May’s Spa Offer: Summer Slimming Wrap

Have you booked your Summer holiday yet? Putting of the swimwear shopping  for as long as possible? We know shedding the layers for Summer can sometimes be a little daunting which is why we’ve put together this fantastic Summer Slimming Package for May. Arriving just in time for holiday prep, the package aims to smooth skin, burn calories, reduce inches and detox both body and mind so you’ll be left feeling revitalised and confident in your skin.

The package includes:
Infra Red Sauna
Your treatment will begin in our Infra Red Sauna which will not only allow you to relax and unwind but also start the detoxification process, stimulating blood circulation which will optimise the benefit of your wrap and massage treatments. The sauna can also burn up to 800 calories in one session so its perfect as part of a weight loss regime.

Slim Cell Wrap Treatment
Exclusively available at PURE in the UK, the Slim Cell treatment is specifically designed to stimulate the burning oftriglycerides and blood circulation to drain toxins from the body. This treatment is then combined with bandage wraps to further encourage drainage to leave skin tightened and smoothe with some possible inch loss from the treated area.

Detox Massage
Whilst the wrap is left to develop, you will be treated to a detox massage to further stimulate body detox and allow you to relax and unwind. You’ll have a full consultation with your therapist before your treatment which will allow you to discuss any particular areas of stress and strain that you’d like to concentrate on.

As part of this exclusive offer, you will also enjoy the full spa experience. You’ll get comfy in robe & slippers before entering our Relax Room, a haven of tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Your treatment experience will then begin with a PURE Spa Foot Ritual and chat with your therapist in your treatment room, so you can begin to relax and unwind and let us know exactly what you like and what you don’t, meaning that the treatment will be perfect for you. You’ll then relax and unwind throughout your treatment, before returning to the Spa Relax Room so you can continue your relaxation experience and make the most of the benefits of your treatment.

This offer is valid at our three convenient Spa locations across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen or alternatively you can visit our Edinburgh city centre location PURE Lothian Road and enjoy the treatment without the infra red sauna and relaxation room for just £52. Whichever location you choose, our brilliantly trained and experienced therapists are on hand to make sure you get the perfect experience for you, whatever your treatment and we’ll make sure we give you the very best in service, treatments and products, as always.

Can’t wait to get your body sorted for Summer? The package is available to book or buy as a gift voucher throughout May at PURE Spa.

Don’t forget, we’re always on hand at PURE Blog or on our Facebook and Twitter pages to answer any questions you may have about our treatments or even for some extra advice on all things beauty and spa related!

 

Fashion Fridays: Steal Kate Middleton’s Style

12 months since we all watched Kate and William get married and managed to get swept away in the excitement of it all. Ever since it seems we’ve watched closely as Kate has worn a variety of outfits from both high end designers and high street favourites. So in celebration of their anniversary, here’s how to steal Kate’s style. In particular, her outfit from the day after her wedding…

Dress & Blazer: Mango. Belt: Next. Shoes: LK Bennett

We bet you remember this outfit? Everyone went mad when Kate chose to wear this Zara dress the day after her big day. Surprise, surprise, it’s totally sold out now but this Mango dress is a great look alike. Chiffon gentle tailoring is the perfect way to flatter any figure and adding a cropped blazer adds to the look while still showing off a nipped in waist and the detail of the belt. Kate also had on her trusty LK Bennett Espadrille Wedges which she wore so much in the run up to her wedding that they became known as the ‘Kate.’ The good news is that the version we’ve chosen here is still available online at LK Bennett!

What do you think? Do you love Kate’s simple style or will you be choosing something a bit more exciting?

Spring Time Essentials from PURE Spa

 We might all have thought Summer had arrived in March but as suspected the good weather was short lived and now here we are in a funny old transitional period between seasons. With Spring well and truly on the way, we thought we’d recommend our essential bits and pieces to get you through…

1. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel
A magical non granular exfoliator, this creamy peel is packed full of active fruit ingredients that eat away at dead skin cells leaving your skin refreshed and brightened. It’s perfect for more dry or sensitive skins that may find usual exfoliators a little too harsh on the skin and is the ideal way to get rid of weather beaten winter skin to reveal a fresh new complexion for Spring. Plus, it’s fruity indulgent scent makes us think of cocktails and beaches which we think is just perfect for this time of year!

