Living Nature - Sensitive Skin Range

Unsurprisingly, in today's modern world, around 50% of women suffer from sensitive skin, whether caused by diet, hormones or other external elements. Here at The Amazing Blog, we have searched for a gentle skincare product to save us from skin irritation, redness and blotchiness. We're pleased to report that Living Nature have come to our rescue with their range of Sensitive Skincare. 

Of the range's four products, our favourite was the Sensitive Night Moisture. Fragrance and allergen free, it's clinically proven to help soothe sensitive skin. The gentle moisturiser contains Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Harakeke Flax Extract and Avocado Oil, all of which help to provide deep overnight nourishment and cell renewal, without being too harsh on the skin. The cream is perfectly PH balanced and works with your Sensitive Hydrating Toner to nurture and soothe. After a few uses, we noticed our skin no longer looked so blotchy after cleansing, and there was certainly less of that horrible tight feeling. When applying the rich cream, our skin felt instantly gratified, and it simply melted into our visage with ease, noticeably restoring hydration and elasticity. We often find so-called ‘sensitive’ products end up irritating our complexions, but Living Nature has restored our faith.

What Skin Needs

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love nothing more than a healthy dewy complexion. Unfortunately with winter approaching dryness and damage will likely be on the menu. We feel that the What Skin Needs’ Skin Balm is the answer to our skin problems.  What Skin Needs focuses on providing us with a combination of the finest natural ingredients to create intensive skincare solutions. We couldn’t wait to try this out for ourselves.

The Skin Balm is a thick, fragrant cream that absorbs within seconds. There is no greasy residue that leaves you feeling like you’ve just bathed in oil. The Balm is extremely moisturising and hydrating, but the star of the show in this product is the Plantolin extract. This is what makes the Skin Balm the new Holy Grail for sensitive skin. It is applauded for its soothing and repairing abilities, and encourages skin renewal to keep future skin healthy.

The balm ensured that we had no dry or damaged skin throughout our time using it; we loved the quick absorption that meant we could apply as and when we needed it. After a few applications we were left with beautiful soft skin without the hassle. Sensitive skin can breathe a sigh of relief as the cream is both gentle and effective.

Aquaint - Sanitizing Water

Today everyone is aware of the importance of cleanliness; here at The Amazing Blog we feel the same. However we wanted to search for a product to make sanitation quick, easy and portable.  Aquaint Sanitizing Water is a multipurpose water-based spray that can be used on any surfaces, our hands, skin and even mouth. It seems almost too good to be true.

Aquaint as a brand prides itself on the use of 100% natural ingredients, yet the product still kills 99.9% of bacteria in mere seconds. It contains only water and hypochlorous acid which is produced by the body to kill bacteria; it can’t get any more natural than that. Unlike any other sanitising products, Aquaint is alcohol free, non-toxic, allergy friendly, eco-friendly and can be used by all members of the family including new born babies.

Even those with the most sensitive skin don’t need to fret. When trying it out, we found it extremely useful to clean our work stations, freshen up throughout the day, and keep our hands clean whilst out and about. It has no offensive odour, sprays evenly over the skin and dries quickly. The 50ml bottle was a perfect addition to our handbags and we firmly believe it is a product for everyone.

Keeping clean has never been so easy, pick yours up here for £2.49 (50ml) or £4.99 (500ml). 

Kadria - Balancing Face Oil with Chia and Blackseed

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to discover new natural and vegan products, especially those that are suitable to sensitive skin. We couldn’t have been more happy to receive Kadria Balancing Face Oil, which is a natural safe therapy which helps to nourish, protect and restore your skin. Made from 100% vegetable derived ingredients, it’s the perfect way to treat sensitive skin.

One of the main ingredients in the Balancing Face Oil is Blackseed. This plant, that in Arabia is called ‘seeds of blessing’ or ‘habba sawda’, helps to keep the skin youthful and radiant with its rejuvenating properties. Another key ingredient for keeping your skin supple and youthful is Frankincense. An oil that comes from the gum or resin of the trees, it helps to improve the texture and elasticity of the skin. Finally the Rose Geranium, with its wonderful fresh scent, helps to relax and calm your mind.

All Kadria products are developed by an aromatherapy and massage practitioner who has combined her Anglo-Arabic roots with her knowledge of the scents of the orient to create a line of oils ideal for health and wellbeing. Moreover, all Kadria products are natural and kind to our bodies because they have been specifically designed for pregnancy and labour. If they’re safe enough for using during those special 9 months, then who are we to argue!

If you want to ‘pamper yourself with peace of mind’, you can buy the Kadria Oil here for £36.

Queen Cosmetics - Eye Restore Cream

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul... We here at The Amazing Blog like to keep those windows shining and wrinkle free for the neighbours! While looking for a proper eye cream to keep our peepers fresh, we were lucky to find Queen Cosmetics Eye Restore Cream.

Queen Cosmetics was started by 3 dermatologists in the 1920’s to address the lack of hypoallergenic products for women with sensitive skin. This company has the know how to create a product that can solve skin problems, rather than exacerbate them. Since its start, the company has not turned their backs on products for sensitive skin, have also embraced environment friendly practices and kept their local ties to the community. Although the products themselves are not natural or organic, we did find that they are made with care and feel good on our sensitive skin.

We like that the eye cream is very light but at the same time silky and moisturizing to the eye area, it is unscented and absorbs into the skin almost instantly. It is supposed to be used twice a day to ensure the best wrinkle reducing and de-puffing effects. We felt that the gel-like cream was just the right formulation to be used twice daily on our sensitive eye area without any irritation.

On the website for Queen Cosmetics you have the choice of a 5ml for £5.95 or a 25ml for £24.50here.
