PURE Spa & Beauty are proud to present the EXCLUSIVE first salon launch of Leighton Denny’s Sun-Believable tanning range this weekend!
Yes, indeedy! We are the first salon to ever launch Sun-Believable for professional use in our salons!! Not that we’re too excited or anything.. ahem! 😉
We have the man himself coming up to train our PURE Spa therapists on his tanning treatments on Friday & Saturday this week. Everyone’s pretty excited at Head Office and in the salons! We can’t decide which of his nail colours to wear.. (though ‘I Love Juicy‘ is a PURE favourite!) We will also be holding a press Q&A with him, so expect to see a blog post on the events next week – and an interview in The Scotsman! Very glam..

Some of our PURE Spa Ocean Terminal girls & the Pure Gym personal trainers!
Over the summer, PURE Spa UK and Pure Gym in Edinburgh will be partnering-up to launch a ‘Beach Body Beautiful‘ campaign. Our Ocean Terminal team will be flying the flag for PURE, working hard to get fit, healthy & beach body beautiful..!
Before our official launch, the Ocean Terminal team have been getting acquainted with their new routine and have a few words to say on their challenging journey..
In the words of Marie-Claire, Ocean Terminal’s Spa Manager:
“The main reason we all started this was simply to get fit. We decided that as a health and well-being company we needed to practice what we preach, and realised the whole team could do better.
Myself and Jamie (OT receptionist) started going to the gym at the beginning of the year, this coupled with Karla’s success meant the whole team decided to commit to a healthier lifestyle and support each other.
We thought that this would tie in perfectly to the campaign as it would allow us to interact with our clients and perhaps get to know them a little better.”
As Marie-Claire mentioned, one of PURE’s longest-serving employees, Karla, has been on a weight-loss journey which has inspired her colleagues to team up and pursue their own personal goals as well as being ambassadors for PURE’s overall values of health & well-being!

Karla has so far lost an incredible 5 stone since January 2013. Above shows her before & after shots, showing her progress so far! We are so proud of her and wish her (and the whole OT team) lots of luck.
During the course of the campaign, she will act as our primary blogger & our champion for Beach Body Beautiful, giving progress updates on her weight loss journey, alongside other OT staff members every week! They will all focus on different aspects of health & fitness, giving all our clients & fans lots of inspiration.
Our first blog will come from Karla next week.. stay tuned! And welcome to our campaign! We hope it encourages you to make positive changes to your own lifestyle..

