REAMIN Hand Protective Cream

If there is one product that we cannot get enough of here at The Amazing Blog office, it is hand cream. Currently, we have four sitting on the desk, and any one is reached for multiple times a day. Although we seem to have endless amounts, we are always on the search for more. We recently came across a brand called REAMIN, which has developed a range of hand creams formulated for salon professionals, but is equally fantastic for everyone. We were lucky enough to sample their original and unscented formulas here at The Amazing Blog, and they have been sitting at our desks being happily used ever since as we love the formula.

REAMIN was specially developed to create an invisible shield for those who have their hands in water or wet substances frequently. It protects the skin and nails from the damage of prolonged water exposure due to the beeswax in the formula. People who work in these conditions are also exposed to many chemicals that can cause contact dermatitis. Dermatitis is essentially a skin rash, commonly known as Eczema. REAMIN is a wonderful solution for people who suffer from dermatitis, as the lotion provides the protective barrier that their skin needs. For salon professionals, not only will REAMIN protect your hands, but it is also safe to use as a perm barrier cream for clients. The Original formula smells lovely, almost like honey, and feels incredible. We absolutely love it here at the office. When you first apply, do not be alarmed by the stickiness. It absorbs quickly and then feels like silk on the hands.

If you would like more information about REAMIN and its benefits for the skin, visit their website. There you will also find links to where to purchase for individual retail and to stock in a salon. The bottles are very big and will last a long time, perfect for any household kitchen, or hairdresser’s station. Prices start from £3.60 plus VAT for a 75ml bottle.

AEOS Skincare Beauty Body Lotions

It is not often that you come across skincare brands that make you re-think the purpose of your products. Here at The Amazing Blog, we take the time to research a company’s intentions before we decide to try their products. Recently, we came across AEOS Skincare, which is revolutionising the way we look at product creation and production. We were able to sample two of their Beauty Body Lotions, Awakening and Harmonising, and we must say that those are revolutionary as well.

AEOS, which stands for Active Energised Organic Skincare, has created a way of producing skincare that is very unique to their brand. Aura-Soma, their producer, has a biodynamic farm called Shire Farm, where all of the plants are grown that produce the AEOS range. This means that the plants are grown without the use of artificial fertilizers or growth enhancers, and are as pure and natural as they can be. They harvest and grow the plants in a way that each plant is tenderly cared for and it’s ‘being’ is as strong as possible.  All of the plant extracts and oils in the products are considered ‘alive’ by AEOS, so they are still living organisms when you use them. We were able to sample the AEOS Beauty Body Lotion in ‘Awakening’ and ‘Harmonising’. The Beauty Body Lotion in Awakening is packed full of nourishing plant extracts and essential oils like Spelt oil, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, Lavender Extract, and Calendula Extract. The colour is also derived from the Calendula Extract and is in no way artificial. The lotion also contains Crystal Essences from Opal, Fire Opal, Zincite, Quartz, Carnelian, and Orange Calcite. The scent is lovely, very plant like and does ‘awaken’ the senses. You are advised to use this product sparingly, shake it up a little, and apply it to damp skin so that it can be absorbed as quickly as possible.

AEOS Skincare has a three-phase system with their products, which uses the different products in the range to create an ideal face and body system for optimal benefits. To find out more information about the AEOS Beauty Body Lotion or any of their other products, visit their website, where you can purchase the lotion for £35.80. AEOS are currently running an amazing deal on their website where you receive the Harmonising Beauty Body Lotion for free with any purchase while stocks last.

Move PopUp Gym

If you are anything like us here at The Amazing Blog, the prospect of dragging ourselves to the gym is not at all appealing! So when we heard all about Move Popup Gym, we left all our exercise reservations at the door and found ourselves reaching for the gym kit in the deep, dark corners of our wardrobes.

You’ve heard of popup stores and restaurants, but Move Popup Gym is set to be the next big thing in the fitness world. Instead of staring at a wall on the treadmill you can now find yourself doing the downward facing dog on top of a rooftop overlooking the London skyline…yeah you heard me right! Past and present locations include a rooftop overlooking St. Paul’s Cathedral, a raised garden at Cardinal Place and Battersea Power Station.

