Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, Peptide Eye Serum - Bea Skincare

It's important to have an effective skin care routine, not just to help make our skin as bright and soft as possible, but because our skin first and foremost works as a barrier to unwanted infections. That’s why at The Amazing Blog we constantly like to remind ourselves and our audience to find a good skincare routine that suits them. We were excited when the brand Bea Skincare sent us two of their products.

The first product we received was a Gentle exfoliating cleanser. Cleansing your face is an essential step in any skin care regime as it helps prevent a buildup of unwanted dead skin cells. Not cleansing your face leaves skin more prone to oiliness, dryness and dullness.  Bea’s new skincare range focuses on an efficient, high-quality beauty range that is non-irritating to the skin and simple to use.  It is recommended that you cleanse your skin daily, once in the morning and evening. Doing so will eliminate dead skin cells and dirt, without over-drying your face. This product uses beneficial ingredients such as green tea to treat your skin.

The next step is the Peptide Eye Serum. If you're self-conscious about your under eyes, then this is the product for you. Once your skin is cleansed, you can apply this product gently under your eyes to reduce puffiness and remove dark circles. Similar to the cleanser, it's recommended that you use this product twice a day for best results. This product's key ingredients include vitamin B and hyaluronic acid.

These products are available to purchase you can get the cleanser here for £29.00 and the serum is also available here for £39.00. 

Dirty Works - Cucumber Eye Pads

After a long, tiring day there is nothing better than relaxing with a spot of pampering. Here at The Amazing Blog, we have found something far more superior than sliced cucumber to rejuvenate tired eyes. Dirty Works have created their own Cucumber Eye Pads to relieve and revive those dark circled, puffy eyes.

The eye pads are conveniently pre-moistened with Cucumber Extract and Aloe Vera, designed to cool and soothe the sensitive skin on the lid and under-eye area. Simply place them on make-up free eyes and wait for the nourishment to melt into your skin. The pads only takes 2-5 minutes to get to work, perfect for those us who need a quick pampering session.

We loved using them in addition to our routine weekly face mask, and we really felt like we were indulging ourselves, but all for a reasonable price! Dirty Works made a quick pamper remedy fun and fabulous, our eyes have never been so refreshed.

Each pack contains 10 individually wrapped pairs and can be bought in Sainsbury’s for only £4. Get your hands on your own pack here

SilDerm's Lumixyl RevitalEyes

This time every year, my skin reacts terribly to the change of season - the constant changes of temperature make my skin dehydrated and very dull... make-up ends up looking odd and not as natural. That's why apart from looking for nourishing products, brightening ones are also on the top of my beauty wishlist every Autumn. To be fair, and when it comes to eye cream, I've always been on the hydrating side of formulas as they make under eye concealer go smoother - however, and following the "no dull skin in Autumn/Winter", I have to say that I and the girls at The Amazing Blog have fallen for SilDerm's Lumixyl RevitalEyes Brightening Eye Cream.

Lumixyl RevitalEyes claims to correct the 4 main signs of age of the eye area: dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, dryness and inflammation - most eye creams usually treat one or two of these factors, however, Lumixyl RevitalEyes has been designed specifically to rejuvenate the eye area correcting these 4 main issues. This effective eye cream uses the Decapeptide-12 technology, which stops the production on melanin; the dark pigment in the skin that causes sun spots, liver spots and dark eye circles. To be fair, I don't suffer from neither fine lines nor inflammation; however, I do have a super sensitive under eye area which needs deep hydration and brightening. The product is quite liquidy yet nourishing, it leaves the skin feeling fresh and soothes this sensitive area instantly. Silderm's Lumixyl has left my skin smoother, more flexible and definitely brighter.

You can buy SilDerm's Lumnixyl RevitalEyes on their website, it retails at £50 - worth every penny.
