.

If you would like help making the right choice for you, get in touch today and we would love to give you some ideas, or send you some samples.

Get a clean home, faster

Let’s face it, there are better things to do with our time than clean our homes, but it is a necessary evil unless you want to live in a mess, or have the cash to pay someone to do it for you.

One of the biggest mistake people make when they are cleaning is to do it room by room (aka ‘zone cleaning’) which is slow and you can do it much faster, and better, if you take a different approach.

Focussing on just one area, may mean doing a great job on your counters which will sparkle and shine, but the cooker will still be dirty and as for the bathroom, well you won’t get time to go there if you are too busy folding the ironing for the next morning.

The reality is, if you put a system in place that is quick and efficient, you will have more time to do the things you really love.

Pick a Day
It can be any day, but pick a day when you can really get on top of your cleaning and this will automatically take some of the pressure off. We know this sounds daft, but doing this will make the rest of your week so much easier and you can get your partner, flatmate or kids doing jobs too! Maybe go for Sunday morning and then you can reward yourself with a roast dinner (wiping up gravy of course), or a Friday afternoon before you go out and then you can really let your hair down knowing it is done.

Start by Dusting
Dust each room, including the tops of all your furniture, the undersides of shelves and the books, as well as picture frames, TV screens and the bits and pieces we all collect that don’t really have a home. The best way to do this is to dust dry, when things are wet is so much harder. If you want to get rid of smudges and finger prints then use a clean microfibre cloth and good quality polish.

Clean Fabrics
Putting on the washing as you clean will make the most of your time and it will feel like everything is clean in your home, for a little while at least. Strip and remake the bed beds, tidy cushions and put throws back onto sofas neatly, vacuum your curtains and clean animal beds out too.

Clean Mirrors and Glass
Wipe down all the mirrors and windows in your home as they pick up a lot of dust and when the sun shines, it will show up and look like you haven’t cleaned for ages. One handy tip is to use one wet and one dry microfiber cloth as this will clean away dust and dirt but won’t leave behind lines and streaks.

Clean your Surfaces
Wipe down all the surfaces and counters in your home in one go. Move from room to room, disinfecting if necessary, and make sure you clean door handles, light switches, TV remotes, mobile devices and phones as these are full of nasty germs. If you have any illness or bugs in the home, make sure you do this at least once a day to stop anything spreading! Also leave cleaning items in bathrooms so you can wash during the week and prevent a massive build up of dirt to tackle on cleaning day. If you can, use environmentally sound protects, wear gloves to protect your hands, and always apply cream when you are done.

Get to Grips with the Bathroom and Kitchen
Walk through your bathroom and kitchen, spraying cleaner on your baths, sinks and toilets as you go – not on the carpets or floors of course. Then return and clean the bathroom and wash shower curtains and towels once the bedding is done. When it comes to the kitchen, wipe down the inside of the microwave, as well as cabinet and appliance doors before getting to work on the sink and table tops. Empty and bleach the bins so they are really clean and make sure everything sparkles, including the draining board.

Next to the Floors
Sweep, then mop or scrub the bathroom and kitchen floors, making sure you really get to those hard to clean areas as this is where nasties can hide and bacteria can hide.

Get the Vacuum Out
Last of all, vacuum the carpers in your bedrooms, down the stairs, through the living room and into the hallway, moving furniture so you get rid of the dust that can make you cough.

Now, put the kettle on and admire your hard work as you enjoy a cup of tea.
