Facebook Competition Winner Update

It’s been a fair few weeks now since all the facebook competition madness and our winner, Louise, has been in for two of her treatment sessions already at Pure Spa Union Square. We caught up with her yesterday to see how things were going…

Union Square Pure Spa

So, you’ve never been to Pure Spa before, what did you think of the spa?
I really liked the decor and everything of the spa, the colours work really well and it makes a really relaxing atmosphere, too.

So you started with the infra red sauna, first..
It feels amazing and as soon as you get in the sauna you just feel every single one of your pores open and then all the sweat starts coming out, you can see how it can make you burn so many calories. I just felt so relaxed, when my therapist came to get me i was like ‘can you not leave me for a bit longer!’ I don’t like normal saunas with the steam and everything but this is much more comfortable, it’s hot but you could sit in there for a while and be comfortable.

And tell us all about your main prize, the wrap?
I have it on the tops of my legs and waist and i’m going to keep having it there to target it. When the wraps go on it actually feels really nice, you can actually feel them heating up on your body. Then i have a back massage while they work.

Have you noticed any difference?
Yes! When the treatment’s finished you can actually feel that the towels you’re lying on are soaking wet, i think with all the water and everything coming out so i knew that it had done something. We measured my waist and thighs and i’d lost 3 inches on my waist and 1 inch on each thigh in one treatment which was amazing! It’s not something i’d usually be aware of but when i put my dress on for work today it felt quite loose around that area so there’s definitely a noticeable difference already. I do a lot of exercise but that just seems to tone me up, not loose any weight so it’s really nice to get some inch loss.

And you went for the back massage option while the wraps were working…
I work in an office all day sitting at a desk so i knew that a massage would be a really great help for me. Tiffany the therapist was absolutely amazing, i don’t know how she does it but it was the best massage i’ve ever had an i can feel her loosening every one of my knots. It’s not sore either, i can feel the tension loosening and am aware of it but it’s not actually sore like some other massages i’ve had. I also notice a difference in how i feel afterwards compared to other massages, it’s not achey at all just nice and loose and relaxed which is exactly what i wanted.

So you liked your therapist?
Tiffany is absolutely lovely, she’s really intelligent and seems to know so much about everything, i genuinely think i could talk to her about anything and chat away all day. She’s really easy to talk to, too, it just feels like you’re chatting to your friend and it’s a good laugh. The other staff were great too, really friendly and helpful and everything.

It sounds like you’re really enjoying it and seeing some results, too!
Honestly it’s been amazing, when i left after my treatment i met my partner and he even commented on how relaxed i looked, i was just wondering about in my own wee world totally chilled out. I’m so excited to see how much i loose by the end of the course, too if i’ve lost so much already!

What a great update! It sounds like Louise is having a perfect Pure Spa experience which is just what we like to hear. It’s also brilliant to hear that Louise has already experienced some inch loss from our magic sculpting wrap…We’re off to book in for a course…

Thanks to Louise for updating us all, check back next week for even more updates and pictures from Louise herself!

What’s inside? Elemis Christmas Kits 2011: The Jewels of Elemis

It’s not even November yet and this year’s Elemis Christmas Kits are already flying off the Pure Spa shelves. Don’t worry though, we’ve made sure we’re totally prepared and still have lots available for those of you who aren’t quite organised enough to start your Christmas shopping in October or even those of you who fancy a kit for yourself. The thing is, there’s just so many amazing kits to choose from, so Pure Blog has decided to give a helping hand, taking a look at what’s inside each kit. Today, we’re starting with the kit of all kits: The Jewels of Elemis Pro-Collagen Collection.

The kit comes nestled neatly inside this gorgeous grey vanity case, big enough to be used as pretty storage for make up/body products in the home or as an easy travelling solution when you want all your products in the one place.

This kit offers everything you need for a full anti ageing pro-collagen skin care routine plus the added bonus of an Elemis body cream to make sure you’re feeling great top-to-toe.

Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser

This luxurious cream cleanser offers a beautifully creamy consistency for enjoyable cleansing, but don’t be fooled, it’s still wonderfully effective. With cell protecting Moringa Seed Peptides, balancing Great Burdock and anti-oxidising Noni and Assai Fruit it also offers a really deep clean to banish even the most stubborn of dirt and impurities and leaves behind great protection against everyday grime. Meanwhile, essential plant extracts aid the purification process while also richly moisturising dehydrated skin. Ultimately, you’ll be left with a clean and fresh moisturised, plump and radiant complexion with fine lines visibly reduced.

Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

Suitable for all skin types, this gel based moisturiser offers intense rehydration of the skin without feeling too heavy, while collagen provides a progressive lifting effect. Clinically proven, this moisturiser can increase moisture levels in the skin by 10% and reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by 19%. The ultimate in Elemis anti ageing!

Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream

The perfect night time accompaniment to the day time Marine Cream, this moisturiser is again suitable for all skin types and is clinically proven to increase oxygen levels in the skin by up to 41%, assisting in the skin’s natural regeneration process to maintain optimum skin conditions and help to avoid premature signs of ageing. Ultimately, this cream will leave you with a firmer, more radiant complexion while combating premature signs of ageing.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal

Specific targeting for signs of ageing around the eye area, this eye cream was 3 years in the making. Clinical trials have shown that after just 28 days use, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area was found to be visibly smoothed by up to 60% with 67% of volunteers experiencing a significant restructuring effect. Used with the kit’s pro-collagen cleanser, day cream and night cream this gives yet more protection and targeting to the signs of ageing.

Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules

The skin bliss capsules are a much talked about Elemis product. Suitable for all skin types, the pack contains 30 day and 30 evening capsules containing a specific serum to be applied daily. The pack acts as a course, dramatically detoxing polluted skin by removing deep set toxins and repairing the signs of ageing. After the course you will notice a huge change in your skin, with increased skin elasticity and youthfulness. The effects will last for up to 6 months so this is a great product to use following the party season at the beginning of the new year to detox as you begin your new elemis skin care routine with the other products in the kit.

Pro-Collagen Body Cream

As if a full skin care routine for your face wasn’t enough, Elemis haven’t forgotten the importance of body care with this pro collagen moisturiser. This luxuriously thick moisturiser smooths and hydrates the skin for a luminous and firmer looking body, the perfect addition to your glowing new facial complexion!
