24/7 Balm by Face Matters

A beautiful face balm is a big weakness of ours at The Amazing Blog, and in our expert opinion Face Matters make one of the best anti-ageing and restorative balms on the market. The Face Matters 24/7 Balm is an award-winning multi-functioning balm that won an editor’s choice award at the 2017 Beauty Shortlist Awards. 

The 24/7 Balm uses the same base ingredient, pure organic silicon, as all of Face Matters other products. This ingredient helps to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, which is an essential part of the formation of connective tissue and helps hair, skin and nails grow and appear youthful. Collagen is effectively the glue that holds us together and keeps us looking, healthier, younger and beautiful.

The balm itself is nourishing and luxurious when applied, acting as a super restorative treatment or an exfoliator. The solid balm melts effortlessly between your fingers into a rich and buttery feel that soaks into the skin. The quickest way to use the product is to massage it into skin before removing the excess product with a muslin cloth.  Our favourite way to use it, however, is to apply it as an overnight treatment.  Simply massage it into skin before bed and wake up to younger, more hydrated and glowing skin. The balm doesn’t sit on the face and is slowly absorbed as your skin regenerates itself overnight, so you don't have to worry about it rubbing off on to your pillow. This is an excellent way to keep skin looking healthy as we approach the colder winter months, especially if your skin dries out in the cold weather like ours does. 

This is a beautiful product that leaves you feeling pampered all day long. You can purchase the 24/7 balm here for £55.00

Charme D'Orient - Shea Butter with Argan Oil

Organic beauty products is one of our favourite products to receive here at The Amazing Blog . When we received a product from the trusted brand Charme D'Orient , we were practically falling over ourselves to try and get a chance to use it. 

The benefits of Shea Butter are endless, and it is even better when you know it is Grade A and unbleached unlike many other product containing the same ingredient. Shea Butter is also known to contain vitamin E, an ingredient that results in an increased micro-circulation which increases blood supply to and from the skin. Vitamin E can also act as a barrier to those dangerous UV raises, acting as a very light SPF. Rub this cream over your body after exercise as it aids in releasing muscle tension and small wounds. Argan Oil is another primary ingredient in this product which is a fantastic skin toner and exfoliator. Using this product regularly will help to improve the appearance of your skin and give you a youthful glow. This product is ideal for all skin types, especially those who are prone to dry skin or skin allergies.

What we also really appreciate here in the office is a product that will last; getting more bang for your buck is vital to us. A little goes a long way with this product, you can purchase Charme d’Orient at just £22.98 here. 

Frownies Facial Patches

So as the proverb cites, "prevention is better than cure" - and even though I'm only in my mid-twenties, I can't help but to be afraid of wrinkles and fine lines already. At The Amazing Blog we're quite opposed (and a bit scared) of injecting botox or other toxins in our pretty faces; so we treated ourselves to Frownies - the natural alternative to surgery or syringes.

Depending on your area of concern, Frownies offers two sets of patches to be used overnight on the forehead and between the eyes or on the corners of your eyes and mouth. The effect of the patches can be intensified using the Rose Water Hydrator Spray - rich in Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA, both humectants that prevent the skin from dehydration, locking the moisture in the skin.

Let's face the truth, continuous laughing, crying and frowning (life, in general) can damage the facial tissue, leading to forehead wrinkles, crows feet, eye wrinkles and marionette lines. This said, Frownies claims to re-educate the muscles of your face to assume their correct place and natural appearance - leaving the skin younger-looking and making wrinkles look less harsh.

As every skin treatment, the continual use of these Face Patches is key to see improvement and the benefits of this miracle product. Both Facial Patches for wrinkles on the Forehead and Between Eyes and Facial Patches for Corners of Eyes and Mouth are available to purchase online from Frownies website of calling 0113 2817711, for £17.50 each. You can also purchase any of these two sets with the Rose Water Hydrator Spray for £27.45.
