Nairian - Micellar Rose Water and Cleanser

As fellow skincare fans will know, we’re always on the hunt for new cleansers and micellar waters to help maintain a clear skin. This is something we’ve all struggled with for a long time, because most products either provoke dryness or produce oils in excess, leaving our skin sticky or worse, clogging our pores. Finding products that are powerful and effective but also soft and kind to our skin is a challenge. At The Amazing Blog, we have discovered a new brand Nairian who we’ve heard lots of good things about. What’s more they produce an effective Micellar Rose Water and Cleanser which we couldn’t be more excited about.

Nairian is an Armenian family-based business that always has two priorities: Your skin and the planet. Armenia is a small country in Eastern Europe where the soil mainly comes from volcanoes, therefore it is incredibly rich in nutrients. Nairian sustainably harvest their ingredients in these local lands, on the slope of Mount Ara. They use principles of aromatherapy to make all their products which are cruelty, paraben, sulphates, synthetic fragrances and chemical-free. Nairian puts quality and sustainability at the core of the business and by growing all their products organically, where they are handcrafted and plant-based. They also monitor the production process from seed to bottle, in order to deliver the very best in top-quality products.

Let’s start with the Nairian Cleanser which is a delicately fragranced, gentle soap-free formula made with calendula flower and essential oils. It cleanses, calms and brightens both the skin and mind, as you inhale its flowery and zesty fragrance. Containing sunflower seed oil, citrus peel and rose geranium all of which have antibacterial properties among others, it soothes our redness and inflammation whilst maintaining our skin’s natural moisture.  The Nairian Cleanser is suitable for all skin types and is highly recommended to use on acne-prone, dry or mature skin. To make the most of it, use only two pumps and gently massage your face. To remove it, use a damp cloth and repeat the process morning and night. Ideally, follow it with your toner (i.e. Nairian Micella Water for optimal results) and a moisturiser of your own preference.

For us finding micellar waters and cleansers that do not irritate the skin has been a bit of a mission. Nairian Micellar Rose Water is gentle but also capable of deeply removing pollution and grime. Mainly composed with rose water, this micellar will not only cleanses but it also soothes and calms any inflammation. It also contains a hint of rose essential oil which spreads antioxidants throughout the skin, protecting it from day-to-day pollutants as well as preventing ageing. The Nairian Micellar Rose Water is suitable for all skins and its dash of glycerine, finds the perfect balance between oily and dry, giving you a soft and hydrated face. Wet a cotton pad and apply it onto your skin in an upward motion to fully activate all the ingredients.

We’ve added these two Nairian cleansers to our must-have list, we think once tried, you will too. With countless benefits, the Micellar Rose Water and their Cleanser leave your skin like never before. If this sounds like something you need, you can get your 200ml Micellar Rose Water for £28 here and the 100ml Cleanser for £28 here .

Here at the Amazing Blog HQ, we're a little bit obsessed with nails. On any given day one pair of hands might be adorned with leopard print nail wraps, another sporting a french manicure, a third donning short, square nails and a pillar-box red shade. However, having a fairly hands-on job, what with the typing, the answering of phones, and, of course, the handling of all our lovely samples, it's never long before said nails start to chip. Which, I'm sure most will agree, is never a good look!

Picking at chipping nail polish is oh-so-tempting, but it's a bad beauty habit that's easy to do without even realising it. Unfortunately, as with all bad habits it has consequences: weak, brittle nails in need of some serious TLC. And with the majority of nail-polish removers on the market being laden with man-made chemicals, dehydrated nails can often be an unhappy outcome for nail-junkies like ourselves.

Thankfully, the crew at The Amazing Blog recently stumbled across the answer to our prayers - Fresh Therapies Eden Natural Nail Polish Remover. Unlike many of its competitors, it does not damage the natural oil within nails which is the main cause for leaving them weak, dry and brittle. Full of natural ingredients and vegetable derivatives, Eden Natural Nail Polish Remover actually moisturises the nail and its surrounding cuticle and with a fragrant smell and no artificial acetones, there certainly won't be any lingering reminders of nail polish remover!
