Spa & Product Review: Winter Skincare - Pure + Simple Wellness Spa

Updated: Dec 16, 2022

Pure + Simple Facial, Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Face Wash and Pure + Simple Soothe & Smooth Face Lotion


My latest spa visit was to Pure + Simple Wellness Spa. Their website describes it as an all-natural skincare and wellness spa for customers seeking products and services that are consistent with their healthy natural lifestyle.



Pure + Simple has a few locations across Ontario. I went to their Yorkville location in Toronto. I got the Pure + Simple Facial. It was a great experience that included a skin steamer and as a bonus, some needed skin advice. The Pure + Simple facial is their signature facial. On their website, it states that the facial delivers a complete experience that will leave your skin glowing & senses rejuvenated, and it can entirely be personalized to your own skin needs. While there I also bought some of their products. Stick around to find out how they worked for my skin.



Pure + Simple Facial: My First Impressions



My impression of their Pure + Simple facial is that it worked as advertised. It was a rejuvenating experience that left my skin glowing. It included an extraction, a soft facial scrub, and a face massage. It also included a face steam, which felt very calming and refreshing. There was also a wonderful aroma coming from the steam, which added to the calming effect of the whole experience. The technician also provided information about my skin and gave me tips for maintaining it.

Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Face Wash Review



They also recommended a few products for my skin. I know you're probably going to say I got suckered into buying more products. However, I did need the ones I got as I was completely out of all my favorite products after coming out of the pandemic slow-down. I am also admittedly kind of a sucker for skin products.


I have very sensitive skin which gets dry quite easily, especially in the winter. So, I got products from their sensitive skin line. I have been using their Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Face Wash for a few months and I must say I love it. The product is light and gel-like and goes on smooth to the skin. Even though it's a light, sensitive wash, my skin feels very clean afterward. I would definitely buy this product again.



Pure and Simple Sensitive Skin Exfoliant + Face Mask



I also bought their Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Exfoliant and Face Mask. I must admit that I don't use exfoliants as often as I probably should, and the ones that I have used were possibly causing more harm than good to my skin. This I learned from the technician in our session. We all have various skin issues, so we need to know our skin type and the products that work for it.

The Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Exfoliant and Face Mask did not feel harsh like the exfoliants I have used before. It also did not leave my skin feeling dry. It was creamy and had small grains in it for a light gentle scrub. What I didn't like about it though, is that after using it and rinsing my face multiple times, my skin still did not feel clean. It felt like there was a residue left behind on it and I needed to wash my face again with a cleanser to get it clean. I didn't like that, but as mentioned, I had run out of my usual facial products, so I still used the product until it was done. I just might not re-purchase in the future.


Pure + Simple Soothe & Smooth Face Lotion


The three main steps involved in healthy skin care are cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. So, it's only fitting that the third and final product I got was the Pure + Simple Soothe & Smooth Face Lotion since the first two were for cleansing and exfoliating. The Pure + Simple Soothe & Smooth Face Lotion is a cream and I like cream moisturizers. It wasn't greasy and it didn't leave my skin shiny. My face also felt very moisturized after using it, which is the main purpose of a good moisturizer. This is another one of their products that I would certainly re-purchase.


Conclusion


So, to sum up, the experience I had at Pure + Simple Wellness Spa was a good one. I loved the facial and would go again for another one, or even try out some of their other services as well.

I bought three of their products, Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Face Wash, Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Exfoliant and Face Mask, and Pure + Simple Soothe & Smooth Face Lotion. Of the three, I liked two of them very much, the Pure + Simple Sensitive Skin Face Wash and the

Pure + Simple Soothe & Smooth Face Lotion, which I will purchase again. So overall I would give this spa a thumbs up.
