Not only does a facial provide you with time to relax, but more importantly, it will have HUGE benefits on the health and condition of your skin. Your skin is the biggest organ of your body. We need to take the time to look after it! When thinking about your regular hair appointments, don’t forget to do the same for a facial. If you’re booking regular appointments, you’ll easily get into a routine with it. - Your skin deserves nothing less.
At Pure Emporium, we offer both Environ and CACI Facials. If you haven’t heard of these before… Where have you been?!
It’s officially the start of the year. Many of us set New Years Resolutions, we set goals and ideas to achieve. Instead of setting a resolution that is focussed on an “End Goal” or an amount, I am simply saying that 2022 is going to be a year where all I want, is for myself and my family to be happy and healthy.
Interestingly, did you know that your mind affects your actions far more than any other physical parts of your body? Having a negative mindset can prevent you from achieving any dreams or goals that you have set. Your mind is powerful. When thinking positively, your mind can make you realise your dreams and more often than not, you can achieve anything. The key to combating any negativity, is to have meaningful affirmations.
It’s the time of year for fresh starts. For planning goals. And for setting our New Years Resolutions.
At Pure Emporium, the New Year can only mean one thing. It’s time to start planning how we can make your experience in the salon EVEN better. Now, as January is usually a weird month for us all, we’ve decided to put together a few different packages so that you can treat yourself this New Year. Wanting to start pampering yourself every now and again? - taking the time out that you deserve. Or perhaps you want to start a new skin routine, and really focus on making your skin the best it can be. Well, we are here to help you.
This January, we have got 3 different treatment packages on offer for you. So, if you’re ready for a treat, why not choose one of these.
For many, New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest nights of the year. It’s a time for rebirth and reflection. It gives us chance to celebrate yet another year. Whether you are ready for a fresh start, or just simply want to look back and cheers to all of your achievements throughout the year, it’s a great time to get together with family and friends and have a party.
Again, New Years Eve may be slightly different to those previous. Whether there are regulations in place, or you just want to do something a bit different to normal, New Years Eve can be celebrated in the comfort of your own home. AND, it can be just as fun.
We’ve put together some ideas to keep a New Years at home, fun, cosy and just as special.
I don’t know how you feel, but personally, Christmas has come around so quick for me this year! It’s come that fast, that I’m actually struggling to feel festive. – it still feels like it should be November! With only 4 more sleeps until the big day, all of Team Pure Emporium wanted to share some of their Festive Favourites.
Something that I love doing, is finding out what everyone likes or dislikes at Christmas. And, what funny traditions everyone has. Everyone does Christmas differently. Your perfect Christmas, may not be the same as others. The main thing, is that we all have a day that we enjoy. And hopefully, it’s full of fun, love, and laughter.
So, how do you spend Christmas and what are some of your Christmas Favourites?

I’ve put together a guide, that will show you exactly how you can get the best results when using your skincare at home correctly.
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.
Have you ever been told to not wear makeup because it’ll give you spots or to cleanse until you skin is “squeaky clean”? Read on and find out our top 10 Beauty Myths and the truth behind them. Let’s give you tips that will really work.

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:
