Vitamin E is both a nutrient and an antioxidant, and the oil in its purest form is extremely versatile and nourishing and a great way to feed your skin. You can find Vitamin E in many creams, lotions, hand creams and cleaners as well as sunscreens, moisturisers and skin brighteners.

We have had a look at some of the products we stock that could help you get the skin your deserve because they come with a healthy serving of Vitamin E.

Cleansing your skin is really important, and we would suggest trying the Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser if you have combination or congested skin. This lush product removes pollutant build up, dirt and make-up and thanks to extracts of Lime Blossom, Lecithin and that all important Vitamin E, it also helps to balance excess surface oils and soothe your skin.

We love the Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream 2.0 and the new formulation means it is better than ever for your complexion. Incorporating Active HydraMesh Technology™ this cream can hydrate your skin for up to 48 hours as well as protecting it from the elements. Vitamin E is just one of the antioxidants that helps reduce free radical activity, and because this cream locks in moisture and protects your skin’s beneficial bacteria, you are left with healthy, soft, smooth skin that you will love.

Vitamin E is also found in the Jan Marini Age Intervention Retinol Plus Mask which is great when it comes to dealing with the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. Packed with Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Essential Fatty Acids, Shea Butter and Vitamin E, when applied to the face for just ten minutes, twice a week, you are left with fresh, polish skin that is glowing and healthy.

If dry, ageing skin is a problem for you, we would suggest trying the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm because the blend of ingredients in this firming complex, help to protect, repair and strengthen your skin. Vitamin E, along with Vitamins A and C have been mixed with Red Seaweed and Green Tea to protect vulnerable skin and prevent the moisture loss that can be so ageing around your eyes and mouth.

Dry hands are a problem for many of us and it isn’t surprising given what we subject them to on a daily basis. For hands that are soft and smooth, as well as sweet-smelling, the Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand and Nail Cream is just the ticket. This luxurious cream contains Milk Protein, Avellana Seed Oil, Omega 7, Vitamin E, Camellia, Virgin Plum and Macadamia Oils which together form a silky barrier that locks in moisture. Thanks to Litsea, Jasmine, Magnolia and Vanilla, this cream smells amazing and we think you will be hooked from the very first application.

We are big fans of the Jan Marini Luminate Eye Gel and for good reason. This little pot of goodness not only brightens skin but also helps to reduce the appearance of under eye circles, fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin E is just one of the ingredients in this gel which will get to work hydrating the eye area, making it look smoother, healthier and brighter.

Smooth, dewy skin is something we take for granted in our youth, but as we get older, it is something we miss and hanker after on a daily basis.

At Pure Beauty we can’t work miracles or turn the clocks back, but we do stock some fantastic products that help your skin to look, and feel soft and smooth.

Many customers ask us how they can keep their delicate eye area looking smooth and bright, and the Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment is great for this job. This advanced eye product targets fine lines and wrinkles and helps to smooth and firm skin so you are left with a more youthful appearance. This happens thanks to the Padina Pavonica and Blue Flower Linseed, which come together to tone and firm, whilst an Amino Acid complex locks moisture deep into the skin, but doesn’t overload it and leave it looking puffy.

The Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream has a new formulation which features Active HydraMesh Technology, which makes it even better than before. This cream delivers moisture to normal and dry skin types which helps keep hydration levels topped up, and complexions looking smooth and fabulous. The rich emollient protects against dehydration and pollution, while herbal extracts restore suppleness and tone. Give it a go, we think you will love the results you see in the mirror.

We love the Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask because from the very first use, it makes your skin feel smoother and softer. This revolutionary gel mask helps refine skin’s surface, taking away shine and revealing smoothness and radiance. For the best results, use twice a week, leaving the gel on your face for around ten minutes. As the ingredients get to work they will re-texturise the skin and balance sebum levels, but natural pH levels won’t be compromised.

The name kind of gives the game away, but the Decleor Energising Smoothing Cream smooths the skin and helps to ease fine lines. This popular, light illuminating cream, protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays, while Ginseng Extracts tone and brighten the skin, bringing it back to life and erasing signs of ageing. Added Galanga Extract enhances your skin’s Hyaluronic Acid production so that it is super smooth and youthful once again.

The Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand and Nail Cream gives you smooth, young-looking hands but without the use of chemicals or artificial fragrances. A blend of Milk Protein, Avellana Seed, Camellia, Virgin Plum and Macadamia oils lock in moisture but don’t leave an oily residue behind. Thanks to White flowers, Litsea, Jasmine, Magnolia and a hint of Vanilla, hands smell as delicate as they feel, for hours.

Mince pies, pigs in blankets, cocktails and cakes are all part of Christmas and taste great, but they can take a toll on your body as does the cold weather and central heating.

This January, as well as eating a healthy diet, drinking lots of water and taking regular exercise, you can help bring your body back to its best with the help of these products from Pure Beauty.

At this time of year, we can be on total sensory overload, so we suggest trying the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash which conditions your skin, quietens your mind and generally soothes you as you shower. Suitable for all skin types, Tea Tree, Lemon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils gently purify without stripping your skin’s own natural moisturisers while Sandalwood, Lavender, Orange and Clary Sage moisturise your skin and leaves it smooth and silky.

If it is cellulite you are worried about, you aren’t alone, but the Elemis Cellutox Active Body Oil could help. A powerful blend of Sea Buckthorn, Sea Fennel, Lemon and Juniper essential oils come together to nourish, detoxify and stimulate and is a great way to get your skin in good condition and rid your body of toxins. We suggest you use it before 7pm, and rub a little into problem areas and you will find that over time your skin will be smoothed and satin soft.

Reduced sunlight, lots of layers and time spent indoors means our skin is paler that pale at this time of year, but you can change that with the Decleor Gradual Glow Hydrating Body Milk. This light moisturiser not only nourishes your skin but also gradually tans your body so you have a beautifully natural golden glow. Extracts of Vanilla from Tahiti have been infused with Magnolia Essential Oil to offer a light, melting texture that smells great and sinks into your skin. Give it a go, we think you will like it, a lot.

Just as winter can dull your skin, it can also take the sparkle out of your hair, but fear not, the Dermalogica Daily Cleansing Shampoo is here to help. This sulphate-free, great smelling shampoo can be used every day and will leave you with healthy looking, shiny hair from the word go. For the best results, use with the Dermalogica Daily Conditioning Rinse and you will have your most vibrant, healthy hair, ever.

If you want your skin to look good, you need to exfoliate and what better way to do this than with the Elemis Devils Mint Body Scrub. Packed with silicon-rich sea plant particles, Devils Apron Seaweed and Peppermint Essential Oil this scrub washes away the dead skin cells that build up over time, and instead leave your clean, soft and more receptive to your moisturiser. Apply with gentle circular motions to damp skin when you are in the shower or bath, pay extra attention to feet, knees and elbows and watch as your skin comes alive once again.

Why not really get to work on those stubborn areas with the Elemis Body Detox Skin Brush? Made from natural cactus bristles, this effective beauty staple can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite because it works at improving your circulation as well as softening your skin and taking away dead cells. The brush can be used every day on dry skin and as you work upwards from your feet, towards your heart, lymph flow will be stimulated and your skin will be invigorated.

If we can help with any of these products, get in touch today and we will make sure we find something that will work for you and your body in 2019.

Hand and nail care might not be everyone’s primary beauty concern, but they do take a battering every day, so giving them a little TLC isn’t a bad day.

At Pure Beauty, we sell a range of products that help keep your hands and nails looking, and feeling, fantastic.

Soap can really dry out your skin, so you may want to swap it for the Elemis Sensitive Cleansing Wash. While this is a fash wash, it is ideal for sensitive, dry hands because it is made from extracts of Thyme, German Chamomile and Lady’s Mantle which soothe and calm the skin. The rich cleansing foam cleans and conditions hands without the harshness of some soaps which means they are left feeling soft and refreshed.

The Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Hand and Nail Cream is a gorgeous smelling hand cream that offers long-lasting comfort. It contains Shea Butter which is packed with essential fatty acids that leaves the hands feeling beautifully smooth and thanks to the Omegas 3, 6, 7 and Oleic Acid of Macadamia Seed Oil, skin is totally nourished from the very first use. Apply as needed and not only will you have happy hands but ones that are fragranced with the exquisite scent of Frangipani Flowers.

If you are worried about the signs of ageing on your hands, why not try the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Hand and Body Lotion? Glycolic Acid, Aminophylline and Shea Butter have been blended together to help improve the appearance of ageing and environmentally damaged skin. Used once or twice a day, this cream will lead to visibly smoother, hydrated skin.

