Acai Berry

Superberry Serum by Scienea

Superberry and Serum are two words we at The Amazing Blog love, so Scienea’s new Superberry Repair and Restore Face Serum rocketed to the top of our must wish list. We're always interested in brands like Scienea who are passionate about using only the finest natural ingredients to create great products that work. Even better if like Scienea, their products are manufactured in the UK and are clinically tested (but not on animals).

The Superberry Serum was full as skin nutrition as we thought it would be. It contains eleven clinically proven natural ingredients which helped to improve our skin’s elasticity as well as smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It is also anti-inflammatory and deeply penetrating boosting the skin's natural defences. The Superberry Serum contains acai berry, blackberry extract and primrose oil, so it is packed full of anti-oxidants. This means that not only will it smooth out wrinkles, but it will also make skin appear brighter and more hydrated. All of which make this mighty little bottle a winner in our eyes.

You can purchase the Superberry Serum here for £30.00

PAYOT My Payot Masque Intensive Radiance Mask

Whenever I have a fancy dinner or going out with my friends for a big night out (this is more likely to happen), I love taking my time to get ready – I lock myself in the bathroom and let the ritual begin. When it comes to skin, I want it to look healthy and glowy – I don’t tend to wear heavy coverage base products at all, I prefer packing good skincare onto my skin and use little make-up. One of the products that I’ve added to my routine quite recently and that has quickly become one of my favourites is the PAYOT My Payot Masque Intensive Radiance Mask. An orangy gel-based mask that leaves my skin feeling fresh and radiant. PAYOT have launched My Payot, a new range of products with Superfruits extracts: Goji Berry, that protects the skin from free radicals and stimulates cells’ energy; and Acai Berries, rich in plyphenols that stimulate blood circulation to reactivate skin’s radiance. Each formula of the My Payot range contains an extract of Active Bifidus that reinforces the natural defences against external aggressions. Whenever I removed the mask after 10 minutes, my skin was soothed, feeling fresh and very soft – my make-up was applied beautifully afterwards.

PAYOT describe this radiance boosting mask as the “revitalising care for the day-after-the-night-before”, and at The Amazing Blog we couldn’t agree more. Whether you’re about to go out, or feeling tired after a big night, My Payot Intensive Radiance Mask works making your skin look healthy and boosting its energy - I've found that applying it once a week is enough for my skin to see the results.

My Payot Intensive Radiance Mask retails at £22.50. In order to find a PAYOT stockist in your area, visit their official website for more information.

 

Is this the Elixir of Eternal Youth?

They say beauty starts from the inside out – so there’s no greater way to begin than by feeding your cells by drinking a new powder combination of 100% ethically sourced natural marine collagen that’s found in fish and acai berry superfoods….it’s called Collagen Shots.  It is generally recognised that by the age of 45, our collagen levels drop significantly and the skin starts sagging and is less resilient. It is thought that this deterioration is directly linked to specific amino acids which decrease with both age and bad diet.  What most people don’t realise is that collagen drinks have for many years been a regular tipple with both the Japanese and Asian communities, which is probably why they always seem to age so well!

So for the past month, I have been religiously trialling the new Collagen Shots. I like to mix it with Cranberry juice as I found the powder a little too over-sucrosed for my taste (I’m a savoury not a sweetie girl) - you can also dilute it down with water. I would definitely say that my skin now passes the pinch test (you know - where you pinch it and see how long it takes to bounce back) which means I’m more rehydrated. I've also noticed that my skin is ever so slightly softer. But let's not  forget all the other benefits these Collagen Shots offer, with their marine collagen which is noted for helping joint mobility too. However, for optimum results I’m advised that 12 weeks is the average to really notice the difference. Could this be the answer to every self-respecting 40 something females’ prayers? I think that Collagen Shots are destined to become part of our nightly regime and if I’m getting visible results after just one month – I can’t wait to see what 12 weeks’ worth of product will do.

It's just £30 for a monthly supply of Collagen Shots and remember you read it on The Amazing Blog first!

Organic Burst

Summer seems to be fast approaching and if you are anything like me you are still struggling to achieve that perfect bikini body. No matter how healthy you try to eat or how often you go to the gym, your body is insistent on holding onto those pesky extra pounds. I have constantly struggled to find something that would help me lose that last bit of weight that is always the hardest. Thankfully, my coworkers at The Amazing Blog introduced me to the Organic Burst Acai Berry Capsules.

Organic Burst Acai Berry Capsules are a completely organic supplement to one’s diet. I have been using them for a few weeks now and I have certainly noticed a difference in myself. While I had initially hoped they would have an influence on my weight loss programme, I did not realize how many other areas these capsules would benefit. Since I have begun taking two capsules in the morning and two at night I have noticed that my skin has improved and is much more clear and moisturized than ever before. My energy levels have also increased and I am not as lethargic during long work days as I once found myself to be ever since I started with the Acai Berry capsules. What's more, the capsules are filled with antioxidants and contain large amounts of Vitamin E which prevent premature ageing of both skin and organs.

I was interested to learn that the use of Acai berries started in the Brazilians’ diet centuries ago since they are high in dietary fibre and are a natural source of Omega-3. Organic Burst picks all their acai berries locally  and the vegan capsules are 100% pure and not an extract. In addition, there are never any harmful pesticides or chemicals used during their farming or production which ensures that they are organic and very healthy (this is what made the Organic Burst brand of acai berry capsules more appealing to us at The Amazing Blog compared to others on the market). All in all, I have been thrilled with the results of the capsules and do not plan to stop using them any time soon. For £18.90, you can purchase a 90 capsule bottle on their website here and be on your way to not only the perfect swimsuit shape but also a much healthier body inside and out!
