Relax, Revive and Re-energise

Do you look at PURE’s extensive treatment menu and not know which treatments to choose? This month PURE is offering Spa Taster Treatments half price!

Coming for a Spa Taster is the perfect way to ‘taste’ our spa treatments as they are 25 minute therapies. You can also tailor your treatment by choosing a few spa tasters that appeal to you. Spoiling you further, the second spa taster treatment is only £20 if taken on the same day.

On arrival you will be escorted to the change rooms where you slip into a fluffy gown and slippers. Our spa treatments are enjoyed in a tranquil spa environment where you can come take time out for yourself or enjoy the experience with others you know. Soft candle-lit lighting and calming spa music will set the atmosphere. Complementary refreshments are served and you can enjoy our hydrotherapy at an additional cost. Unique to PURE, a foot treatment is enjoyed with every spa treatment.

So now to know which ones to choose…

Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow is an invigorating full body exfoliation that makes your skin feel like silk.

If your muscles feel stiff and constricted, come for a Back Massage. If desired, the massage can incorporate heat through the use of hot stones or herbal compresses that are used for Thai Bundle.

Indian Head Massage involves eastern massage techniques incorporating pressure points as the scalp, face and shoulders are massaged.

Reflexology involves massaging pressure points in the feet that help to remove toxins and open energy channels in the body.

Hopi ear candles is a treatment that creates a ‘massage-like effect’ on the eardrum that balances the pressure in the ears and sinuses and helps relieve earache, headaches and ear noise.

If your skin feels like it needs a boost, the Elemis Spa Facial is a hydrating mini-facial that will leave your skin radiant.

If your hands or feet are in need of nourishment, enjoy the Indulgent Hand or Foot Treatment, a nourishing skin treatment in which the skin is exfoliated and wrapped up in warm paraffin wax.

We look forward to pampering you at PURE! Book here.

Let your tensions sweat away…

Come and escape to our Infra-Red Cabins and enjoy the solitude or experience it with others. It is a treatment worth having before being pampered with a spa treatment as it will enhance your treatment benefits further.

Our saunas use infra-red radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the body as opposed to traditional saunas that heat the body indirectly through steam or air. As you enter the cabin with soft lighting and uplifting spa music, you will experience your body perspire and muscular tension loosening. The heat is absorbed deeply into your muscles which cause your heart to pump faster improving cardio-functioning. As the body perspires the body will release toxins, cleansing itself from all the harmful substances that we are exposed to everyday.

There are so many benefits of detoxifying the body through using a sauna! Used regularly your body’s cleansing system will improve, giving a more youthful skin. Subsequently, the body’s healing process will be faster, which will help to fight off ageing and skin conditions such as acne. The condition of cellulite will be improved and the body will burn off calories (make sure you drink a lot of water before and after the session). And that is not all; sauna sessions help to relieve stress and improve the body’s immune system. Amazing how many health benefits there are from a sauna session at PURE. It is warm in there though!

Coming out of the secluded sauna, a cool shower is welcomed with a glass of cold water…then the soft lazy chair in the spa awaits…. anticipate a deep state of relaxation and contentment.

Only £10 for a 30 minute infra-red sauna session at PURE.

Refresh Tired Eyes

Do your eyes look tired? Do you feel like you have tried every eye cream on the market and you haven’t seen any improvement?

The eye area has less layers of skin which is why it is more delicate and is often the first area to show signs on ageing. Using harsh products or being rough when removing eye make-up contributes to dehydration as well as fine lines. Fine lines are not the only concern as many suffer from dark circles and puffiness too. Dark circles and puffiness underneath the eyes could be symptoms of a medical condition, allergies, fatigue or inadequate nutrition. Using a cream around the eyes that is too heavy could also result in waking up with puffy eyes.

Dark circles and puffiness can be combated with REN Lipovector Smoothing Eye Cream. This light cooling gel uses Vitamin A to revive and brighten around the eye area, reducing fine lines and lifting the skin – an anti-ageing cream every women should have!

As the skin around your eyes is extremely delicate, the right technique should be used to apply this cream…

Take a small amount, typically a pea size and use your ring finger to massage under the eye area. Your ring finger has the softest pad on it and won’t drag the skin under your eye, avoiding further damage. Work the cream from the outside of the eye, inwards to the bridge of your nose to follow the direction of the muscle. Do not drag the skin, instead pat the cream so it absorbs without stretching the skin.

Use it day and night and notice the difference!

REN Eye Cream (£26) can be purchased at our Spa Shop today.

PURE Body Sculpting Wrap is back!

PURE is proud to announce that our effective slimming treatment is back and even better!

Uniquely formulated it contains stimulating ingredients such as caffeine which aids in the detoxifying process, increasing the body’s metabolism which ultimately burns fat.

At PURE we believe in taking on a holistic approach and your therapist will advise on ways in which to do this after your first session.

Suffering From Holiday Sunburn?

Does your skin feel inflamed and tingly? A recent newspaper article I read stated that it’s a myth that you only need sun-block while in the direct sunshine as 80% of the sun’s rays can still pass through the clouds. In addition, it said that sunburnt skin takes ten to fourteen days to recover. Interesting.

At PURE we not only advice an SPF Factor to be applied daily but also recommend the Elemis SOS Emergency Cream if you have had too much sun. It is a soothing and hydrating cream that is just what a sunburnt skin craves. It contains an essential oil called Myrrh which is well-known for its healing properties. The cream is recommended to use daily and is especially beneficial to apply before bed as the skin regenerates itself while asleep.

We recommend the Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath for your body. It has a milk protein base that is rich in vitamins and minerals and is brilliant to soothe skin irritation and sensitivity. You can either use it for a relaxing bath or as a body moisturiser.

Elemis SOS Emergency Cream and the Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath are both available at PURE locations and our online shop.
