Manuka Cleanser & Manuka Hand and Body Cream - Natural Being

Manuka Honey is usually in our go to list of ingredients for our skin care routine. Here at The Amazing Blog we had the chance to try a couple of Natural Being products formulated with Manuka Honey and we loved them!

Out of the 9 products in the range, we have tested the Manuka Cleanser and the Manuka Hand and Body Cream. They are both formulated with authentic, certified and natural Manuka Honey. This active honey possesses strong antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, it is rich in anti-aging antioxidants and naturally hydrates, protects and rejuvenates the skin.

The cleanser has a gentle and creamy texture that left us with a clear and refreshed skin and without a dehydrated feeling. The Manuka Honey helps soothing and maintains moisture, added to the Manuka Oil that ensures skin is clean and glossy. The cream works as an all-over moisturiser also infused with botanical oils. When we tried it, we definitely loved how easily it absorbed into our skin, leaving it soft and protected.

If you also enjoy Manuka Honey in your skin care, you can get the Natural Being cleanser here for £13, the cream here for £13.50; or any other products from its range here.

Nurture Body Oil and Refresh Lip Balm - Ermana

At The Amazing Blog, we understand what it’s like to have a hectic work life, so sometimes we like to use extra-relaxing products at the end of the night. Ermana combine the best of what Mother Nature has to offer to make natural skincare products that can be used for aromatherapy and enhancing overall well-being. We were very excited to receive the Nurture Body Oil and Refresh Lip Balm and to experience their soothing properties.

All you need to do is massage a few drops all over the body or on problem areas after a bath/shower. It is suitable for all skin types and especially beneficial to those with dry skin. The Refresh Lip Balm is made from a blend of cocoa, Shea, and coconut butters for soothing and healing dry, chapped lips. It’s infused with pure grapefruit essential oil for a refreshing scent.

Acne Control Mask by Kris D'Amour

Everybody knows how this changing and unstable weather can dry out our skin. Here at The Amazing Blog we are also aware that it can create problems with blemishes and acne. Kris D’Amour has a great solution with the new Detoxifying Acne Control Mask.

At first, we were surprised to see that this mask has a powder consistency. The magic happens when it's combined with some water and it turns into a paste that you can easily apply onto your skin!
Once we put it on our faces we were able to forget about the world and had 15 minutes of genuine relaxation. Its texture is soft and light, different from other anti-acne products that tend to dry your skin even more. This is a result of its alcohol-free, paraben-free, and synthetic fragrance-free composition. The calming power of chamomile and calendula fights against redness and blemishes, and the presence of acai berry- with its antioxidant properties- gives elasticity to our skin and makes this mask perfect even for mature complexions. The cranberry extract adds a slightly sweet scent to the product that reminds us of honey. It also has a touch of mango that acts as moisturiser whilst protecting us against UV rays. What else could we ask for?

You can either get a 10ml jar for only £3.00 or if you are ready for a long-term beneficial treatment for your skin, you can always go for the 100ml jar for £24.99. Both are available here.

Lychee Sorbet Collection by Heathcote & Ivory for Accessorize

After a harsh, cold bout of weather, our hands and lips are still feeling a bit worse for wear as spring arrives. Here at The Amazing Blog, we know it’s important to protect them, so we’re excited to treat them to Lychee Sorbet – Travel Hand Creams and Lip Balm by Heathcote & Ivory for Accessorize.

Formulated with Shea Butter, Beeswax, Vitamin E, Cocoa Butter and Coconut Oil, the Lychee Sorbet Travel Hand Cream has a pleasant, rich, and smooth texture that doesn’t leave a greasy film on the skin. Our hands feel moisturised and deeply nourished with a sensation of freshness and suppleness to our skin all day long. We especially love the fruity fragrance of Blossom, Lily, Amber and Sweet Orange, which reminds us that after winter comes springtime. Another bonus is the lovely packaging accessorised with a clip to personalise bags, belts, wallets or pencil cases; the handy size is just so convenient! The Lip Balm is also great for protecting our lips. Rich in protective Beeswax, hydrating Coconut oil, and cooling Menthol, it leaves a shiny gloss finish and an impressive sensation of freshness a long time after its application.
