KALME

Skin Shop - KALME Basic Skincare Set

Now that we're putting the winter months behind us, most people are lucky enough to bid farewell to sore, chapped skin. For skin prone to rosacea, ruddiness and easy flushing, however, taming your skin is a constant battle, whatever the weather. We here at The Amazing Blog hate looking like Rudolph as we walk around outside. Lucky for us, Skin Shop’s KALME Skincare Set is helping to rid us of our red faces.

The KALME Skincare Set contains a brand new and patented extract of young caper buds that has been scientifically proven to help combat the symptoms of red skin and sensitivity by up to 70%. The new KALME range offers a plethora of benefits, which help to combat ruddiness and sensitivity, protect from UV damage, provide 24-hour moisturisation and a strong antioxidant action thank to its ingredients Derma Sensitive, NanoSun, Indinyl, and NDGA. I often suffer from redness around my nose, which flares up at the most unfortunate times, but after one use of the range, I noticed a significant reduction. My favourite product from the range is the Day Defence SPF25 Cream which, although not quite as moisturising as I would expect, is great when layered with an oil, offering sun protection to prevent any more redness appearing.  It's certainly a saviour when it comes to sore, angry looking skin.

The KALME Skincare Set (Basic) costs £39.95 and includes a SPF25 Day Defence Cream, a Night Repair Cream & Water-Free Cream Cleanser. Have a look at the Skin Shop website to stock up on the collection, and banish your bad skin days.

Skin Shop - KALME Undercoat

When you have sensitive skin, taking care of it can often be quite a balancing act. Trying to find the right creams and lotions to soothe at the same time as keeping the routine as minimal as possible can be quite a daunting task. Luckily, we here at  The Amazing Blog have discovered KALME Undercoat from Skin Shop, a great two-in-one that acts as both a gentle moisturiser and base for sensitive skin. With one less product in our beauty routine, our skin is much happier!

Designed with sensitive skin in mind, the KALME Undercoat acts as a barrier as well as a skincare staple, increasing the skin’s tolerance to a variety of cosmetics. Since skin sensitivity is often aggravated by a build-up of harmful additives, it's great to discover a product that provides a little protection. Free from parabens, the soothing cream provides instant cooling relief when applied. Skin Shop suggest leaving the product to sink in for about 15 minutes before layering on any more products, and I did worry that as an effective moisturiser, it may cause my make-up to slide around a bit. Quite the opposite was true, and my foundation stayed put all day. Not only that, any redness in my skin was calmed, negating the need for excess concealer. It's the perfect addition to my skincare routine, and has made quite a difference to my sensitive visage.

Pick up your own KALME Undercoat here for £17, and let your sensitive skin breathe a sigh of relief.
