At the moment, when you spend over £70 on Dermalogica Products in one shopping session, we will send you a free, exclusive Dermalogica Ath-Leisure gift bag.

We know you have your go to beauty products already, so we thought we would look inside the gift bag and tell you what could be coming your way for free if you take advantage of this fantastic offer.

For starters you will get a 50ml Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner that is perfect for your gym bag or in your desk at work. Made from a blend of skin-repairing Aloe as well as soothing Lavender, Balm Mint and Arnica this toner is free from artificial fragrances and colours which means it can be used on all skin types. Simply spray onto your face and neck after cleansing and your skill will feel hydrated and soft and will be ready to really absorb your moisturiser.

This free gift will give you the chance to try out the stunning Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift. This high-performance eye treatment doubles as a masque and however you use it, it energises the skin and helps to reduce the visible signs of stress. Wild Indigo Seed Extract brightens the skin by increasing under-eye luminosity, improving skin tone and it also helps deal with dark circles – we like that! Sea Water and Artic Algae deal with those pesky bags and wrinkles while Hyaluronic Acid deals with hydration so you have happy eyes once again! Simply apply generously around the eye area using the fab, cooling massage applicator, leave on for around five minutes and either massage in any excess product after that time or gently remove with a clean tissue.

At Pure Beauty we love the Dermalogica Skin Perfect Primer SPF30 and are so pleased it is a part of this free gift because it means you get to see how good it is too. Perfect for drier or prematurely-ageing skin, this is a real ‘go to’ primer if you want a flawless, dewy looking finish. Helping to smooth away fine lines, this product brightens your skin and prepares it for your make-up, if you are going to wear it . Velvety silicones have been mixed with Soy Protein which together help to even out skin texture so your face looks and feels smooth. Pearl Powder and earth minerals offer a neutral tint that further helps skin tone as well as enhancing luminosity and radiance. In addition, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide give you Broad-Spectrum UVA and UVB protection but this doesn’t leave your skin dry, sticky or chalky, which has to be an added bonus? You can wear this over your toner and moisturiser for a natural day time look or use it under make-up for a really professional finish, but either way we think you will be so impressed by the results you will be using it on a regular basis.

So, what are you waiting for? Go fill up your basket and wait for your free goodies to hit your doorstep!

Whether you’re a young person who’s just started to take care of their skin, or an older person who’s steadfastly refused to deal with skincare before, being an absolute beginner can be a little intimidating, especially when you consider the vast amount of products available. We decided to put together some tips that we thing every skincare virgin should know, so that it doesn’t feel so daunting.

Take your make up off every day, no matter how tired you are

When you leave your make up on, not only are you leaving potentially comedogenic (that’s blackhead-forming, to you and me) products on your face, you’re also leaving the days dirt and grime. This can cause your skin to become dry, red, sensitised and generally unbalanced. Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser is a great cleanser for most skin types as it melts make-up and removes the daily pollutants that can dull the skin.

SUNSCREEN!

Baz Luhrmann said it years ago, and it’s still as true as ever – “ALWAYS wear sunscreen”! The fastest way to age your skin is with prolonged, unprotected sun exposure, and this can be highly damaging even beyond the signs of ageing. Decleor Anti-Pollution Hydrating Fluid SPF30 is the perfect daily SPF for normal to dry skin and leaves skin feeling hydrated and comfortable.

Barely anyone has ‘perfect’ skin

We know that the slew of airbrushed images that we’re bombarded with makes it easy to believe that loads of people have perfect skin, but it’s actually very rare and we guarantee that almost every single person you asked would say they have at least one bugbear with their own complexion. Using a primer is a good place to start to get a flawless base before you apply your make up, allowing you to fake it all the way!

Know your skin type

When it comes to skincare, using the right type for your skin type is hugely important. If you have dry skin and are using products for normal skin, they won’t be powerful enough to keep you hydrated. If you’ve got normal skin, products for oily skin could dry you out and if you’ve got sensitive skin, anything perfumed or too rich will have you red and itchy. Use our guide to work out your skin type before you buy anything.

Drink plenty of water

You can use all of the moisturisers and skin-fixing products you like, but if your body is severely dehydrated then the source of your dryness isn’t going to be fixed. The old ‘eight glasses a day’ thing isn’t necessarily the right amount for everyone, but if your urine is almost clear and the skin doesn’t feel papery, you’re probably hydrated to a decent level.

