Feed your skin and hair with Pure+Simple
There was a snow storm raging outside yesterday, which means that whipping winds and extreme temperatures won’t be kind to the skin for those who live in Northern climates. This is THE perfect time of year to feed you skin- and that’s not just referring to the 8 glasses of recommended H2O a day. This dear readers, refers to the hydrating and refreshing natural products found at Pure+Simple Spas around Toronto, most of which are made with organic flowers, vegetables and oils.
Take for example the soothing, cooling and delightfully scented Calming Cucumber Mask. Better than slicing up a few rounds of the cooling cukes, this mask is a natural gel suitable for sensitive skin. It helps reduce inflammation and improves hydration (yours truly uses it all winter long!). The key here is the cooling cucumber extract and distillate that leaves your skin refreshed and dewy.
When too many late nights and rich treats leave skin dull, try the Cleansing Facial Scrub made with oat beta glucan. This is considered a wonderful natural moisturizer similar to hyaluronic acid that helps skin retain its moisture as well as protect against UV oxidized stress. Gentle, hydrating and helps get rid of dry or congested skin so you can look radiant all holiday long.
Your hair won’t be left out of the equation with the Organic Lemongrass Conditioning Shampoo and accompanying Intensive Moisture Conditioner. Both of these nutrient-rich products help hair shine and are suitable for all hair types. Proteins and panthenol with hydrating emollients such as sheabutter and babassu oil help revive even dull, thin hair. The conditioner quenches dry hair with proteins and vitamins as well as rainforest oils and jojoba oil. Soft and shiny tresses- the perfect accessory!
If all of that standing around has left your feet sore and tired, try the Peppermint Tea Tree Foot Balm (my salvation during a recent trip abroad where 10 hours a day were pretty much spent walking and admiring). Peppermint and sweet orange oil help soothe dry, tried feet and improve circulation while tea tree oil goes to work with its antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Perfect after a bath or shower coupled by a cozy pair of cotton socks to help your tired tootsies absorb all of that lovely cream so you can mix and mingle the night away.
For dry skin, the Rose Body Lotion with organic essential rose oil helps hydrate and calm the senses. Perfect for dry, sensitive winter-ravaged skin, ski bunnies or anyone looking to melt the stresses of the day with a little rose-scented reprieve.
And for you south-bound boys and girls who want to look like you’ve already had a week in the sun, there’s a Tanning Cream replete with mineral earth components that delivers a natural looking tanning while leaving skin feeling soft and silky.
