Get Marathon Ready with our Skincare Guide for Runners

The London Marathon is just over a week away and runners all over the UK are preparing to take part in one of the most gruelling events of their running career. More than 40,000 people run together in London in a celebration of positivity, diversity and inclusion, raising over £1 billion for various good causes, since it began in 1981. With this in mind, we thought we’d do our bit and share with you some skincare tips which will make running the marathon a bit easier – or even just improve your couch-to-5k, if the marathon is a bit beyond your abilities!

Wear Sunscreen

Ahead of running a marathon, or any race where you’ll spend a lot of time outside, applying sunscreen is SO important. The last thing you want is to be coming up on mile 25 and realising you’re red from sunburn, not exertion. Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF50 is a sheer solar protection treatment that defends against prolonged skin damage from UV light and environmental assault, and offers 40 minutes of water resistance, meaning you won’t sweat it all off during your first mile. 

Cleanse Properly 

After running the marathon, your skin is going to need some serious cleansing. As well as being subjected to potentially hours of sweat, you’re also going to want to remove all of that grime and pollution which is inevitable in a city. Dermalogica Precleanse is the professional’s deep cleansing weapon, allowing you to achieve ultra clean and healthy skin with a double cleansing regimen which should also include Dermalogica Daily Glycolic Cleanser, to help remove build-up caused by environmental factors. 

Replenish Lost Moisture

When we run long distances, our body loses a lot of moisture, some of which you’ll replace by drinking. However, your skin often still needs an extra boost of hydration to get it back to its best. We suggest first treating your skin to a Maskology Hyaluronic Acid Professional Sheet Mask, followed by Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Triple Rose Renewing Moisturiser. The combination of these treatments will replenish lost moisture and protect your skin from further loss of hydration, going forward. 

Don’t Forget Your Lips

There’s a reason that Aussie cricketers look like they’ve got white lipstick on – it’s because they know that spending hours running around in the sunshine can damage the delicate skin on our lips! Elemis Ultra-Conditioning Lip Balm is an instantly hydrating lip treatment, which offers effective delivery and release of the hyaluronic acid molecules to ensure even the driest lips feel replenished, restored and hydrated. 

Soothe Sore Limbs

One of the main issues that people deal with, from their post-marathon body, is tired, heavy legs which can leave you feeling like you’re dragging logs around for days afterwards. Bloom and Blossom Legs Eleven Cooling Leg Serum is a lightweight formula with stimulating peppermint leaf oil to revitalise tired, aching legs. It contains aloe vera leaf juice, which is full of vitamins and antioxidants to give your legs a boost, while algin from seaweed, which is rich in polysaccharides, helps the skin to absorb moisture easily, allowing the serum to effortlessly soak into your skin.

Our Favourite Stocking Fillers for Under £10

It’s the middle of November; Halloween and Bonfire night are well behind us, which means that we are now officially allowed to talk about Christmas! With rising energy prices, many people are looking at ways to save, or just simply starting their Christmas shopping earlier so they can spread the cost a little. With this in mind, we thought we’d share with you some of our favourite products for under £10 which would make fantastic stocking fillers for the ones you love:

Voesh 3 Step Basic Mani in a Box Vitamin Recharge 

If you have someone in your life who has super hard-working hands then this mani in a box is the perfect little treat for them. It contains three separate products which gives you enough for a perfectly pampering manicure and it’s enriched with key ingredients to give your hands the nutrition they need. If you really like the person, you could even offer to give them a manicure yourself, using this kit! 

UpCircle The Pamper Kit 

This adorable (and sustainable) little pamper kit from UpCirlce contains SEVEN of their best-selling products, giving your gift recipient the chance to try the very best that they have to offer. All of the products are vegan friendly, cruelty free and made using naturally derived and recycled ingredients, and the kit contains a cleansing face balm, a clarifying face mask, a face toner, an eye cream, a face moisturiser, an organic face serum and a body cream.

