Everyone’s skin is different.

Yes, we all have a skin type. But sometimes, our skin concerns can vary. We can have a mixture of breakouts and dry patches. As well as, the desire to want youthful and healthy looking skin.

That’s where your products and how you’re using them will help you. Let’s talk about multi-masking.

Face Masks

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.

COLLAGEN

We all know that to have healthy, youthful and plump skin, we need to have a sufficient level of Collagen being produced and present in our skin. But why?

Let’s look into exactly what Collagen is, and why it is so important in the prevention of ageing.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein that is naturally produced in our bodies. It is the most abundant protein, it can be found in our skin, bones, muscles and tendons. Collagen is what keeps our bodies nice and strong, and holds the structure. Which is why it is so important for us to have enough collagen, to give our skin strength and elasticity.

Unfortunately, as we get older, the amount of collagen produced in our bodies decreases, resulting in premature ageing. In fact, from the age of 25, it’s believed that our collagen levels reduce every single year by 1%. Meaning, by the age of 80, you will be producing at least 55% less collagen every year. With this, your collagen fibres will also become thinner and weaker, which could increase your amount of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.

Hi, I’m Caitlin. Skin Expert at Pure Emporium.

Since working with Environ, I have loved finding products that can help improve skin concerns, as well as improving overall skin health. Today, I’m going to be talking you through one of my favourite Environ products and exactly why you need it in your skin care regime.

Are you a regular waxing client at our clinic?

At Pure Emporium Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer 2 methods for hair removal. Waxing and Laser/IPL. In today’s blog post, I’m going to be talking you through the differences between these 2 treatments, and how you could be saving yourself quite a bit of money in the long run!

Let’s get into it…

WAXING

Waxing is a very popular method of hair removal. It is a quick and safe method that can be used almost anywhere on the body. Compared to shaving, waxing lasts longer. With shaving, you’ll be reaching for the razor in a matter of days. Whereas with waxing, you can be hair free for up to 6 weeks!

With waxing, the hair tends to grow back slower and finer. The reason for this is because waxing removes hair from the follicle. Overtime, you may notice that the area in which you are being waxed may even start to look more sparse.

With Autumn just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get ready to switch up your skincare. - Yes, you've heard that right, we need to alter our skincare routines when it comes to a seasonal change. Our skin changes constantly throughout the year. The seasons, weather and humidity can have a MASSIVE impact on our skin.

Today, I’m going to be talking you through some of my top seasonal skincare tips to keep your skin looking and feeling fresh, healthy and glowing.

First things first…

To start with, you need to have an adequate skincare routine that you are carrying out morning and night. Everyone, no matter the skin type or concern, should be looking after their skin with products that are suitable to them. You need to have your base products. Then from there, you will just make slight adjustments during the change in seasons, to ensure that your skin is getting EXACTLY what it needs.

Everyone’s skin is different.

We all need different products, treatments and routines to target our skin concerns. Whether you have a super-long skin regime, or a short and simple one, what’s really important is that you are using products that are suited to your skin type. We know that there are 3 main skin types. Dry, Oily and Normal. Sometimes, you may have more than one skin type. This is called “Combination” skin.

In today’s blog, we are going to make it easy for you. You’ll find out the importance of knowing your skin type, as well as finding out exactly what skin type you have and how’s best to start your skin journey.

The Importance of Knowing Your Skin Type

By now, you’ll know that there are 3 main skin types. Skin types are determined by genetics. However, how you treat your skin, along with some external and internal factors, can contribute to your overall skin condition.

Knowing your skin type is so important. This is the first step when beginning your Skin Care Routine and finding products that are going to promote healthy skin.

About My Skin:

Luckily, I’ve never been one to really suffer with my skin. The odd pre-menstrual breakout here and there or maybe some patches of dryness following weather changes, but other than that, I’ve always been pretty happy with the condition of my skin. However, at the start of 2022, I had a number of stressful months and let me tell you, my skin suffered.

Are you ready to ditch your razor?

The worry of unwanted hair can get boring. I don’t know about you, but sometimes the thought of even having to jump in the shower to shave is so off-putting. I’d much rather wear an outfit that would just cover it up, than put in the constant effort.

BUT… now there is a solution that can solve all of our hair-issues.

Introducing IPL Hair Removal.

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This is the technique that we use to to target your hair follicles and create long lasting Hair Removal.

For IPL, we need hair that has pigment. So we can treat Black, Brown and Light Brown Hair. We CANNOT treat blonde, grey, white or red hair. The reason for this is because dark colours are able to absorb the light. In fact, the darker the hair, the better the results.
