Regardless of generation or age, these days, men are investing more time, energy and money in their appearance than ever before.

At Pure Beauty we are here to help everyone look, and feel, great, and today we are looking at products that give men a boost!

The Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream for Men has been created just for men and helps to hydrate and firm their skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. From the word go, skin is left looking smoother than before and feels refreshed and replenished. Mediterranean Algae, Padina Pavonica, Ginkgo Biloba and soothing Abyssine™ come together to help with suppleness, firmness and elasticity – what’s not to like?

The Decleor Triple Action Shave Perfector is a super serum that prepares the skin for shaving. A cocktail of essential oils have been mixed to meet the exact needs of men’s skin and this can lead the way to a smoother, clearer, fuss-free shave. Applying three drops of the serum to cleansed skin will prepare it for shaving, and when used after your shave, it can soothe razor burns and enhance the effectiveness of your other products.

With a month’s supply of the world’s first fully customisable shave routine, the Dermalogica Shave Essentials Trio shows you how well you can treat your skin when shaving. The set comes with the Dermalogica Daily Clean Scrub (44ml), Dermalogica Soothing Shave Cream (74ml) and Dermalogica PostShave Balm (10ml) and we think you will be hooked after your very first shave.

Whether it’s from golf, driving, football or gardening, the Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak will help to ease overworked, tired muscles. This natural foaming bath soak smells amazing and works wonders on aches and pains. Extracts of Birch, Juniper, Clove, Alpine Lavender, Wild Thyme and Blue Chamomile have been mixed with Sea Salt which together warm muscles and recharge bodies.

Men don’t escape the ravages of time, which is why so many of them love the Elemis Anti-Ageing Time Defence Eye Reviver. This lightweight anti-ageing men specific eye cream has been clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles by up to 37% in less than a month and increase skin hydration by up to 82% in the same time period – wow! Created to help support skin elasticity and to tighten, firm and hydrate, this will be a welcomed addition to any bathroom cabinet.

When it comes to the sun, everyone needs protection. The Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF50 defends against UV light and can be used by anyone, so no excuses boys. Oleosome Microspheres enhance the performance of the SPF and counteract the moisture loss that can be triggered by being out in the sun. The cream sinks into the skin without a greasy after-feel and should be liberally rubbed into your skin at least 15 minutes before going into the sun.

It may seem like a really odd time of year to be telling you about sun protection, but it’s actually important to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays all year round. It’s also possible to get sunburn in the snow, as the powerful reflections can intensify the sun’s effects and leave you looking like a lobster! Here are five of the best “all year” sunscreens that you should be adding to your daily routine.

Decleor Anti-Pollution Hydrating Fluid SPF30

This hydrating fluid from Decleor is a really good all-round, every day moisturiser and it performs a whole bunch of skin-saving tasks. As well as protecting from UVA and UVB rays, it also protects from daily pollution and free radicals which speed up the ageing process. It also adds a wash of moisture to your skin, keeping it healthy and hydrated all day long.

Dermalogica Sheer Tint SPF20 Medium

If you like a wash of colour on your face rather than a full face of make-up, then this tint could be ideal for you. It gives your skin a sheer layer of colour, helping to even the skin tone and contains hyularonic acid and walnut seed oil which moisturise your skin deeply. It’s suitable for all skin types and contains a broad spectrum sun screen which will protect against UVA and UVB rays.

Elemis Liquid Layer SPF30

This sunscreen from Elemis contains naturally occurring Titanium Dioxide which is a physical UV barrier, as well as polymeric spheres to reflect and refract UVA and UVB light. The formula is rich in anti-oxidants to defend against free-radical damage and is an invisible layer which won’t interfere with your regular moisturiser or make-up.

Dermalogica Matte Moisturiser SPF15

Teens with oily skin may find it particularly difficult to use regular sunscreen, which is why Dermalogica created this oil-free, matte moisturiser which contains UVA and UVB protection. It actively absorbs oil and reduced shine and can even be used on acne-prone skin, without causing more spots.

Decleor Daily Defence Fluid Shield SPF30

This sun protection from Decleor is a truly multifunctional product which contains moringa oleifera microproteins to fight pollutants and free radicals, as well as mineral pigments to enhance skin’s natural luminosity. It’s a 100% mineral shield which helps to protect against the sun’s harmful rays and can be used on top of any make up throughout the day, if you need a top up.

Five Skincare MUSTS For Your Thirties

Your thirties can be a real in-between time for skincare; you’re probably not dealing with acne or sports anymore, and your party days are petering out, but you’re also not at that hardcore wrinkle-fighting stage yet, either. In fact, we often find from our customers that skin is neglected MOST when women hit their thirties for a number of reasons. There are, however, several things you should be doing if you want to reach your forties with skin which is still in good shape. Here’s a few of them:

NEVER MISS SUNSCREEN

If you’re in your thirties, there’s a good chance that ‘time spent in the sun’ revolves around watching the kids while they practice their divebombs in the pool, but distraction is no excuse and you should be taking extra time to ensure that your skin is adequately protected from the sun’s harmful rays. We say protect against the signs of ageing now so you won’t need to reverse them later. Elemis Liquid Layer SPF30 is a broad spectrum, water-resistant physical barrier sunscreen protects against sun’s harmful rays.

ADD MORE MOISTURE

A mistake that many women make is thinking that they only need to moisturise their skin if it’s dry in the first place, but this simply isn’t true. All skin needs added moisture, and in fact oily skin is often that way because of an imbalance and lack of moisture making the skin over-produce Decleor 24 Hour Hydrating Light Cream is a light moisturiser which offers 24hr hydration and protection to all skin types.

