Brighten Microdermabrasion System - DermaTx

We all know that exfoliation is one of the most steps to keeping your complexion radiant and glowing. Here at The Amazing Blog, we were lucky enough to receive an at-home microdermabrasion system that helps us polish away dead and dull skin cells to reveal younger looking, brighter skin.

The Brighten Microdermabrasion Treatment System from DermaTx brings professional-looking results into the home. The Brighten system we tried consists of a Cleanse and Exfoliate 2-in-1 handheld device and a microdermabrasion cream containing professional grade corundum crystals and natural brightening agents. It is designed to improve uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, and ageing skin. The Skin Resurfacing Tool comes with two interchangeable attachment heads—a foam one for exfoliating (with the included cream), and a brush for daily cleansing. The foam head helps gently massage the crystals into the skin to gently exfoliate while enabling the active brightening agents to be absorbed more easily. Using it 1-2 times per week will get you the optimal results. The brush head can be used with your daily facial cleanser to help gently loosen dirt and oil to clear your pores. It has been proven that cleansing with a powered device is up to 4x more effective than just using your hands! Using this system regularly will leave you with a radiant and healthy complexion.

Soothing Body Lotion – Urban Veda


Here at The Amazing Blog we love to nurture our skin with products that use ingredients in their most natural state. That is why we always get school-girl giddy when a new natural skin care product arrives at our door.

Urban Veda is developed upon ancient Ayurvedic principles, in which the treatment of skin is guided by the belief that each person belongs to one of three ‘doshas’. Each dosha presents different skin characteristics, so Urban Veda has formulated their products to target the skin troubles suffered by each skin type. As summer sets in we are thankful to have received the Soothing Body Lotion to help treat our dry, winter-trodden skin before we needed to begin donning our sandals and summer dresses.  With Sandalwood, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, the body lotion also increases the skin’s suppleness, whilst rehydrating dryness and calming the mind and body.  

The perfect after bathing moisturiser, the Soothing Body Lotion will have you feeling calm and ready for a sound night’s sleep. Find this product for £14.99, alongside the complete Urban Veda range here.

Skin Rejuvenating Eye Mask – iluminage Beauty

Here at The Amazing Blog we appreciate the importance of beauty sleep. So, any product that offers to help this process along is very appealing to us! For that reason, when the Skin Rejuvenating Eye Mask arrived from iluminage Beauty we were very excited to add the mask to our nightly sleep routine. 

In addition to shielding the eyes from light and aiding in restful sleep, the mask has the ability to minimise the signs of aging. Made using thread that contains copper oxide, the mask has been proven to improve the appearance of the skin within only one month, with continued affect after prolonged use. Assisting in the renewal of skin cells and the growth of proteins in the skin, copper can help to enhance the benefits of a good nights sleep.   

If you’d like to discover the affects of the Skin Rejuvenating Eye Mask for yourself, then visit the Harrods website where the mask is available for £25.

Huile Prodigieuse - Nuxe

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love all-in-one products, so you can imagine how excited we were when we had the chance to try the Huile Prodigieuse from Nuxe; an oil that you can apply onto your face, body and hair.

This multi-purpose dry oil promises to nourish, repair and soften our hair and skin.  Blended with Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borage, Almond, Camellia and St. John’s Wort plant oils, this dry oil can be used in so many different ways! You can use it as a normal moisturiser or add a little bit to your foundation, you can also spray it into your hair before blow-drying it for a great shiny finish, apply it as a massage oil, put a few drops for a relaxing bath or even  as an after-sun product to deeply repair and nourish the skin. Lots of amazing options for just one product, right? Its surprisingly non-greasy texture absorbed very quickly and left a gorgeous satin finish on our skin. We also love how it smells, as it features the signature scent of Nuxe that we have just recently reviewed here.

Grab the multi-purpose dry oil Huile Prodigieuse here for £17 (50ml) or £28 (100ml).
