Summer therapy for you

 

Loving this summer weather, and with the intense rays I hope you’re all taking care of your skin. Protection is the key. Make sure your sunscreen has been well tested. Know what you are purchasing. It needs to be a broad sunscreen protecting you from harmful UVA and UVB rays. 

At Pure Essence we stock Skinnies sun block SPF30, recently tested independently by Consumer NZ and passed with flying colours! We also have DMK SPF50 which has passed strict Austrailian testing standards.

Along with protecting your skin it also needs moisture. Treat your body to summer therapy with a top to toe body treatment. We have an amazing body cocktail treatment – you will be scrubbed and all the dead skin will be removed, then beautiful oils are massaged into your thirsty skin leaving you feeling silky smoothe and totally relaxed. This treatment comes in three infusions: pina colada, mojito and cosmopolitan.

Don't forget your feet! We are so busy treating feet at the moment – everyone has dry summer feet. If you have the time to indulge in a 75 minute pedicure and you need layers removed, try a MediPedi with the Pure Fiji spa pedicure. This is what one of our clients had to say about it: “I have just come back from two weeks away camping and have ‘camp feet’, totally disgusting and had thick horrible skin on my heels. I had the Luxury MediPedi and Pure Fiji Spa. What a dream. Treatment to remove the dead skin was amazing especially since I have always been a fan of the scalpel. I came out feeling like I was walking on air. Totally recommend.”

Enjoy the sun, long may it last, look after yourself, make this year a great year – start it with goals of self care, relax and take in the beautiful place we live in.
