Bach Rescue Range & Emotional Eating Kit

New blog image  

Here at The Amazing Blog we are passionate about natural products, so we were very excited to be given the opportunity to try out some flower based remedies from Bach. We tried out their Rescue Range and the Emotional Eating Kit and enjoyed the multitude of benefits that came with each product.

We really loved Bach’s Rescue Cream, an intensive moisturiser designed for dry and sensitive skin. It was perfect for repairing very dry skin brought on by the colder weather, and seeing as we are already in November, it's a very appropriate product for the time being. The cream contains six flower extracts: Impatiens, Rock Rose, Clematis, Cherry Plum, Star of Bethlehem and White Chestnut. This distinct blend of flowers is designed to help bring clarity of mind when dealing with stressful situations, a lovely added bonus to a great moisturising product.

Also in the Rescue Range is the Rescue Balm, which again contains the natural flower extracts. The balm is designed to soothe dry and chapped lips which unfortunately at this time of year a lot of us suffer from. The balm is soft and instantly moisturised my lips providing a barrier to the harsh winter weather. This is the perfect lip balm to pop in your handbag during the colder months.

We also tried out the Rescue Liquid Melts, a small and fast dissolving capsule that releases four drops of Rescue to bring calmness when everything is getting a bit too hectic, again time appropriate. We think that this is the perfect, natural solution for those who are often stressed. I have personally used Rescue Remedy before driving lessons and exams at university and found it helpful for easing my nerves and becoming calm and focused. At this time of year where there are plenty of fireworks for both Bonfire Night and Diwali, Rescue Remedy is a wonderful solution to calm those who are unsettled by loud noises. Our Executive Editor, Edwina, has given her dog a couple of drops during fireworks to help to keep him relaxed. Bach also offer Night Liquid Melts to help you drift off to sleep when your mind is buzzing with the thoughts of the day.

The girls here at The Amazing Blog were all very interested in the Bach Emotional Eating Kit, a set of three flower essences, each with a different purpose, that can be used to help aid dieting and  healthy living. Crab Apple is used to promote self-acceptance, Cherry Plum for rational thinking and Chestnut bud to gain knowledge from past experience. The drops can be taken directly or added to mineral water. We found the drops were refreshing and helped to ease negative thoughts and helped to control cravings.

Selexir

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to review products that we think will become staple items in your beauty cabinet. Sometimes we come across items that we know will be fast favourites, and if you suffer from dry or irritated skin then we think you'll love Selexir's Peace Balm. This luxurious cream is the perfect treatment balm for sensitive skin. Whilst I don't have extremely dry skin, like a lot of people I definitely have dry patches on parts of my body. I don't know about you but my elbows and knees just never seem to get moisturised! Selexir's Peace Balm is a great rescue remedy that soothes distressed, irritated and sensitive skin which can be applied to the face, ears, neck, hands and elbows as often as you need. It's packed with 21 concentrated, natural ingredients, which provide lasting hydration for your skin and help strengthen your skin. A lot of the time a moisturiser will leave your skin feeling hydrated for a few hours, but quickly fade, but Peace Balm penetrates your skin and lasts. Peace Balm is also really nice for anyone with mild eczema, it's dermatologically proven to improve the look and feel of your skin, and won't cause an adverse reaction. While you may be initially hesitant of the colour, the pale green colour of Peace Balm is a visual reminder of the natural ingredients. I suggest using a small amount to start with and then slowly massaging it into the skin, the cream is lovely and thick, so you don't want to overdo it, and at a price of £83 you don't want to waste an ounce! If you're still not convinced you want to commit to getting a full bottle, the wonderful people at Selexir are offering free samples (you just pay for shipping) exclusively online, so click here to get your sample!

So whether your skin is in need of a soothing balm, or you just want to treat your skin to an extra bit of hydration, try out Selexir's Peace Balm for a luxurious treat!
