Pregnant? Here Are 5 Skincare Do’s and Don’ts.Photo by Juan Encalada on Unsplash

Being pregnant can be one of the most wonderful (or most taxing, depending on your level of morning sickness!) times of your life. However, it can also be one of the most confusing, thanks to the sheer volume of information out there telling you all of the things that you shouldn’t be doing while you’re expecting a baby. This can make you feel a little like a human incubator, but never fear, you don’t have to let your pregnancy get in the way of a decent beauty routine, if you follow these five simple do’s and don’t’s!

Do Be Cautious With Essential Oils

Essential oils can be hugely potent and some are even strong enough to have truly catastrophic effects on your pregnancy. With this in mind, try to make sure you keep an eye on the ingredients of all of the beauty products you use and try to avoid any essential oils which might be harmful. For the most part, beauty products will have only a small amount of oil in them, but there’s always a chance that the concentration could be quite high.

Don’t Use Retinol

While the skin benefits of retinol are vast, during pregnancy, you ought to stay away. The risks to your unborn baby can be potentially serious and life-long and while there has not been evidence to suggest that topical vitamin A derivatives like retinol cause birth defects, it’s wise to err on the side of caution. The good news is, bakuchiol is a natural retinol alternative and is perfectly safe to use during pregnancy!

Do Use Sunscreen

Melasma is a super-common condition which can be caused by the hormones released during pregnancy and it’s estimated that 15% to 50% of pregnant women get it. One of the best ways to avoid melasma is by wearing a high SPF sunscreen, such as SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen. Since UV rays are a well-known trigger for melasma and can make hyperpigmentation darker, wearing sunscreen can help prevent melasma from flaring up and hyperpigmentation from getting worse

Don’t Forget Your Tummy!

The skin on your tummy isn’t just going to be protecting your unborn child from the outside world, it’s also going to be doing a LOT of stretching to accommodate the growth of your little one. That means that you’re going to want to ensure that the skin is as soft, supple and hydrated as possible, so as to avoid stretch marks. Evolve Organic Beauty Super Berry Body Oil is a moisturising body oil formulated to revive dry/mature skin and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Do Remember to Take Care of Yourself

Being pregnant may be wonderful but it puts a HUGE amount of strain on your body when growing a whole new person inside yourself. Taking time for self-care is so important when you’re carrying a baby, especially if you’re still working, juggling a family and a social life and dealing with all of the other things that life throws at us. Bloom and Blossom You’ve Got This Mama The Pregnancy Gift Set is a trio of performance body care products to keep your skin toned, hydrated and conditioned through this beautiful rollercoaster. The products can be used to take care of your pregnant body and leave you feeling comforted and cared for.

Five Ways that LED Masks Can Help You

 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Five Ways that LED Masks Can Help YouThere are new advancements in the beauty market almost every day, and some are more successful than others. One piece of technology about which we’re really excited is the use of LED masks, and the benefits are numerous. Here at Pure Beauty, we stock the faceLITE brand of masks, which are available for the face, hands and decolletage, so we thought we’d give you the lowdown on some of the well- and lesser-known benefits of LEDs for your skin and health.

Stimulate Collagen

Obviously, one of the main benefits of using LED technology is its ability to stimulate collagen. LED therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to visibly improve and rejuvenate skin, and the red wavelength penetrates the skin on a cellular level and encourages the production of collagen, the thing that becomes lacking and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear. This means that skin will be plumper and firmer with regular LED treatment.

Kill Bacteria

One of the main contributors to the cause of acne is bacteria, which gets into the pores and causes congestion. Certain wavelengths of LED light are effective at killing bacteria and sanitising the skin, which in turn can help to prevent acne before it even forms. It can also help to halt sebum production, which means that your skin is less oily and your pores will be less prone to clogging.

Help to Reduce Migraines

While it’s not advertised as a use for the faceLITE, LED face masks have been shown anecdotally to help to reduce migraines. According to research, the converted chemical energy from the light emitting diodes in the mask promote wound healing, are anti-inflammatory and also work as a pain control. Given how random migraines can seem to sufferers, trying something like an LED mask will allow you to try to achieve relief without immediately reaching for medications.

Improve Hydration

One of the most popular features of the faceLITE and other LED devices in the range is that they work on your skin on a deeper level to improve hydration. Light stimulates blood flow and nutrient exchange; this helps to keep skin healthy and hydrated and it also helps your skincare to work more effectively.

Increase Blood Flow and Circulation

faceLITE has been proven in trials to greatly improve skin parameters such as hydration, texture and pigmentation. faceLITE improves tissue oxygenation and blood flow and therefore absorption of skin care will be greatly improved. In fact, after 3 treatments per week for 4 weeks, 95% of people confirmed that their skin looked brighter and plumper.

