Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to review products that we think will become staple items in your beauty cabinet. Sometimes we come across items that we know will be fast favourites, and if you suffer from dry or irritated skin then we think you'll love Selexir's Peace Balm. This luxurious cream is the perfect treatment balm for sensitive skin. Whilst I don't have extremely dry skin, like a lot of people I definitely have dry patches on parts of my body. I don't know about you but my elbows and knees just never seem to get moisturised! Selexir's Peace Balm is a great rescue remedy that soothes distressed, irritated and sensitive skin which can be applied to the face, ears, neck, hands and elbows as often as you need. It's packed with 21 concentrated, natural ingredients, which provide lasting hydration for your skin and help strengthen your skin. A lot of the time a moisturiser will leave your skin feeling hydrated for a few hours, but quickly fade, but Peace Balm penetrates your skin and lasts. Peace Balm is also really nice for anyone with mild eczema, it's dermatologically proven to improve the look and feel of your skin, and won't cause an adverse reaction. While you may be initially hesitant of the colour, the pale green colour of Peace Balm is a visual reminder of the natural ingredients. I suggest using a small amount to start with and then slowly massaging it into the skin, the cream is lovely and thick, so you don't want to overdo it, and at a price of £83 you don't want to waste an ounce! If you're still not convinced you want to commit to getting a full bottle, the wonderful people at Selexir are offering free samples (you just pay for shipping) exclusively online, so click here to get your sample!

So whether your skin is in need of a soothing balm, or you just want to treat your skin to an extra bit of hydration, try out Selexir's Peace Balm for a luxurious treat!

With just five days left of April, the gang at The Amazing Blog were certainly hoping for sunnier climes - but alas, despite the onset of British summertime, spring sunshine has been replaced by a sky full of storm clouds. And while such weather brings with it the age-old dilema of what to wear, it's also left our skin in need of some tender loving care. Happily for us however, a package from Oriflame arrived just in time to save our skin.

Oriflame is a Swedish company that was founded by two brothers in 1967 and is commited to offering products that are as kind tto your skin as they are to the environment. They recently launched a new natural, ethical and environmentally-friendly line called Ecobeauty which is the first global cosmetics range to be approved by four leading independent ethical, natural and and environmental organisations including Fairtrade and The Vegan Society. The line offers three rich and hydrating face creams bursting with natural and effective ingredients such as antioxidants and fatty acids to nourish and protect the skin. Having tried both the day and night cream I can report that my skin has never looked so radiant and healthy and it's an added bonus that Ecobeauty is as good for the planet as it is for my skin!
