New treatment — The Beauty of Threading

You requested it, and we listened — this summer we’ve added threading to our beauty menu!

Whether you’ve been eagerly waiting for this treatment to become available or you’re simply curious, there’s lots to learn about threading. We’re sure it will become one of our most popular treatments!

What is threading?

Threading is a method of hair removal that originates from India, designed to remove even the finest hairs with precision.

The therapist begins by looping a pure, twisted cotton thread in a criss-cross over the hair, removing it at the follicle level. By plucking the hair at follicle level, threading can pull out an entire row of hair at a time unlike tweezing. This results in straighter, cleaner lines which create the best shape to frame the face.

It may look easy, but it takes professional skill and practice to create beautifully groomed and well-defined arches that last longer than shaving or plucking. And unlike many ‘no appointment’ brow bars, the therapists at PURE Spa & Beauty are fully trained in the technique.

Product Spotlight: Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow

When it comes to any skincare product, there’s two things we all love: the results, and how the product affects our senses! To some, the scents and feeling on our skin matters just as much as the results.

Luckily for you, Elemis have a product that ticks all these boxes. Like an exotic escape in a jar, their Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow is an ideal summer body buff. Here’s why…

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow (480g)

With an infusion of Tahitian monoi oil and frangipani flowers, this fragrant exfoliator is an ideal summer-swap from its sister product, the Lime & Ginger Salt Glow, that Elemis are renowned for.

Rich in minerals and cleansing hibiscus, the salt scrub melts on contact with the skin and removes any excess skin. The scrub also delivers long lasting moisture through the scrub’s coconut oil base, making it both an ideal buff and moisturiser all in one.

The skin is also left lightly fragranced, adding a touch of pleasure to something that should be part of a great skin routine. And it makes a perfect gift!

The new PURE Ocean Terminal, Edinburgh

It’s been a full month now since our newly refurbished spa opened on the ground floor of Debenhams in Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre! It feels simultaneously like it just opened and that it’s been open for so much longer.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve loved welcoming all of our regular clients to the new spa and are enjoying all the new faces too.  And let’s be honest, no one is going to miss the two escalator journey to the top floor where we used to be!

Our new day spa has: 3 spa treatment rooms, relaxation room and infra-red sauna, 3 beauty treatment rooms, full mani-pedi area and dedicated tanning room.

At the ‘new’ PURE Ocean Terminal, we’ve still got all of your favourite spa packages and must-have beauty treatments amidst the busy shopping centre! Who said you have to escape to the country for some relaxation or pampering?

Though we enjoyed a (much-needed) facelift, we are still committed to delivering the very best service and providing the UK’s leading beauty products. Be sure to browse our retail area for Elemis, Leighton Denny polishes and much more retail available!

Product Spotlight: Tan Accelerator

‘Heat wave? What heat wave?’ Summer time in the UK lasts about as long as the weather forecast itself, which is why we know so many of you love using a tan accelerator.

Whether you’re making the most of a sunny day or preparing for a long holiday, applying a tan accelerator is the easiest way to get a deep, bronze and (semi) natural glow. We recommend…

Elemis Sunwise Tan Accelerator – SPF4

Many people think that tan accelerators act similar to fake tan, adding a fake hint of orange whilst moisturising the skin. Perhaps some work like this, but not our products!

Elemis Sunwise Tan Accelerator is smarter than your average cream, preparing the body for sunshine by stimulating the natural melanin production (the pigment that gives skin colour).

Containing a blend of moisturising Shea Butter, Tahitian flora and essential oils, this lotion leaves the skin soft, supple and in optimum condition for tanning, even for sensitive skin!