Five Ways to Repair Your Skin’s Barrier

Five Ways to Repair Your Skin's Barrier

Photo by Jean Alves

We’ve written before about the skin’s barrier, including what it is and why it’s so important to protect it, but today we’re taking a look at what to do if your skin’s barrier is already damaged. When your skin’s barrier is not functioning properly, you may be more prone to developing dry, scaly skin, itchiness, rough or discoloured patches, acne, sensitive or inflamed areas and bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections – none of which are very desirable! If you think your skin’s barrier may be damaged, there are things that you can do and products you can use which will help to repair the damage and protect your skin against future deterioration. Here are five of our favourites:

Dermalogica UltraCalming Barrier Repair

This moisturiser from Dermalogica is designed to not only repair a damaged skin barrier, but also to soothe the effects of the barrier being damaged in the first place. It contains vitamins C and E that help combat free radicals and stimulate collagen formation, while an enriched oat extract with natural antioxidants and fatty acids reduces irritation and reinforces the barrier lipid layer. It also contains evening primrose oil, a skin nutrient high in gamma linoleic acid (GLA) to reinforce the barrier lipid layer.

Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask

Another product which will both repair and soothe, this mask from Elemis contains lavender and other naturally soothing ingredients which help to reduce redness, calm irritation and decongest and heal blemished skin. The mask is non-setting and therefore doesn’t dry out the skin and can be used overnight as an intensive treatment for reactive skin.

SkinCeuticals Epidermal Repair

SkinCeuticals Epidermal Repair is a therapeutic skin repair cream relieves and soothes fragile compromised or sensitive skin. It can be used as often as needed, giving you ongoing relief for sensitised skin. The formula has been tested to the highest standard and is even suitable for using on post-procedure skin as it offers such high levels of barrier repair and protection.

Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Intensive Skin Treatment Oil

Oils are a fantastic ally for skin where the barrier has been compromised and this treatment oil contains a combination of some of the best. With a blend of high-altitude grown lavender to support stressed skin and vitality reviving rose oils along with vitamin E and rosehip seed oil to nourish and encourage natural skin renewal. The formula is vegan, nut-free and contains no SLS, allowing you to repair your skin’s barrier in the knowledge that there are no nasty ingredients in this naturally-derived treatment oil.

Decleor Cica Botanic Face Mask

As we mentioned above, masks are also fantastic for repairing the skin’s barrier and this one from Decleor contains a combination of natural ingredients to provide instant nourishment. The formula has a three-in-one action which repairs the skin’s barrier, hydrates the skin and soothes redness and irritation. It contains eucalyptus essential oil for healing, as well as centella asiatica extract, madecassoside, shea butter and sweet almond oil for their nourishing properties.

Our Top Tips for Making Mature Skin Glow

Our Top Tips for Making Mature Skin GlowPhoto by Anna Shvets

There comes a time in almost everyone’s life where you realise that your skin is now classified as “mature” and things that worked for you in the past are probably not potent enough for your new skincare needs. One of the things that we hear our older clients talking about is the lack of “glow” once they reach a certain age and this is something that can be tricky to tackle. However, there are plenty of tips and tricks that you can use to make your skin look healthy again, and we’ve got a few of them for you here:

Hydrate. A LOT.

Whether you’ve always had dry skin or you’ve started to notice a more dehydrated complexion as you age, adding moisture to mature skin is the number one thing that you can do to make your skin look more glowy. If you use a daily moisturiser, you may find that you need to change it up for something a bit richer, such as Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Rich Repair Nourishing Cream. You may also benefit from using a night cream as well, and we’d recommend Elemis Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix. Also, don’t forget to hydrate from within by drinking plenty of water!

Work on Your Circulation

One of the things which can affect the dullness of your skin as you age is reduced circulation. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to encourage healthy circulation, starting with Hayo’u Beauty Restorer Rose, which is a rejuvenating crystal tool to wake up and soothe skin. It will improve energy flow, support circulation and lymphatic drainage, lift, plump and sculpt, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Decleor Micellar Oil will also encourage and stimulate  microcirculation as well as deeply cleansing the skin.

Exfoliate

Once we get to the mature skin stage, cell turnover tends to need a little extra help, which is why exfoliating is so important. Ridding your complexion of those dead skin cells will brighten your skin hugely, although it’s important to choose a product which is gentle on your ageing epidermis. REN Clean Skincare Rosa Centifolia Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser is a gentle exfoliator developed for all skin types, that will purify and detoxify your skin and is perfect for mature skin.

Look for Brightening Ingredients

It stands to reason that if you want brighter skin, you should opt for products with brightening ingredients, such as vitamin C, which you’ll find in spades in Dermalogica Biolumin-C Gel Moisturiser. The weightless, Vitamin C-rich gel formula penetrates the skin’s surface for immediate, glowing results and helps to strengthen skin’s moisture barrier. Omega 9 is another brightening ingredient which can be found in Elemis Superfood Vital Veggie Mask, a treatment mask that nourishes, smoothes and brightens for softer, more radiant skin.