Unlike most traditional gyms, there are no hefty fees to pay, or even a contract to sign. You can turn up to classes as and when you feel motivated – great for our bank balance. Classes include Zumba, Body Conditioning, Balletsculpt, Pilates, Stiletto Work Outs (I know, we think this sounds great too!), Tabata, Yoga and ‘Look Good Naked’. So there is really a class to meet all needs whether you are a beginner or a fitness fanatic.

Prices for classes start at just £10 and you can find out more about where their next class will be popping up by following them on Twitter and liking their Facebook page or visit the Move Popup Gym website for more information.

Inner-Soul Organics Romance Me Oil

It is no secret that we love using body oils here at The Amazing Blog. Oils are very moisturising and nourishing in a way that lotions just cannot compete with. Whenever we find out about new oil products that look exciting, everyone scrambles to be the first one in the office to try it. We recently heard about a company called Inner-Soul Organics, whose founder is deeply knowledgeable about the power of oils and aromatherapy, and so we were excited to try out the Romance Me Oil.

Emma Coleman, the founder of Inner-Soul Organics believes that it is very important for our mind and soul to be connected with our outer bodies, which can be done through the use of aromatherapy and essential oils. All of Inner-Soul’s products have natural and organic ingredients like Omega Oils and Vitamins A, D, and E. The Romance Me skin oil is a blend from the Mind Body Soul range and is perfect for use at night and after a shower or bath.

It has Jojoba, Sesame, and Sweet Almond Oil to promote cell turnover and help with elasticity. Jasmine and Absolute Rose essential oils help to reduce skin imperfections and relax the mind and senses into a tranquil state. You will want to apply this on towel died skin, and pay special attention to areas with blemishes or scars. Because the ingredients are 100% natural, it absorbs into the skin very quickly and doesn’t leave any unpleasant textures. This is perfect for after a bath or shower, to calm the skin, and is great to use before bedtime, as the aroma is very relaxing. This is sure to become a staple product in your routine, and of course, one of your favourite oils.

To find out more about the Inner-Soul Organics Romance Me Oil, visit the website. The oil retails at £35.00 and can be teamed perfectly with other items in the Inner-Soul range. They have been very generous, and are giving all you lovely readers a 20% discount on Inner-Soul Organics products if you use the code AMAZING20 at the checkout.

Pure Thoughts Whipped Shea Body Butter

 The weather is changing at the moment, and with the onset of the first autumn chill comes our least favourite thing: dry skin. At The Amazing Blog we know that it is important to maintain our skin care routine, despite our busy schedules, to prevent the weather from affecting our skin. So, we have been trying out the Whipped Shea Body Butter by Pure Thoughts to banish any dry skin and keep our skin supple and moisturised.

We tried out the Tangerine and Jojoba flavoured body butter and the smell is amazing. It is really citrusy and the scent lingers on your skin long after application. This citrus scent is warm and tangy which has a calming effect and lifts the spirits. The body butter also comes in Lavender and Jojoba and also an unscented version.

Pure Thoughts have an all natural philosophy, and believe that natural skin care should mean only the best ingredients. The butter itself is composed of 100% natural ingredients and contains Shea butter, jojoba oil, tangerine oil and limonene… and that’s it! It has no nasties, such as parabens or added chemicals that can irritate the skin, so this butter is perfect for those with sensitive and dry skin. This also means that the product is gentle enough to be used on the face and body on a regular basis.

Shea butter is a wonderful ingredient that is rich and luxurious on the skin. It is particularly helpful for soothing dry and damaged skin due to its repairing properties - perfect for this cold weather! The jojoba oil moisturises and also restores balance to neglected skin. Not only does the butter soothe dry skin, it can also be used to relieve sunburn, reduce the appearance of stretch marks and it can help those who suffer from eczema and psoriasis, making this an all-round great beauty buy.

The butter is almost balm like, so only a small amount of product is needed to nourish the skin. Despite being an oil based product, the butter does not feel greasy on the skin; instead the skin feels instantly softer and more hydrated. This would be a fantastic product to apply before bed time so you wake up with soft and supple skin.

The Whipped Shea Butter retails for £11.95 for an 85g, which we think is fantastic value for money for an all natural product, made of the finest quality ingredients. You can get yours from the Pure Thoughts website. Pure Thoughts have been very generous in offering a special 10% discount on the Whipped Shea Butters for one week only; you can redeem your discount by entering the code AMAZING at the checkout.
