WHY SHOULD I USE A FACE MASK?

An Environ face mask should be a staple in your at-home skincare routine. Not only will it add luxury and a feel of “pamper” to your routine, but it will also be VERY beneficial for your skin. They are used to target specific skin concerns. They can promote hydration, remove excess oils, and refine your pores. Some are even SUPER anti-ageing.

Give your skin the treatment it deserves. Think of it as a mini-facial in the comfort of your own home. Whether your using them for a quick fix, or even as a more intense treatment, a face mask will do wonders for your skin!

WILL STRESS AGE ME?

Stress is something that our body naturally reacts to.

When the body is put in a position of stress, the hormone 'cortisol' gets released.

Unfortunately our skin, is an immediate stress target when life's 'overload' triggers the brain and skin cells to release the hormone called cortisol.

When we think of stress, we think of being bogged down with a million things and life getting overwhelming.

Let’s look at stress a little deeper…

BEAUTY TIPS - DITCH THE WIPES

Let’s understand the importance of cleansing… with a cleanser!
Deep down we know that cleansing our face with a cleanser is the best thing for healthier skin… I’m sorry to burst any bubbles, but face wipes are not a suitable alternative.
If you use them, you may think they’re convenient, quick and easy, but trust us when we say the negatives vastly outweigh the positives. (And, I cleanse my skin faster with a cleanser and clean flannel than I would removing my makeup with any type of wipe!)
Here is a professional beauty tip for healthier skin - ditch the face wipes!
If you’re still using wipes on your face, and want to know the reasons why we would highly recommend that you stop, here’s why…

MEDICAL GRADE SKINCARE VS HIGH STREET PRODUCTS

You may go to the high street for your shopping, and you might see skincare in the aisles at the supermarket… but what is the true difference between the quality of these products versus what you can purchase at the beauty / aesthetic salon?

If you’re a big fan of skincare, or visit a salon regularly, you have more than likely seen that the brands a salon will provide are different to those you see on the high street or supermarket shelves. At Pure Emporium we do exactly this.

But what really is ‘medical grade skincare’? Why does it differ to high street brands, and why should you consider spending your hard-earned cash on it, when you can get products cheaper in town?

Maskne. Skin issues from wearing masks?

The face masks we are wearing on a daily basis are causing havoc for our skin. We aren’t used to it, our skin isn’t used to it and it’s creating skin concerns such as dryness, breakouts and congestion around the mouth, nose and cheek area. Does this sound familiar?

Read our Top Tips to overcoming ‘Maskne’ and the skin concerns created by wearing masks on a regular basis to get your skin back on track regarding it’s healthy, feeling good and looking gorgeous.

The Best Anti-Ageing Skincare Treatments

Ageing is something we are all trying to avoid.

Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself, or caught yourself in the mirror and thought, oh my god, where did those lines come from?! When did I start looking old?!

Now, my motto is that prevention is always better than cure - however if you’ve got to the stage of not knowing what to do next to reverse the signs of ageing, it’s important you know which way to turn, and what options you have available to you.

Back To School Soothing Limited Edition Treatments

The children are now back to school, after what feel like the longest time off in forever and at long last some sort of routine may resume.

It's a fresh start for the children.

How much time have you taken out just for yourself over the last 6 months?

This is the perfect time for a fresh start for you too.

Put yourself first.

Give yourself something back.

Our September Limited Edition treatments have been created with total relaxation in mind and are based on giving yourself some time back.

We believe you deserve it, and you should too.

WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR MAKEUP OFF AT NIGHT?

It's been said that by leaving your makeup on at night it will age you by 24 hours.
That's adding an extra day onto your looks! We don't want that!

Throughout the day, dirt, grime, excess oils and pollution sit on the surface of your skin or makeup. Without washing this off, it will stay there when you go to bed.

The thought of this transferring to our pillow is pretty grim.

Apart from not wanting to be a dirty dolly, why else is taking your makeup off at night so important?!

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEANING YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES

The importance of cleaning makeup brushes is sometimes rather overlooked. What would you say if you were told there could be more bacteria lying in between the bristles of your makeup brsh than on your toilet seat? I can see your face grimacing right now!

Here’ the truth about why you should clean your makeup brushes and how to clean your brushes in the future..

HIGH QUALITY SKINCARE

We are all quick to nip to the shops and buy a new outfit for an evening out, or have a browse online and order a new pair of shoes for a special occasion... but let's not forget the most important part of your outfit... YOUR SKIN.
Your skin is 90% of your selfie, and without feeling happy and confident with your skin your pictures will probably disappoint you.

ENVIRON: WHAT IS VITAMIN A ALL ABOUT?!

So why is Vitamin A in skincare so good?!
Dr Des Fernandes, Environ founder and scientific director, revealed that Vitamin A is the one molecule that plays a vital role in our metabolic processes. As it works on the DNA it can determine the behaviour of the stem cells. By normalizing how cells function, Vitamin A is able to influence cells to behave in a younger, healthier way.
