A bright, healthy-looking smile can make a great first impression and also improves your self-confidence and overall mood.

While we all do out best to look after our teeth, they can easily become stained as a result of smoking, poor oral hygiene, and consuming certain sugary foods and drinks like tea, coffee, and red wine.

We have had a look at how can look after your teeth and ensure your smile shines the way you know it can.

Brush your teeth twice a day, everyday
Brushing your teeth for two minutes, twice a day with a good quality fluoride toothpaste will help to remove the problem plaque that can cause bad breath, tooth decay, gum disease, and discolouration. Brush your teeth in a circular motion, paying attention to each tooth on all sides. Once you have finished, spit out any toothpaste residue, but don’t rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash as this will wash away the goodness of the fluoride in your toothpaste.

Don’t overbrush
Yes, brushing is an essential part of taking care of your teeth, but you need to make sure you do not overbrush as this can harm your enamel and expose the lower layers of your teeth, known as dentin. It is dentin that has a yellow tone, and it is impossible to whiten even with special toothpaste or professional teeth whitening treatments and kits. Brushing too hard can also cause your gums to recede which can make your teeth look longer, lead to increased sensitivity and, in extreme cases, tooth loss. These are things you all want to avoid, so if you have any questions about brushing, ask your dentist and they will be happy to help.

Floss, floss, floss
Remember to floss between your teeth at least once or twice a day as this can help prevent gums becoming inflamed, uncomfortable or bleeding when you brush. Use a clean section of floss or dental tape per tooth, slide it in between the teeth, and gently move it up and down to remove trapped food particles.

Use mouthwash in the morning
Mouthwash helps to kill bacteria, even in hard-to-reach areas. Use a mouthwash at least once a day, but not immediately after brushing, as this will wash away the residual fluoride from your toothpaste that helps keep teeth healthy.

Avoid sugary foods and drinks
It is a good idea to try to limit your sugar intake as much as possible for the sake of your teeth, as well as your overall health and wellbeing. If you do have it, eat it at meal times and sip plenty of water to help wash away some of the sticky residue sugar leaves behind.

Don’t smoke
Smoking can lead to bad breath, gum disease, mouth cancer, and tooth discolouration, so give it up, today and you will be so pleased you did.

Go to the dentist
It is vital that you have regular, six monthly check-ups at the dentist. Your dentist can identify problems in their early stages and advise on appropriate treatment so that your teeth and gums remain in excellent condition. Also see the hygienist as their specialist cleaning and care helps to keep your teeth, gums and mouth healthy, and your smile bright and shiny.

Read any magazine, scroll through any social media feed or watch any TV show, and it’s all about having dewy skin.

The reason this look is so popular is because, not only does it look feminine and natural, but this kind of plump, hydrated skin is a sign of youth, something so many of us desire, whatever our age.

At Pure-Beauty we sell a range of products that take care of your skin and give you that youthful, dewy look you thought was long gone.

Let’s kick things off with the Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil. Just a little goes a long way to restoring the protective lipids which are key for preserving a dewy, youthful appearance. Ageing and environmental stresses are a part of life, but both of these factors can deplete lipids, leaving skin vulnerable to the dryness and dehydration that ages us and makes us look tired. Camellia Oil, Orchid Flower Extract, Sunflower Seed Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, and Chia Seed Oil have been specially blended, and pressing just a few drops of this potion into cleansed skin can lock in moisture and glean great results.

Our eyes often give away the toils of our lives, so why not try out the Elemis Pro-Definition Eye and Lip Contour Cream and bring dewy back? This nourishing eye and lip cream, firms and plumps the skin so that fine lines disappear and complexions look more youthful and renewed. Gently smoothing a little of the cream around the eye and lip contours, morning and night, will help bring sagging skin, that has lost definition, back to life once again.

