Unless you’re lucky enough to be able to nip off to somewhere exotic for some much needed winter sunshine, there’s a good chance that you’re feeling a bit dull, like the rest of us. Your summer tan (achieved with full sun protection, of course!) is but a distant memory and your summer holiday seems like it’s a lifetime away while you navigate the hurricanes and sleet of a British winter. 

That hour when the sun goes down and the world looks golden is the closest you’ll get to enjoying a glow – but never fear, because Pure Beauty has your back! We’ve dug up a whole selection of products to help you to feel glowy and gorgeous. Here’s just five of them:

Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted Light/Medium SPF20

This product from Evolve Organic Beauty combines skincare and sun protection to create one product which will both protect you from the sun’s harmful rays while giving your skin a glow. It contains mineral light reflecting natural pigments for a luminous dewy finish while the broad spectrum SPF comes from non-nano mineral-based zinc oxide, which is certified as “reef-safe” and therefore won’t hurt the environment. 

St.Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Everyday Body Lotion

If you want to glow but aren;t a fan of the full-on fake tan look, then this body lotion fro, St. Tripes is the ultimate compromise. The lotion moisturises the skin while giving an instant hint of bronze that immediately illuminates the skin. It then has a slight tan which will develop gradually, giving you a gentle glow which makes you look healthier all over. It can be reapplied daily, or however often you prefer, to build the colour or maintain a sunkissed look. 

This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle

If you’re planning on wearing something which shows your legs but don’t want to commit to an all-over fake tan, this product from This Works is the one for you. The powerful, tinted serum is full of vitamins to enhance and repair skin, while also containing a tint which instantly enhances legs and helps combat uneven skin tone and bruising. It’s a non-greasy formula which absorbs to give the legs a deep moisturising effect and has natural caramel included, which will add warmth and immediately transform the skin with a sun-kissed glow.

South Seas – Sea Foam Tanning Mousse

If you’re ready to just grab the self tan and get  that all-over glow then you should definitely consider this tanning mousse from South Seas. It has a rich brown tint for easy application which dries quickly into a satisfying tropical glow, allowing you to wear and go. You don’t need to wait hours before you can get dressed (although you DO need to wait six hours before you shower!) and the colour will develop to a longer-lasting tan. 

Decleor Green Mandarin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream

This face cream from Decleor is a multifunctional product; it contains a blend of essential oils and hyaluronic acid to smooth the appearance of fine lines, as well as beta-carotene which gives your skin an instant glow. The formula is designed to help to prevent the early signs of ageing, as well as giving you a healthy glow which allows you to go make-up free. It’s suitable for all skin types and can be used daily.

Did you know that pumpkins are packed with natural enzymes and acids which increase cell turnover so that skin is bright and smooth? Well they do, and the good news doesn’t stop there. This Halloween staple also contains antioxidant vitamin A and C which help soften and soothe skin and get ageing under control.

With all the said, let’s look at some of the products we sell on the site and see which ones you could use to get great skin before 31 October.

We absolutely adore the Elemis Superfood Facial Wash and for good reason! This gel cleanser is full of the nutrient-dense super greens you’d expect to find in a smoothie, but we don’t suggest drinking it! From the very first time you use this product, you are left with radiant skin and an outdoor-fresh glow that will look as if you’ve been for a brisk walk by the sea. Avocado, broccoli and pumpkin seed oil might usually be found in a hipster salad, but in this case, they have been combined with a natural pre-biotic to balance the skin’s microbiome and with wheatgrass, nettle and kale too, your complexion will look luminous and bright.

You might not be thinking about the sun when the witching hour approaches, but the Dermalogica Pure Light SPF 50 treats hyperpigmentation and keeps you safe from the UV light that can strike at any time of the year. It’s the pumpkin fruit ferment in this cream, that helps exfoliate away dead cells and eliminate dark spots cause by the sun. Red algae, seaweed and safflower seeds have all been added to the mix to create a product at we think you will love. Apply to cleansed and toned skin before you go outside and this will work well all year round and keep those Halloween vampires away.

For a vegan option, why not give the Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Booster a go? This plant-based concentrate formula is ideal if you want to have healthy, glowing skin all year round but won’t have you looking as orange as a pumpkin – do not worry. This is ideal for anyone whose skin is a little tired and needs a helping hand to look brighter and happier again. Pumpkin and cherry extracts, which are both rich in AHAs and enzymes, have been mixed with rice water and green tea seed oil and once you have given the bottle a shake, you are ready to smooth away the dullness and let the light in.

If you are looking for real results from your beauty products, look no further than the Dermalogica Rapid Reveal Peel. This maximum strength exfoliant contains acids and fermented plant enzymes to increase skin renewal and reveal new, firmer skin with reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Pumpkin together with rice bran, resurface and even out skin tone, while Australian caviar lime brightens skin so you are left with a more radiant, but still natural, complexion. With each packet containing 10 applications you have the right amount for perfect results each time you use this peel.

Have a look in your diary and we are pretty sure that from now until January you will have a whole host of festive parties and events to attend. From the office Christmas lunch and drinks with the neighbours, to nights out with the girls and New Year celebrations, this is a busy time of year and it is only natural that you want to look your best.

As well as choosing the perfect dress, finding shoes you can actually walk in and a bag that works for all occasions, you want your skin to look great too. At Pure Beauty, we sell a range of gorgeous products which can help do exactly this.

If you only have time for a quick shower before heading out to a party, may we suggest you use the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash. This rich, conditioning cleanser is soap free which means it leaves your body feeling soft and silky every time you step out of the shower. Essential Oils of Tea Tree, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary purify without stripping natural moisturisers, while Sandalwood, Lavender, Orange and Clary Sage leave your skin conditioned, smooth and smelling great. With travel sizes on sale too, you can pop it in your wash bag, get ready after your last meeting and still look fresh and awake when you arrive at the bar.

If it is smooth skin you want, look no further than the Elemis Devils Mint Body Scrub . Packed with silicon-rich sea plant particles, Devils Apron seaweed and Peppermint essential oil, using this scrub will not only clean your skin, but take away the dead skin cells that cause dullness too. Use in the shower and follow with the Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Body Cream and your limbs will feel satin soft, look silky smooth and you will smell amazing and you dance the night away.

For fresh, shiny hair, look no further than the Dermalogica Daily Cleansing Shampoo. Suitable for everyone, this nourishing, sulfate-free shampoo has a robust, foaming lather that is packed with moisturising oils which infuse softness, and manageability. Follow with the moisture rich Dermalogica Daily Conditioning Rinse for an added bounce, shine and delicate fragrance.

If you want skin that glows, without the damage caused by sunbeds, why not try the Decleor Gradual Glow Hydrating Body Milk? This gorgeous moisturiser not only offers socks into the sink and offers intense nourishment but it builds a beautifully natural golden glow that is perfect for the party season. Extracts of Vanilla from Tahiti have been blended with Magnolia Essential Oil to create a rich, softening lotion which sinks into your limbs and helps them look healthy and sun-kissed. This body milk is best applied to dry skin after exfoliation and showering, using gentle massaging movements evenly over the body and do remember to wash your hands after use.

If you want to firm up your skin before slipping into that little black dress, you might want to consider trying the Decleor Body Firming Oil-In-Cream. This light, firming oil-in-cream helps improve skin firmness and elasticity. It has a fresh, floral scent with hints of Grapefruit Essential Oil, and when used morning and night skin appears smoothed, soft, supple and toned which is just what you want when you are out with friends celebrating Christmas.

If you have any questions, or would like to try out a sample or two, get in touch and we would love to help you find something that works perfectly for you.
