Your Guide To Moisturizers & Oils For Ultimate Hydration

During the cold winter months, our thirsty skin often craves extra nourishment and moisturization. With so many products that promise hydrated and glowing skin, it can feel overwhelming. Oftentimes, it’s difficult to know which type of products will offer both relief and results. At PURA, we regularly hear these types of questions: Do I use a cream or an oil or both? Can I mix the two or do I layer these products? What do you suggest for my skin type?. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of moisturizers vs. oils and why we suggest a combination of both to keep your skin healthy and hydrated especially during the driest seasons of the year.

PURA's October 2022 Muse - Mamas for Mamas Marcie Peterson

At PURA, we were first drawn to Mamas for Mamas through our involvement in last summer’s Jilly Box. As mother’s ourselves, we were immediately inspired by their mission - to create a community without barriers to raising happy, healthy children. Founded in Kelowna, it is only recently that an Edmonton chapter was formed. Once we met Marcie from Mamas For Mamas Edmonton, we knew that we had to introduce her to YOU - our PURA community. May you be inspired and moved by Marcie’s enthusiasm, dedication, and how she was able to channel a time of personal grief into a legacy of beauty and significance with Mamas for Mamas.

Followed by a refreshing shower and a luxurious PURA body moisturizer, dry brushing may turn out to be your favourite ritual to get you out of bed in the morning (besides coffee, of course!).

Meghan is a healer, a lover of nature and animals and a self-described sensitive spirit that can find the world, at times, rather heavy.

PURA's Signature Soap, which debuted in December, is one of our most artful collaborations to date. Crafted by our friends at Wild Prairie Soap Company, the beauty is in every aspect of this hand poured soap.
