Ameliorate - Skin Smoothing Range

We at The Amazing Blog take our skincare very seriously, but we're ashamed to admit that our bodycare regime took a back seat in the winter months. Looking forward to our bikini bodies, we know how important it is to take good care of our skin. For this reason, we love the innovative body care products from Ameliorate, which are helping us to feel more comfortable as we prepare to flash a little more flesh.

The brand focuses on reducing the appearance of Keratosis Pilaris (aka “chicken skin”) and other common dry skin conditions through the use of alpha hydroxy therapy and other natural ingredients. Their Skin Smoothing Body Lotion is great for soothing and nourishing skin that has become a little parched over the cold season. The formula is light and non-greasy, so it will leave your skin soft and moisturised. It’s free from parabens and dermatologist approved too, in case you needed another reason to check it out. I also really enjoyed using their Skin Smoothing Body Mitt before jumping in the shower to get my blood flowing and exfoliate any dry patches. When paired with the natural, skin conditioning oils in the Skin Smoothing Shower Cream, you have a recipe for perfect summer skin.

One of the best parts of this brand is how well the products work for those with sensitive skin. The ingredients are non-irritating and will not bother current skin conditions you may already have. Pick up the Body Lotion, Body Mitt and Shower Cream here for £27.50, £12 and £15 respectively, and start your journey to amazing skin.

Skin Chemists Bee Venom

The harsh "sting" of realising that your skin may be ageing is quite painful, but the ladies here at The Amazing Blog know just how to prevent signs of ageing through the use of high-quality skincare products. The bee venom serum from Skin Chemists doesn’t involve getting stung by a bee, but rather combines the skin-loving powers of Manuka honey and bee venom into a unique skincare experience.

In Egypt, Greece and millennium China, beehive-based treatments have been greatly idolized for their repairing, revitalizing and anti-inflammatory benefits. Treatments that utilize beehive ingredients, such as honey, propolis, royal yellow and venom, are known as apitherapy products. With the rise of modern medicine, apitherapy practices were seen less often, so Skin Chemists brought this ancient and effective practice back to life in 2013 with their line of natural products.

The key ingredients in this serum work together to brighten your complexion and reduce the signs of ageing, since the Manuka honey hydrates, repairs and soothes skin. Additionally, the serum restores the epidermis, as the bee venom improves blood circulation, which stimulates the regeneration of the epidermis. In turn, your skin will feel firmer, smoother and plumper after just one use. 

Experience all the buzz about this product yourself when you purchase it here for £135.

Chulo Naturals - Charcoal Spa Range

There's something a bit counter-intuitive about rubbing coal on your face, but so many brands offer activated charcoal masks that it has become the norm in the world of beauty. Used to unclog pores and clear away impurities, there's nothing better for perfecting a smooth and clarified complexion. Here at The Amazing Blog, our latest obsession has become Chulo Naturals new Charcoal Spa range, which offers a wonderful selection of skin clarifying products.

First used medicinally by the Ancient Egyptians, the antique ingredient helped to keep wounds clean. Ahead of their time in so many ways, the Egyptians had charcoal sussed for its detoxifying properties thousands of years before we thought to give it a try! Nowadays, its natural ability to draw unwanted toxins from the body make it the perfect natural ingredient to treat acne and other skin problems.

As opposed to only offering a mask, as other companies often do, Charcoal Spa have monopolised on the beautifying potential of charcoal. All 100% organic, the brand have a range of charcoal products, including the Detoxifying Salt Scrub,  Detoxifying Face Mask and Charcoal Soap. The Salt Scrub is perfect for exfoliating and brightening the complexion, whilst the Charcoal Soap is a wonderfully gentle cleanser, perfect for everyday use. My personal favourite is the Face Mask. Its deep cleansing properties have really helped to brighten my complexion, leaving my skin feeling super soft after use.
