PHB Ethical Beauty - Skin Brighten Gel

Here at The Amazing Blog we feel at our best when our skin is bright and radiant, and it often seems like the only way to achieve this is after a trip to the salon. We understand that for most people this just isn’t feasible. Plus, let’s be honest, we want beautiful radiant skin at all times! However, we believe we’ve found a product up to the job - PHB Ethical Beauty's handmade Skin Brighten Gel for face and body.

The gel is specially formulated with Neroli, Licorice and Immortelle to give us brighter looking and even skin. Neroli is rich in Vitamin C, which helps to reduce darks spots and discolouration. Immortelle is fantastic for its regenerative properties, and encourages clear and radiant skin. Last but not least, Licorice is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, so it helps to soothe and even the skin tone. It's evident that each natural ingredient is sourced with real thought and care, and the combination of all the ingredients works to target specific areas of the skin, making it a real powerhouse product.

We definitely feel this is a multipurpose product that everyone should have in their skincare collection. The gel has a jelly-like consistency, and a little of this product goes a long way. It has the most beautiful floral scent that melts into the skin, with no sticky residue, and will leave your skin feeling super soft to the touch. What's more, once soaked in, it gives the skin a subtle sheen that acts as a stunning natural highlight.

If you want the kind of skin radiance that dreams are made of, get your gel here for £13.75.

001 Skincare - Ultimate Renewal Serum Duo

Here at The Amazing Blog we love a bit of luxury in our skincare regime, so it was no surprise that we were ecstatic at the thought of trying 001 Skincare’s Ultimate Renewal Serum Duo. One of their new Explorer Kits, this duo is the ultimate skin set for nourishing, hydrating and renewing all skin types. It is particularly effective at rejuvenating mature, dry or damaged skin. We assure you, you’ll feel like a new woman!

The two serums, Intensive Elixir and the Active Marine Power Concentrate, are designed to promote healthy, balanced and radiant skin. The Elixir is an oil based serum made up of 7 bio-dynamic and essential oils, 4 pure plant extracts and just a hint of Vitamin E. It seems unbelievable that just a few drops of this magic elixir hold so much nourishment for the skin. We loved the silky texture and beautifully floral scent that came from the Rose Absolute. Since using this elixir our skin has felt firmer, moisturised and those dreaded dark spots have faded dramatically.

The Concentrate, on the other hand, is an Algae based serum designed to intensely repair environmental damage and brighten the complexion. The super concentrate is packed with a series of antioxidants, CQ10, Multi-Citrus actives, Raspberry, Green Tea and Vitamin C. Deep, effective nourishment seems to be pattern in 001 Skincare. After using the concentrate, our skin is simply glowing and it’s given a stunning collagen-plumping effect. In conjunction with the elixir, we are in skincare heaven. The beautifully packaged Explorer Kit even includes a vibrant, gold sequin makeup bag with a satin lining. The whole package screams luxury and indulgence.

What Skin Needs

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love nothing more than a healthy dewy complexion. Unfortunately with winter approaching dryness and damage will likely be on the menu. We feel that the What Skin Needs’ Skin Balm is the answer to our skin problems.  What Skin Needs focuses on providing us with a combination of the finest natural ingredients to create intensive skincare solutions. We couldn’t wait to try this out for ourselves.

The Skin Balm is a thick, fragrant cream that absorbs within seconds. There is no greasy residue that leaves you feeling like you’ve just bathed in oil. The Balm is extremely moisturising and hydrating, but the star of the show in this product is the Plantolin extract. This is what makes the Skin Balm the new Holy Grail for sensitive skin. It is applauded for its soothing and repairing abilities, and encourages skin renewal to keep future skin healthy.

The balm ensured that we had no dry or damaged skin throughout our time using it; we loved the quick absorption that meant we could apply as and when we needed it. After a few applications we were left with beautiful soft skin without the hassle. Sensitive skin can breathe a sigh of relief as the cream is both gentle and effective.

Dermacoll - Anti aging Supplement

Here at The Amazing Blog, we have come across countless anti-ageing creams and serums. Yet we believe the effectiveness of these products can only extend so far, there is a brand new way to turn back the clock. Dermacoll have introduced a break-through Anti-Ageing Supplement, taking ingestible collagen absorbs far quicker into the body than simply layering it on our skin.

The supplement stimulates metabolism and production of collagen directly from inside; we were excited to see if this is indeed more effective than other leading skincare brands. It contains Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen, Vitamin C, Green Tea Powder and Hyaluronic Acid which further promotes collagen production. Dermacoll promises hydrated skin, reduced appearance of lines, improved elasticity, healthy hair and nails and even reduction in cellulite.

After 4 to 6 weeks of using it the results speak for itself, our skin felt plump and deeply hydrated, this reduced any fine lines and gave our skin a healthy glow. After years of religiously applying cream after cream we are ecstatic to have found a product that really works. It was a super quick and easy addition to our beauty regime, mix a scoop into water or juice of your choice. Each Dermacoll contains enough product for a month of beautiful, ageless skin.

Queen of the Hive Face Cream

No doubt everyone has heard of, or participated in, the contour craze that recently took over the beauty world. Just when we thought that contouring was reserved purely for our make-up kits, here at The Amazing Blog we discovered that Wedderspoon have created a Face Contour Cream as part of their Queen of the Hive Organic Skincare range. The cream is designed to firm and plump your skin to accentuate the natural contours of the face, highlighting these natural contours without the need for make-up.

The essential components of the cream are Manuka Honey for nourishment and intense hydration of the skin, and Bee Venom, which is extracted humanely, to increase blood flow and stimulate collagen production to keep skin firm. Wedderspoon make the quality of their ingredients a top priority, ensuring that they are from either organic or natural sources. 

The packaging fits with their natural theme, the lid being made from wood, with the stylish glass pot displaying the neutral / natural coloured cream. It looks clean, chic and high quality. We loved the sweet, fragrant scent (vaguely reminiscent of Turkish delight) and how the cream soaked into the skin quickly and left it extremely soft to the touch. We experienced no skin irritation, but obviously those with bee venom allergies should not use this product.
