Dr. Scheller - Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum and Anti-Age/De-Pigment Eye Care

We all need an anti-ageing skincare regime, and here at The Amazing Blog our products of choice are made by Dr. Scheller Natural & Effective. Our personal favourites are the Argan Oil & Amaranth Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum and the Organic Wild Rose Anti-Age/De-Pigment Eye Care.

All natural and registered in the Vegan Society, Dr. Scheller is the only brand of cosmetics to use the PhytoSolve active complex. PhytoSolve ingredients, which are emulsions of soy lecithin, allow Dr. Scheller products to penetrate the skin and heal from the inside out. All products in this brand are also free from silicones, mineral oils, synthetic colorants, and parabens.

If you are looking for an anti-wrinkle product to apply to your whole face, we recommend beginning with the Argan Oil & Amaranth Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum. This serum visibly smoothes wrinkles and makes skin feel firm.

If fine lines around the eyes are more your concern, the Organic Wild Rose Anti-Age/De- Pigment Eye Care is more targeted to the delicate areas that surround your eyes. It combines Aloe vera extract to organic wild rose oil to counter pigment spots and reduce fine lines.

Both of these Dr. Scheller products can be purchashed at Whole Foods UK stores or  here starting at only £9.89. 

Time Bomb - Glory Days Day Cream and Flashback Night Cream

Here at The Amazing Blog we love nothing more than sumptuous products to help give our skin a youthful glow, and Time Bomb Glory Days Day Cream and Flashback Night Cream do just that.

Unlike typical day creams Time Bomb Glory Days forms a moisture barrier and transforms skin into a smooth, perfect canvas. A super-power blend of glucose, borage oils and white flower oils help re-energize cells and aid in regeneration, leaving skin plump, dewy and tight.

With powerhouse peptide Matrixyl which has been clinically proven to almost double the amount of collagen in the skin - this emollient-rich moisturiser-and-more absorbs quickly. Hyaluronic acid forms a matrix that penetrates into skin to trap moisture and smoothes skin’s surface making it an ideal surface for makeup application with no streaking or pulling. Opalescent particles give skin an instant radiance. Skin instantly looks, feels and 'acts' younger.

Night-time is the best time to launch an anti-ageing attack and Time Bomb Flashback Night Cream is the weapon of choice. This super-rich formula drenches skin in healing oils such as Borage Oil, botanicals, phytoplids, hyaluronic acid and vitamins. Rice Bran Wax and Shea Butter form a mini mask to plump, smooth and soften the skin.

Flashback is lightweight, yet incredibly powerful, creating a barrier that seals moisture in as it is absorbed into skin.  Unlike typical night creams, Flashback will stay on your skin, instead of on your pillow! Powerful anti-oxidants that would normally deplete over time are stored as reserves so you wake up with a dewy glow that lasts long into the day.

Time Bomb is available at Selfridges London and Birmingham, QVC and on Time Bomb’s website. Purchase the Glory Days Day Cream for £12 here and the Flashback Night Cream for £13.50 here. 

Kadria - Balancing Face Oil with Chia and Blackseed

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to discover new natural and vegan products, especially those that are suitable to sensitive skin. We couldn’t have been more happy to receive Kadria Balancing Face Oil, which is a natural safe therapy which helps to nourish, protect and restore your skin. Made from 100% vegetable derived ingredients, it’s the perfect way to treat sensitive skin.

One of the main ingredients in the Balancing Face Oil is Blackseed. This plant, that in Arabia is called ‘seeds of blessing’ or ‘habba sawda’, helps to keep the skin youthful and radiant with its rejuvenating properties. Another key ingredient for keeping your skin supple and youthful is Frankincense. An oil that comes from the gum or resin of the trees, it helps to improve the texture and elasticity of the skin. Finally the Rose Geranium, with its wonderful fresh scent, helps to relax and calm your mind.

All Kadria products are developed by an aromatherapy and massage practitioner who has combined her Anglo-Arabic roots with her knowledge of the scents of the orient to create a line of oils ideal for health and wellbeing. Moreover, all Kadria products are natural and kind to our bodies because they have been specifically designed for pregnancy and labour. If they’re safe enough for using during those special 9 months, then who are we to argue!

If you want to ‘pamper yourself with peace of mind’, you can buy the Kadria Oil here for £36.

Fashion Fair - Perfect Illuminating Powder

Here at The Amazing Blog , it feels like it’s finally time to embrace summer! Aside from ice cream, sandals and summertime strolls, nothing screams summer more than bronzed skin. We’ve found the perfect way to cheat that bronzed glow with the Perfect Finish Illuminating Powder from Fashion Fair.

Formulated primarily for women of colour, Fashion Fair has a wonderful range of cosmetics that are perfect for a number of skin tones. The Illuminating Powder would be ideal for adding a flush of colour or a highlight to darker skin. That being said, I find that the versatile shade adds a wonderful glow to my fair skin. Being on the paler side myself (although I often dose up with my favourite fake tan), I loved the Metal shade for adding a bit of warmth to my summer complexion. A little on the shimmery side, this is more of an evening product for me, but I was so surprised by how good of a match it was for my fair visage. It will certainly be going in my suitcase this summer to help me master a sun-kissed look on warm exotic evenings.

Pick up your own Fashion Fair Perfect Finish Illuminating Powder here  for £29.

Clayspray - White Clay and Lavender Clayspray and Red Clay Claytherapy

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to use natural products for skin. When we received the White Clay and Lavender and the Red Clay Clayspray we couldn’t wait to try it.  It contains only pure ingredients, including clay, spring water, hydrogels and selected plant extracts.

The White Clay and Lavender Clayspray is a treatment ideal for purifying all types of skin and stimulating blood circulation. You can use it to soften your hands and arms, to deodorize your feet, relieve heavy legs and it has a lovely soothing lavender scent. It's the perfect way to relax your body and your mind after a long, stressful day in the office.

The Red Clay treatment is a specific face treatment to absorb impurities and sebum. This mask leaves your face looking good and your skin smooth and fresh. After using it for only two weeks my skin looked brighter and magnificently soft.

The clay is rich in minerals, ideal for its cosmetic and therapeutic properties: it purifies and removes impurities and toxins without affecting the skin's natural barrier. Clayspray uses different types of clay to respond to the needs of each skin type. The addition of a hydrogel ensures freshness and provides needed hydration for the skin. The Claysprays also come in clever container which only allows the amount you need to come out when you press it.

You can get the White Clay and Lavender Clayspray and the Red Clay Claytherapy here for £25 each.
