Sapooni - Salty Seaweed Body Polish

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re all about championing smaller, artisan brands. It seems as though the skincare market is so saturated with companies claiming to be perfectly organic, or promising unbelievable results that they just can’t deliver. So we’re always delighted when we find a diamond in the rough; an independent brand that shines through. Our most recent love is Sapooni, a natural, handmade brand from Cornwall.

With a huge range of products to choose from, there really is something for everyone in the range. The Mucky Men collection contains all natural products, formulated especially for men who work outside. The range includes a Moustache & Beard Balm, and Hand Cream to name but a few, and all contain the most nourishing ingredients, perfect for caring for your skin. They have also formulated an aptly named Teenage Dirtbag range, which is perfect for teens prone to blackheads and breakouts. Their Teenage Dirtbag Soap is formulated to draw out excess oil and dirt, as well as including natural antiseptics, tea tree and arnica. It’s super gentle, so you can use it daily to help combat those pesky spots.

Last but not least, we tried some wonderful products from Sapooni’s Seaweed Range, and fell in love. Packed with minerals and vitamins, seaweed is an amazing skin detoxer. We particularly liked the Salty Seaweed Body Polish. Clearly packaged with care, the elegant glass jar looks great on the bathroom shelf. Sea Salt acts as a great exfoliating base, and is combined with intensely moisturising components like Mango Butter, Olive and Sweet Almond Oil, making it such a decadent treat for your skin. And with seaweed that’s hand-harvested from the Cornish coast, we can’t help but think about our wonderful jaunts to the seaside every time we use it.

Rodin - Facial Cleansing Powder

At the end of the day, when all you want to do is lie on the sofa with a glass of wine catching up on the TV you've missed, your cleansing routine can seem like a bit of an effort. Here at The Amazing Blog, we have found a beauty secret which will make your routine much more of a treat. Rodin's Facial Cleansing Powder tailors to your cleansing needs, perfectly prepping your skin for the rest of your routine.

Admittedly a little odd looking for a cleanser, when the powder arrived in the office, it took a bit of reading before we were sure how to use it. Containing a beautiful blend of calming Jasmine and Vitamin C packed Neroli Oil, the product smells divine when massaged onto the skin. Rice Bran Extract gives the powder its granular texture, and Red Algae Extract adds a moisturising element, making it ideal for most skin types. After tipping a little of the powder into our hands, we simply added water to build it into a rich, cleansing lather. We love the fact that just a tweak of ratios totally changes the consistency and purpose of the product - adding less water makes the powder into a fabulous exfoliator, whereas adding more allows you to gently wash away the day's grime. Whatever your needs, it's a great way to cleanse your skin before adding some nourishing face oil.

Add a bit of luxury to your cleansing routine, and treat yourself to the Facial Cleansing Powder here for £32.

Resultime - Re-Densifying Night Cream

Here at The Amazing Blog, we're always testing new skincare products to try and keep our skin plump and wrinkle-free, and our latest discovery, Resultime's Re-Densifying Night Cream, is perfect for doing just that. Taking action during the night, it's ideal for perfecting a smooth visage whilst you're getting your beauty sleep.

Enriched with Vitamin A, B3 and Vectorised Micro-Collagen, the Re-Densifying Night Cream promises to reduce any visible fine lines and wrinkles, plump up your skin and give back that glowing youthful appearance. The cream's thick, creamy texture feels so luxurious and cooling to apply, leaving a layer of rich moisture on the skin, so that it can work it's magic through the night. As well as being incredibly soothing on our complexions, our skin was noticeably softer and brighter when we woke, and we were pleasantly surprised by our much more even, full visage. All you have to do is apply the cream onto a cleansed face and neck in the evening just before dozing off in order to wake up with a more hydrated and plumper skin.

For consistent results get your Re-Densifying Night Cream here for £58.50 and enjoy plumper and healthy skin.

Sunlover - Nutricosmetic Drinks

Here at The Amazing Blog, we understand that there are some nutrients we get best from the sun's warming rays. However, for the more fair among us, we'd rather steer clear of spending too much time in the sun. So when Sunlover sent us these nutritious drinks that claim to offer these very benefits in a can, we we're intrigued. 

Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the nutricosmetic beverage comes in two delicious flavours.  Protector, a thirst-quenching orange and carrot flavoured drink is great for topping up your vitamin levels, as well as protecting your cells from oxidative stress. As well as this, Copper helps to regulate and protect the skin’s melanin, whilst Zinc and Selenium help to shield skin cells from free radicals, ensuring you’re looking radiant and healthy at all times. Although refreshing, our favourite was the Regenerator, a pomegranate flavoured drink that's both nutritious and delicious. Containing VIQUA, it helps to keep elastin levels topped up, as well as providing a range of nourishing minerals and vitamins, making it ideal for keeping your skin at its absolute best. We also loved that Sunlover improves your tan, so we can prep for summer and get ready for that bronzed and flawless complexion. Did we mention that these sugar free beverages have zero calories? You can’t go wrong.

Sip on the sun in liquid form and have a radiant complexion that shines like sunbeams with Sunlover. Grab a can here for only £2.50.

La Cure - Make Me Youthful Intensive Facial Oil

Here at The Amazing Blog, we always opt for products that offer that youthful glow. Unfortunately a lot of products promise to turn back the clock but very few deliver. But La Cure’s Make Me Youthful Intensive Facial Oil will truly transform your skin, giving you that fresh look that we all strive for.

Nourishing, healing and natural ingredients such as Evening Primrose Oil, Dead Sea Mineral Salt, and Marula work together to keep our skin looking healthy whilst reducing the appearance of those fine lines we dread, all of this while improving your skin tone and giving you a radiant look. A combination of carrier oils together with pure essential oils are used to create this anti-aging beauty booster, perfect for helping to promote youthful skin. When it came to testing the product, we particularly loved its aromatherapy effect, with a Rose and Sandalwood scent which now lingers in the office. The light oil easily and quickly absorbed into our skin, leaving it instantly brighter, giving us a silky, non-greasy complexion. It’s all we need to keep us feeling fresh-faced and beautiful.
