Pulpe De Vie Tickle Me! Body Scrubbing Butter

Here at The Amazing Blog, we like to get rid of the dead weight...of dead skin cells that is! Smooth skin is something that we are all on the look out for so that is why when we got our hands on the Pulpe De Vie Tickle Me! Body Scrubbing Butter we were very excited.

This sweet smelling scrubbing butter is made with 99% natural ingredients. We like that the scent of the scrub is not overpowering, but still smells fresh and lightly fruity after it is applied to the skin. It also features amazing organic tomato and blackcurrant waters from the South of France that impart antioxidants into your skin with each use. The apricot kernel powder gently exfoliates and smoothes skin from top to toe, and this certified organic scrub is also safe to use for our sensitive sisters (or brothers) and is free of parabens, silicons, and GMO’s! Simply smooth on wet skin in the shower, let the apricot kernel powder scrub away your dead cells and rinse. After the shower, marvel at your newly soft skin and apply a moisturizing lotion.

Pulpe De Vie Tickle Me! Body Scrubbing Butter is available for purchase through Absolutely Devine  for £14.00 here.

Love Coconut – Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is arguably the most versatile product on the market right now. You can use it in beauty treatments, as a hydrator for hair, and as a healthier alternative in recipes. As a self confessed foodie, I like to use it for cooking. So when Love Coconut sent us a couple of jars of their delicious extra virgin coconut oil, we here at The Amazing Blogwere keen to get cooking.

The Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Love Coconut is 100% organic and insanely healthy. In order to retain the maximum nutritional content, Love Coconut uses the “cold press” method to extract oil from the coconut, which involves separating the coconut oil from the cream after it has solidified, making the coconut oil extremely pure. Love Coconut’s oil is high in lauric acid and other medium chain fatty acids. These acids help you metabolize food faster, strengthen your immune system, and repair dry skin & hair. I started incorporating coconut oil into my diet by switching it for butter and other oils. I particularly like to use it when baking, because a slight hint of coconut can make recipes even tastier! When used on the skin it gives a great glow, without feeling greasy. There are endlless uses for this product, so go pick it up and see what works best for you!

Love Coconut Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is available here at £8.49 for 400ml.

Ochre Body & Skin - Cherish & Awaken Body Wash & Lotion

Here at The Amazing Blog, we like to think we know our skincare. But although Ochre Body & Skin is an exciting discovery for us, it turns out that the use of ochre is far from new. Long ago, ochre pigment was a vital ingredient in one of the first natural, protective moisturisers. Although a lot more advanced than their namesake predecessor, Ochre Body & Skin still maintain this natural and healthy outlook. So when we received  their Cherish and Awaken products to try out, we were happy to know that we would be sampling only the most organic skincare.

We tried the Body Wash and Body Lotion from two of Ochre's gentle collections. The first, Cherish, is a balancing range, featuring cedarwood and patchouli, which showcases some wonderfully soothing skincare. Although we enjoyed using the Cherish products, it was the second collection, Awaken, that really impressed us. The entire Awaken range is designed to tone and detoxify with its delicious lemon and black pepper formula. A gorgeous soft scent with a little zing to it, the Body Wash lathers really nicely. Sea minerals act to moisturise and enrich the skin, whilst the addition of citric acid stimulates collagen production, helping to boost radiance and slow signs of aging. The Body Lotion, with its combination of softening sweet almond oil and invigorating essential oils, left my skin feeling soft and velvety, with a subtle, long lasting scent. After using this delightful skincare, we're sure we'll be Ochre fans for life.

Ochre have since expanded their line to include two more wonderful skincare collections, as well as a selection of haircare. After our fantastic experience with Cherish and Awaken, we're excited to sample the other skin loving products on offer. The Cherish and Awaken products are available to buy here, with the Body Wash costing £14 and the Lotion, £18.

HealGel - HealGel Body

HealGel have something of a cult following in the beauty world, and have always been a huge hit with the girls here at The Amazing Blog. Their soothing and repairing gel formulas were designed by leading plastic surgeons, helping to bring super effective skincare to the masses. When HealGel sent us their newly released HealGel Body, we were keen to find out how it compared to the rest of the cutting edge skincare range.

HealGel Body is designed to soothe and heal problematic areas of the skin. Suitable for daily use, the gel has a cold, watery feel when you first apply it, but quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it feeling intensely nourished and unbelievably smooth. Fast drying body creams are essential for me, as there’s nothing worse than dressing in the morning with that slightly sticky feeling of just applied moisturiser still lingering. HealGel Body is one of the fastest drying products I have ever come across, disappearing almost the instant that it’s massaged into the skin. As well as leaving your skin feeling smooth as silk, it has also been formulated with regenerating properties, helping to repair and moisturise any troublesome regions. Arnica, well known for its bruise healing properties, is among the list of ingredients, as well as calming and nurturing madecassoside liposomes. The lightweight, paraben-free product has done a wonderful job of banishing my dry skin woes, and has certainly lived up to what we have come to expect from the HealGel range.

Suitable for all skin types, our skin felt well and truly regenerated after using this impressive gel. HealGel Body is available to buy here for £39.50.
