Cooling Eye Pads - Oh K!

At The Amazing Blog, we know that puffy eyes are almost inevitable in today’s society. Spending hours of the day, staring at computer, phone and television screens, or, a continuous lack of sleep strains our eyes causing them to look puffy. We know that it can be difficult, and not always possible, to avoid doing the things that make our eyes appear tired, as lovely as it would be to get a few extra hours in bed the universe often has other plans. So that is why we are so excited by Oh K! and their Cooling Eye Pads. Not only do these pads work a treat but they let you take a few moments out of your day, away from the strain and stress, to treat yourself.

The Cooling Eye Pads are so much fun to use and come in delightful Panda-themed packaging! The product is designed in such a way that when you place the eye pads over your peepers, you resemble a loveable panda - it was probably the only time we enjoyed having panda eyes! The gel eye pads are cooling so they instantly soothe and refresh the surrounding skin while brightening the eyes. It's recommended that you leave them to cool for 1-2 hours in the fridge or overnight, before lying back and letting them work their magic. The best bit is that you can even reuse them! Simply wash them after use and pop them back in the fridge!

These cooling pads are an excellent accompaniment to OH K's Coconut Water Face Masks which we previously featured here!

You can purchase these fun, funky and effective cooling eye pads here for £6.00

Vata Hydrating Cleanser - SAMAYA

At the Amazing Blog, we believe in the long-term benefits of using all natural products rather than those laden with chemicals and so love testing new products that use simple, natural ingredients and we have found a brilliant product in SAMAYA’s Vata Hydrating Cleanser.

SAMAYA is founded on Ayurvedic principles with a holistic approach, aiming to provide their customers with ‘perfect balance' by using simple and effective ingredients. SAMAYA has three distinct ranges each tailored for different needs – Pitta, Vata, and Kapha. As everyone's skin is different, the variety in SAMAYA care is marvellous because it means you can find the product that is right for you. With each range containing a blend of botanical ingredients, free from parabens and synthetics, you can't go wrong.

The SAMAYA product we tried was the Vata Hydrating Cleanser. The cleanser was creamy and rubs in like an oil, making it extremely hydrating without being too cloying. We adored the subtle and natural fragrance of the product. When applied it felt luxurious and holistic. The ingredients in the cleanser are splendid, with Ayurvedic botanicals such as Rose, Turmeric, Tulsi, Gotu Kola, and Ashwagandha. This particular blend of high-quality ingredients has a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and antioxidant effects, making it a great cleanser for skin prone to acne and redness.

Great at removing makeup and impurities without drying out the skin, it left our skin feeling softer and more balanced.

We enjoyed SAMAYA’s Ayurvedic approach to skin care as the product offers a relaxing and indulgent cleansing experience that has great results. To achieve the perfect balance, you can purchase the Vata Hydrating Cleanser here for £69.00.
