Ingredient Spotlight: Coffee Cherry

May 16th, 2012 | Posted by Purity Cosmetics in Skin Care - (Comments Off)

With warm weather and summer right around the corner, you’re more frequently exposing our skin to the dangers of the sun and environmental damage. To protect your skin and repair any damage caused, use the Coffee Cherry Sun Damage Corrective Cream nightly. Packed full of skin beneficial ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamins, Green Coffee, Green Tea, and Coffee Cherry, this super nourishing moisturizer will restore your skin to be healthy, glowing, and youthful!

Coffee cherries are the fruits that grow on coffee plants, and the fruit from which we get coffee beans! Coffee cherry contains extremely high levels of antioxidants – called polyphenols – that when applied topically to the skin, help prevent and reverse any cellular damage. Studies have proven coffee cherry to significantly reduce signs of aging and improve skin redness and inflammation. When ingested, coffee cherry boosts our immune system.

The antioxidant capability of coffee cherry is 10 times greater than pomegranate and green tea – this means coffee cherry is more effective in protecting the skin from UVA damage, environmental damage like smoke and pollution, and inhibiting cancerous cells from producing or duplicating.

September 20th, 2011 | Posted by Purity Cosmetics in Skin Care - (1 Comments)

What is the purpose of a primer?
The main purpose of a primer is for long-lasting makeup application. Primers create a smooth, even surface by filling in any fine lines and wrinkles so that your makeup glides on and lasts all day long. A primer will help your tinted moisturizer or foundation apply more easily and look more natural, while controlling any excess shine or oil buildup.
Used alone, this primer will create an even skintone, diffuse the look of fine lines and wrinkles with its all-natural light reflective pigments to make skin instantly brighter, more luminous, and glowing.
Who should use it?
Anyone who wants their makeup to last longer, look flawless, and/or make their skin appear brighter and glowing should use a primer. Those with sensitive skin can use this primer because it contains gentle and nourishing ingredients for the skin without any harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances that can irritate skin.
Why should I use it?
This primer not only preps your skin for makeup, but has antiaging benefits as its infused with red wine resveratrol, vitamins and antioxidants to protect the skin against free radical damage that causes skin cancer, fine lines, sun spots, and age spots. This primer can also improve skin and protect you from breakouts because it creates a barrier between your skin and your makeup, allowing your skin to breathe.
How do I use it?
Apply a small amount all over clean, moisturized skin with clean fingers or a brush. If applying makeup over, allow primer to settle onto skin for a few minutes before proceeding.

Healing Benefits of Resveratrol

February 23rd, 2011 | Posted by Purity Cosmetics in Skin Care - (610 Comments)

Thanks to Resveratrol, every time you drink a glass of red wine, you are treating yourself to a healthy dose of antioxidants.  Found in the skins and seeds of grapes, Resveratrol is a compound produced by the plant to protect against oxidative damage caused by environmental stressors.  These stressors, known as free radicals, include UV rays, smoke,
pollution, pathogens and anything else that degrades cells through the process of oxidation which Red Wine Resveratrol protects us against.

Resveratrol is commonly found in wine

Studies have proven Resveratrol to prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer. By removing harmful oxidants from the body, Resveratrol stops the body’s inflammatory response and improves blood supply to cells therefore promotes overall bodily health.  When Resveratrol is applied directly to the skin, it has the same protective effects. By neutralizing free radicals, it reduces inflammation and protects skin cells against environmental stressors that damage and age the skin.

Finally hydrate and soften with the Red Wine Resveratrol Eye Cream and Red Wine Resveratrol Face Cream!

Clean Hands = Good Health

February 2nd, 2011 | Posted by Purity Cosmetics in Bath | Skin Care - (805 Comments)

Winter is the harbinger of runny noses, coughs and time spent in bed.  To avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of the flu and common cold this season, the Center for Disease Control praises hand washing as the simplest way to combat the spread of illness.

