Name: Rachelle
Position: Digital Media Exec
Location: PURE Head Office
Skin Type: I have extremely dry skin that can become really sensitive and achy meaning I have quite blotchy and uneven skin tone. I don’t particularly suffer with spots but I often react to products with break outs so I have to be really careful what i put on my skin. Even though I suffer mostly with dryness, I do develop an oily tzone throughout the day so it feels like I have every skin issue sometimes!
Morning Skincare Routine
I’ve recently started using a different morning cleanser after a recommendation from Lisa at PURE Spa Silverburn. As soon as I get up I rub Elemis Rehydrating Rosepetal Cleanser into my skin and leave it for a few minutes then hop into the shower and rinse it off with a face cloth or facial sponge. I don’t really like wipe off cleansers which put me off this product to begin with but since Lisa explained that it can be washed off with water, I much prefer it. After my shower I then tone with Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner just by spritzing it on a cotton pad and rubbing it all over my face. I find it really cools my skin down after showering and leave me feeling refreshed. After that I apply REN Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel on my under eyes which again is really refreshing in the morning and finally, I moisturise with Elemis Maximum Moisture Day Cream.
Evening Skincare Routine
I usually try and take my make up off as soon as I get home from work. I use Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser on a dry face and massage it in for a few minutes, sometimes leaving it to sit, just to get a bit more of a benefit and just rinse with a facial sponge. It’s really convenient how it removes all your make up, including eye make up so you don’t have to faff about with loads of products. I’ll then tone with the same Apricot toner and apply Elemis Maximum Replenish Night Cream before I go to bed as well as my REN Eye Gel.
Weekly Skincare Habits 
I exfoliate every few days-i use Elemis Skin Buff which gives really instant results and you can really feel the dry skin coming off but it’s not really ideal for my more dry and sensitive skin so I plan to start using Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel which exfoliates with fruit enzymes rather than grains. I also try to use a mask at least once a week and try different ones that the girls at PURE Lothian Road recommend to be depending on how my skin is looking. My favourites are REN Glycolactic Mask and Elemis Exotic Cream Moisturising Mask.
Body Care Routine
Unsurprisingly I also suffer with really dry skin on my body too which isn’t helped by my love of fake tan! I moisturise every morning, usually with Soap and Glory Body Butter and often use an oil, too (usually just johnston’s baby oil!) I exfoliate my body probably every second day with a scrub from Soap and Glory or Lush and exfoliating gloves. Throughout the day I also keep a hand cream and lip balm on my desk so I remember to keep them moisturised as they tend to get dehydrated in the office! I really like L’occitane hand creams and Blistex lip balms are pretty good too (the more hydrating the better!)
Secret Tips and Tricks 
Lyn at Lothian Road makes me keep my REN Eye Gel in my make up bag so that I can apply it throughout the day. I work on a computer all day and the refreshing gel can easily be applied over my make up and give me a bit of a refresh. Oh and never apply fake tan to your inner wrists- I use an old towel to wipe off excess on my inner arms so it doesn’t look so fake.
The Product That Keeps My Skin Looking Great
Probably my Elemis Pro Radiance Cleanser. It gives your face that plumped up healthy look.
Favourite Product
At the moment REN Active 7 Eye Gel because i’m seeing really great results from it and it doubles up as a refresher throughout the day.
Ideal PURE Treatment
You can’t beat a good massage. As someone with really bad posture that sits at a desk all day I really look forward to a good massage and I feel the effects immediately. I also find the whole experience really relaxing.
