Skin Academy - Pure Range

While there are many paraben, sulphate and cruelty beauty products out in the market, there aren’t many skincare brands that are both colour and fragrance free. For The Amazing Blog readers that have a sensitive skin, we have found an entire skincare range that is free from any irritating chemicals and scents. Manchester-based beauty brand Skin Academy has developed the six-product Pure range that leaves your skin feeling replenished and nourished - all at an affordable price.

Skin Academy’s Pure range contains products for every step in your skincare routine and that are great for all-skin types. The range contains a Cleansing Facial Scrub, Cleansing Facial Wash, Moisturising Eye Cream, Daily Moisturiser, Cleansing Micellar Water and two Soothing Sheet Masks. All six products contain two key non-irritants: Aloe vera and green tea extract, that soothe, cool and protect the skin. Skin Academy prides itself on offering ‘incredibly high quality skincare at extremely affordable prices’ and after trying the Pure range first hand, we can completely recommend their products for anyone who is looking for a brand that is gentle to your skin and kind to your wallet.

The first product of the line, the Cleansing Facial Wash is gentle cleanse for everyday use that provides great results.  In addition to cleansing the skin, this gel-based facial wash can remove all make up as well.  If you want something more exfoliating, the Pure Cleansing Facial Scrub removes any dead skin or impurities to reveal smoother skin. Since the facial scrub is a little harsher, Skin Academy recommends only using this scrub for a maximum of twice a week.  After cleansing the skin with the wash or the scrub, apply a thin layer of the Daily Moisturiser to your face and neck. In addition to the aloe vera and green tea extract, the moisturiser contains Glycerin, Shea Butter, Pro-Vitamin B5 and even SPF 15 and UVA-UVB filters that work together to moisturise and protect skin from any sun damage.  Next, the application of their Moisturising Eye Cream which soothes any puffiness while hydrating the skin around the eyes. After those long days that leave you too exhausted to do your full skin care routine, the Pure Cleansing Micellar Water is the perfect solution to do a ‘one swipe’ to remove the day’s makeup and grime, while softening the skin in the process.   The last product of the range doesn’t need to be used daily, the set of two Pure Soothing Sheet Masks are a great pick-me-up to lock-in moisture and leave you feeling pampered.  After removal of the mask after 20 to 30 minutes, the Soothing Sheet Mask leaves your skin feeling glowing and fresh without the added redness.

If you’re wanting to pamper your skin but not wanting to break the bank in the process, Skin Academy’s Pure Range is available to purchase here products price range is from £4 - £14 each.

Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser

blog When looking for a new exfoliating foaming cleanser I wanted something that was a bit on the fruitier side, so I asked one of my beauty expert friends what she would recommend. Without hesitation she recommend Suki Exfoliating Foaming Cleanser - my skincare routine may now be changed forever. As all our readers know, we here at The Amazing Blog are bona fide product junkies who love to try everything and after trying Suki it clearly stood out from traditional products.

The Suki Cleanser cannot only be used in one or two different ways, but three! I was instantly hooked. This foaming cleanser has a strong lemon scent to it and when I gently rubbed it on my face; the combination of sugars and water intensified the exfoliation of my skin. The second way that I could use this scrub, is as a direct exfoliator on the skin without the use of water. I only use this when I have had a tough and grimy day; usually after an intense run or workout to really clear my pores. Lastly you can also use this exfoliating cleanser as a mask to kill all redness in your face and inflammation. After around ten minutes, it leaves my skin glowing, smooth, and soft! What makes this skin exfoliater so unique is the deep cleansing alpha hydroxyl acid, which is all natural sugar and has a touch of citric acid – which gives off the lemon scent.

I would highly suggest the Suki Exfoliating Foaming cleanser to anyone looking for a new facial routine. This 3 in 1 foaming cleanser really does the trick for all skin types and skin care regimes. Why not start a new skincare routine with this brilliant multi-purpose  Suki Exfoliating Foaming Cleanser and for only  £22.
