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.

While many people focus on the products that they consume, like foods and drink, and opt for organic products to ensure the best quality, not everyone has the same idea when it comes to the products we put ON our bodies. Here at Pure Beauty, we stock many products which contain organic ingredients and these are five of our favourites:

Elemis British Botanical Shower Cream

This shower cream from Elemis is a nourishing formula based on organic oats and contains essential oils of lavender, chamomile, geranium and palmarosa, all of which were produced in Great Britain. Omega-rich echium oil works to hydrate and nourish the skin, whilst vitamin and mineral rich organic Oats and Rosemary gently cleanse the skin, for a truly restorative in-shower experience.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm

This firming cream from Dermalogica contains organic silicones – this is important because low-quality silicones can drag on the skin, create a sticky feel and can even bobble on the skin rather than soaking in properly. It’s designed for ageing skin and promises to protect against damage, accelerate repair, strengthen elasticity and improve smoothness.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask

This gel mask from Elemis is designed to resurface the skin, leaving it look tighter, firmer and more even. It harnesses the power of organic fruit acids from acerola cherries which safely and effectively exfoliate the skins surface adding to the resurfacing efficacy of the mask. It bears the Elemis promise, which means it contains no parabens, sodium laureth sulphate, DEA, mineral oils or artificial colours.

Elemis Quiet Mind Temple Balm

This little bottle contains a highly powerful blend of essential oils, including organic menthol, which combine to soothe the senses, aid relaxation, make sleep come more easily and help promote harmony, tranquillity and relaxation. As well as menthol, it contains patchouli, eucalyptus and lemon, all known for their calming properties.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum

This serum from Elemis is a huge ally in the battle against ageing and contains methylsilanol manurronate, an organic derivative of seaweed, which helps to bind moisture in the layers of the skin, leaving skin feeling firm and strengthened whilst smoothing the appearance of wrinkles. The product has an immediate tightening and firming effect – we like to call it our ‘face lift in a bottle’!

One sure-fire way to stop you from looking your best is to neglect your skin. Skin which isn’t properly cared for can look dull and lifeless, making you look older than you really are or just simply under the weather. You might think that giving your skin a new lease of life would require expensive and painful cosmetic procedures, but it’s actually easier, cheaper and far more painless than you might think! Today, we’re looking at five of the best products from Elemis, Dermalogica and Decleor which can help your skin to look revived and refreshed.

Decleor Lift and Brighten Peeling Gel

Utilising fruit acids in products is a great way to lift away the dull, dead surface cells of the skin without using harsh chemicals and that’s exactly what Decleor have done with this peeling gel. After just one application of this gel, your skin will look brighter and more radiant and will continue to improve with long term use because of the way the exfoliator stimulates the elasticity and tone of the dermis, while soothing active ingredients provide the epidermis with comfort and softness.

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel

Another product which relies on fruit-based magic, this papaya enzyme peel from Elemis gently exfoliates and purifies tired, lacklustre skin. It gently exfoliates the skin, making the complexion appear smoother and brighter without being too abrasive or causing irritation to ageing or delicate skin. It contains natural ingredients which work with the body’s own processes to improve the skin on an ongoing basis.

Dermalogica Daily Resurfacer

This daily resurfacer from Dermalogica is designed to be used every day and comes in individually dosed sachets so that you know you’re using the right amount. It contains botanical skin brighteners which improve the surface of the skin, ensuring maximum hydration without causing any irritation. They can be used by all skin types and even help to control melanin production to avoid dark spots forming.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash

Efficient cell renewal is absolutely vital for skin to remain in prime condition, so using a product every day which encourages cell renewal is essential. This daily-use face wash from Elemis encourages the skins natural cell renewal cycle, actively smoothing and refining whilst gently exfoliating away any dead skin cells which can dull the complexion. A newly cleansed complexion is revealed every day and the added essential fatty acids ensure that skin is fully hydrated, too.

Decleor Phytopeel Smooth Exfoliating Cream

The Aroma Cleanse range from Decleor is a customer favourite, and this exfoliating cream is no exception. It helps to gently remove dead skin cells WITHOUT the use of exfoliating particles which can often cause redness and irritation. This makes it ideal for ageing or sensitive skin and can be used once or twice a week on both the face and neck for a more youthful glow.