This week, I’ll be giving you the lowdown on the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, which is stocked in all our salons & in our PURE Spa Shop online.
REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, £30
What’s the best thing about this product?
As a 21 year old, fine lines & wrinkles are not at the top of my agenda, but I do find that I can often suffer from a serious bout of dullness & lack of radiance! Every woman wants glowing skin, and this product is the best thing I’ve tried for creating a glow in a matter of minutes.
Before a night out, I always whip this out and give my skin 10 minutes of miracle-working so my skin is sufficiently prepped (resulting in less make-up in the process, hurray!).
If the amazing glowing results don’t intrigue you, you might be lured in by the incredibly fruity scent (which smells a bit like apricots). I can never stop breathing in the scent when I use this product.. (same with my friends!)
How do I use it?
It acts as a fruit acid peel, but don’t be scared of the word “acid”! Fruit acids are all the rage in the skin-care industry nowadays – as opposed to traditional abrasive exfoliators which slough away dead skin cells. With these acids, the fruit acids gently remove the dead skin and renew the overall complexion.
After applying a generous amount to clean dry skin, the product is left for 10 minutes to do its thing. After the time is up, it is recommended you use a warm damp muslin cloth/face cloth to gently wipe off the mask, before rinsing off any left-over residue.
Many experts recommend a continued weekly use for a period of a month or so to see the full benefits. Schedule it into your routine!
What do the beauty experts say?
“The fruit-acid complex in this creamy mask perks up tired skin, leaving it radiant”. ELLE
Big-Day Beauty Awards, The Best in Wedding Skincare. Award For Instant Brightening: “Though several weekly treatments were nominated, this one stood out for its lightning-fast results. “I noticed a difference the first time I used it” was a recurring comment we just couldn’t ignore”. Martha Stewart Weddings
“A gentle, fruit-acid based alternative to at-home chemical peels that’s magic on flaky skin and fine lines”. Marie Claire
“5 stars out of 5: Works like magic on dull skin, plumps out fine lines and improves texture from the word go – a great investment”. LOOK
“Use a mask once a week for fresh-looking, super-soft skin. REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask is the perfect radiance booster and gives instant results”. WOMAN & HOME
Great – where can I buy it?!
The REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask is available to purchase on the PURE Spa Shop. It comes from the REN Radiance collection (which incorporates other products, such as: the new Satin Perfection BB Cream, Radiance Perfecting Serum & the Resurfacing AHA Concentrate (another product I swear by!)
N.b: This product is not recommended for those suffering with sensitive skin, as it does result in a bit of tingling on application (which tends to mean it’s doing its job for anyone else with normal skin-types!)
With Father’s Day sneaking up on us this Sunday (June 16th, get it noted down!), you might well still be stuck for ideas on what to get for that father figure in your life..
Men are notoriously difficult to buy for, but let us take that last-minute stress away and give you a few cheeky little ideas to treat him to some well-deserved indulgement!
Here at PURE Spa, we are celebrating Father’s Day by offering a ‘Just For Men’ Spa Package offer, starting at £60 during off-peak hours (Mon-Thurs, 9am-5pm) and £75 for an any-time offer.. This offer is available as an E-Voucher, meaning you don’t have to wait for any annoying postal deliveries of traditional gift vouchers! Simple.
If that doesn’t tempt you, we also have two products which fly off the shelves for men..
The Elemis SOS Survival Cream is a favourite of our male clients, and it is the ultimate daily face moisturiser for men who suffer with sensitive, irritated, dry or blemish-prone skin. With ingredients including marine extracts, lavender and myrrh, this moisturiser is a must-have. It’s particularly a great product for sportsmen & outdoor lovers alike!
Our most popular product with men, however, is the Elemis De-Stress Massage Oil. It is the ultimate indulgent gift for men who want to wind-down at the end of a long day, letting all thoughts drift away with the scent of pure rosewood, melissa, marjoram, geranium, rosemary, lavender and chamomile ingredients… mmm!
If these two wonder products don’t attract you, have a look at our Gifts for Him range in the PURE Spa Shop for a few other male grooming gifts which might hit the spot..
Are you all prepared for the big day or are you a last-minute panic-buyer? Let us know in the comments below!
On Sunday PURE Union Square hosted an event with North East Blogger Events and Leighton Denny Expert Nails! We wanted to give the bloggers an insight into Leighton Denny & make them fall in love with the products just as much as we did when we launched LDEN at PURE back in 2012!
After a nibble on canapes and bubbly and tour of the spa, the bloggers were shown the hottest nail trends from Nat at Leighton Denny Expert Nails.
Nat is Leighton Denny’s right hand man and travels throughout the UK sharing Leighton’s best tips & tricks. He has also presented Leighton Denny products on QVC and helps name the polishes. The new ‘Mines a Rose‘ colour for S/S 13 was his name choice. I wonder why?! 🙂
Heather, PURE’s Marketing Exec took to the nail bar as the hand model (a lot of pressure!). Nat’s masterclass was brilliant and he even gave us some new nail art ideas to try in salon! Nat demonstrated all of Leighton’s signature looks including colour cocktailing & reverse french. Check out the nail techniques here….
Colour Cocktailing – Did you know you can combine 2 Leighton Denny nail colours to create a brand new look? Try Golden Girl with Paparazzi together for a lovely metallic red!
Reverse French – Paint your nail with core colour. Use the Corrector Fluid & brush to gently remove a smile line at the tip of your nail. In fill with contrasting polish for a funky look!
The bloggers also got a goody bag full of brand new products at PURE to take home with them including the Elemis Cleansing Balm & REN BB Cream. Lucky Lucky 🙂
Thanks to Laura, the North East Bloggers and Leighton Denny Expert Nails for a fabulous evening!
You can purchase Leighton Denny Expert Nails products from PURE Shop online with FREE DELIVERY! You can also book manicures & pedicures with Leighton Denny Expert Nails at all PURE locations across Scotland.
