Christmas is all about showing the people that you love, just how much you appreciate them. It can be hard finding something that you think they’ll like, especially when you’re buying someone that says “they don’t need anything”. But, it’s about the thought that goes into the gift, and sometimes, the smaller gifts, turn out to be the ones that they love the most.
I know that Christmas isn’t about the gifts, it’s about spending time with your family and friends. But, I love surprising my loved ones. There’s nothing like the look on someone’s face when they’ve opened an unexpected gift that they love so much.
It can be difficult finding the right gift. We want them to be extraordinary and special. So, for this reason, at Pure Emporium, we’ve put together some of our Top Gift Ideas to give you some inspiration.

Having skin that is classed as “sensitive” can be a struggle. Dealing with irritation and redness isn’t fun, especially when they can cause your skin to become itchy, dry and even textured
But... did you know that there’s a difference between having a Sensitive Skin Type and having a temporary skin condition that’s making your skin sensitised?
So, what is the difference?
Sensitive Skin is naturally “reactive skin”. If you get skin irritation and flare ups from certain foods, products and ingredients, it’s more than likely that you have a Sensitive Skin Type.
However, Sensitised Skin is technically a type of injury. It is the result of overstimulation of the skin. Certain products, treatments and how you care for your skin can cause it to become “injured”.
The beauty industry is constantly expanding and you can find information literally anywhere. Online, in a magazine, in books or on posters. We all want to know what is best for us and what will give us amazing results, but sometimes, the information that we are given, is not always correct. In fact, there are many facts out there, that could cause a lot more harm than good.

Shouting out to all my impatient humans out there!
Are you the type of person that tries something, doesn't see results within a week, and then shoves the bottle of whatever you’re using in the drawer and start searching for an alternative? If so, this information is definitely for you!
Sensitive skin or Reactive skin is something that we come across frequently.
When our skin is working at it’s best, it has the protective layer that locks in moisture and prevents anything penetrating through it and causing issues. When this layer gets damaged, which can be caused by a number of factors, your skin becomes sensitive or reactive to things in the environment or what you use on it topically.
The best way to think of this is ‘irritated.’ If your skin is irritated it will feel like one, some or all of the below:
Itchy and tight
Red
Blotchy
Sensitive skin is more delicate, and more susceptible to reactions caused by external factors - weather, pollution, chemicals, makeup, household cleaning products and general cosmetics.
Oooooo where do we start! We LOVE Hyaluronic Acid!
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in skin known for its incredible capacity to attract and hold onto 1000x its weight in water / moisture. It assists in replenishing skin to enhance a healthy, supple look and feel.
It works like a sponge, to help retain the moisture and plump the skin.
As we age our skin loses the ability to retain the water, and the amount of Hyaluronic Acid that our body naturally creates depletes. (Yet another downside to ageing, sorry folks!) Over time, wrinkles and lines will form and our skin will lose it’s ‘bounce’.
It works alongside Vitamin A incredibly well. It attracts and holds onto moisture in the skin cells and gives the skin more of a plumped and smooth appearance! When you’re using products containing Vitamin A alongside Hyaluronic Acid, your skin is set for a breath of fresh air….
Needling the skin is something that is SUPER effective… when it's done in the correct way, with the correct tools, following on with the correct products!
What's the purpose of micro-needling? It's designed to push your active topical skincare deeper into your skin. The needles create tiny little channels where the products saturate to lower layers of the skin, and we always hit home about getting the products to the lowest layers will create more change - FACT.
Environ launched the world's FIRST cosmetic roller and pioneered the concept of Micro-Needling more than 20 years ago.
The truth is, when you move up the scale with your Vitamin A levels, your skin becomes more protected, which is exactly what we want, but it also means we need to do more to get what we want to where it needs it - which is where the needling comes in.
Microneedling / at home skin rollers / Skin Needling all mean the same thing and is something that we highly recommend…
Blackheads look like little dark dots, usually flat to the skin’s surface within the pore.
These can be caused by a build up of oil mixed with dead skin cells, blocking the hair follicles meaning the oil that would normally flow through becomes trapped and clogs up.
When the pore becomes blocked and congested in this way, and when it gets to the skin’s surface and oxygen hits it, it causes it to turn black / dark in colour - (where the name ‘blackhead’ comes from.)
A blackhead commonly gets mistaken for dirt being stuck in the pores - untrue!
We know that exfoliating in the right way will help clear skin. I repeat, THE RIGHT WAY. This is not by using harsh granular scrubs that will strip the skin of it’s natural oils. We need those oils for the skin to work at it’s best, as well as looking great.
We've been talking with Environ about the best way to help you get rid of them at home, with their incredible products!
Here's the best way of fighting them off at home whilst giving your skin a gorgeous glow:
They definitely aren't a new thing to the industry of skincare, and they certainly aren’t going anywhere!
Peptides are needed and very necessary when it comes to anti-aging skincare.
If you’re looking for younger looking skin, peptides within the formulation are a must.
In a nutshell, peptides are Cell Communicators - telling the skin to do something specific. When applied topically to the skin, they act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, along with encouraging skin to look and act younger.

Here’s a generic guide to how we would support you towards your big day…
Have you ever wondered when the best time is to start using anti-ageing skincare? We hear the statement: 'my mum's skin was amazing so mine will be too!’ frequently as well. I don’t want to be the fun police or anything but this isn’t necessarily the case…
We control 80-90% of the way our skin will age. It’s a fact that 80-90% of the way we age is determined by what we do to the skin. Sun exposure, stress, alcohol, smoking, diet, digestion - all of these things will hugely impact the ageing process long-term.
This means that only 10-20% of the way we age will be down to genetics. So if you’re solely basing how you think you will age on those further up in your family tree… you may well be disappointed.
Maybe you think you should start using anti ageing skincare when you turn 30? 40? Perhaps when you hit the big 5-0? It's a question we're asked frequently, and if you're not already using specific anti-ageing skincare, you need to keep on reading...
Retinol is a true buzz word when it comes to skincare, but there's a lot of confusion that surrounds it. Let's dig deep into what it actually is.
Fact - Retinol IS VITAMIN A. Yep. It's the same thing.
Vitamin A comes in many different forms. And Retinol is simply one of them.
The many forms derived from Vitamin A ultimately, all of these forms do the exact same thing. Inside the skin, they change to Retinoic Acid.
All of these forms of Vitamin A transform in the skin to Retinoic Acid at different speeds, and it's this that the skin recognises and thrives from to become healthy and helps to repair skin cells as well as a whole host of benefits- It will strengthen the skin, boost immunity, balance oil production and has HUGE anti-ageing benefits.
It’s the way the skin will cope with them that differentiates between them. Let’s dig deeper…
