Phyto - Huile Soyeuse Lightweight Hydrating Oil

Ivana Trump famously said, “Gorgeous hair is the best revenge”, and over at The Amazing Blog we couldn’t agree more! Your hair can be your best accessory. We love to blow-dry, straighten and curl our gorgeous locks, but we know that it’s important to use the right products to protect and hydrate our hair.

Haircare brand Pyhto have developed a leave in conditioner which is perfect for dry and fine hair. The highly botanical formula is the perfect balance between plant-derived oils and extracts. It gently moisturizes and revitalizes hair fibre. Spray the lightweight formula on wet hair, with a little extra on the very ends. Pesky knots quickly disappear and styling becomes magically easy. It’s also the perfect product to prepare your hair for heat. It has a beautifully delicate scent and it instantly makes your hair feel softer and shinier.

The name pleasantly deceiving as it doesn’t have an oily texture, but it’s not quite a lotion either. It is a refreshingly light product that will leave your hair gorgeously revitalised and silky smooth. The great news is that it’s so light you can use it daily!

If you want to be the envy of all your friends, Phyto products can be found in Space NK and online here for £26.50.

Elements - Skincare Range

Every man in this day in age needs a beauty skincare regime, so when I received Elements Skincare's range here at The Amazing Blog I didn’t hesitate to use each and every one of the products.

I began my beauty regime first thing in the morning with the face scrub, which is chemical free and is not too perfumed as I personally prefer. The scrub deeply exfoliated my skin. I could genuinely see and feel the difference in my face. It felt and looked smooth and clear.

Next, I decided to use the shaving cream which surprisingly didn’t sting at all after using the scrub. I usually use a foam product for shaving, but I must say this product has converted me. Plus, for an added bonus, all of the products are cruelty free and approved by the vegetarian society.

Next up in my routine was the Elements Face Wash which restores and hydrates skin improving skin fatigue and dryness.

Last, but certainly not least, was the Elements Moisturiser which is approved by the Soil Association. This product helps to boost the skin’s moisture barrier to get rid of dry skin for good. This product also has medicinal values and can act as an anti-inflammatory, so it is great for people with acne and those who need help reducing fine lines. This product will protect your skin without making it look shiny or oily.

Prices for products in this line start at just £18.00 and you can buy them here. The Elements skincare range would also make a great present for you father, brother or friends as it suits all skin types. 

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

Victoria&K - Moroccan Lava Clay Powder

Here at The Amazing Blog  there is nothing we love more than a multi-purpose product. We were very happy to receive Victoria&k Moroccan Hair and Skin Detox treatment , which has so many benefits I’m not sure I’ll have enough space to inform you of each one!

The product contains Moroccan Lava Clay which reduces dryness whilst improving skins elasticity. It is a 100% natural ingredient which purifies skin and can even heal small wounds and cracks. This ingredient contains silica which is scientifically proven to help get rid of acne. The product unblocks pours clogged pours without leaving your skin feeling dry afterwards, it is gentle on your body. Don’t forget this product can also be used on your hair!! We would advise mixing the treatment with a hair oil to obtain the full benefits, which will leave you with soft, silky hair after just one wash. Let’s face it, our skin goes through a lot on a daily basis, and just like our bodies it needs a good detox.

A detoxifying cleanser, skin conditioner, shampoo and a facial and body mask, is there anything this product can’t do?? We were fighting over the product here in the office. Purchase Victoria&K Moroccan Lava Clay Powder here  for £7.99.

Hand Chemistry - Intense Youth Complex Hand Cream

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re constantly using our hands. Whether it’s typing at our desks, or flicking through various papers and magazines, this constant handling often has a drying effect on our delicate mitts. Through a need to keep them moisturised, we’re constantly trying out new creams and lotions. Our latest find is the Hand Chemistry Intense Youth Complex Hand Cream, which is just perfect for a boost of hydration

This miracle cream has been proven to fight signs of hand aging whilst keeping your mitts moisturised throughout the day. We always think that the hands are a dead giveaway to someone’s age, no matter how much care they’ve taken of their complexion, so it’s comforting to know that  while we’re keeping our hands hydrated, we’re also dialling back the years for a more youthful look.  This creamy emulsion visibly smoothed out the appearance of our hands, as well as relieving that tight, dry feeling we often get after a few hours at the keyboard. Rich and super concentrated, a little goes a very long way with this wonder cream, and you only need to apply twice a day to see great results, so we know we’ll be using it for a long time yet.

Remember, your hands are exposed to the elements just as much, if not more, than your face is so it makes sense to treat them with just as much TLC. You can purchase the cream in Boots or online here for £19.00.
