Bravura London - First Cleanse Oil

Not enough people are aware of the importance of cleansing, here at The Amazing Blog we are determined to share our wealth of knowledge to achieve great skin. Bravura London have produced a First Cleanse Oil to ensure our skin is thoroughly cleansed to allow other skincare products to work to their full potential. Oil cleansers are fantastic to remove makeup or any dirt on the skin, then it should followed by a second cleanser to remove anything left behind. For anyone with oily skin do not panic, no matter what your skin type oil cleansers will perfectly clean and hydrate your skin.

The First Cleanse Oil contains a variety of fresh and natural ingredients, it contains safflower, coconut, avocado and Vitamin E oil, all infused with Lavender and Rosemary essential oils. Water is also added to give it a smoother and runnier texture; it glides onto the skin with such ease and removes even stubborn waterproof makeup. The oils used are selected for their benefits to the skin and ability to remove dirt without aggravating the skin, those with sensitive skin can breathe a sigh of relief. Coconut and avocado oil nourish the skin and vitamin E oil is a natural anti-oxidant, there is so much goodness packed into a product. The Lavender, Chamomile and Rosemary oils are soothing and purifying, we can finally go to bed without sore eyes.

 We loved that the oil cleanser was made from such natural ingredients and truly loved the fragrant sent and soothing effects when taking off stubborn makeup, as beauty enthusiasts we wear a lot of it. The oil does not feel greasy on the skin and comes off easily with a wet flannel; we do recommend using a second cleanser for optimum results.

Collgen - Face Serum & Night Cream

Here at The Amazing Blog we love trying products that promise to give us a glowing complexion. When we received the Collagen Face Serum & Night Cream from Collgen’s anti-ageing range we were eager to give them a try. The serum is designed to dramatically improve the firmness and elasticity of skin by increasing collagen production. While the night cream regenerates and nourishes tired skin. The combination of the two is a match made in heaven! 

Collgen is unique in its use of non-hydrolysed, biologically active type I marine collagen. Interestingly this form of collagen is sourced from the skin of fresh-water fish; it is easier for our skin to absorb due to the low molecular weight. Collgen have discovered that the collagen peptides in the serum also trigger our body’s natural process of collagen production.

The results speak for themselves, our skin feels smoother and fine lines reduced. The serum feels luxurious and cooling on the skin, though due to the natural ingredients there is no scent. Simply massage into the skin after cleansing and toning, then wait for the tightening sensation and results to follow. We loved the use of Aloe Extract and Lemon Balm Extract in the Night Cream, it felt extremely soothing and harmonizing on our stressed skin. Say goodbye to dry patches and hello to beautiful soft, smooth and supple skin!

Just because we get older doesn’t mean we have to look it, pick your Serum & Night Cream up here for £35.     

Siam Botanicals - After Sun Artisan Body Oil

After a long summer of holidays and sun exposure our skin can feel a little stressed. Here at The Amazing Blog, we want to give our skin some much needed TLC. Siam Botanicals have come to the rescue with their After Sun Artisan Body Oil; we had the chance to try this luxurious blend.

Although named an After Sun Oil, the usage doesn’t end there. As well as cooling and moisturising sun damaged skin, it also works as a clarifying massage oil. Siam uses 100% natural botanical oils that are compatible with the skins lipid layer, in plain English it absorbs into the skin quickly. We loved that surprisingly the oil had no greasy texture of residue, it simply provided lasting hydration, nourishment and protection.

Siam Botanicals uses only the finest natural ingredients, free from toxins and impurities. The After Sun Body Oil is made up of the usual blend of authentic Thai oils to make a rich, silky emollient base. But the potent fragrance is created from a combination of Coconut, Peppermint and Tea Tree. The minty scent gives of a soothing and relaxing aroma once melted into the skin, perfect for an evening massage. Their minimalist approach to packaging also lowers their impact on the environment.

If you want to nourish your stressed summer skin with an effective and soothing oil, order yours here for £12.65.

Organique - Endorphin Serum and Rejuvenating Serum

Here at The Amazing Blog, we often find ourselves in need of an energy boost midweek. When our skin needs a little rejuvenating, we reach for Organique’s Rejuvenating Cranberry Serum and Chocolate Endorphin Serum. These two products are just the treat our skin needs to get us through a long week.

If you need a bit of relaxation to regain your energy, the Chocolate Endorphin Serum is the perfect solution. Using a complex called Stimu-Tex®, the Serum improves microcirculation and restores the skin’s lipid barrier. A little goes a long way, and the serum absorbs easily into the skin. After a few minutes, the serum left our skin feeling smooth and soft. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of chocolate? It is hard not to feel relaxed with the smell of cocoa coming from nourished skin.

For a little rejuvenation after relaxation, the Rejuvenating Cranberry Serum is the way to go. This serum uses the ABI Complex to stimulate collagen production and protect skin cells from damage. It also comes with a dose Vitamin C to stimulate skin healing and leave you feeling energised. The Vitamin E in the serum also works for anti-ageing and leaves the skin feeling tightened and strong.

If you feel your skin needs a bit of a boost to make it through the week, Organique’s Chocolate Endorphin Serum is available here and Cranberry Rejuvenating Serum can be bought here for £17.50 each. 

The Konjac Sponge Company - Angel Cloth

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re big fans of cream cleansers. Whether we give our faces a scrub in the shower (guilty as charged) or give our cleansing routine a bit more loving attention, we usually reach for a flannel or muslin cloth to help us along the way. So we were curious when the Original Konjac Angel Cloth from The Konjac Sponge Company landed on our desks, and were excited to see how it compared to our regular cleansing tools.

Looking uncannily like a prawn cracker, we were somewhat bemused by the odd looking cloth. However, when rinsed with water, the cloth relaxes and expands into a soft cleansing square, perfect for use with our favourite products. Rich in minerals and super gentle on the skin, the 100% Natural Vegetable Fibre Face Cloth makes a milder alternative to a muslin cloth, and is extremely kind to the skin. Made from the Japanese Konjac plant, it’s packed with antioxidant properties and, being 100% natural, is more than ideal for sensitive skin. We were surprised by just how soft it was – it’s certainly not what you expect when you see the angel shaped sponge in its packaging.

Turn over a more gentle cleansing leaf with the Original Konjac Angel Cloth. You can buy it here for £11.99.