Dealing with Acne Scarring

Finally getting your acne under control to the point where you don’t have breakouts any more can be life-changing, but the sad fact is that for many people, even after the spots have gone, you can be left with scarring and lesions. There are things you can do to improve the appearance of acne scarring and we’ve got a whole bunch of products which can help.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask

Acne scarring can often change the texture of your skin, leaving you with skin which lacks smoothness. This gel mask from Elemis uses Subtilisine, a skin compatible, bioactive micro-encapsulated enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of proteins into polypeptides to dissolve dead skin cells. It also contains protease, a proteolitic enzyme with keratolitic agents to improve cell renewal. It actively resurfaces your skin and leaves scarred areas noticeably smoother.

Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Cream

This cream contains a powerful combination of three separate acids (glycolic acid, salicylic acid and azelaic acid) which dramatically improve the appearance of acne scarring, as well as pigmentation, rosacea and fine lines and wrinkles. Because it’s such a strong formula, drying may occur, so we recommend using it alongside a rich moisturiser to maintain balance.

Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask

Although scarring is what’s left after the acne has gone, often skin which is damaged by acne can still suffer with inflammation and redness, and is often easily irritated. This gentle mask from Elemis contains lavender, which soothes the skin and reduces irritation, calms redness and rebalances the complexion, giving your skin a more even tone.

Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Lotion

This product from the Jan Marini Bioglycolic range is a lotion version of the Bioclear cream, which is light and less oily, making it ideal for normal to oily skin. It contains the same combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and azelaic acid which will totally resurfance the skin without unbalancing oily skin and leaving you with excess sebum.

Elemis S.O.S. Emergency Cream

This cream from Elemis works in a number of ways; as well as providing the skin with an intense dose of moisture, rebalances inflamed or hormonal skin conditions and provides soothing relief with protection. It’s also a great base for make-up, as it acts like a primer, giving skin an velvety finish.

For many women, once they reach a certain age they notice that their skin has changed in many ways. Elasticity is often reduces, skin feels softer and more papery and many products can feel far too heavy to use on your face, despite the fact that dryness is often an issue for ageing skin, too. We’ve put together a list of five do’s and don’ts to help you deal with unfamiliar skin issues and so that you can avoid some of the most common mistakes that people make with ageing skin.

DON’T Drag Your Skin Down

When you’re applying an anti-ageing cream such as Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, it can be tempting to just rub it all over your face, willy-nilly, without thinking about what the actual motion of your hand is doing to your skin. We ALWAYS recommend that women should apply creams to their faces using a sweeping upwards circular motion so that delicate skin isn’t dragged downwards. This will also help to encourage circulation, which will additionally plump the skin.

DO Opt for a Wash of Colour

Many women find that foundation is simply too heavy on their skin and no matter which primers you use, make-up will accumulate between fine lines, giving a very uneven appearance. Opt instead for a wash of colour with a BB cream which will not only give you a layer of moisture, but will help to even your skin tone and give you a base which compliments your skin’s texture.

DON’T Forget Your Neck

Skincare doesn’t finish at your chin, and having a face which is as smooth as a baby’s bottom sitting atop a neck like a turkey will do you NO favours! Remember to apply your face cream all the way down to your chest, or even invest in a product which is specifically designed for necks and décolletage areas such as Elemis Pro-Collagen Neck and Decollete Balm.

DO Invest in an Eye Cream

Eyes are probably the first place to show signs of age and while you may have got away with using an all-over face cream in your thirties or forties, once you hit your fifties you’re probably going to need to invest in something specifically for this area. Decleor Lift and Firm Eye Cream is a great place to start as it contains ingredients which will reduce puffiness, tighten the skin and even reduce dark circles around your eyes.

DON’T Neglect Your Hands

Hands are another place where ageing catches up with us, and also a place where many people forget to care for. Hands will lose moisture quicker than almost anywhere else on your body, making ageing skin look even more obvious. You may also notice areas of hyperpigmentation (known in the old days as ‘liver spots’) which will give your age away quickly! Use Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand and Nail Cream which is designed to reduce the appearance of ageing on the hands and give you more radiant skin.
