Weleda - Evening Primrose Collection

Research shows that humans are living longer lives, and that’s why we here at The Amazing Blog have made sure to keep you informed on the latest anti-ageing products! We all want to age as gracefully as we can, and keep our skin looking youthful as we do. The new Weleda Evening Primrose collection has routines to keep both your face and body looking healthy.

The collection is organic and 100% natural, which is not always the case with anti-ageing products. We don't like putting loads of chemicals on our faces or on our bodies, and we don't think our readers like that very much either. We believe that the more simple the ingredients list, the better the product. 

Evening Primrose is the absolute star of this line. The oil from the seeds retains moisture in the skin and removes rough patches, which keeps skin looking supple and moisturised. It also promotes cell growth and regeneration, making it the perfect anti-ageing combatant. The fragrance also incorporates notes of magnolia, cardamom and sandalwood to put your mind and body at ease.

The Evening Primrose Facial Collection includes Age Revitalising Day Cream, Age Revitalising Night Cream and Age Revitalising Eye and Lip Cream all for around £24 which can be bought here.

The Evening Primrose Body Collection includes Age Revitalising Body Lotion for £21.95, Age Revitalising Body Oil for £21.95, Age Revitalising Body Wash for £8.95 and Age Revitalising Hand Cream for £11.95. All of which can be bought here as well. 

Melvita - L'Or Rose Firming Oil

Anything that claims to help visibly reduce that orange peel effect has us all rushing to try it here at The Amazing Blog. The award-winning Melvita L’Or Rose Firming Oil contains a unique slimming formula that combines 100% natural origin ingredients including berries from La Reunion with sea buckthorn, to create a light and delicate cellulite combatting oil.

We love the fresh scent and its non-greasy texture which is easily absorbed by your skin. The results have also been impressive: on a survey of 29 women, after 28 days of applying the oil twice daily, 69% of women observed a decrease in the visible appearance of cellulite. It is astounding that we can get such amazing results from an organic, eco-friendly product. This is something that the majority of women can relate to, many of us suffer with cellulite, but with a healthy lifestyle and the addition of this Firming Oil we can wave it goodbye for good.

Melvita’s L’Or Rose Firming Oil retails at £30.00 for 100ml and can be bought from Melvita’s website here.

Sunshine Hats

Despite the unpredictable British summer weather, we here at The Amazing Blog know the importance of having good SPF products all year round.

Based in the UK, Sunshine Hats has an extensive range of UPF50+ headwear imported directly from Australia. Not only are their hats stylish, but they all come with a Skin & Cancer Foundation Australia accreditation which ensures that each hat is 100% protected against harmful UV rays. Yes, you read that correctly, an accessory scientifically proven to protect you from the sun.

We also love how they’re crushable, washable and water friendly, making them the ideal suitcase friendly hat for your summer travels. The hats can also be tailored to each individual head with an adjustable drawstring to achieve that perfect fit. These hats are truly a summer hols essential.

We love hats with big brims, and the Hayman Big Brim is perfect to cover up those bad hair days, plus it has wire in the brim so you can make it look exactly how you want. Or the Naples Ivory hat is a more casual alternative, perfect with a sundress or with a bikini and sarong.

To view the whole range and purchase a Sunshine Hat, please go to their website. They have kid’s hats for £10, visors for £16, and the women’s hats range from £20 - £32.  

Kahina - Lip & Face Balm

Here at The Amazing Blog, we often cart around a multitude of beauty products in our handbags, so that we’re ready to strike whenever a bout of dry skin or frizzy hair attacks. Unfortunately, the abundance of products can often become a little weighty, so we always appreciate travel sized and multi-purpose products. Kahina’s Lip & Face Balm falls into both those categories, so, naturally, it has become a staple in our bags this summer.

Packaged in Kahina’s signature sleek, black glass packaging, the pint-sized balm is perfect for an on-the-go beauty regime. Its soothing blend of natural, powerhouse ingredients, such as anti-inflammatory Calendula, Sea Buckthorn Extract and Olive Oil, help to soothe and repair dry skin and lips. On first glance, its honey hue doesn’t look like the type of product you’d like to smooth onto your skin. However, the oily concoction gives just the right amount of moisture when blended into the skin, leaving it feeling perfectly nourished and not at all greasy. It’s the perfect addition to any packing list.

Pick up this little jar of wonder elixir for £34 here. It’s certainly worth splashing the cash when it makes your skin feel this fantastic. 

Triumph & Disaster - No Dice Sunscreen

With the hot summer we’ve had so far, everyone should have a sunscreen they can wear every day, but all too often it seems that sunscreens are designed for a single day at the beach and are too harsh for day-to-day use. Triumph & Disaster created No Dice Sunscreen to combat this problem, and we at The Amazing Blog couldn’t be happier.

No Dice Sunscreen SPF 50 replaces the harsh chemicals found in most sunscreens with natural actives like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These ingredients are easy on the skin and less irritating than other chemicals used to repel UV rays. Not only does No Dice include ingredients that are less irritating, it also contains green tea and jojoba esters to actively moisturise and serve as antioxidants.

You can apply this sunscreen with confidence knowing that it meets all global SPF and broad spectrum testing standards. As an added bonus, No Dice is non-greasy and feels light on the skin. We were able to wear it without feeling weighed down all day, and unlike most sunscreens it has a mild and pleasant smell. 

If you are looking for a way to protect yourself from the harsh sun this summer, Triumph & Disaster No Dice Sunscreen SPF 50 can be bought at Selfridges for only £36. Simply apply every two hours and take on the day with confidence.
