Rose Plumping Cleansing Oil - Dr Renaud

As the cold weather is firmly here to stay, with no end in sight, cleansing oils are becoming a firm favourite with us here at The Amazing Blog. We have been trying out the fabulous Rose Plumping Cleansing Oil, from the always brilliant French brand Dr Renaud It is a gentle cleanser that removes all makeup (yes, even waterproof!) while leaving your skin cleaner, softer.

Dr Renaud is a brand renowned for its innovative and scientific approach to skincare. This approach has resulted in a high performing line of products that target any and all concerns you may have; from acne to redness and hyperpigmentation Dr Renaud will have the fix. This particular cleansing oil is suited to all skin types, and may particularly be appreciated by older skins, due to the cleansers non-drying formula.

Our favourite thing about this oil is that it’s full of wonderful, natural, skin-loving ingredients. It contains the active ingredients Rose Centifolia, Vitamin E, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Macadamia Oil. Whilst the rose and Vitamin E work to erase pigmentation and produce a clear complexion, the three nut oils condition and leave our skins plump and soft. The texture of the cleanser is lovely and light, turning into a milky emulsion on contact with water. You simply need to put a small amount in your hands to gently warm the oil and then apply to a dry face. After massaging the face, add water and rinse away the emulsified oil with fingers or a flannel. Your skin will be left feeling calmed and refreshed! The Rose Plumping Cleansing Oil is brilliant for fighting dryness and dehydration, so your skin will feel nourished and protected against the harshest and cruellest elements!

Shea Butter Shower Gel and Aloe Mouthwash - Organii

It's no surprise that The Amazing Blog are crazy about natural products. We believe that natural skincare is one of the best remedies for a variety of skin problems. Organii has a brilliant range, full of organic products for everyday use. We received two of these, a Shea Butter Shower Gel and Aloe Mouthwash.

Organii is an excellent brand for families, as their products are formulated to suit everyone from adults to children. We tried one of their Shower Gels, which was enriched with Shea Butter and left a great scent even hours after showering. You can use it every day on skin and even in your hair if you wanted! The product does not contain synthetics, colourants, or fragrances, and 99.5% of its ingredients are extracted from organic elements which help to smooth and soften skin. It is also available in a variety of scents such as Strawberry, Argan, Liquorice and Aloe Bamboo.

The second product we tried was the Aloe Mouthwash with Eucalyptus. It tasted great, similar to peppermint gum, something that kids may love. To feel the mouthwash's benefits, we suggest swirling the product thoroughly around your mouth at least once per day.

Not only does the brand use ingredients originating from vegetables, Organii's products do not contain any animal by-products or wheat whatsoever. These vegan products are suitable for everybody and we think they are a great brand to try if you are trying to live more consciously.

Face Masks - Friday Favourites

In the middle of our busy schedules, it is important to have some 'me-time' and finally get to pamper ourselves a little bit and what could be more perfect for the weekend ahead. Here at The Amazing Blog we've got it covered with these fabulous face masks taking their ingredients from around the world.

The first face masks we recommend are from Oh K. The brand is known for its cute and quirky packaging and this product is no exception. Their Coconut Water Face Masks take inspiration from Korean sheet masks, and provides intense hydration.

This particular mask feels really cool and soothing on the skin, and after a long week this is the perfect thing to just stop and relax. Cleanse the skin and apply the mask over the face, making sure to align the eye and mouth holes correctly. We recommend leaving the mask on for 15-20 minutes, this way you will really feel the added moisture in your skin. With any residue left on the face, simply massage into the skin until absorbed or remove with a cotton pad.

You can get three Oh K. Coconut Water Masks here for £8.00.

Acne, dryness, and dullness can all be improved with a quick intensive mask. To this end, we loved the selection from the brand Vitamasques. They have designed their face mask products to ensure they benefit and improve the skin, using their innovative Korean technology. 

In their Korean Collection we received a Hydro Face Mask that claims to give 120 hours of hydration.  It is recommended that you cleanse and tone your face before applying the mask, and leave on for 20-30 minutes. The Hydro Face mask will enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture, plus it has extracts from the rose of Jericho which will improve the clarity of the skin.

In their fruit range, each mask has a tailored purpose, and we really liked the Pomegranate face mask. The texture of the mask felt ultra soothing on the skin and felt like it was benefiting the skin. This pomegranate face mask works by firming and lifting the skin whilst adding moisture to the face. An added bonus is the triple layer-sheet technology; this will enhance the moisture and will increase the absorption rate too.

Keep your skin moisturised and soothed with the Hydro Face Mask here for £7.99 and you can get the Pomegranate Face Mask box of 4 here for £12.99.

When it comes to anti ageing, Time Less Truth Mask has the solution for “ageless beauty”. They created the award winning TT Glacial Snow Algae & Hyaluronic Acid Bio Cellulose Mask using plant extract derived from the snowy mountains of Switzerland. The Snow Algae is an anti-ageing solution that optimises the skin's collagen production to restore youthfulness to the skin cells. Apply the mask after cleansing and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. The blue serum contained in the bio cellulose cloth is absorbed easily by the skin and helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles. 

Treat your skin with TT Glacial Snow Algae & Hyaluronic Acid Bio Cellulose Mask regularly for a younger complexion here for £7.90.

Finally, we love fruity masks and their scents, they remind us of warm weather and Summers in the sun. It’s never too early to start getting ready for Spring/Summer and we did it with the British brand Ooharr.

The range includes Fruity Magic, a rejuvenating mask and Juicy Burst, a nourishing cream mask. Fruity Magic uses Pomegranate along with ingredients such as Green Tea, Aloe, Honey, Vitamin A, C and E to soothe, regenerate and detoxify your skin. Juicy Burst utilises Orange, Lime, Cucumber and Calendula to refresh, soothe and create a clear complexion. Our complexions felt soft and flawless after leaving these masks on for 10 to 15 minutes.

Give your skin an antioxidant boost with Ooharr, and try the Fruity Magic or the Juicy Burst masks for £1.20 here each.
