Anyone with even vaguely sensitive skin will know that there are a certain number of things which are almost guaranteed to cause redness and irritation. Unfortunately January is one of those times of the year where you are surrounded by these Things on an almost daily basis. Simply stepping out into the cold can be enough to cause a reaction, while being inside a centrally heated house can also dry your skin out and irritate your complexion. Fortunately, REN Clean Skincare have created their Evercalm range, which is specifically designed to fight the causes and appearance of irritation and sensitivity. Here are some of our favourites from the range:

REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Gel

Every good skincare routine starts with a cleanser and this one is no exception. Gel products are particularly good for sensitive skin because they are refreshing and soothing to a complexion which is dealing with irritation. This cleansing gel contains pre-biotics which support the good bacteria in your skin and clean your face without stripping away any of the moisture. It removes dirt and pollution effectively without any harshness and the active ingredients help to reveal skin which is glowing in a good way.

REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream

Using a day cream if you have sensitive skin is pretty much essential. This Global Protection Day Cream from the Evercalm range has been around for two decades and is one of Ren‘s best selling moisturisers. It contains antioxidant and free radical scavengers, as well as soothing seed oils to protect the skin against dehydration and fights against the signs of ageing. It also contains blackcurrant seed oil which is rich in omega-3 and seabuckthorn oil which is rich in omega-7. both of which nourish, soothe and soften the skin.

REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm

“Night time is the right time” as the old Ray Charles lyrics go and this is especially true for anyone with sensitive skin who wants to use something potent. The Overnight Recovery Balm from the Evercalm range is a rich balm made from olive, almond, borage and linseed oils, which are easily absorbed and will intensely nourish and moisturise your skin. Jojoba and sunflower oils support the skin’s natural lipid balance while beta glucan soothes any signs of irritation from dryness. It can also be used on dry lips and any other rough patches on your body such as on the knees and elbows.

REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask

Masks are a fantastic product for people with sensitive skin as they are left on the skin for a much longer time allowing for maximum results. This Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask will calm, soothe and moisturise your skin and will instantly relieve the key signs of sensitive skin such as redness and tightness. Extended use will strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier, making it more able to cope with stressors in the long run.

REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Redness Relief Serum

Serums are another hero product for those of us with sensitive skin as they are generally the most potent products within a range. The Redness Relief Serum in the REN Clean Skincare range contains white mushroom, triglycerides and other seed oils and extracts which reduce redness in just 30 minutes. After seven days dryness, itching, discomfort, flakiness, tightness or burning sensations will all be dramatically reduced and the serum works even better at cooling your complexion if you store it in the fridge. It’s recommended that you gently press the formula into your skin rather than rubbing as this will help reduce friction and cut down on the risk of irritation and inflammation.

Dryness, blemishes, itches, redness, tingles, tightness and stinging are all signs of sensitive skin and something many people feel they have to live with.

We are here to tell you, the suffering is over.

At Pure Beauty we sell a range of products designed to nourish, sooth and love sensitive skin and today we are putting some of our favourites in the spotlight.

The Elemis BIOTEC Skin Energising Day Cream Sensitive is great for sensitive skin that needs extra support and care. Scientifically proven to help increase cell energy, the BIO-ENERGY complex of zinc and copper increases cell energy so that complexions are bought back to life. Thanks to barley seed and cupuacubutter, sensitive and distressed skin, becomes calm and happy.

If you are looking for immediate hydration for dry, sensitive skin, the Dermalogica UltraCalming™ Calm Water-Gel is a great option. This weightless, refreshing gel sinks into skin on application and creates a weightless barrier. Hyaluronic acid technology works on the various layers of the skin so that moisture is locked in while apple fruit extract and glycerine really softens it. The overall effect is soothed, calm skin that can breathe more easily.

For dry limbs, the Decleor Lavender Fine Relaxing Bath and Shower Gel is fantastic. Thanks to loving lavender essential oil, your skin is left feeling soft and hydrated as well as smelling fabulous. Use a little amount of the gel under the shower or in the shower, massage into your gently and rinse off before patting dry and using the Decleor Satin Softening Dry Oil before dressing.

Lavender, willow, and myrrh have been blended to create the Elemis S.O.S. Emergency Cream. This intense moisturiser restores hydration levels as well as repairing and de-sensitising skin. Perfect as a base for make-up, this magic healing cream can be used morning and night which means relief is delivered 24/7.

We love the Jan Marini Age Intenrention Gentle Cleanser because the mild, non-irritating formula helps ease sensitive skin, and can be use around the eyes. This gentle, non-foaming cleanser is made from a blend of green tea, grape seed and chamomile extract and can be used daily to help you get the skin you have always wanted.

At night our skin rests and repairs, and this can be aided with the application of Decleor Rose D’Orient Soothing Night Balm. This natural, preservative-free, melt into the skin balm, is a blissful aromatic night-care treatment for sensitive skin that needs a little extra love. Applying the balm before you go to bed, will soothe skin and reduce irritation so you wake up with soft skin that is ready for the day ahead. We also like the Decleor Organic Rose D’Orient Soothing Comfort Oil Serum becasue it immediately soothes sensitive skin and leaves it softer and more relaxed than ever.

Whether you battle with buses, go nose to nose with commuters on the tube or spend hours driving, at the end of the day we all tend to feel less than fresh and it is important to wash away the dirt and grime that gathers on our skin.

At Pure Beauty we sell a range of gorgeous products from iconic companies that not only clean your skin but also replaces lost moisture and eases aches and pains.

Today we are looking at some of our favourite cleansing products, which we think might become yours too!

Even if you only have five minutes in the shower, the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash will instantly sooth your skin and freshen your senses. This rich, conditioning cleanser contains Quillaja Saponaria extract which cleans your skin, while essential oils of Tea Tree, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary purify it. Sandalwood, Lavender, Orange and Clary Sage oil have been added so that skin is left feeling smooth and soft. To further boost hydration, we suggest using the Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream which is non-greasy and quickly absorbed, so you can massage it into your limbs, get dressed and go.

If dryness is an issue, you might like the Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath which nourishes skin and eases the tightness that can cause irritation. Made from a milk protein base, rich in Vitamins, Amino acids and minerals, this is most effective when used every other day for nine days and you only need to add 20 mls to a warm bath to see results. Japanese Camellia oil and oat extract have been added so that skin is deeply nourished and left feeling satin soft and cared for.

Whether you have over done it with the digging in the garden, been lifting heavy boxes at work or that last spinning class was just too much, the Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak will get you back on track. Extracts of Birch, Juniper, Clove, Alpine Lavender, Wild Thyme and Blue Chamomile have been blended with Sea Salt to create something really special. By adding three capes of the liquid into warm water and soaking for 15 minutes, your muscles will be warmed and your body will be recharged. As well as being great for those suffering with arthritis and rheumatism, this muscle soak can help ease period pains and boost a sluggish circulation, and anyone can use it other than pregnant women and those breastfeeding.

For a little bit of everyday luxury, you can’t go wrong with the Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream. This lush cream wash has a skin friendly formulation and the gentle, natural lather cleanses your body but doesn’t strip away the protective surface oils your skin needs. An infusion of exotic Tahitian Monoi oil, Tiare flowers soaked in Coprah oil and Frangipani flowers have been blended together and leave skin not only beautifully soft and supple but delicately scented too.

If you would like more details about these, or any other products we stock at Pure Beauty, get in touch today and we would love to help.

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.