Finish with a Mist

Ageing skin can usually tolerate richer creams as it needs the moisture, and can also benefit from layering different products for added hydration. Once you’ve completed your skincare regime and applied your make-up, we’d recommend finishing with a mist, such as Dermalogica Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist. It helps to saturate skin with hydration and lock in moisture to help skin bounce back and utilises four types of hyaluronic acid, helping skin hold on to water for long-lasting hydration.

Five Products to Bolster Your Complexion Ahead of the Festive SeasonPhoto by Ilyuza Mingazova on Unsplash

Whether you’ve got a quiet meal planned at home or a huge family gathering with all of the extended members of your clan, there’s no denying the fact that Christmas is often a gruelling time. There’s the planning, the prep and the parties, which can all take their toll on your body, often causing havoc with your complexion. We thought that now would be a good time to introduce you to five products which you can start using now, ahead of the festive season, which will help to bolster your complexion and ensure that the festive effect isn’t too detrimental:

Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Intensive Skin Treatment Oil

If you have dry, dehydrated or ageing skin then the combination of central heating, cold winter air and plenty of Christmas booze has the potential to make things much worse. Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Intensive Skin Treatment Oil is enriched with vitamins and natural oils to support stressed skin, and nourish and encourage natural skin renewal. You can apply it twice a week or use it as an intensive treatment over a shorter period of time, but it will do wonders for your skin during the excesses of the festive season.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Morning Matrix

This formula from Elemis is your skin’s best friend when it comes to external stressors. As well as containing Japanese Artemisia Capillaris which helps protect against the effects of blue light on the skin, turmeric helps support skin by protecting collagen and elastin from stress-induced degradation and a microalgae blend helps to protect skin from stress signals and visible ageing for a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Decleor Plum Eye Cream

The eyes are one of the first places to show the signs of stress and fatigue, and there’s rarely a more stressful and tiring time than Christmas! Decleor Plum Eye Cream is a fragrance-free cream that has a double-action formula to lift and firm the eye contours, and boost radiance. It also contains pearlescent particles and soft powders to conceal dark circles and fine lines, which will help you to “fake it til you make it” if the effects of Christmas get too heavy!

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance

This moisturising cream from Dermalogica does so much more than just hydrating your skin. It protects your complexion by combining key barrier lipids that enhance skin’s natural resilience and supports barrier recovery, as well as hyaluronic acid to bolster hydration levels.The formula smooths the appearance of dry lines and helps repair damaged skin, while botanical extracts and vitamins repair prematurely ageing skin, giving you a cream which targets current issues with your skin AND helps to prevent any future issues that may arise.

The benefits of massage during the winter months

 , , , , , 0

During the winter months as cold and flu season hits, aches and pains seem to become more prevalent , dry skin appears to worsen with extremes of temperature and depression and anxiety can hit harder with the dark, cold days ahead.
Self care during this time is vital – a diet rich in seasonal nutrient dense foods- think warming soups and stews, staying active, wrapping up warm and taking time out for regular massage can all help.
Massage is beneficial to the body no matter what season it is, but can be especially so during the winter months as the temperature drops and the days become shorter.

Massage boosts the circulation, bringing fresh oxygenated blood all over the body, warming up the muscles and making the blood flow better to ease those aches and pains. Not only does massage stretch the muscles but it helps to keep your joints working correctly too.
With regular massage the immune system is given a helping hand (literally!) by stimulating your white blood cells which in turn helps fight infections around the body making it easier to fight off colds and flu during the colder months.
This time of year with the cold air outside and then the heating on indoors, it can play havoc with the skin making it feel dry and tight. During massage the oils and lotions applied can help combat this, also improving skin elasticity by stimulating the production of collagen.
And finally, with the shorter daylight hours, it can be easy to feel unmotivated or down during this time. Massage can help by releasing happy hormones – endorphins and serotonin, relaxing you to help release stress, improve mood and ease anxiety. Improving your sleep is another benefit of massage – the better we sleep the more energised we feel during the winter months.

Minerals – The Next Big Thing in Skincare?

 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Minerals - The Next Big Thing in Skincare?Photo by Kindel Media

Unless you’ve been living in a cave and being raised by wolves, you’ve probably heard “vitamins and minerals” referred to in many different contexts, from dietary needs to what’s in your skincare. Most of us know what vitamins are and where we can find them, but are you also clear on what “minerals” are and where they can be found?

According to the National Library of Medicine “Minerals are important for your body to stay healthy. Your body uses minerals for many different jobs, including keeping your bones, muscles, heart, and brain working properly. Minerals are also important for making enzymes and hormones.”

