Kadria - Balancing Face Oil with Chia and Blackseed

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to discover new natural and vegan products, especially those that are suitable to sensitive skin. We couldn’t have been more happy to receive Kadria Balancing Face Oil, which is a natural safe therapy which helps to nourish, protect and restore your skin. Made from 100% vegetable derived ingredients, it’s the perfect way to treat sensitive skin.

One of the main ingredients in the Balancing Face Oil is Blackseed. This plant, that in Arabia is called ‘seeds of blessing’ or ‘habba sawda’, helps to keep the skin youthful and radiant with its rejuvenating properties. Another key ingredient for keeping your skin supple and youthful is Frankincense. An oil that comes from the gum or resin of the trees, it helps to improve the texture and elasticity of the skin. Finally the Rose Geranium, with its wonderful fresh scent, helps to relax and calm your mind.

All Kadria products are developed by an aromatherapy and massage practitioner who has combined her Anglo-Arabic roots with her knowledge of the scents of the orient to create a line of oils ideal for health and wellbeing. Moreover, all Kadria products are natural and kind to our bodies because they have been specifically designed for pregnancy and labour. If they’re safe enough for using during those special 9 months, then who are we to argue!

If you want to ‘pamper yourself with peace of mind’, you can buy the Kadria Oil here for £36.

MuLondon Organic Marigold, Frankincense & Myrrh Face Moisturiser

Who knew the wise men brought baby Jesus the perfect gifts to create a great moisturiser? We here at The Amazing Blog were lucky enough to stumble upon MuLondon’s The Organic Marigold, Frankincense & Myrrh Face Moisturiser.

Unlike most moisturisers, this product is not diluted with water. The company combined the perfect blend of organic Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, extracts of Marigold and Blue Chamomile, along with the essential oils of Frankincense and Myrrh to calm, balance and repair the skin. Together, the ingredients create an effective anti-inflammatory cream and produce oils that work wonders to repair your beloved skin. It’s no surprise it was a Bronze Award winner in the 2014 FreeFrom Skincare Awards in the Problem Skin category.

You can use this moisturiser anywhere on your body as either a day cream or night cream, but it is best to apply on moist skin. Although it is suited for dry and mature skin types, any skin in need of extra care or nutrients will benefit from this product. You can purchase it for £15 for 60ml at the MuLondon website.

Bodhi - Neroli Lucé Revitalising Face Oil

blog After a long day of work and commuting from Chelsea to North London, I always look forward to removing my make up and getting rid of the dirt from the tube. My evening skincare routine is the perfect remedy to remove my stress - who doesn't love a bit of pampering, huh? So when we at The Amazing Blog  received the Bodhi Neroli Lucé Revitalising Face Oil I was eager to give it a try. We were lucky enough to feature Bodhi last year on the blog so I had no doubt that Elijah Choo, the founder of this fabulous brand, had come up with another fantastic product.

Neroli Lucé is made of an exquisite blend of botanically derived oils. Hand crafted by Elijah himself, each oil is chosen with a specific purpose. Tunisian Neroli aims to revitalise and rebalance, while Frankincense and Sea Buckthorn oils rejuvenate and restore natural oils in your skin. Personally, I have always been a fan of Neroli oil's therapeutic properties as it regenerates skin cells, promotes soft skin, and helps to calm the nervous system.  Now combined with Frankincense and Sea Buckthorn, I found this facial oil to be hydrating without leaving a greasy feeling behind. Just one to two pumps were enough to leave my face feeling plump and glowy-looking. Due to the purity of each ingredient the smell is slightly overpowering at first; however, once the oil has been absorbed, the vibrant orange blossom aroma is quite refreshing and calming. This exquisite oil invites you to close your eyes and be taken away to a Mediterranean euphoria.

While it may seem a little pricey at £32 for a 15ml, this elegant and clever blend is worth every penny and available on their website.  Requiring only one or two pumps per use, it is sure to last you a while. With its unique blend of botanic oils, Bodhi Neroli Lucé Revitalising Face Oil is the key to restoring your skin back to that hydrated and radiant look we all love and aim to achieve.
