Anti-ageing

Martha Hill Skincare

Does your skin get easily irritated? Here at The Amazing Blog we understand that some products just aren’t suitable for sensitive skin whether we love them or not. Martha Hill understands too, which is why she created a skincare set specifically for sensitive skin.

The Soothing Skin Wash is a gentle, non-drying face wash formulated to leave easily irritated skin thoroughly cleansed, refreshed and soothed. With ingredients such as Oat and Gotu Kola Extracts, Meadowsweet and Tarvin, you won’t have to worry about irritation, tightness or discomfort. The ingredients will stimulate the skin’s natural anti-bacterial defenses, reduce pores, protect the skin and provide anti-ageing treatment.

The Soothing Skin Tonic will tone, refine and gently balance while providing a soothing hydration and boost in your skin’s resilience. Containing the same ingredients as the Soothing Skin Wash, as well as Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel, the tonic helps soothe and moisturise skin while also reducing irritation and preventing breakouts.

The Soothing Skin Relief addresses all the problems associated with easily irritated skin and skin prone to allergic reaction, roseacea and dermatitis. Sodium Hyaluronate has incredible moisturizing benefits and maintains day long hydration. The Sodium Hyaluronate, along with Shea Butter and Sweet Almond Oil, will also get rid of dry, flaky patches, prevent spots and pimples and provide another layer of anti-ageing treatment.

If you’ve been searching long and hard for the perfect product for your sensitive skin, stop your search and buy this skincare set here.

Skin Design London - Sleeping Beauty

Wish you could sleep forever and wake up looking like Sleeping Beauty did? Now you can with Skin Design London’s NEW Sleeping Beauty. We here at The Amazing Blog absolutely love it!

Skin Design London has introduced an innovative range of skin potions designed to specifically target ageing flaws. The Sleeping Beauty is an overnight mask treatment designed to boost collagen, reduce hyper pigmentation, thicken skin and enhance elasticity, hydration and vibrancy all while you sleep. Infused with Fruit Oil, Jojoba, White Tea, Acai Berry and Vitamins A and C, the moisturiser works to smooth and reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines and act as a powerful anti-oxidant to lighten skin tone for a fresher and more youthful glow. It also retextures and improves imperfection.

Because of my oily skin, I get nervous about switching up my moisturisers, but I absolutely love Sleeping Beauty. I like its subtle scent and the way the cream sinks into my skin. When I wake up the next morning, my skin feels completely hydrated and I am ready to begin my day! 

After cleansing and toning, apply a thin layer over the face and neck before sleeping. You can also use it as a 15-minute mask for a quick boost to the skin and then rinse with warm water.

Docteur Renaud's Iris Lift Pore-Reducing Gel-Cream

Here at The Amazing Blog, we understand that as we age, our skin unfortunately ages as well. As you age, you may begin to notice wrinkles, your pores becoming more visible, or your skin losing its shine. Thanks to Docteur Renaud’s new Iris Lift Pore-Reducing Gel-Cream, you can reduce these pesky ageing effects and go back to looking like a younger version of you. 

Docteur Renaud uses Iris for all of its age defying formulations because of its ability to strengthen the skin. The anti-ageing properties of Iris limit the breakdown of protein and collagen while maintaining the quality of the membrane between the dermis and epidermis. Maintaining the membrane restores the firmness and tone of the skin, reducing fine lines and decreasing wrinkle depth.

The Iris Lift Pore-Reducing Gel-Cream provides complete anti-ageing care, tackling all the signs of ageing by bringing together three Iris extracts. The combination of the Iris Cell Extract, Iris Polyphenols and Organic Iris combat fine lines and wrinkles, restore firmness and elasticity to the skin, reduce visible pores, and deliver a radiance-boosting effect. Pistachio Tree Resin, Jojoba Oil, Macadamia Oils, Hyaluronic Acid, and Docteur Renaud’s Phyto-Oxygenating complex also help provide a boost of radiance to the skin, while moisturising and strengthening it as well.   

After using the product, 96% of 22 women interviewed said their skin felt smoother, firmer and more plumped up. We couldn't agree more!

Created for normal to combination skin types, the light cream will melt effortlessly into the skin, leaving it looking younger and feeling silky soft. For the best results, apply the Iris Lift Pore-Reducing Gel-Cream morning and evening on the face and neck area.

Docteur Renaud Iris Lift Pore-Reducing Gel-Cream is available here at £44.00 for 50 ml. 

 

Pure Gold Collagen

It is no secret that a daily dose of collagen is said to work wonders against the pesky effects of ageing. I personally always like to put collagen powders in my raw vegetable juices that I religiously now have 3 mornings a week. However, l decided to try another version separately in the guise of a collagen drink. So I gave a mission to our team at The Amazing Blog to research collagen drinks for me and they stumbled upon our first one which is Pure Gold Collagen 

Pure Gold Collagen is a ready-to-drink liquid beauty supplement, designed to quite literally nourish the body from the inside out and terminate all of the effects of ageing. Never tried taking your daily dose of collagen as a liquid? Well, after quite the extensive amount of research,  Minerva Research Labs, alongside European scientists, have concluded that liquid beauty supplements can be 20 times more effective than both creams and pills. It can also take as little as six weeks to make a difference. So, for those looking for the most natural supplement possible for anti-ageing, this is the product for you.

The method to the madness is a simple sugar-free blend of hydrolysed collagen, hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C. Once these ingredients are mixed into one and digested properly, they work together to target the fibroblast cells in the body and assist them in producing collagen. Overall, they claim that  the result should end in an increase of skin hydration, a decrease of wrinkles, and the general improvement of skin elasticity. Personally, I wasn’t too keen on the taste it was a little too sickly sweet for my palate (but that is just me). I trialled it for 30 days and haven’t noticed any radical change in my skin tone although to be fair I am looking a little more rested.  I would recommend this collagen drink as a great introduction for anyone who is considering added a liquid collagen supplement to their diet.

The Pure Gold Collagen can be purchased at your local Boots or on the Minerva website here for £35.99.

Peter Simone - Skin Personality Range


There’s nothing like a little opulent skincare to make you feel glamorous, so when Peter Simone were kind enough to send us a selection of products from their Skin Personality Range, we here at The Amazing Blog were more than happy to indulge. Of the luxurious range, we received the A.M Nectar, the Smoothing Eye Contour Cream, and the newly released Weekly Mask. We must admit, just looking at the retro glam packaging made us feel that bit closer to looking like a Hollywood starlet.

Although the opulent pink bottles had us fooled for a minute, we were pleased to discover that Peter Simone is not a brand that values luxury over morality. They pride themselves on producing fair trade, cruelty free products, using recyclable materials wherever possible. With this in mind, we were even more excited to dive into the range. As morning seems to be the natural starting point, we first sampled the A.M. Nectar. Used after cleansing, the soothing serum was great for sealing in moisture. Its range of active, plant based ingredients such as Plankton Extract help to reduce signs of aging, and left our complexions feeling soft and lifted. The Smoothing Eye Contour Cream did exactly what it says on the bottle. The rich cream felt cooling on the eye area, and helped to smooth the delicate skin, making it the perfect prelude to our make-up routine. The star of the show for us, however, was the Weekly Mask. Suitable for all skin types, the Lime Tree Water and Hyaluronic Acid enriched mask helped to hydrate and plump the skin. Claiming to restore a youthful radiance, we immediately noticed a reduction of fine lines and an overall fresh faced result.

Release your inner Hollywood heroine with the A.M Nectar for £110, the Weekly Mask for £61, and the Smoothing Eye Contour Cream for £98.
