Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm - Nuxe

Here at The Amazing Blog, we always make sure that we care for our lips and ensure that they don't dry out during the Winter. We have recently discovered a miracle product to take our lipcare to the next level, and it comes from one of our all time favourite brands, Nuxe.

In the swathes of great products you can find at Nuxe, there is the multi-award winner Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm. This balm is the rescue solution to any dry or damaged lips. It contains 79.5% natural ingredients such as Sunflower Oil, Rosehip, and Sweet Almond Oil which give it a rich and hydrating texture. Honey is the star ingredient in the balm - it gives a rich colour, a delicate smell and excellent healing properties to the balm.

This lip balm has been created to nourish, repair, soothe, and protect your lips from any external aggressors. We suggest using it daily to preserve the nourishment it gives to the lips, and. we love to apply a thick layer before going to bed at night for an added hit of hydration.

Like most of Nuxe's products, the Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm is paraben-free and non-comedogenic. Moreover, Nuxe contributes to the protection of bees by sponsoring beehives and using honey in an ethical and responsible way.

Give your lips the sweetest treatment with the Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm by Nuxe here for £9.50.  

Purifying Range - Skinician

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love when brands truly know how to treat our skin properly. Skinician is a science-led brand that creates bespoke skincare solutions and does not subscribe to the "one range suits all" method. For that reason, we were glad to receive their Purifying Range, a collection of products targeted to balance and tone the skin.

We started with the Purifying Cleansing Gel. The cleanser contains Chamomile, Grape Seed oil and Green tea extracts, which effectively cleanse and soothe the skin. To balance and regenerate your skin, gently massage the cleanser in and rinse with water. Use the cleanser twice a day.

The next stage is the Purifying Toner. This works to diminish oils, impurities and cleanse the face thoroughly. The different ingredients such as Horse Chestnut Seed, Vitamin C and Collagen are combined to hydrate and mattify the skin. Together they have an antioxidant and firming action while brightening your skin at the same time. Place the lotion on a cotton pad and work the product into your cleansed face, avoiding the eye area.

We ended the routine with the Purifying Active Moisturiser. This product uses a combination of Cocoa and Shea Butter, with Vitamin C to rejuvenate the skin.  Use the moisturiser after the cleanser and toner to experience how quickly it sinks in, leaving no residue. The product will leave your skin soft, smooth and ready to face a busy day. 

For an added boost, you can use the Purifying Mask once a week to eliminate dead cells and toxic external irritants as well as firming your skin. Green Clay, Shea butter and Japanese seaweed work together brilliantly to revitalise the skin. Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes to experience the benefits and to fully nourish the skin.

To try these products for yourself, purchase the Purifying Cleansing Gel for £19.60, the Purifying Toner for £19.60, the Purifying Active Moisturiser for £23.00 and the Purifying Mask for £25.25 here at Skinician.

These vitamins also act with an incredible ingredient called DIM, which is a clever plant compound that has been patented.  

These supplements come in sachets of 60, 120, or 180 capsules and are formulated with nutrients that contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and collagen formation. It is recommended that you start with two capsules twice a day for at least 14 weeks to get maximum results.

Bath Feature - Friday Favourites

As usual, the new year brings with it the cold chill of Winter, and sometimes the only cure for the gloomy weather is to stay inside for a cosy night in. The ultimate winter warmer? A bath! Here at The Amazing Blog we adore using products to make our baths more luxurious and relaxing. Here we've gathered our favourite bath products to perfect your bathing routine.

The first option is a natural treatment by the brand Oat Soak, this product is a bath treatment made from colloidal oats. Oats are a great treatment for soothing itchy skin and restoring smoothness. However, raw oats aren't the easiest thing to add to a routine, which is why Skin Shop has developed a solution.

Oat Soak is made from a finer form of oats, making Oat Soak a pleasant spa treatment in your own home. We recommend sprinkling the oats into your bath tub whilst running the water and separate this evenly and then soak for 15-20 minutes. To achieve best results use this product once a week and your skin will regain moisture and strength.

For a relaxing bath treatment at home grab this product here for £1.95.
