We have previously written about their Midnight Blue Claming Cream  and their Mid-day Blue Sun Lotion. The brand always makes sure that their products are manufactured with the purest raw materials and without harsh ingredients. Therefore all products are made without colourants, alcohol, parabens and artificial fragrance. We were lucky enough to try three of their new products.

The toner key ingredient is Phyto-Oligo, an agent that intensely nourishes skin leaving it smooth and supple.  The product is enriched with botanical extracts including centella asiatica, liquorice root, sponge gourd, hollyhock flower, aloe vera as well as natural oils such as lavender oil, eucalyptus oil, geranium oil, lemon oil, orange oil and cananga oil. Together these ingredients make a highly efficient toner that prepares the skin before the application of serums and creams and boosts their effectiveness. We loved using this facial toner, it made our skin feel supple and rejuvenated, and we are not the only ones loving it as it was named best facial toner by the Beauty Shortlist Awards in 2017

Mid-day Blue Sun Lotion - Dear, Klairs

As the summer months approach, we at The Amazing Blog have been searching for that extra skincare protection for our delicate complexions. With this in mind we've been on the hunt for a selection of high SPF sun lotions or primers to apply to our faces.  So when discovered a new sun lotion from one of our favourite Korean brands, Dear, Klair’s we eagerly put their efficient and lightweight Mid-day Blue Sun Lotion to the test.

'K beauty' is becoming more and more popular with many new Korean brands recently arriving into the UK. The K beauty trend began with the introduction of our favourite quirky looking sheet masks, which have now become quite common-place and certainly part of our weekly beauty regime. They have also led to inspiring many other international beauty brands replicating these sheet masks and following in their footsteps. We were intrigued to learn that the average daily Korean beauty regime consists of seven steps, and although each regimen may vary, the use of an SPF screen never does. The Korean's recognise the application of SPF screen as a crucial and protective step against sun damage, which as well all know is a direct contributor to ageing skin.  

Bearing all this in mind, Dear, Klairs Mid-day Blue Sun Lotion has a high SPF 40,  lightweight and non-greasy texture with an almost feathery finish. What’s more the sun lotion helps tone out redness. Formulated with Guaiazulene, like the Midnight Blue Calming Cream that we've previously reviewed, this sun lotion contributes to calming irritated skin. Perfect for protection against harsh UV rays it has the added bonus of giving you a fabulously flawless skin that everyone will be envious of. 

It’s recommended that you apply the Mid-day Blue Sun Lotion to skin at least 15 minutes before going outdoors and then reapply every 2 hours or as needed. We also suggest using it as a protective primer under your make up.

Purchase the Mid-day Blue Sun Lotion here for £18.90.
 

Midnight Blue Calming Cream - Dear, Klairs

Here at The Amazing Blog we know that stress can have adverse effects on our skin. When you're working all day, it's impossible to avoid stress that may damage your complexion. That's why we were glad when Dear, Klairs, a brand from Korea, sent us their Midnight Blue Calming Cream. 

The cream is as blue as its name suggests. The main ingredients are Guaiazulene, Ceramide 3 and Centella Asiatica extract and that’s what's so special about this cream. Guaiazulene’s goal is to calm your skin from inflammation by regenerating damaged tissues and cells. It works with Eczema, sunburn or ulcerative skin disease. This herbal ingredients gives its blue colour to the cream while the Centella Asiatica extract is a major ingredient in ointments, working to prevent scarring.

The Midnight Blue Calming Cream is great for sensitive skin and we suggest using it regularly. Apply a small amount of cream on the damaged areas every morning and evening after your usual skincare routine. Following this, you are sure to be intensively hydrated and to have stimulated your cells. The cream leaves you with a delicate floral smell and a really soft skin. It does not feel greasy and absorbs fast.
