Environ RAD Sunscreen

We here at The Amazing Blog care deeply about proper skincare. One of the most important parts of taking care of your skin involves using an SPF regularly to protect your skin from harmful ultraviolent sun rays. For this reason, we love the RAD Antioxidant Sunscreen from Environ with SPF 15.

The sunscreen was launched in 1992 by Dr. Des Fernandes, a South African plastic surgeon. It enhances conventional sun protection by addressing sun rays that go beyond the standard UV-A and UV-B. It prevents sunburn and even helps to heal existing sunburns with essential vitamins C and E and other skin-soothing ingredients.

Unlike many normal sunscreens, this product contains antioxidant-rich vitamins that can reduce the impact of free radicals, which can damage DNA and destroy collagen and elastin. In turn, you’ll reduce your risk for prematurely aged skin, pigmentation and skin cancer, since the product doesn’t contain any ingredients that will trigger free racial damage once absorbed.

Our favourite part of the product was the clean scent and lightweight feel, since many sunscreens often feel too think and heavy. This one protects our skin and feels wonderful at the same time.

The RAD Antioxidant SPF 15 Sunscreen costs £19.95 and is available for beauty salon stockists nationwide. Head to to the Environ website and type in your address to find the stockist nearest you.

Emzaroma Collagen Facial Serum

We at The Amazing Blog know how valuable anti-ageing products can be, especially when they are designed with care and sophistication in mind. The Collagen Facial Serum from Emzaroma strives to bring only the best in anti-ageing skincare with its rejuvenating and moisturising properties.

Made up of a variety of skin-loving ingredients, the serum triggers cell renewal and increases collagen production to help tone and firm the skin. Other ingredients help to treat fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone, while promoting tranquility and giving your skin a calm, refreshing feeling.

For best results, we recommend using the serum at night so it can settle into your skin properly overnight. It’s perfect if you have sensitive skin, as it is non-irritating and has a very lightweight feel. It’s easy to travel with and gives you an incredible value for the money.

You can purchase your own facial serum here for £28.

VOYA - Bright Eyes Brightening Eye Cream

After an exciting night out, your skin may not look as bold and bright as it usually does, especially around the delicate eye area. When the girls here at The Amazing Blog want a pick-me-up for tired eyes, we reach for the Bright Eyes Brightening Eye Cream from Voya for an instant lift. The look of dark circles and worn out eyes will vanish instantly, and the results are simply excellent.

As soon as we applied it, we felt a cool sensation that brightened our eyes and the rest of our complexion simultaneously. It's rich in skin-loving antioxidants to give your skin the benefits it craves. The product comes in a small glass bottle with a white pump, which distributes a perfect portion of this miracle cream, great for those of us who are prone to wasting product. It’s designed for women of all ages, since it brightens and revitalises eyes instantly. It also works as an anti-ageing product, since it contains certified organic ingredients and seaweed extract that help to fight the signs of ageing. It's a wonderful way to awaken your skin, and make you look bright eyed and bushy tailed, no matter how you feel.

Face Matters - Anytime Cleanser

We here at The Amazing Blog are always on the lookout for new ways to wash the grime from our faces at the end of a long day in the Capital. Our new skincare love comes in the form of the Face Matters Anytime Cleanser; it's the perfect treat to gently cleanse your skin at the end of the day.

Filled with highly active botanicals, the foaming cleanser contains a soothing blend of Aloe, Argan and Pure Organic Silicon to bring loads of great benefits to your skin, while washing away impurities. Often with less creamy cleansers, I'm left with that dreadful tight feeling, but I was happy to find that this was not the case at all with this nourishing foam. Packed with nutrients in the form of natural antiseptic, Lemon, and Mandarin to stimulate circulation, it's the boost that my tired skin needs at the end of a long day. The perfect blend of quality ingredients will help you keep your youthful complexion and prevent wrinkles from forming. Not only this, the oils help to lower the stress hormone, cortisol, for positive effects on your emotions as well as your skin, making it the perfect evening pick-me-up.

Wash away the dirt of the day with your own Anytime Cleanser, which you can buy from the Face Matters shop for £36.

Skin Shop - KALME Undercoat

When you have sensitive skin, taking care of it can often be quite a balancing act. Trying to find the right creams and lotions to soothe at the same time as keeping the routine as minimal as possible can be quite a daunting task. Luckily, we here at  The Amazing Blog have discovered KALME Undercoat from Skin Shop, a great two-in-one that acts as both a gentle moisturiser and base for sensitive skin. With one less product in our beauty routine, our skin is much happier!

Designed with sensitive skin in mind, the KALME Undercoat acts as a barrier as well as a skincare staple, increasing the skin’s tolerance to a variety of cosmetics. Since skin sensitivity is often aggravated by a build-up of harmful additives, it's great to discover a product that provides a little protection. Free from parabens, the soothing cream provides instant cooling relief when applied. Skin Shop suggest leaving the product to sink in for about 15 minutes before layering on any more products, and I did worry that as an effective moisturiser, it may cause my make-up to slide around a bit. Quite the opposite was true, and my foundation stayed put all day. Not only that, any redness in my skin was calmed, negating the need for excess concealer. It's the perfect addition to my skincare routine, and has made quite a difference to my sensitive visage.

Pick up your own KALME Undercoat here for £17, and let your sensitive skin breathe a sigh of relief.
