Calling Sun Goddesses

It can be a bit of a palaver applying your favourite moisturiser and then having to pile on some UV protection on top.

Thankfully we’re proud stockists of sun goddess favourite Chocolate Sun whose range of tan enhancers and face illuminators keep the brownest of babes happy all year round.

They offer a fantastic UV protective moisturiser that gives skin the care it needs to feel properly hydrated without a duel layer of intensive moisterising cream AND sun protection.

The fresh and summery marigold is a great anti-inflammatory and the use of green tea extract gives suppleness to the skin 20 times stronger than vitamin e. I’ll admit I am a little obsessed with this range (the smell, the quality, the effect...) but this is no over estimation. As our most popular summer seller this stuff comes with a top recommendation.

Summer Hair Saviour

Festival lovers RELAX. We have raved about this hair powder many a time over at Puresha but with the outdoor living season underway we thought we’d put it in the spot light once more.

Lulu Organics takes the panic out of a weekend without washing your hair, and keeps full fringes looking sassy and grease free all weekend. And the best bit? It is toxic free and safe for the environment, so not only will you keep your carbon footprint down while your living in a tent you can keep your eco-ncious satisfied. It also smells divine and is packed full of essential oils.

Take an Organic Approach to your Daily Shave with Skinnyskinny

So we’ve spent all this time and effort exfoliating and moisturising our skin only to be attacked by a stubbly man rubbing his face against ours under the pretence of affection, leaving behind pink and blotchy cheeks and a shaving rash on our necks.

Now I know that it can be a drag to shave but with skinnyskinny basil and mint organic shaving soap this chore becomes a refreshing pleasure, and you can lather up and shower while you shave.

The shaving soap combines mint and surprisingly basil which acts as a soother and calms irritable itchy skin. Instead of tight and drawn skin – the typical symptoms soap leaves behind – aloe and tea tree relax the skin and leave it soft and silky after the cream has been washed away. And it smells great so ladies will love it too!

Moisture Must Have

During the summer months we don’t want heavy moisturisers that lie thickly on the skin, but light and delicate lotions that provide all the moisture we need for dry and thirsty skin, without the greasy excess. Chocolate Sun Ultra Lite Facial Moisturiser gives just that. With its high dose of green tea extract the power of plants work to anti oxidise while Marigold sooths and hydrates. This is the perfect pot for summer essentials and the handy tin makes it a great mobile moisturiser for handbags this season.

Duchess Marvellous

We all have our own body hang ups, certain angles of our faces we don’t like, areas of our bodies we try to hide. My biggie is my neck. Whenever a camera gets pointed in my face I get paranoid about the angle and whether my neck has begun to sag already. I remember a neighbour of mine as a child, she had a really saggy neck and when she’d kneel down to say hello to me I’d hide in my mother’s skirts, frightened by her enormous jowls.

This is why I make sure I moisturise really well to try to keep my neck supple and firm and fight the signs of the sag. The neck is constantly exposed and has thin and delicate skin which is often overlooked in beauty regimes. I’d recommend Duchess Marden Neck and Décolleté Serum which stimulates collagen in your skin to promote firmness and rehydration in tired worn out skin.

Home from Home with Organic Candles

Whenever we leave our homes and whether it is for days or weeks, there are things we all miss. Certain smells that bring us back home and help us to relax and feel comfortable. And that is why at Puresha we stock some fantastic organic candles to help you do just that, relax.

tin of travel candles, infused with the relaxing essential oils of vetivert, lavender
and chamomile, combines neat and easily portable practicality with intense aromas to help promote peacefulness and inner calm.

At Puresha we love all of our products and even though we shouldn’t really have favourites, sometimes you can’t help adoring one just that little bit more than the rest. Chocolate Sun's Cocoa Fleur Massage Candle is the candle of all candles. Made with organic honey, apricot kernel and coconut oils, it produces a warm soy wax oil as it burns which can be used in massage and as a moisturiser for the ultimate in indulgent relaxation.

Treat your skin delicately with Chocolate Sun

So many facial products strip the skin of their natural oils and leave behind dry and irritated skin which can often be red, sore and blotchy.

Thankfully, at Puresha we’re mad about Chocolate Sun who use only the gentlest organic ingredients to produce some superb results. Chocolate Sun Echinacea Facial Wash contains Calendula, known for its healing and analgesic properties, and Echinacea, also known to be healing and antibacterial. This gentle creamy facial wash contains no drying agents which can leave skin feeling tight and uncomfortable after cleansing. Lather up and enjoy.
