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.

At Pure Beauty we are massive Aloe Vera fans.

As well as being an excellent anti-inflammatory and fabulous moisturiser, it is also said to contain antioxidants that can help repair damaged skin and prevent free radicals from doing their undesirable work. Used to relieve sunburn, acne, irritated, and dry skin, some people also believe it helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.

We did a little bit of a search of our products and today we are sharing the Aloe love with you.

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream is great if you want to maintain your skin’s moisture balance while improving texture and tone. Deep-moisturising Lecithin nourishes your skin and extracts of Mallow, Cucumber and Arnica soothe and hydrate it so suppleness is restored. Aloe has been added to the mix to moisture your skin and help prevent the appearance of dehydration lines and promote healing – what’s not to like?

The Jan Marini Transformation Face Cream helps to rebuild and repair damaged cells so that your skin looks, and feels, youthful. Anti-Aging Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Antioxidants and Aloe Vera come together in this luxury product and from the very first time you use it, your skin will appear smoother and have a gorgeous silky softness we think you will love.

Aloe can be great to boost tired, dull skin and this is why it has been added to the Dermalogica Skin Renewal Booster. A blend of hydroxy acids and natural humectants have been blended to help with cell renewal and promote healthier-looking skin. Suitable for drier or prematurely-ageing skin, the booster exfoliates away dead skin cells and together Aloe, Chamomile and Cornflower hydrate the skin while Vitamins A and C smooth skin, so it feels happy once again.

Shaving is a part of everyday grooming but it can cause skin irritation, so to prevent this, we suggest using the Elemis Skin Soothe Shave Gel. This easy to use, effective gel has an active base of Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel, that have been scientifically blended with anti-inflammatory extracts of Arnica and Chamomile and cooling Menthol. Together this offers the perfect shaving solution for even the most sensitive skins, and with Marine Extracts and Jojoba Oil added for comfort, this is a bathroom cabinet must have.

We know some people think toners dry the skin out, but this could not be further from the truth with the Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist.This cool, soothing toner offers thirsty, dry skin hydration as well as relieving inflammation and discomfort. Aloe has been added as a skin soothing agent and this works beautifully well with the antiseptic and disinfectant qualities of Lavender to ensure skin is soft and supple and ready for your day or night cream. It is also brilliant to keep skin hydrated on the beach and during long flights when moisture is lost and dehydration sets in.

If your body feels like it needs a little extra love, why not take the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub into the shower with you? Highly concentrated glycolic acid with exfoliating particles have been expertly blended with Aloe, Chamomile and Rosemary Extracts that together leave you with glowing skin that is silky smooth to the touch. That rough skin and those troublesome areas on the back of your arms, knees and legs will be a thing of the past. While you will see immediate benefits from this beautifully scented product, there will be progressive improvement over time that we think you will love.

Combatting Some of the Most Common Body Issues

Thanks to years of airbrushing in magazines and unrealistic beauty expectations, it’s a sad fact that most women will easily pinpoint at least one issue with their body that they don’t like. While we can’t do anything to address the deeper issues of insecurity, we can offer some advice to help with some of the more superficial ones, so we’ve put together a list of some of the most common body beauty complaints and how to deal with them.

Cellulite

It’s estimated that 90% of women have cellulite in at least one area of their body, and yet it’s still talked about in hushed tones, like it’s the last taboo. While we’re all for embracing your body in all of its glory, dry brushing with Elemis Body Detox Skin Brush, followed by a thorough massaging with Elemis Cellutox Active Body Oil can greatly help to break up fatty deposits under the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks can be caused by a number of different things, such as pregnancy, weight gain or muscle-building, and although they generally fade by themselves over time, some people like to have a helping hand and reducing them. Decleor Prolagene Gel is contains an amino acid called Proline L., which is similar to plant collagen and helps re-build the skin’s supporting fibres, helping to heal stretch marks from within.

Dry Skin

Dry skin is often caused by using products containing soap, spending too much time in the sun or central heating and is usually worse on areas like elbows and knees. Exfoliate dry areas using Decleor 1000 Grains Body Exfoliator Travel to get rid of the top layer of dry skin and follow up with Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Cream which is designed to nourish and soften dry skin, for a perfectly moisturised body.

Bumpy Skin

A lot of people we speak to complain of having skin which has a “chicken skin” appearance, with tiny bumps all over it. This actually has a name; it’s called keratosis pilaris and is incredibly common. Regularly using Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow, which is rich in mineral salts and hibiscus to cleanse and exfoliate your skin will reduce the appearance of these little bumps, and following it with Elemis Sweet Orchid Monoi Body Oil will prevent parched skin from creating too much keratin.

Calluses

Hard skin on the feet can be really tricky to deal with as it becomes impacted under the weight of your body, making it even harder to remove. Using a pumice stone after a hot bath or shower can help to reduce the amount of hard skin, and using Elemis Treat Your Feet Foot Cream can stop the hard skin from building up so much in the first place.

Going to a spa is one of our favourite indulgences, but it’s not something we’re able to do do every weekend due to time and money (mores the pity!). There’s no reason, however, that you shouldn’t have that spa experience right from your own home and Elemis have a selection of products which are perfect for giving you that spa-glow without having to step foot outside your house. Read on for our pick the the best ‘home spa’ products from the Elemis ranges:

Elemis Body Detox Skin Brush

We recommend that you begin your spa experience with a gentle brushing with the Elemix Body Detox Skin Brush; its natural cactus bristles help to reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving circulation and softening the skin. It will help you to brush away the top layer of dry, dead skin cells to allow you to treat the new skin beneath with a cocoon of moisture from all the other products you use.

Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak

The next step is to turn your bath into a hot tub and soak your aching muscles in this Super Soak. It contains a blend of botanicals which not only help to unknot tense muscles but also to relax the mind through the power of aroma. The mixture of birch, juniper, clove, alpine lavender, wild thyme and blue chamomile, combined with sea salt will uplift and invigorate the senses whilst warming the body and recharging your muscles.

Elemis Devils Mint Body Scrub

Once you’ve finished your soak, we highly recommend giving your body another level of exfoliation to ensure that any dead skin is totally removed. This devil’s mint body scrub uses peppermint to give your skin a real “ZING!”, and literally polishes your body using only natural ingredients. We’d recommend focusing on common dry areas, such as your knees, elbows and feet to give them a really good going over.

Elemis De-Stress Massage Oil

Once you’ve awoken your mind and body, we recommend giving yourself a chance to relax once again by smothering yourself in this de-stress massage oil in long, sweeping strokes – or if you’re lucky enough to have someone around to help, get them to do it for you. This oil is intended for use in conjunction with deep breathing and calming visualisations, so try to use it in a quiet, darkened room where you can really allow yourself to relax.

Elemis British Botanical Hand and Nail Butter

For a final touch, we would recommend treating your hands and nails to their own personal coating of moisture from this hand and nail butter. Our hands are often one of the most neglected areas of our body, whilst arguably being one of the most hard-working, so ensuring that they’re properly moisturised and massaged will really add that final touch to your spa experience – you could even give yourself a manicure beforehand!