As well as cleansing, toning, and moisturising, if you really want dewy skin, you need to exfoliate too. We love the Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator because not only does it smell amazing, it buffs away dirt and dead skin cells so that your complexion is left looking glowing, and yes, dewy too. Ideal for sensitive and mature skin types, using this product, which is packed with restoring Absolute of Moroccan Rose, Jojoba beads and refreshing cucumber, could be the best thing you do for your skin.

The Jan Marini Luminate Face Mask is a great way to not only reduce the appearance of discolouration, but regular use will give you brighter, more youthful, dewy looking skin. Relatively new to the Pure Beauty family, this targeted mask works not only as a stand-alone product, but complements any skincare routine and helps you feel more confident about your skin and how it looks. Exfoliators gently remove dull, dry skin cells, while calming agents reduce irritation and redness, and the results are clear to see from the very first use.

If you are young at heart and want a complexion to match that sentiment, look no further than the Decleor Magnolia Youthful Oil Serum. Part of the popular Orexcellence range, this gorgeous oil serum is made with essential oils of Magnolia and Ginger as well as botanical oils of Hazelnut and Jojoba, and together they offer a concentrate of energy for the skin. Regular application, after toning and before moisturising, helps skin look plumper and firmer and gives a fresh, dewy, luminous glow.

For more information, why not get in touch and we will help you to find the products which will ensure your skin looks fresh and dewy all year round, and we will even send you samples so you can try before you buy.

Cleanse, tone and moisturise is our mantra when it comes to beauty routines, but we think there is a place for a serum in there too.

Yes, it is another product for your bathroom, and they aren’t always cheap, but adding a serum into the mix could be worth it.

Just to get things straight, a serum is a skin care product you apply to your skin after cleansing but before moisturising to help tackle specific concerns such as fine lines, brightness, acne or hydration.

At Pure Beauty, we sell a range of serums across the skin type ranges and are sure we have something that will work for you.

Let’s start with one of our summer favourites, the Dermalogica C-12 Pure Bright Serum. This is a potent skin brightening serum that really helps with pesky hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. Used morning and evening, the blend of Oligopeptides, Rice derived Phytic Acid, Zinc Glycinate and Algae work on the pigmentation imbalance that can become more problematic when the sun shines and UV rays hit the skin. The silky cream is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving the perfect base for your moisturiser and as well as brightening the skin, it will also help minimise discoloration and improve clarity

Next we want to talk about the Elemis Hydra-Boost Serum. This clinically proven hydrating serum provides all day moisturisation for thirsty skin. Quinic and Hyaluronic Acid plus Dhatelo Oil have been blended with Myrtle, which is super-rich in anti-oxidant phenolic compounds, and together they help maintain natural defence systems. Simply apply to cleansed skin before you moisturise and watch your skin come to life once again.

If you really need to rebuild and revitalise your skin, we would suggest trying out the outstanding Jan Marini Age Intervention Peptide Extreme. We love this concentrated blend of antioxidants, hydrators, peptides and soothing agents which not only deal with dreaded wrinkles, but also get to work on uneven texture and redness. Used morning and night, this luxe product will really make a difference to the look and feel of your skin making it appear firmer and more radiant thanks to the increased production of collagen and elastin.

If dryness is your bug bear, look no further than the Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil. This remarkable next-generation, daily-use treatment oil works on three levels:

Phytoactives from Camellia and Tamanu oils help restore the skin’s natural barrier.
Orchid Flower and Chia Seed Oil smooth dehydration lines and lock in moisture.
Sunflower, Rice Bran and Rosemary extracts create a shield against free radical damage.

The results are a dewy, glowing complexion free of the tightness and irritation dehydration can cause.

For a real face lifting effect, without going anywhere near a surgeon, the Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum is perfect. Created from concentrated Padina Pavonica, Rhodochrosite, Quartz and Argan Oil, this special serum forms a network of proteins which deliver an immediate tightening effect to the skin. Organic Seaweed binds moisture in the epidermis so your skin feels firm and strengthened and because fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed, your look more youthful. For best results, use morning and night together with the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream.
