Summer-ready feet at home

At PURE Spa & Beauty, we talk a lot about skincare. Now, we’re all guilty of thinking primarily about what creams and cleansers we use on our face — maybe even what scrub we might use on our bodies (Elemis Frangipani Salt Glow, right?)

But what’s often missed is the health and appearance of our feet. Peep-toe and sandal weather is wasted if you’re not keeping your skin and nails beautifully nourished. We put our feet  through so much in our lives that calluses build over time.

What is the secret to great feet?

There isn’t one! It’s all very simple really. Follow these therapist-recommended steps to achieve beautiful toesies in no time:

1) Before treating your feet, always remove all nail polish (normal, gel or otherwise!). It is often forgotten that the nail itself is a type of skin, and needs to be healthy in order to remain smooth and strong.

2) Soak your feet in warm water, taking away any aches whilst softening the skin. Leave in for approximately five minutes and gently towel dry afterwards. And if you have one of those foot spa massages, all the better!

Product Spotlight: Leighton Denny Slick Tips

“I love SLICK TIPS. It’s nail magic. Dry, rough looking cuticles immediately look moisturised and healthier while dull, dry looking nails become instantly more attractive”— Leighton Denny

What is the benefit of using the product?

If you’re looking for an instant nail reviver that also brings out the best in your manicure, this double-action nail treatment is a must-have!

Leighton Denny Slick Tips is rich in vitamin A and E which helps to moisturise dried or sore cuticles whilst adding lustre to the nails themselves. With the cold weather in the UK, this adds a much-needed, hydrating barrier to ensure your nails and the surrounding nail-bed are deeply hydrated.

Its second function is fantastic for those of you who get impatient waiting for polish to dry (so, all of us?). As a bonus, Slick Tips  can be painted over touch-dry polish to help accelerate drying time.

With the essential oils (Lemon Grass, Litsea Cubeba and Peppermint), this miracle potion smells great too!

How do I use it?

Available as a brush-applicator or as a pen, Slick Tips can be applied any time and does not need precision. Apply a generous amount and massage over and around the nail cuticle with your preferred application method.

What other products should I use it with?

Slick Tips works alongside many other Leighton Denny nail accessories. Our recommendation for a quick, at-home manicure is to pair it with a Trio buffer. Apply over each nail before and after buffing!

Available in-store and online!

Exotic Coconut Skin Ritual REVIEW — #YEAROFPURE (PT 6)

It’s time for PURE West Nile Street’s first summer! Whilst we usually offer our #YearofPURE winner the chance to try our monthly offers, we decided to treat Louise to something new on our spa menu.

Earlier this month, we added the Exotic Coconut Skin Ritual to our menu — for those of you that were fans of our Nourishing Body Wrap, consider this its luxurious evolution!

Find out what Louise thought of this treatment… spoiler alert: it was her best treatment yet!

written by Louise:

I won’t lie. When I was offered the chance to try out the Exotic Coconut Skin Ritual, I had a few reservations.

The description sounded amazing — a hydrating Elemis Nourishing Milk Bath body wrap, followed by the namesake’s coconut skin buff and face/scalp massage. Plus, I’d get to escape in the relaxation area. Sounds nice, doesn’t it?

But try as I might, I couldn’t shake the slight apprehension about it.  I just don’t opt in for this kind of thing normally. I’m sure you understand. We’re all creatures of habit.

Elemis Advanced Spa Facial Review — #YearofPURE (PT 5)

Can you believe that PURE West Nile Street has been open for over half a year now? Oh, how time flies. We’re all getting wrinkles! Just kidding, we moisturise. A lot.

Speaking of maintaining excellent skincare rituals, this month our #YearofPURE winner was booked in for an Elemis Advanced Spa Facial of her choice.  Which facial did Louise go for?

written by Louise:

After a long and stressful week at work, I was really excited to try my next treatment at PURE West Nile Street (my new home away from home when it comes to relaxing after work).

This month, I was treated to the choice of an Elemis Advanced Spa Facial of my choice.  Being treated to a facial in their spa area was luxury enough, so all I had to choose was the right facial. There were four on offer…
