PHB Ethical Beauty - Skin Brighten Gel

Here at The Amazing Blog we feel at our best when our skin is bright and radiant, and it often seems like the only way to achieve this is after a trip to the salon. We understand that for most people this just isn’t feasible. Plus, let’s be honest, we want beautiful radiant skin at all times! However, we believe we’ve found a product up to the job - PHB Ethical Beauty's handmade Skin Brighten Gel for face and body.

The gel is specially formulated with Neroli, Licorice and Immortelle to give us brighter looking and even skin. Neroli is rich in Vitamin C, which helps to reduce darks spots and discolouration. Immortelle is fantastic for its regenerative properties, and encourages clear and radiant skin. Last but not least, Licorice is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, so it helps to soothe and even the skin tone. It's evident that each natural ingredient is sourced with real thought and care, and the combination of all the ingredients works to target specific areas of the skin, making it a real powerhouse product.

We definitely feel this is a multipurpose product that everyone should have in their skincare collection. The gel has a jelly-like consistency, and a little of this product goes a long way. It has the most beautiful floral scent that melts into the skin, with no sticky residue, and will leave your skin feeling super soft to the touch. What's more, once soaked in, it gives the skin a subtle sheen that acts as a stunning natural highlight.

If you want the kind of skin radiance that dreams are made of, get your gel here for £13.75.

Friday Favourites - Face Masks

Facials are a great way to relax at the end of a long week; here at The Amazing Blog, we are firm believers in taking the time out to pamper ourselves. Stress and fatigue have a profound effect on the condition of our skin, so we have found the perfect range of masks for every purpose and skin type.

Firstly we have Earth Kiss Face Masks that come in both Mud Mask and Bamboo Sheet form, each catering to a different skin problem. This is perfect for those who want to try out ‘multi-masking’, a new beauty craze that is taking over beauty blogs and vlogs.

The mud masks are ideal for those with oily/acne prone skin, while the sheets are designed for those with dull/dry skin. We mix and match our masks depending on what our skin is craving. Earth Kiss products are 100% natural and energised with Himalayan Shalijit, a rare form of powerful mineralised organic matter that contains 85 different plant micronutrients - plently for keeping your skin in tip top condition. If you want to release your inner beauty naturally, then purchase your own mask here for only £1.99 each.

It isn’t often you can find a mask with anti-ageing technology, but Timeless Truth have created BEE Bio Cellulose Bee Venom and Royal Jelly Miracle Mask.

The combination of the Bee Venom and “elixir of youth” Royal Jelly is nature’s alternative to Botox. These active ingredients work by stimulating collagen production to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If that isn’t enough, the bee venom contains Melittin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, which gives the mask all of the great qualities of an anti-ageing serum. If you want great results in the most relaxing way possible, get your BEE mask here for £7.90 each or £38.50 for 5.

If you are looking for a mask that smells and looks good enough to eat, Christopher Courtney’s Anti-Oxidant Chocolate Facial Therapy mask is a must have.

The mask is packed with anti-oxidant rich Cocoa, Peptides, Vitamins, Plant Cell Extracts, Bio-Botanicals and Pure Essentials. But it has the added indulgence of real chocolate truffles for all the chocolate lovers out there. The treatment is designed to stimulate cell renewal, smooth the skin and boost moisture levels for healthy and radiant skin. It is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin, as the product avoids harsh chemicals, synthetic colours/flavours, and mineral oils. We love this mask as it not only feels luxurious but has the most incredible scent of rich melted chocolate. Get your own decadent chocolate mask here for £43.95.

Last, but certainly not least, Beaut Boutique have brought us a Black Clay and Licorice Mask.

Too many clay masks leave our skin feeling dry and sensitive, whereas this one blends natural organic Australian Clay with Licorice Root Extract. These ingredients first detox, then brighten and tone the skin leaving it feeling clean and looking radiant. We loved the rich and creamy consistency of the mask, it glides effortlessly onto the skin like a thick moisturiser. After an evening relaxing with this soothing mask on you feel revitalised and your skin looks radiant, if you want to try it out yourself order it here for £18.