One of our handbag essentials has to be the Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand and Nail Cream. Milk Protein, Avellana Seed Oil, Camellia, Virgin Plum and Macadamia have been mixed together to create a strong, but silky, barrier that locks in moisture. Litsea, Jasmine, Magnolia and a hint of Vanilla have also been added and this means that not only do your hands and nails look healthy and radiant, but they smell lush too.

If you do want to pay more attention to your nails, using the Elemis Sweet Orchid Monoi Body Oil can help. This divine body oil is enriched with a unique blend of Monoi and Mauve Butterfly Orchid which together condition your skin, hair, and nails. For best results, massage into your hands and feet after bathing as this will offer an intensive moisturising treatment and can form part of a home manicure and pedicure.

Age spots aren’t just a problem for faces, they can be seen on hands too. The Elemis White Brightening Dark Spot Corrector deals with these and thanks to the easy to use brush applicator, you can directly target key areas of concern on your face, neck, décolleté and hands. It is the combination of Vitamin C, Pea, Daisy and Garden Cress, a powerful anti-oxidant phytonutrient, that help reduce the intensity of dark spots and leave skin looking more even and youthful.

Healthy summer snacks

Tags

almonds, baking tray, banana, BBQ, Cinnamon, coconut oil, coconut water, dates, drink, food processor, fridge, fruit, golf ball, honey, ice, iced water, jugs, lemon and cucumber, maple syrup, oats, organic, organic coconut oil, palms, raisins, salt, smoothie, summer, teaspoons, treats, vanilla, vegetables

For many of us the summer is all about alfresco eating, ice cream and BBQs. Whilst these are all fun, the sugar and calories can soon add up especially if you add wine into the mix.

We have put together some great, easy to make recipes for snacks that will keep you fuller for longer and won’t cause a sugar crash that will leave you feeling lethargic and sluggish.

Oat and date cookie balls are easy to make, tasty to eat and make a brilliant alternative to processed biscuits.

Ingredients for 15 balls

• 1 cup organic oats
• ¼ cup of good quality maple syrup
• ½ cup organice raisins
• ½ cup organic pitted dates
• 1 tbsp. melted organic coconut oil
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt

Method

• Place the dates, cinnamon, coconut oil, maple syrup, oats, salt and vanilla into your food processor and mix together. Once you have combined the ingredients add the raisins, gradually, until you have a solid mixture.
• Take the dough out of the blender and put into a bowl.
• Roll tablespoon size balls of dough between your palms into golf-ball-size treats.
• Put the treats into the fridge for one hour to set, then place in a sealed tin and eat within 48 hours.

Banana and Mango Smoothie
Forget sugar ice-lollies and cool down with a vitamin packed, super-easy to make smoothie.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium mango
• 1 banana
• 500ml coconut water
• ice cubes

Method:

• Cut the mango down either side of the stone, then peel and cut the flesh into medium size chunks.
• Peel and chop the banana.
• Put all the ingredients into a blender and process until smooth and thick.
• You don’t have to drink this straight away but if you do place it in the fridge, ensure it is covered and drunk the same day.

Almond Butter
Nuts are packed with goodness and making your own almond butter will give you a snack you can eat with apples and carrots, pitta and rice cakes. It can be added to smoothies or simply eaten from the jar with a spoon (clean one of course)!

Ingredients:

• 300g of good organic almonds with the skin on
• Organic honey – local if you can source it

Method:

• Heat your oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5.
• Spread the almonds across a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a further 10 minutes.
• Put the almonds into a food processor and blend for around 10 minutes. You will need to stop every so often to scrape the mixture from the sides of the blender.
• Be patient as it takes a few minutes for the oils in the almonds to be released and this can be longer if you have an older blender. To start with, you will get a very dry, almost dust-like consistency. The fibers will eventually break down and once this happens you can add a couple of teaspoons of honey for taste if you want to.
• Place into a sterile jar and keep sealed in the fridge for up to a month, although we doubt it will last this long.

Also remember to keep your fridge stocked with fresh fruit and vegetable and make up jugs of iced water with lemon and cucumber to stay refreshed all day long.

Happy snacking and do let us know about any ideas or recipes you enjoy.
