Friday Favourites For Younger Looking Eyes

Taking care of your eyes and the delicate skin around them is The Amazing Blog’s number one rule for a younger looking face. Bags, wrinkles and dark circles can all make us look much older than we are, so it is of the utmost importance that we look after this sensitive and telling area.  As such we have created this little post to show you some quick and easy ways you can turn back the clock and bring some brightness back to your beautiful eyes.

The first on our list of handy tips has to be Nuxe who have released three different products in its Nuxelence range.  The first is the multi-award winning Anti-Ageing Night Care which acts as a Detox. This product recharges the skin by repairing mitochondrial DNA and detoxifies cells at night.  The Second product is the Eclat which has a unique anti-ageing formula, with passion flower and Hyaluronic Acid. This product targets skin cells at their core so that they maintain their optimum energy levels. It made skin seem years younger and helped bring back a radiance, which in turn made our eyes appear brighter and shinier.

Finally, there is the Eye Contour, which has an instant perfecting action. The contour has been specially designed to stimulate the unique curves of the eye area. The distinctive metal alloy applicator enables the exact right amount of product to be deposited onto the skin, as well as immediately help to give a refreshing and decongesting sensation that brightens the eye area.  The Eye Contour has a unique blur technology and contains light-reflecting golden pearly particles to help illuminate the eye area. The three in one treatment, which has an astounding ten patents, reduced visible signs of fatigue and ageing in only four weeks!

If you don't believe us, then you only have to look at the extensive research that Nuxe has carried out examining the effectiveness of their product. 90% of women found that the luminosity of their eye area was brightened, 84% found that the contour area was smoothed, 77% said they looked younger, and dark regions were reduced for 81% of women using the system. These are products that have been proven by women for women

Unfortunately, as we age our hair begins to thin, and this includes our lashes and brows which can become patchy and grow sparse. It’s such an apparent tell-tale sign of the ageing process, but seems to be one most forgotten. However, by using the Lash and Brow Conditioning Serum by Nouveau Lashes, you can give a fuller appearance to both your eyebrows and your eyelashes.

The product can achieve these amazing results because of its complex blend of multi-vitamins and conditioning actives. The serum also contains strong anti-oxidants which help defend the delicate hairs from damaging factors such as pollution. If immediate effects aren’t enough to persuade you to buy this fantastic product then maybe the fact that it acts as an unrivaled primer before applying mascara will. The conditioning effects help to pre-lengthen the lashes and help exaggerate the impact of everyday mascara.

Now, for a temporary fix as well as longer-term benefits to your skin, you have to try Fabulift Fabulous Eyes and their Advanced Serum. The serum helps to soften and eradicate lines around the eyes.  The serum contains two key ingredients that help to plump, smooth and diminish unwanted wrinkles. Peptide complexes, Argireline and Syn-ake, directly target expression lines and help to soften them up. Hyaluronic Acid helps to plump skin and reduce the look of lines due to its moisture retaining properties.

It couldn’t be simpler to use, you just have to apply a small amount onto your finger, roughly the size of a grain of rice, and dab it gently into freshly cleansed and dry skin surrounding the eye. This product is a real miracle worker it provides amazing results in an instant. Try it, your eyes will thank you.

You can purchase the Advanced Serum here for £29.99 and say goodbye to crow’s feet. It’s honestly like botox in a bottle.

With these amazing eyes products in your skincare collection, you are guaranteed to finally have the radiant, younger-looking and healthy eyes you have always wanted. All of the products are easy to use and will definitely perfect your skincare routine.

Detox Face Scrub and Firm & Protect Serum By STOER Skincare For Men

STOER Skincare For Men tackles both ends of the skincare spectrum from dryness and irritation to oiliness and breakouts. STOER believes that all skin concerns are a result of environmental factors, whether you live in a windy rural town or a polluted populated city. The skincare range contains high-tech but easy-to-use products that act as a defence shield for men’s skin.

Active ingredients help to protect the skin from outdoor aggressors such as pollution and adverse weather, as well as indoor aggressors like central heating and air conditioning. The Clima5 Technology is STOER’s unique formula of five plant ingredients from four extremely different climates. These globally-sourced natural extracts consist of Scotland’s peat moss (for hydration), Italy’s alpine plant (for elasticity), West Africa’s baobab leaf (anti-ageing), Japan’s wakame (increases collagen and oxygen) and Mexican barbary fig (soothing and hydrating). STOER’s Firm & Protect Serum is made up of these ingredients, delivering intense hydration and collagen production that is easily absorbed, leaving a matte finish on the skin.

STOER’s Detox Face Scrub works to smooth out the skin, exfoliating the surface for a brighter appearance.

24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream and Rejuvenating Herbal Elixir from Kypwell.

At The Amazing Blog, we wish we were holidaying in Cyprus instead of enduring the English autumn, however with Kypwell products you bring Cyprus into your skincare. Their products are based on locally grown herbs and the Cyprian lifestyle. With an inherent respect for nature and belief in holistic beauty, Kypwell products are free from parabens, mineral oils, GMO, synthetic fragrances, colours, silicons, and harsh chemicals. Hopefully, that sounds as impressive to you as it did to us. Also, all their skincare products are PETA certified, vegan and not tested on animals. At The Amazing Blog, we got our hands on the Kypwell 24 hour Multi-action Balancing Cream for oily/combination skin and Kypwell Rejuvenating Herbal Elixir for normal/dry skin and oily/combination skin.

