SKN-RG PRO - Eye Reviver Brightener & Revitalise Serum

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: all of us at The Amazing Blog are passionate about bee welfare. And having had the pleasure of sampling SKN-RG before, we know that they share our enthusiasm. With direction from Chinese medicine and Buddhist teachings, the brand focuses on apiary cultivation when harvesting ingredients for their products. Honey, beeswax, pollen, you name it – if it’s bee, it’s 'bee-autiful'. So when they sent us a couple of their Sknrg PRO products to try, we were buzzing with anticipation.

The Sknrg PRO range features five corrective serums, each designed to target a different concern. Of the five, we were given the chance to try the Eye Reviver Brightener and RevitaliseAge Defy Serum, and we were really impressed with the results. Presented in innovative syringe style packaging, both products contain Hyaluronic Acid, fantastic for plumping and hydrating our skin. As well as this, the Eye Brightener is filled with specially selected bee hive products that work to repair damaged tissue. Its gel-like texture had a superb cooling effect, leaving me feeling fresh and rejuvenated. The Revitalise Serum includes natural peptides, helping to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, as well as Sea Kelp Extract and Black Tea Ferment to prolong our new youthful glow. The serum goes on quite thick, but blends to a soft, silky finish, making it a great base for make-up. Both products have a deliciously sweet, natural scent and feel wonderful on the skin, into which they absorbed with impressive speed.

Highly commended in Natural Health Magazine's 2014 Beauty Awards, b2 has always been a hit here at The Amazing Blog. Both the Eye Reviver Brightener and Revitalise Serum are available to buy here for £35 and £40 respectively, along with the rest of the b2 Sknrg PRO range. If you fancy something a little different, but equally bee friendly, have a look at our posts on the b2 Pro Oil and Pro Serum, or Sknrg Enzyme Kit.

Once again, here we are buzzing about another wonderful bee product. As you know, we here at The Amazing Blog are passionate about bringing awareness to a growing issue in the UK; our native bee population is on the decline and that can be detrimental to our future generations. Therefore, we are always excited to bring to you products that are made with bees in mind that give your skin that sweet, honey love.b2 Performance Skinwear is a British company that merges Buddhist inspired apothecary with scientific research using ingredients from ‘Earth, Sea and Bee' realms all the while  staying paraben and toxin-free.

We were lucky to try the b2 Sknrg Enzyme Daily Essentials Trio Mid Kit and this wonderful kit includes three products: AHA & Enzyme Cleansing Melt, Enzyme & AHA Toner and M+Collagen Day Cream. The treatment has anti-wrinkle properties as well as helps reduce skin irregularities (like scarring, pigmentation and pore size) and can improve skin tone and texture without leaving your skin dry. Whether you are trying to minimise wrinkles or prevent them, the treatment works well at renewing your skin to give it a youthful and healthy appearance.

The creators of the b2 line, husband and wife duo, Robert and Deborah Scott along with their team of researchers created this product with all natural and organic ingredients such as antioxidant packed seaweed, fruit enzymes, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA). In order to ensure that their ingredients remain as organic and toxin-free, b2 follow organic farming standards when cultivating the plant extracts used in their products. The bee ingredients they use include seasoned honey, pollen and beeswax.  These ingredients are cultivated from the b2 apiaries housing various bees, but most importantly our native black honeybee.  b2  Sknrg  Enzyme  Daily  Essentials  Trio  Mid Kit is available here  for £39.50. Why not have your skin 'bee'  its very best and have all your friends buzzing about how you did it!

B2 Pro Oil and Pro Serum

There is a lot of buzz in the beauty industry at the moment around honey. Its moisturising qualities make it the ideal ingredient in these colder months with harsher effects taking their toll on our skin. The Amazing Blog has found a honey filled serum and oil to help protect against these problems, and also act to reduce signs of aging. The B2 Skincare Pro Oil and Pro Serum are just two of a gorgeous collection.

B2 is an apiary skincare brand which uses the latest research to harness Mother Nature with therapeutic treatments based in Buddhistic rituals and beliefs. The brand is formed by industry professionals and is free from toxins and all the other bad things you find in products all the time. Co Founder Deborah Scott studied bee colonies at university which developed her understanding of bee nature and how they have flower preferences, which led her to create B2. The Pro Serum is for all skintypes and helps to induce a healthier looking finish in your skin. The smell definitely reminds you it’s a honey based product, but there’s also a refreshing citrusy scent which lingers. I expected it to be sticky (naïve honey stereotype), but the serum is very light and is absorbed almost instantly. The brand is really unique and they have some very exciting products in their range, you won’t find anything quite like it anywhere else.

The Pro Oil smells even better and is a joy to apply as it’s so easy. The oil is a bit misleading as when first applying it feels like it will sit on your skin leaving an unwanted shine. This isn’t the case however, and it blends into the skin very quickly, leaving it soft and hydrated. If you suffer from dry skin then this is would be a good little addition to your skincare routine. The oil is full of vitamins to help smooth out the skin and has antioxidants to help protect against environmental aggressors. Just what we need this winter, and knowing England, probably what we will need in the summer too..

The Oil is priced at £18.50 and can be found here and the serum is also £18.50 here.
