They say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, but at Pure Beauty we love that citrus zing in our beauty products.
We’ve had a look at some of the fabulous lotions and potions on our site that come bursting with lush lemons and we think you will like what you see.
If you need a little R&R, look no further than the Elemis Cellutox Active Body Oil. This blend of Sea Buckthorn, Sea Fennel, Lemon and Juniper essential oils nourishes, detoxifies, stimulates and can help ease the appearance of cellulite and combat toxins. Whether it is used as part of an anti-cellulite, body cleansing programme or a stand-alone treat in your bath, you really cannot go wrong with this oil.
If your skin is normal to oily, you might be interested in the Dermalogica Active Moist. This light weight, oil-free moisturiser sinks into the skin hydrating it, and preventing drying, ageing, moisture loss. Lemon, together with botanical astringents of Ivy, Watercress and Burdock help to refine the skin, while Silk Amino Acids smooth and improve texture. Finally, extracts of Lavender, Mallow and Cucumber provide deep hydration, and on reflection, we really do thing this is a pretty amazing cream.
You take a tonic for your health, so why not use one on your skin? The Decleor Aurabsolu Refreshing Mist is a specially created tonic that has been designed to refresh your skin. Salicylic Acid gently exfoliates and refines your skin’s texture, Mint Flower Water rejuvenates and a cocktail of essential oils, including Lemongrass, Thyme and Rosemary provide a divine aromatic scent. You can spray this onto your face and neck after cleansing, it can set make-up or you can simply use it for an invigorating burst of hydration during the day, on the run or as you travel.
If your skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, you might want to try the Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash. This gorgeous, foaming cleanser takes away impurities and dead skin thanks to Salicylic Acid and helps to prevent those annoying spots from coming back. Balm Mint, Eucalyptus and Tea Tree deal with bacteria and congestion, while Menthol and Camphor have been added to the mix to cool inflammation. The reason we have mentioned this product in our round-up, is because Lemon Peel Extract has been added to offer a natural source of Vitamin C which protects skin against damage and also acts as an anti-inflammatory.
We will let you into a secret, we really love the Elemis LIFE ELIXIRS Sleep Perfume Oil. If you are looking for something that will help to restore your mind and body, then you need this really relaxing blend of 13 pure essential oils in your life. Patchouli, Palmarosa and Elemi, which has a spicy, incense-like scent with notes of Lemon and Pine, come together to create a spa like perfume that is out of this world. If you want to switch off your mind and enjoy a deep, restful, restorative sleep, dab the oil onto your wrists, neck and temples and drift off to the land of slumber.