Maskology Foot Peel Professional Foot Treatment

If your friend or loved one has a job which sees them standing on their feet for large portions of the day, there’s a good chance that their feet could do with some love. Maskology Foot Peel Professional Foot Treatment uses a formula of over 16 powerful botanical and fruit extracts to gradually remove rough and dead skin from the feet in just 7 days. Salicylic and Glycolic Acid dissolve and exfoliate dead skin cells, while other ingredients encourage the regeneration of new cells helping to replenish and renew the skin beneath.

Elemis Luxury Cleansing Cloth Duo

Moving towards a more sustainable skincare routine should be high up on most of our Christmas lists and these cleansing cloths will do exactly that. Elemis Luxury Cleansing Cloth Duo are super-soft pure cotton facial cloths that are ideal for removing cleansers, exfoliators and masks. They can be washed and reused for many years and the loose-fibred cotton is also perfect to enable use as an intensively nourishing treatment, allowing the sensorial aromas to be deeply inhaled through abdominal breathing. 

This Works Stress Check CBD Lip Mask

Many of us suffer from chapped lips in the Winter, so treating your loved one to a nourishing lip-treatment in their stocking is likely to be much appreciated. This lip mask from This Works is a natural lip comforter with 1% CBD, sweet almond oil and mood-boosting chocolate, peppermint and cardamom oils to self-comfort and help protect from the drying effects of stress and mask wearing.

Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Hand and Nail Cream

The office is buzzing, the staff room is full of glitter and gossip, Last Christmas is on play 24/7, and people all over the country are wondering what to buy for that all important Secret Santa present.

At Pure Beauty we are sure that we will have something that Sam from accounts, Rosie from PR and Penny the company PA, will just love.

The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a favourite with our customers, and the handy travel size version makes the perfect Secret Santa present for pretty much anyone. Suitable for all skin types, this lovely soap-free, foaming gel removes make-up and leaves skin clean, without disturbing the natural moisture balance, which is especially important in the cold winter months. Balm Mint cools and calms skin, while Lavender Extract purifies it which means complexions are left feeling comforted and loved.

If you want to give your Secret Santa something special, how about the Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Hand and Nail Cream? This is luxury hand cream not only nourishes skin but leaves it delicately scented too. Shea Butter has been blended with Macadamia Seed Oil as well as Frangipani Flowers, and we think it is a stunning combination. Perfect for any desk drawer, handbag or wash bag, this is a gift that will keep on giving long after the decorations have come down .

Although most people know the mantra of cleanse, tone and moisturise, many miss out the middle man, the toner. Why not give someone the gift of toning this Christmas and wrap up the Dermalogica Antioxidant HydraMist as your Secret Santa gift? White Tea, Liquorice and Vitamin E fight damaging free radicals, Vitamin C and collagen-stimulating peptides, encourage firmness and elasticity so that fine lines are smoothed, and with the help of Rose and Clove Extracts, skin feels soft and refreshed.

If Dave in IT is your Secret Santa, you can’t go wrong with the Dermalogica Shave Essentials Trio gift pack. This is a complete set of products that offer a smooth shave and healthy skin for under a tenner – what’s not to like? The Dermalogica Daily Clean Scrub (44ml), Dermalogica Soothing Shave Cream (74ml) and the super cooling Dermalogica PostShave Balm (10ml) equals a month’s supply of products that we think the Dave will love.

Last, but by no means least, we want to mention the Decleor Luxuriant Nourishing Lip Balm. This would make a gorgeous Secret Santa for anyone and will leave their lips feeling loved all Christmas long. With a luxe feel, this balm has been enriched with Marjoram Essential Oil, Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil and simply sinks into lips leaving them feeling soft, smooth and totally smoochable under the mistletoe.

If you’d like any more details about these Secret Santa ideas, or any of the products we sell, get in touch and we would love to help you make the right choice.
