Facial Masks – Friday Favourites

Here at The Amazing Blog, we think that luxurious facials are the ultimate in spa treatments. However, we can’t always make it to the salon! That is why we thought it would be a good idea to share our favourite facial masks, to help you to get inspired for your next at-home pampering session. Hair up, robes on, it’s time for a girls night in.

Glamglow’s Supermud is a mask for the girls and the boys! This clarifying mud mask aims to clear skin, treat skin issues such as blemishes and reduce the size of pores. Apply a thin layer onto the face and leave on for 5 to 20 minutes. The mask can also be used as a spot treatment by limiting the application to trouble areas.

Get your glow on with Glamglow Supermud, available here for £45.

The Splendieuse Masque from Nuxe is a sheet mask that leaves skin looking radiant within its 10 minutes of use, whilst also reducing the appearance of lines and spots after continuous use. Apply one or twice a week for the best outcome. This mask also smells lovely, with the scent of white rose, star lily and porcelain rose.

Find your way to smoother, more radiant skin with Nuxe, available here at £30 for 6 sheet masks.

Innarah’s Defense Masque detoxifies and cleans, resulting in a softer and more hydrated complexion. This masque also has anti-bacterial properties so will limit the damage caused by free-radicals. Put a generous amount on your face and neck, leaving for up to 30 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water. Suitable for all skin types, it can be used up to twice a week, or daily for oily skin.

Fig & Frangipani Body Custard and Body Scrub Smoothie – Schmoo Skincare

Here at The Amazing Blog, we do not advocate the eating of beauty products, for obvious reasons. However, when we received Schmoo Skincare’s Fig & Frangipani Body Scrub Smoothie and Body Custard they smelt good enough to eat, we had to remind ourselves it was for our skin.

Schmoo Skincare’s Fig & Frangipani Body Scrub Smoothie is a creamy, organic smoothie for your body, with the benefits of natural fruit extracts. With a combination of cream soap and exfoliating brown sugar and fruit seeds, this product provides a luxuriously rich scrub that will leave the sweet scent of figs and frangipani lingering on your skin. Also available in Cranberry & Pomegranate, so you can mix things up a bit every now and then. To follow your body scrub, nourish your skin with a lathering of Schmoo Body Custard for the full pamper package. Available in both Cranberry & Pomegranate and Fig & Frangipani, you are bound to find the right scent for you, or if you are like us you will love both. Shea Butter and olive, avocado, coconut and macadamia oils provide moisturising properties to nourish the skin, whilst the Cranberry & Pomegranate also stimulates the renewal of skin cells through naturally occurring antioxidants in the fruit and the Fig & Frangipani offers anti-inflammatory effects via the frangipani extract. A perfect moisturiser to follow a thorough skin exfoliation with Schmoo’s Body Scrub Smoothie or simply as part of your daily skin care routine.

Show your skin some love with Schmoo's natural and organic skincare, with the Scrub here for £28 and the Custard here for £28.  

Creative Energy Candles

We at The Amazing Blog are great fans of fragranced candles and, of course, we also love skincare. But we have never tried something like Creative Energy, a product that offers a 2-in 1 treatment: a candle that is also a fabulous anti-ageing body lotion!

If you’re looking for something a little more unique, Creative Energy Candles are organic hand-poured soy candles that melt to fill your home with delicious aromas, but also serve as ultra-moisturising body lotions that are suitable for all skin types. The soy and coconut oil blend feature natural anti-aging properties and the healthy moisturising effects of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins A, E, and K. The Citrus Basil and Wild Mint Candle and the French Fig and Amber Candle will put a spring in your step just in time for the warmer months. If you prefer spicier, warm scents, be sure to try out the Spiced Pomegranate Candle. To use the 2-in-1 candles as a lotion, just pour a small amount of the melted wax into your hands and massage gently into the skin.

Try out these original multi-purpose candles by checking out your local Wholefoods for a selection or purchasing online here in a variety of prices and sizes.
