Face Oil, Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Anti-Ageing Cream & Eye Balm - Antique Apothecary

Here at The Amazing Blog, we have been searching for a miracle: we’d like to go back in time and recover our youthful glow. That however, is virtually impossible unless we travel to Neverland. So instead we have found Antique Apothecary to take us one step closer to our dream.

Handmade with love and care, Antique Apothecary has created an Anti-Ageing range with 100% natural products designed to help your skin looking healthy and naturally beautiful. We were sent four different products: Anti-Ageing Herbal Cleansing Face Oil, Rose Otto & Frankincense Dream Revitalising Anti-wrinkle Herbal Cream, Royal Orchid & Helichrysum italicum Total Renewal & Anti-Ageing Herbal Cream, and Ultimate Eye Balm, and all of them were fantastic!

The Ultimate Eye Balm is applied once every morning to help protect the sensitive area around your eyes whilst removing dark under-eye circles. The Rose Otto & Frankincense Dream Revitalising Anti-wrinkle Herbal Cream is applied in the evening to help reduce fine lines and plump your skin, adding nourishment and moisture to restore your youthful glow while you get your beauty sleep. For best results, apply the Royal Orchid & Helichrysum italicum Total Renewal & Anti-Ageing Herbal Cream in the morning before applying any makeup.  With age-defying power from a special ingredient called Royal Orchid, this cream will firm and hydrate your skin. We loved the light floral fragrance that lingered after appliance as well. Our favourite product of the bunch has to be the Anti-Ageing Herbal Cleansing Face Oil, which cleanses, nourishes, and protects the skin all in one.  We love that the cleansing oil uses 100% vegetable ingredients, making it vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Organic Seaweed Skincare by Seavite

Here at The Amazing Blog, we are always searching for new and innovative products that live up to their benefits labels. Our latest find is Seavite skincare, which uses pure botanicals and seaweed extracts to transform your skin back to its youthful glow. We now have found Disney Ariel’s beauty secret to gorgeous skin!

We were sent Seavite Organic Seaweed Moisturising & Replenishing Face Creme, Hydrating Anti-ageing Lotion, and Hydrating and Soothing Toner, and the luxurious packaging instantly caught our eye. To give you a quick science lesson, seaweed produces two components when hydrolyzed: Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides—both hydrate and replenish the skin whilst strengthening the skin barrier and destroying harmful enzymes. By using Seavite, you will also benefit from anti-ageing properties and UV protection. Best of all, the products work well for all skin types! Our favourite product was the organic seaweed face crème, which left our skin feeling soft, supple, and ready for the week ahead. We promise there's no seaweed smell either!

For that youthful glow, get your Seavite Products here and on Amazon ranging from £14 - £38.19. 

Exuviance – Optilight All-Over Dark Spot Minimizer

Here at The Amazing Blog, we look back fondly at summers gone by. We don’t, however, like for our skin to carry constant reminders of a little too much time spent in the sun. For this reason, we’re so pleased to be able to erase the sins of summer with the OptiLight All-Over Dark Spot Minimizer from Exuviance.

The perfect facial treatment for winding back the clock, this creamy lotion makes a wonderful moisturiser, whilst it helps to correct and prevent dark spots. Upon application, we noticed an immediate glow to our complexion, instantly making us look more alert and youthful, and who can say no to that?  Patented ingredient, NeoGlucosamine, which helps to break up existing dark spots, isn’t the only super ingredient in this elixir. It also contains two powerful brighteners, B-Resorcinol and Turmeric, known for their abilities to reduce hyper-pigmentation, as well as trusty Vitamin E and Grape Seed Extract—the perfect concoction for a flawless complexion. The slight scent of sunscreen, certainly has us reminiscing about sunnier days, and with an added SFP 25, we can make sure that those pesky dark spots never reappear.

Keep your skin looking healthy and youthful with this wonder cream. Pick it up here  for £43.

ELLI Organic Beauty Range

We at The Amazing Blog like to be environmental friendly, and when we discovered the ELLI Organic Beauty Range, we were delighted that they shared the same ethical values. Produced by Herbs-Aplenty, this brand explores the spirit of Africa with its all-natural and multi-purpose beauty range. The products are inspired by the mountains, valleys, and deserts of Africa that are home to unique plant kingdoms with therapeutic properties.

We have already experimented a few of the products for you. One of our favourites is the citrus-scented Lip Balm, enriched with a nourishing blend of Shea butter, Marula oil, and Jojoba oil to illuminate your smile. For those unexpected skin irritations that appear just in time for special occasions, ELLI offers a spot balm with relieving natural anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. This multi-purpose balm also serves as a natural deodorant and insect repellent.

What truly sets ELLI apart from other natural products is the emphasis of traditional African culture and dedication to sustainability. The range is made entirely of certified organic ingredients, and the essential oils are harvested and processed on their own farm to ensure quality control.

Sapooni - Salty Seaweed Body Polish

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re all about championing smaller, artisan brands. It seems as though the skincare market is so saturated with companies claiming to be perfectly organic, or promising unbelievable results that they just can’t deliver. So we’re always delighted when we find a diamond in the rough; an independent brand that shines through. Our most recent love is Sapooni, a natural, handmade brand from Cornwall.

With a huge range of products to choose from, there really is something for everyone in the range. The Mucky Men collection contains all natural products, formulated especially for men who work outside. The range includes a Moustache & Beard Balm, and Hand Cream to name but a few, and all contain the most nourishing ingredients, perfect for caring for your skin. They have also formulated an aptly named Teenage Dirtbag range, which is perfect for teens prone to blackheads and breakouts. Their Teenage Dirtbag Soap is formulated to draw out excess oil and dirt, as well as including natural antiseptics, tea tree and arnica. It’s super gentle, so you can use it daily to help combat those pesky spots.

Last but not least, we tried some wonderful products from Sapooni’s Seaweed Range, and fell in love. Packed with minerals and vitamins, seaweed is an amazing skin detoxer. We particularly liked the Salty Seaweed Body Polish. Clearly packaged with care, the elegant glass jar looks great on the bathroom shelf. Sea Salt acts as a great exfoliating base, and is combined with intensely moisturising components like Mango Butter, Olive and Sweet Almond Oil, making it such a decadent treat for your skin. And with seaweed that’s hand-harvested from the Cornish coast, we can’t help but think about our wonderful jaunts to the seaside every time we use it.

Grab yourself a Salty Seaweed Body Polish Kilner Jar here for £18, and check out all of the homegrown products that Sapooni has to offer here.
