Korres Yoghurt Range – Shower Gel, Hand Cream, Body Milk, Body Butter

Korres is one of our favourite brands. For those of you who don't know, it's a Greek company, so it seems to make sense that they have now incorporated nutritious Greek yoghurt into their new range of bodycare products. All these Korres Yoghurt bodycare, have a gorgeous fresh and clean scent in a rich and creamy formula that pampers and hydrates the skin. If you are a regular reader, you'll know that we at The Amazing Blog love natural beauty products, and this range has suitably impressed us. Korres bodycare is firmly rooted in natural ingredients, and they even quotes the exact rations of what is natural i.e:  The Body Butter which is 94.4%, the Body Milk  92.6%, the Showergel 86.4% and the Hand Cream with 88.9%. All products are suitable for vegetarians and dermatologically tested too.

The Body Butter is rich in shea butter and avocado, almond and sunflower oils. It also contains guava, an excellent source of vitamin C for collagen synthesis, and quince extract which is good for softening and restructuring. The Body Milk, while thinner in consistency, is still deeply moisturising. It is enriched with almond oil, active aloe, shea butter and provitamin B5 all to nourish the skin. Almond oil is hailed for its anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, while aloe vera is well-known for its medicinal healing and cell regeneration properties. Shea butter, one of our favourite ingredients, is also renowned for its hydrating and softening effects.

The Hand Cream boasts similar ingredients, with the addition of calendula for repairing cracked skin. It feels luxuriously thick and creamy, but absorbs quickly which we love. The Showergel is creamy and foamy with wheat proteins and althea extract to help maintain skin’s natural moisture levels. The additions of vitamins C and E, zinc and antioxidant enzymes are great to boost the skin’s immune system. We think this range is perfect for protecting your skin in these cold winter months. Purchase the Korres Yoghurt range online at Feel Unique here, or in-store and online at Debenhams, Marks & Spencer and  Liberty London. These products range in price from £8 - £12.50.

24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream and Rejuvenating Herbal Elixir from Kypwell.

At The Amazing Blog, we wish we were holidaying in Cyprus instead of enduring the English autumn, however with Kypwell products you bring Cyprus into your skincare. Their products are based on locally grown herbs and the Cyprian lifestyle. With an inherent respect for nature and belief in holistic beauty, Kypwell products are free from parabens, mineral oils, GMO, synthetic fragrances, colours, silicons, and harsh chemicals. Hopefully, that sounds as impressive to you as it did to us. Also, all their skincare products are PETA certified, vegan and not tested on animals. At The Amazing Blog, we got our hands on the Kypwell 24 hour Multi-action Balancing Cream for oily/combination skin and Kypwell Rejuvenating Herbal Elixir for normal/dry skin and oily/combination skin.

Kypwell's 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream uses a specialist blend of herbs and herbal extracts including yarrow, agrimonium, betula, althaea, elder, geranium, and rose to regulate oiliness in the skin, provide anti-inflammatory agents and tone the skin. Oily skin readers should note that even with oily skin, moisturising is key to good skin, so the 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream also maintains skin hydration. The 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream is also available in a formula for normal/dry skin which rejuvenates the skin's collagen and contains UV and pollen protection.

The Rejuvenating Herbal Elixir is also available in two formulas; normal/dry and oily/combination. We tried the normal/dry formula which provides a deep hydration and increases skin's elasticity. Enriched with borage, jojoba, avocado, grape-seed and apricot oils the elixir improves water circulation through layers of the skin, reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and increases the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Apply 1-2 pumps to face prior to moisturising with the 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream and watch it take instant effect.

The Kypwell products come in recyclable packaging, airtight to preserve the natural ingredients inside. You can find the 24hour Multi-action Balancing Cream (50ml) here for £57.99, and the Rejuvinating Herbal Elixir (30ml) here for £68.70.