 2. Elemis Sharp Shower Wash
There’s something about the lighter mornings that makes getting up in time for work just that little bit easier and Elemis’ Sharp Shower makes the perfect acompaniment to those slightly more bareable mornings. This beautifully scented wash not only lathers up for the perfect morning scrub but will also awaken the senses with spearmint, peppermint, nettle and wild marjoram leaving the skin tingling and mind refreshed. What better way to start a sunny Spring morning?

3. Mac
So your winter coat has be stowed away but you’re not quite ready to skip to work arms bared and blazer in hand? A Mac is the perfect solution! It’ll keep the Spring chill at bay, can be layered easily and goes with both smart and casual outfit so you might just find you’re never without yours. This lovely tan number is from Topshop but with everyone on the high street stocking different macs, it’s easy to find one suited to your style!

4. Ballet Flats
Just like your winter coat, Spring is the time to stow away your cosy boots in favour of something a little more free! Ballet flats are comfy enough to wear throughout the day and with a huge range of styles, they can be matched to every outfit. We love this pair from Zara in this lovely Spring nude colour. The point makes them a little more smart than your average pair and the colour will go with everything.

5. Spa Ritual Polish in Bon Appetit
If the sky is looking a little on the grey side to be whipping out your colourful floral dress but you’re desperate to get away from the greys and blacks of winter, nail colour is the perfect answer! Experimenting with brighter colours is the perfect way to start to introduce colour back into your wardrobe without looking ott. It’s also great throughout the season for those of you who aren’t the biggest fans of bright colour. We love this reddish pink from Spa Ritual- it’s the perfect sophisticated pink!

All About Eyes

With the dark winter months fading away and longer days ahead, thoughts turn to Spring and shedding the layers of knits and scarves. The same should also be done for your skin with the season change with dry winter layers of skin shed to reveal a bright new complexion for Spring. Key to a bright complexion is the eye area with dark and puffy under-eyes easily drawing away from a natural glow. Here are our top tips for banishing under eye problems this Spring…

1. Our April Revive Face & Body package includes a special Elemis Eye Treatment with silk compresses applied to the eyes during your facial to soothe and treat the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. What’s more, with the package also including a massage and Elemis facial, your eyes will benefit from the entire relaxation experience and high quality Elemis products.
Available throughout April, the package is priced from £40, with savings of up to 50%! Find out more Here, Book Online Now or Buy a Voucher for the package, valid for 10 months! 

2. Ask your therapist about our wide range of specialist eye products which allow you to continue your eye care routine at home. With the very best in skincare from partner brands REN and Elemis. PURE Spa Digital Media Exec, Rachelle, loves REN’s Active 7 Eye Gel to reawaken and refresh eyes throughout the day as she told us all about in her recent Skincare Routine blog post, also seeing a great difference in her dark circles. The PURE girls also love Elemis Absolute Eye Serum which is packed full of natural ingredients such as rosewood, chamomile and lavender to visibly reduce dark circles. With a wide range of products available, we have something for everyone at PURE so pop in and have a chat and we’ll find the best product for you. Alternatively, you can browse our wide range of eye products online now on PURE Spa Shop

3. Lyn, Salon Manager at PURE Lothian Road recommends storing your eye gel in the fridge. She says “This will cool the gel and refresh the eyes more when you apply it.” Another great tip is to carry your eye gel with you throughout the day, leaving it on your desk or in a place that will remind you to keep reapplying throughout the day. It not only increases the effect of the product but will also refresh your eyes as you work.

4. For a pampering eye treat, apply your choice of face mask and dampen two cotton pads with your favourite toner (we love Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner) and pop them on your eyes, relaxing for 10 minutes. This will give your eyes a boost, soothe the effects of a long day and target dark circles.

So there we have it, some great tips to help you give your eyes a boost in time for Spring. Do you have any top eyecare tips? We’d love to hear them! Simply leave us a comment below or leave us a Facebook or Twitter comment. We might even have a little prize for our favourites!