Kypwell's 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream uses a specialist blend of herbs and herbal extracts including yarrow, agrimonium, betula, althaea, elder, geranium, and rose to regulate oiliness in the skin, provide anti-inflammatory agents and tone the skin. Oily skin readers should note that even with oily skin, moisturising is key to good skin, so the 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream also maintains skin hydration. The 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream is also available in a formula for normal/dry skin which rejuvenates the skin's collagen and contains UV and pollen protection.

The Rejuvenating Herbal Elixir is also available in two formulas; normal/dry and oily/combination. We tried the normal/dry formula which provides a deep hydration and increases skin's elasticity. Enriched with borage, jojoba, avocado, grape-seed and apricot oils the elixir improves water circulation through layers of the skin, reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and increases the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Apply 1-2 pumps to face prior to moisturising with the 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream and watch it take instant effect.

The Kypwell products come in recyclable packaging, airtight to preserve the natural ingredients inside. You can find the 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream (50ml) here for £57.99, and the Rejuvinating Herbal Elixir (30ml) here for £68.70. 

Skincare Feature: Flora Mare by Asam Beauty

It is said that the best mornings start with an exceptional skincare routine. At The Amazing Blog we couldn’t agree more, especially after we experienced the Flora Mare by Asam Beauty products. The company is an innovative skincare brand that formulates their skincare products with anti-ageing ingredients, sea minerals and plant extracts. We were lucky enough to try out four of them.

One of our favourite product is the Day and Night cream, which is not surprising as it is one of the brand’s bestsellers. The cream is enriched with advanced sea minerals such as platinum-mare complex, omega 3, 6 and 9 as well as highly nutritive plant extracts including argan oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil, apricot kernel and aster maritima. The cream is a universal product that is designed to suit all skin types. Its refreshing and nourishing properties repair, pamper and leave the skin velvety- soft. The Day and Night cream is definitively a must-have skincare product to anyone who wishes to look fabulous day and night.

Did I just say that we loved the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream, well then we adored the Brightening Moment eye cream. This moisturising eye cream unlike any other cares and enhances your skin. Formulated with sea and maritime plants ingredients it deeply nourishes the skin, and reduces the visibility of dark circles and redness around the eyes. As well as concealing imperfections and illuminating the eyes the cream can also be used as a base for eyeshadows. When applied the Brightening Moment eye cream gives you an all-natural, healthy and glowy look. It is the perfect beauty product to use in your morning routine as it instantly gives you a wide awake and radiant look. Simply amazing! 

Ocean Elixir such an inspiring and promising name. This moisturising face serum is a real treat for the skin. Like the brand’s other products it is made with the Flora Mare unique recipe and ingredients including concentrated sea minerals and trace elements that instantly provide the hydration the skin needs. The consistency of the serum is very light; it spreads evenly on the skin and gives you a youthful radiance.

When we think about beauty and skincare, we tend to give great importance to the face and often neglect other parts of our body like the hands. Yes, the hands they are one of the most visible parts of our wonderful body, and they deserve as much attention as the face. Flora Mare took all the essential minerals out of the ocean and created a hand cream that has all the ingredients to make your hands look gorgeous. Not only the hand cream nourishes and hydrates the hands it is also a fabulous anti-ageing treatment that reduces the appearance of hand pigmentation and revitalises the skin.

Purchase the Day and Night cream here for £26.50; the eye cream can be purchased here for £15. If you want to experience a bit of Ocean Elixir it is available here for £23.00 and two piece hand cream duo can be purchased here for £22.50.

Argan & Orange Blossom Elixir by SoapNSkin

At The Amazing Blog, we think that everyone needs a go-to product. For us, our number one go-to beauty product is the handmade Argan and Orange Blossom Elixir from SoapNSkin, which is as versatile as it is effective. We cannot live without this product, it is 100% natural, effective on all skin types and can be used on your face, body and hair. Before we discuss the many ways you can use this product and the reasons behind its versatility, we have to tell you a little about SoapNSkin, which is one of our favourite brands. Founded by two mothers, SoapNSkin aims to empower women in any way they can, so not only is their Argan Oil Soil Association Certified, but it is also sourced from a supplier that is dedicated to looking after 600 Berber women that it has employed at its mill. This supplier only employs women and pays them a fair wage as they are often the sole supporters of their families, as well as providing free crèche facilities and education programmes.

Made with ethically sourced organic Argan Oil and Orange Blossom Oil, this beautifully fragranced elixir has a multitude of uses. This is because the Argan Oil moisturises, heals and renews lost vitality in skin and hair, while the Orange Blossom Oil helps to create an enviable glow. The ingredients are packed full of Vitamins A and E, Omega Fatty Acids and anti-oxidants which mean that your skin doesn’t just look better but is actually healthier on a cellular level.

To use this on your face, we would recommend gently massaging a few drops into freshly cleansed skin. The Argan oil is non-comedogenic which means it won’t clog up pores but will leave skin looking more radiant than ever. If you want to heal dry or damaged skin on your body – which can especially occur in the winter months – then we suggest applying the elixir directly to areas of concern and watch skin heal within days. Otherwise merely apply after showering for softer skin. Our favourite use for the elixir has to be when it’s used on hair.  If applied like a serum it will help to control frizz and leave hair glossy, but it also will soften hair and treat an unruly scalp if used as a leave-in conditioning treatment before showering.

We love this product and brand and hope you do too. The product only costs £42.00 and can be purchased here. All profits made from selling the elixir are given back to the communities who help mill the Argan Oil.