THINK ABOUT ANTI AGEING

Something we see really often here at Pure Beauty is women who only start to use anti-ageing products once the signs of ageing have already started, but in fact using them preemptively is so much more advantageous as they can stop ageing in it’s tracks. Opting for products containing hyaluronic acid like Dermalogica Antioxidant HydraMist with its intense hydration and flash-firming properties will help you to look younger for longer.

DON’T FORGET YOUR EYES

Many women use an all-over facial moisturiser (probably because they’re short on time) and totally forget about their eyes, but this is a mistake. The skin around the eyes is delicate and prone to collagen loss, which means it’s usually the first place to age. Treat yourself to a tube of Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift which will help to remove all signs of stress and tiredness, keeping the skin around your eyes in top condition.

EXFOLIATE AT NIGHT

Changing hormones and the ageing process can mean that your skin starts to change in your thirties, maybe feeling a little more delicate than before. Exfoliation is an important step in your skincare routine but once you hit your thirties you should try to only do it at night. Skin goes into repair-mode as we sleep, so exfoliating away all the dead skin cells before your skin repairs itself at night will give you the best chance of waking up with a brighter complexion. Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant is a gentle exfoliator, suitable for most skin types.

Flawlessness. For some of us it may seem like the quest for a flawless complexion is never-ending, or worse, totally unachievable and everyone uploading their filtered snaps to social media can make you feel even worse about your own skin. There are, however, a selection of products which work hard with your skin to make it look flawless and finding the right combination for you can be like hitting a beauty goldmine. Here are five of our favourites for helping us achieve flawless skin:

Decleor Expert Dark Spot Corrector

Nothing screams IMPERFECT like dark spots and areas of hyperpigmentation. This preparation from Decleor is designed to hit the dark spots right where it hurts and even comes with a unique applicator to help reduce the appearance of dark spots within 14 days. Papaya extract is the main ingredient which helps to even out the skins tone and helps to fade surface pigmentation, leaving your skin looking foundation-fresh even without make-up.

Dermalogica SkinPerfect Primer SPF30

Primer is essential for achieving a flawless look as it manages to even out both the tone and the texture of your skin. It’s ideal for dry skin as well as skin which is prematurely ageing, and will not only perfect your skin, but will also keep your make-up in place for longer. It also contains an SPF30 to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, stopping sunburn and skin damage in it’s tracks.

Decleor Intense Translucency Fluid

Decleor Intense Translucency Fluid works in three ways; firstly, it brightens and unifies the skin’s complexion, eradicating dark spots and giving you a more even skin tone. Second, it reveals the skin’s own radiance by helping to get rid of dead cells on the surface of the skin. Lastly, it gives the skin a huge boost of moisture, giving 8-hour comfort to the face. The overall effect is a restored glow and a consistent skin tone which looks as though you’re already wearing make-up, even with a bare face.

Dermalogica HydraBlur Primer

If you have drier skin, you’ll probably find that the average primer dries your skin out even more as most of them control oil production in the skin, not something which is an issue if your skin is already dry. This primer from Dermalogica is designed specifically for dry skin, and the lightweight, non-greasy formula powerfully hydrates and transforms skin into an even surface with a dramatic blurring effect.

Decleor BB Cream 24 Hour Hydration SPF15

Decleor has put a lot of work into this product, using a combination of plant-based skin expertise and extensive research and development into colour. The BB cream is a foundation/moisturiser hybrid, doing the jobs of both – flooding your skin with a full day’s worth of moisture while using tinted pigments to create a flawless base. It comes in three shades will refine your skins texture, attack blemishes and even protect you from the sun with it’s added SPF15.

Trying a new skincare brand for the first time can be daunting; you don’t know which products to try and investing in full-size bottles of products you’re unfamiliar with can be a big step to take. Dermalogica is all too familiar with the problems with making this leap, which is why they’ve put together their ‘Meet Dermalogica’ Kit, comprised of 30 days worth of the best products from Dermalogica’s ranges. Read on to see which products are included and what they can do for your skin.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is an exfoliator made from rice enzymes which will efficiently slough away dead skin cells, reducing dullness, but is suitable for all skin types and can be used every day, unlike many exfoliating treatments. It contains green tea, ginkgo and colloidal oatmeal which calm inflammation, and leave the skin clear and refreshed. It stimulates cell renewal which will keep your skin looking brighter every time you use it.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel

Many cleansing gels by other brands tend to be harsh and dry the skin out, causing redness and inflammation. This gel from Dermalogica is designed to remove dirt, pollution and impurities while completely protecting the natural balance of oils within the skin. The cleanser contains no soap, no perfumes and is enriched with lavender and balm mint to cleanse the skin with a soothing aftercare. Suitable for all skin types and gentle enough to be used daily.

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream

Even skin which isn’t prone to dryness needs a dose of moisture, which is where this skin smoothing cream comes in. It deeply hydrates the skin, offering smoothing to areas of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps to reduce free radical activity while the light, emulsive protection helps shield against dehydration and pollution. It’s suitable for most skin types, and offers a defence against free radicals which help to accelerate the ageing process.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm

Adding moisture back into the skin is the first step towards combating the signs of ageing, but sometimes you need something slightly more powerful to deal with your issues. The targeting formula in Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm are designed to combat visible lines around the eyes and mouth area as well as protecting against moisture loss to minimise fine lines associated with dehydration. It contains retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) to bolster the skin’s own reparative powers and a protective shield of organic silicones which helps prevent moisture loss and protects vulnerable skin.