Washing Hands Important to Health

Washing Hands is Important to Health

We tend to catch colds more during winter because we spend more time in-doors with close contact to others, therefore increasing the opportunity for illnesses to spread.  Winter weather also provides the perfect environment for influenza to thrive because the virus survives longer on surfaces such as door knobs.  Decreased exposure to sunlight also increases the potential to become ill because we produce less vitamin D, a nutrient essential to proper immune system function.

The Center for Disease Control advocates hand washing as an effective way to prevent the spread of influenza and the common cold. Hand washing also combats the spread of other illnesses including Streph throat, hepatitis A, and Staph infections.  Neglecting proper hand washing also increases the transmission of food borne illnesses, including salmonella and E coli. By washing your hands frequently you help keep yourself and your community healthy.  Remember to always wash your hands after using the restroom, before eating, after going outside. In addition to frequent hand washing, regularly wipe down your computer keyboards, telephones, door knobs and other things frequently handled with paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

An Ode to Chocolate

January 26th, 2011 | Posted by Purity Cosmetics in Skin Care - (514 Comments)

An Ode to Chocolate

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it’s time we pay homage to one of the world’s oldest romance foods- Chocolate! Recent studies have confirmed what lovers have known for over 1500 years, that chocolate intensifies feelings of love.

Ancient Chocolate

Chocolate and the Ancient Maya

Dr. Lewis with the University of Sussex found that regions in the brain that activate during kissing remain engaged four times longer when couples kiss after consuming chocolate. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine and seratonin, substances that occur naturally in the brain and are released when we experience feelings of love and happiness. The fragrance of chocolate excites the taste buds and causes the brain to release endorphins, neurotransmitters often referred to as the “love chemical.”

Chocolate also contains the most potent group of antioxidants, phenols, the same antioxidant type present in red wine. Studies also suggest that flavonoids, the plant pigment present in chocolate, help to eliminate carcinogens in the body and inhibit mechanisms that cause cancer cells.

Remember chocolate this Valentine’s Day as a way to celebrate both love and health with your special someone!

Levels of Moisturizers

January 12th, 2011 | Posted by Purity Cosmetics in Skin Care - (827 Comments)

Different skin types require different levels of hydration and moisturization to reach and maintain its ideal moisture content of 15 – 20%.  Hydrating the skin increases its water content, whereas moisturizing increases levels of oil and essential fatty acids in the skin.  Maintaining moisture and hydration is critical to skin health, vitality, and physical appearance – the more moisture and hydration, the fewer lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity.  We can help retain the skin’s moisture content by applying the appropriate levels of moisturizers that cater to the unique needs of different skin types.

VERY OILY SKIN:  If you have very oily skin, all you need is a hydrating toner after cleansing to give your skin a drink of water.  If your skin already produces excess oil, you do not need an additional moisturizer.  However, it is always a good idea to use a hydrating eye cream like 100% Pure’s Cucumber Gel Eye Cream because the skin around our eyes do not produce much oil and need additional hydration.  For very oily skin, it is even recommended to use oil blotting sheets throughout the day to keep complexion refreshed.

100% Pure Oily Skin Collection

NORMAL TO OILY SKIN:  If you have normal to oily skin, you mostly need hydration and minimal surface moisture.  Moisturizers for normal to oily skin should absorb quickly, and have relatively low levels of oils and higher levels of water to hydrate skin cells while lightly conditioning the surface of the skin.

100% Pure Normal to Oily Collection

100% Pure Normal to Oily Collection

NORMAL TO DRY SKIN:  If you have normal to dry skin, you need equal amounts of water and oil to penetrate the layers of the skin as well as to moisturize the skin’s surface.  Normal to dry skin can especially benefit from regular exfoliation and using a richer cream that continually hydrates througout the day.  You may even opt for a richer night cream for additional moisturization.

100% Pure Normal to Dry Collection

DRY SKIN:  If you have dry skin, the priority is to intensely moisturize with lightweight serums that penetrate the skin to strengthen and firm from within, and to apply buttery facial creams to deeply moisturize.  It is also imperative that you exfoliate regularly.  Dry skin especially needs more surface moisture to soften lines and wrinkles so the moisturizer texture is a lot more rich and decadent.
