Kalis Skincare

With the weather taking a turn for the better (cross your fingers!) you're going to need to pull out your dresses, wedges, shorts, and stock up on suncream! Here at The Amazing Blog we're massive advocates for suncream and making sure your skin is protected from the sun, and Kalis' Ultra Protection Sun Cream will help you get a bronze glow and keep your skin safe. The Kalis Ultra Protection Sun Cream in Factor 50+ (you can never be too careful...), is packed full of ingredients designed to help and protect your skin. Jojoba Oil to moisturise and leave skin soft, Vitamin E to help reduce the appearance of scars, Carnosine to rejuvinate the skin cells, and Fomblin to hydrate the skin. With a lot of high factor sun creams you can sometimes get that tell-tale white coating on your skin but the Kalis cream blends into your skin without a trace, and doesn't have a noticeable fragrance to it. This sun cream protects your skin from both UVA and UVB radiation, and helps prevent premature aging. The Kalis sun range also has a variety of other SPF's, as well as tan activator and aftersun cream, so you can nourish your skin throughout your fun in the sun.

So don't let your skin suffer in the sun this summer and pick up a Kalis Ultra Protection Sun Cream for £17.50, they even deliver free in the UK!

Wild Skincare

Whether your skin is dry from cold weather or air conditioning  (you never know in this British 'summer!') you'll be needing a nice moisturiser to keep your skin looking and feeling luscious. There are so many lotions and potions us girls use on our skin, in the office here at The Amazing Blog we always have a variety of them on hand, and one that has become a staple in our beauty stash is Wild Skincare's body butters. Wild body butters are made using the purest plant and tree ingredients from Africa which are also Fair Trade. This natural skincare brand has a range of products that are good for your skin and the planet. They have 5 unique body butters, Warm Sensual with Shea and Baobab, Romantic with Shea and Marula, Zingy with Grapefruit and Kalahari Watermelon, Extra Hydrating with Shea and Cape Chestnut and my favourite, Sensitive with Aloe and Avocado. I found the body butters really moisturising and quick to absorb - a lot of times body butters will just sit on your skin but the Wild ones sink into your skin and get to work on any dry skin you have. The packaging is really fun and bright, and sure to become a must-have in your beauty cabinet. Instead of relying on the typical Shea Butter and Argan oil to moisturise, Wild body butters also use ingredients like Baobab and Marula oils which have unique benefits to create their products.

So treat your skin to a nourishing all natural boost with one of Wild Skincare's body butters. Wild's body butters and soaps are available on their website.

Natural U

Hopefully, like us, you've been soaking up all the sun you can in London today (we're depending on all of you to keep your fingers crossed so it lasts!). However, your delicate skin may still be feeling the effects of the unseasonably cold weather of recent weeks, and no one wants to have less than luscious skin in this beautiful weather!  So whether it’s a bit of dry skin or something more, The Amazing Blog has found a couple of great body balms for you! Natural U’s two skin balms are little pots of miracle working moisturiser, with loads of uses on your body and face.

Founder Catherine Matthias created the balms after growing tired of seeing all the chemicals used in most moisturisers, packed with unnatural ingredients, which didn’t even seem to work. After blending natural ingredients, she found her eczema started clearing up, and has been selling her range ever since. Their All Purpose Balm is brilliant for dry skin, lips, heels and elbows. You can use it as a night time facial moisturiser, and for eczema – it’s great for sensitive skin. The all natural and organic ingredients in the beauty balms make sure that the best and most raw elements are going into your skin.

Second in the range is my favourite, the Daily Body Rub, it smells just like peppermint and has just as many uses as the All Purpose Balm. With ingredients like shea butter, eucalyptus, tea tree, and beeswax, the Daily Body Rub is great for sore muscles, headaches and tiredness. Use it across your neck, shoulders and temples to get a great natural relief from the daily grind! For each application you really don’t need to use a lot of the balm -  a little goes a long way! The balm absorbs right into your skin, hydrating it and leaving it smooth and soothed.

So whether your skin needs a nice balm occasionally or an intensive moisturiser regularly, Natural U has a body balm for you!

Kalis Skincare

Here at The Amazing Blog, we like nothing more than a casual stroll through the streets of London. And with shops on every street corner, there's always somewhere for us to venture into whether it be for that cute new shirt we've been eyeing up or simply for a frothy cup of coffee. However, while spring looks to be on its way, there can still be a bitter chill in the air, making these walks a bit of a cold business! We have to perfect the art of layering and find a happy medium between frost-bite and hot flushes; certainly not the easiest of tasks! And with misleading rays of sunshine accompanying icy winds, the weather can play havoc with our skin, leaving it dry and irritated. Thankfully, after searching tirelessly, the gang at The Amazing Blog have found a solution.

Kalis Skincare originated in Italy; indeed the Italians have been deeply impressed with this product and having tried it ourselves we can completely understand why! After using this product for the first time, we could not be happier with its results. Adding a much-needed dose of moisture and made up of entirely natural ingredients,  it's a promising change from all the chemically infused skin care products that are on the market these days. In addition, the Kalis Skincare cream is not tested on animals, and doesn't leave you with that oily residue that is often experienced with competing brands. With this product, just a small amount of cream is enough and spreads very easily so we found that even a small jar of Kalis Skincare lasts awhile.

And so, not only does this cream come in handy during these cold winter months, but it doubles as an after-sun lotion so we can look forward to also using it after a soothing summer day in the sun.  Fingers crossed for a piping hot summer!