Many of the minerals which are found in skin care are there to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays as well as daily pollutants which can interfere with the skin’s biome and are found in naturally occurring substances, such as kelp. Here are five of our favourite mineral-rich products:

Color Wow Money Masque

As we mentioned above, kelp is one of nature’s richest sources of minerals, and this hair mask contains a blend of Mediterranean sea kelp, algae and blue sea kale, which are full to the brim with nourishing minerals that deliver long-lasting hydration for dry, porous and chemically-damaged hair. It  can be used for 3-5 minutes for a quick top-up of your hydration, or for 20-30 minutes for a deeper, more nourishing treatment.

Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant

This exfoliating powder is mixed with water to make a milky solution which polishes the skin while supporting the moisture barrier for healthier-looking skin. As well as various exfoliating and moisturising ingredients, such as fruit-based grape extract and arginine, this powder contains atomised sea salt, which is rich in naturally occurring minerals such as magnesium, which soothes the skin.

REN Clean Skincare Atlantic Kelp And Magnesium Anti-Fatigue Body Cream

Once again, we’re extolling the virtues of kelp, this time from the Atlantic, in this anti-fatigue body cream from REN Clean Skincare. Atlantic Kelp Extract helps to nourish, smooth and tone by replenishing skin with moisture and essential minerals while energising magnesium PCA and plankton extract help to restore the skin’s moisture balance and enhance its natural cell renewal cycle,

Medik8 Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask

If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that we at Pure Beauty love a sheet mask, and this one from Medik8 is packed with detoxifying minerals and hyaluronic acid to help cool, restore and comfort even the most sensitive of skin types. It’s the perfect treatment for stressed-out skin, whether you’ve just had a professional treatment such as microneedling or dermabrasion, or you’ve simply had a heavy week and need some TLC for your complexion.

Dermalogica SkinPerfect Primer SPF30

Primer is an essential part of many people’s daily make-up routine and this multi-functional primer packs a real punch! Pearl powder and natural earth minerals provide a neutral tint to perfect skin tone and enhance luminosity and radiance, while a potent peptide helps to improve skin firmness, as sunscreens shield against sun damage. It can be worn alone or under make up for a perfect finish and all-day protection.

Get Some Clarity with these Clarifying Products

Get Clarity with these Clarifying ProductsPhoto by Shiny Diamond

“Clarifying” is another word which gets bandied about in the beauty community and although many of us use products which claim to be clarifying, not everyone knows what they really do! Clarifying is the process of removing unwanted buildup and residues on your skin and hair, resetting them to their natural state. It’s become increasingly popular, especially in the “curly girl” movement which advocates for removing certain ingredients from your regime as they leave too much build-up which may weigh down your natural curls. Here are some great products you can use if you want to get in on the clarifying craze!

Elemis Clarifying Serum

It’s not always been hugely common to see serums which clarify the skin, but that’s exactly what this one from Elemis does. Ideal for oily skin, this balancing formula helps clear the look of blemishes without drying skin as well as helping to control excess oil, whilst visibly reducing the look of blackheads and post-blemish discolouration. Prolonged usage will leave skin looking calmer, clearer and smoother than ever.

Medik8 Clarifying Foam

This clarifying foam from Medik8 is a deeply purifying, antibacterial foaming cleanser that unclogs pores and lightly exfoliates the skin without causing dryness or irritation. It’s potency comes from the blend of mandelic acid and salicylic acid, which are combined with natural tea tree oil to renew and detoxify the complexion, while soothing niacinamide calms the appearance of problematic skin.

Murad AHA/BHA/Retinoid Daily Clarifying Peel

This clever little product has an oil-on-water formula which, when shaken, blends a resurfacing retinoid and glycolic acid with salicylic acid to gently yet effectively help clarify pores and improve surface cell turnover for smoother skin. It’s a powerhouse of a product which can be used nightly to exfoliate and resurface the skin while helping to reduce shine and restore balance.

Olaplex No.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo

As we mentioned above, clarifying isn’t just for the skin – hair which has product build-up can look dull and lifeless too. This shampoo from haircare giants Olaplex is an advanced clarifying shampoo powered by an exclusive broad-spectrum clarifying system, that delivers a powerful deep cleanse – removing buildup and impurities and clears the way for healthier hair. It also strengthens the hair’s bonds, making it stronger, shinier and more healthy looking.

UpCircle Clarifying Face Mask with Olive Powder

If you like your beauty products to have a conscience but still want clear, balanced skin then this mask is for you. Made with the fine powder of discarded olive stones, this detoxifying mask is suitable for all skin types and also harnesses the powers of white kaolin clay, coconut powder and baobab oil to reveal a smooth, revitalised complexion. The formula is also vegan, cruelty-free and totally free from palm oil.
