SKN-RG - Alpha Serum High Energy Liquid Laser

At The Amazing Blog, it’s no secret we love natural and organic skincare that also acts as a performance brand too.  We’re excited to share with you one of our favourite brands that we’ve written about in the past SKN-RG. Today we’re going to introduce you to one of their hero products the  Alpha Serum High Energy Liquid Laser, which creates a natural shield against UV and blue light as well as helping to tighten and lift the skin for a more youthful appearance, which certainly makes it one of our #AmazingFinds.

SKN-RG was founded in 2009 by scientists Deborah and Robert Scott who realised in the overpopulated world of skincare, it was vital for them to make stand-out products that really work. Their approach is to use cutting edge technology to make something really amazing. In 2011 they created and evolved the use of the world’s first Quanta® extraction machine, built to extract the plant’s full benefits, using a broad spectrum of light and sound waves. Giving their brand name from the convergence of skin + energy = SKN-RG.

As a British brand, each product is created in their laboratory in Essex and contains a unique blend of herbs and adaptogens that complement each product’s specific function. Each herbal blend is only made possible through the power of Quanta® technology. In 2014, SKN-RG reached a turning point in their business when their Quanta® technology was given a Government and University Business Innovation Award. SKN-RG’s other awards include Natural Health Magazine and Beauty Shortlist Awards in 2019/2020 such as Best Face Mask and Best Makeup Remover for products from SKN-RG’s ‘Advanced’ line.

The Alpha Serum High Energy Liquid Laser which won the Editor’s Choice Award in 2020 at the Beauty Shortlist Awards, is a part of SKN-RG’s ‘Evolution Line.’ The Alpha Serum is emulsifier -free and offers a natural lift with unrivalled protection by creating a natural shield against blue light and UV. Ingredients such as kombuchka, a fermentation of sweet black tea by the symbiosis of two-microorganisms commonly used in skincare for radiance, anti-ageing, smoothing and re-densifying. Other ingredients include hyaluronic acid to help retain water in tissues and adaptogenic herbs which help to increase cellular and promote anti-bacterial properties to aid in clearing up acne, leaving the skin more radiant and beautiful.

We’ve enjoyed using serum by applying using a sweeping upward effect to aid skin tightening, it is slick, cooling and provides a wonderful blurring effect making it the perfect base before applying makeup. If you too would like to experience the power of the Alpha Serum High Energy Liquid Laser, it can be purchased here for £75 for 15ml.

MyChelle - Deep Repair Cream

We’ve heard so much buzz about this brand and we’re just thrilled to have it land on our desks at The Amazing Blog. MyChelle Skincare is recognised as the No.1 natural facial skincare brand in the US.  It launched in the UK about 6 months ago and has been growing in popularity.  The ingredients used are dermaceutical grade with bioactive ingredients which are free from nasties like phthalates, parabens fragrances and artificial colouring.   The product of my choice from this extensive MyChelle range is the Deep Repair Cream. I love creams that feel rich and hydrating and this certainly showed real promise. I’m told that in clinical studies, Kombuchka™ black tea ferment improved skin smoothness by 6.2% in just 29 days. EGF peptides increase cellular regeneration while algae-derived Venuceane™ protects collagen and prevents moisture loss. While the nourishing shea butter and cutting-edge skin nutrients restore moisture while improving skin’s texture and youthfulness. Well, I just can’t wait!

And as the weather has just turned with a viciously biting north wind, this cream is perfectly timed. Three times a day, I do a slow meditative walk with my elderly four-legged friend which in these current climes practically turns me into a pillar of ice (he has a double fur coat). Over the past few days I have been lavishly applying the Deep Repair Cream to great effect. Not only does it have the most gorgeous and subtle bouquet of roses/orange blossom but it also feels incredibly hydrating giving me the ideal barrier protecting my skin against the elements. I’m pleased to report that I’ve noticed that my skin now has a slightly dewy look as well as feeling incredibly soft. I have normal to dry skin but I think that this would be suitable for anyone who felt their skin was dehydrated or in need pepping up. In fact, it would be brilliant cream to take on a long haul flight or for applying after skiing or sunburn. It’s certainly something I’m deeply grateful to have at hand.  Yes, I do thoroughly recommend it and it’s well worth the RRP of £28.50 - available here or from most good health food shops.
