January Detox: PURE’s Guide to Detoxing

It’s a common theme in January, everyone trying to detox to get rid of the horrible post Christmas feelings. So this month we have asked PURE Fans, PURE Staff and friends of PURE to share their top detoxing tips, because we all know we need a little encouragement and advice to achieve our goals. Here is PURE’s Guide to New Year Detoxing…

PURE Staff

Louise from PURE Head Office says: ‘Avoid alcohol! We all know that alcohol has lots of calories but you need to consider how much the late night pizza after a night out with friends will really help your detox!’

Nadine from PURE Lothian Road says: ‘Try and avoid the snacking! I know it’s easier said than done but all the girls at Lothian Road are encouraging each other to eat healthy which really helps when you have support from your friends’

Lisa from PURE Union Square says: ‘The sauna is a favourite at PURE Spa Aberdeen. You can burn up to 800 calories in one session and your skin is soft and supple after. It’s my top detox tip without having to spend hours at the gym’

Marie Claire from PURE Ocean Terminal says: ‘I always set myself goals at the start of the year. It helps keep me focused. Whether they are personal or work related it definitely helps me detox my mind!’

PURE Friends

Nadia from Leighton Denny says: ‘Your nails need time for some detoxing too. Leighton suggests using a 14 day regime using RENOVATE and the DUPLEX BUFFER in the Leighton Denny Totally Groomed Set. Put a small dab of renovate cream on your nails and rub until it is full absorbed. Then buff with the side 2 of the buffer. Do this everyday for 2 weeks and your nails will be strong and healthy and will help polish to last longer!’

Jennifer from Elemis says: ‘January is the perfect time to get your skincare in order. Do you cleanse, tone and moisturise? These are the top 3 tips to get skin your crave. Try the Half Price Elemis Cleanser/Toner Duo sets out this January to begin your ultimate personal skincare range’

Adele from REN says: ‘Use REN’s Award Winning range of body scrubs, like Moroccan Rose Body Polish, to detox your skin. Removing the dead layer of skin from your body is the first step to the perfect detox!’

PURE Fans

Here are some of the top detox tips that were shared on our twitter page during Jan:

@purespa cranking up the green tea intake, vitamins (!), lots of water, less alcohol & weekly detoxifying face masks #competition #detoxjan

@purespa meal planning – a great way to stick to healthy eating, if you don’t buy it you can’t eat it – put fruit instead of choc on ur list

@purespa Support your detox by: having a good night’s sleep, treat yourself to a massage and brush dry skin before showering #competition

The best way to detox is to incorporate lots of different healthy activities with a bit of pampering. This way you will feel less regimented and more likely to keep up your detox further into the year. Focus on healthy eating, exercise and the odd spa/beauty treatment to lift your spirits and make you feel ready to tackle the new year ahead!

Don’t forget you can still buy our great value Detox Packages until 31st January 2013. Choose from Top to Toe Spa Detox Package from £55 or the Beauty Detox Package also from £55. Packages are available to buy as a gift voucher valid for 3 months from PURE Shop.

Guest Post: REN Radiance Range by The Likely Lady

We love a good competition at PURE and we occasionally ask our winners to review their prize! January’s Twitter competition winner, Laura was more than happy to review the REN Radiance Starter Kit that we gave her. Here’s what she has to say…

“Recently, I won a starter kit from the REN Radiance range as part of Pure Spa’s Twitter competition.They called out to fans to give them their best detox tips, and I was lucky enough to win! These were my tips:

@purespa cranking up the green tea intake, vitamins (!), lots of water, less alcohol & weekly detoxifying face masks #competition #detoxjan

I’m definitely working hard to implement these new habits into 2013! So what could be more appropriate than trying out the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask & the Radiance Perfection Serum..?

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask

The Claim

REN describe this product as:

“A potent bio active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dramatically improve skin tone.”

The ingredients include Bio Extracts of Natural Fruit Acids.

The Reality

On first impressions, the mask smells lovely and fresh, with a fruity scent from the fruit acids within very apparent. After cleansing my face, I applied the mask liberally – as directed on the tube – all over my face, avoiding the delicate eye area. I then let it work its magic for 10 minutes while I faffed around..

During the process, the product left a tingling on my skin – which may alarm some people, particularly anyone with sensitive skin, who REN recommend do not use this. I did find this aspect a little unsettling, but obviously it should mean the fruit acids are working to exfoliate and renew cell turnover. If in doubt, a patch test beforehand should eliminate any concerns. I, fortunately, did not encounter any reaction to it, and I would describe my skin type as normal/combination, which was previously quite sensitive.

After removing the mask gently with the enclosed face cloth, I rinsed off any excess with warm water. My face felt cleansed and refreshed, as a well as a lot healthier. After drying my face off, it is then recommended to follow with the Radiance Perfection serum.

Worthy of Purchase?

I enjoyed using this mask, and am keen to purchase it as an additional third step after my deep cleansing clay & moisturising masks. It is intended to be used once a week, which would fit in great for any Sunday Pamper sessions!

REN Radiance Perfection Serum

The Claim

REN describe this serum as:

“A multi active serum formulated to reboot the skin’s energy cycle, visibly perfect skin tone and leave skin looking energised, radiant and luminous.”

It contains, amongst other extracts; Hyaluronic Acid. Anything containing Hyaluronic Acid is alright by me..! It is the best ingredient for plumping up the skin and making your moisturiser more effective.

The Reality

This serum had an equally pleasant, fruity scent. It packs a punch without needing to use a lot of product, so it is perhaps a worthy investment!

Following on from the Glycolactic mask, I smoothed this over my face and let it sink in before I applied my regular moisturiser. After using it, I instantly realised how brightened and glowing my face appeared. And, on closer inspection, my skin felt smoother, plumper and more balanced out (a pro for combination skin!). I actually went out shopping later on with barely any make-up on because I didn’t feel the need to perk my skin up any more.

Worthy of Purchase?

The Hyaluronic Acid extract seals it for me, and I will hopefully be making this serum a part of my daily skincare regime. It can be used morning and/or night, and would make a lovely purchase in the Winter months when your skin is looking particularly dull and dehydrated.

Thanks again to the Pure Spa team!”
