We use our eyes from the moment we wake up, to the second we fall asleep, so it is no wonder that the skin around them can become tired, dull and dehydrated. The skin around the eyes is also some of the thinnest on your body, which means it is little wonder it is the first place stress and ageing are seen.

At Pure Beauty we sell some fantastic products that have been specifically designed to ensure eyes look, and feel, great.

Today we are sharing some of our favourites with you, and hope there will be something that takes your fancy.

We love the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm which is perfect when it comes to easing those visible lines around the eyes. Seaweed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E, as well as healing Organic Silicones, accelerate repair, strengthen elasticity and improve smoothness around the eyes, for a more youthful, healthy look. For the very best results, pat a little Dermalogica MAP-15 Regenerator around the eye area first, then use the Power Firm product and watch the years drift away.

The Decleor Hydra Floral Everfresh Hydrating Wide-Open Eye Gel, is a lightweight, anti-ageing formula which can be used twice daily around the eyes and eyebrows. Packed with Cornflower Floral Water and antioxidant Baikal Skullcap Root Extract, dark circles are minimised, puffiness is eased, and fine lines are smoothed. This gentle formula creates a protective barrier and helps to create a brighter, healthier complexion.

For something special, we think the Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Eye Balm hits the spot. This illuminating, moisturising eye balm, brightens and refreshes tired eyes and really brings them to life. Chamomile and Arnica have been blended with Bird of Paradise Flower and together, with optical blurring powders, dark circles are minimised and health is radiated. Apricot Kernel Oil nourishes the super-delicate eye contour area, and when used on a regular basis you will really start to see a marked difference in your skin.

Jan Marini is a relatively new brand to the site, and we are already in love with their Transformation Eye Cream. If you really need some help to visibly improve the texture and restore the hydration around your eyes, this product is for you. TGF β-1, Epidermal Growth Factor, Thymosin β-4, Anti-Aging Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid have been mixed together to create a product which helps heal and repair sad skin which needs a little love.

Back to Dermalogica, and we have to mention the five-star Dermalogica UltraSmoothing Eye Serum. We adore this product because it gently treats signs of ageing around the eyes without triggering the sensitivity or irritation issues which can happen when using highly active eye treatments. Natural Algae and Golden Chamomile deal with puffiness, Oat Kernel Extract helps soothe fragile skin, and Hyaluronic Acid makes sure the eye area is hydrated so those fine lines are kept at bay.

For information, or samples, get in touch and we would love to help you find products that are right for your eyes.

Once a quiet land of fishing villages and whitewashed houses, today the Costa del Sol is known as ‘Sunshine Coast’ and buzzing with tourist activity. The region may have earned itself a somewhat down-market reputation due to cheap flights and package holidays, but don’t let you put this off visiting because it really is a fabulous holiday destination.

June to September tends to be the most popular times to visit due to the hot temperatures and summer holidays. Late April and May, when temperatures average between 23°C and 27°C, is more comfortable temperature and less busy because children are still in school.

Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Torremolinos are some of the most popular tourist spots and each one offers a variety of attractions and facilities. Marbella, and the glitzy waterfront resort of Puerto Banus, are full of glamour and a short drive away are the pretty, white washed villages of Estepona, Istan, Ojen and Rhonda. Set back from the coast and hidden in the mountainside, Mijas is a beautiful old town, where you will find some of the most breath taking panoramic views of Mediterranean.

It goes without saying that one of the biggest attractions of the area are the beaches. The sea temperature in the summer months is rarely less than 23ºC, so jump in and cool down but watch out for the jellyfish. As well as swimming, snorkeling and diving you can also try paragliding, sailing, fishing and for the ultimate treat go dolphin watching at dusk.

The climate and landscape are perfect for walks in the mountains, waterskiing on the lakes, cycling, birdwatching and with over 100 courses, the Costa del Sol is a golfers paradise.

There is a wide range of accommodation across the Costa del Sol. Whether you are looking for self-catering options, city apartments in Malaga or luxury villas complete with pools, there is something for everyone and every budget.

Hotels in the area are big business and options like the Marbella Club offer an amazing five star experience. If you want a hotel but don’t want to spend top dollar, an online search will give you some excellent cost effective options that offer great service, cleans beaches, kids clubs, local cuisine and entertainment.

Speaking of food, the Spanish are passionate about food, so be prepared for some impressive menus. Chiringuitos (beach bars) are a way of life and the food is always fresh and delicious. Whether you go for tapas, fresh fish, pasta or steaks, you really cannot go wrong. Oh, and the wine tend to be exceptional too.

If you are looking for a taste of traditional Spain head to ‘Plaza de los Naranjos’ (Orange Square) in Old Town Marbella. As well as exploring the shop lined cobbled streets and enjoying dinner alfresco under the blossom, you can also enjoy music from local musicians and flamenco dancing.

The flight from London to Malaga is just under three hours and the Costa del Sol is less than an hour from the airport. Travelling around can be done by bike, bus, car, scooter, train and taxi. Hiring a car can be handy if you want to explore the region but use a reputable company, take your license and be aware of the speed limits.

Local time is GMT + 1, Euros are the local currency and remember that you will need a European-style two-pin to plug in your gadgets.

This eclectic mix of old and new, makes the Costa del Sol the ultimate sun, sea, sand and sangria holiday destination.

Happy holidays.
