PH7 Skincare Collection

As the autumnal equinox approaches, we at The Amazing Blog are starting to think about implementing a new season skincare regimen. We wanted to find a simple trio that would take us through the forthcoming transitory months with ease, and the natural skincare from pH 7’s Skincare Collection: Natural.Clean.Skin offered us just that. Our morning routine has now started with their thoughtfully formulated skincare products, their signature: Foaming Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser. pH 7 Natural.Clean.Skin is formulated by US toxicologist Dr. Erika Weaver, PhD, who is committed to designing natural and toxin-free skin care products. During her schooling, Weaver learned about the effects of chemicals and the impact it has on our lifestyle and the environment, and wanted to make a change... 

Our favourite of the trio is their Foaming Cleanser. It nourishes and restores all skin types, it made our skin feel 'squeaky clean' without leaving a hint of tightness. Key ingredients are rose water, witch hazel, honeysuckle, apricot kernel, rosehip, frankincense and sandalwood oils. So easy to apply, simply splash warm water onto the face, then pump 2-3 pumps and massage it in using circular motions. After rinsing thoroughly, and patting dry with a linen face cloth - you'll feel fresh awakened! Next, we used their Toner as a refreshing elixir to hydrate the skin. Key ingredients here include kombucha tea, aloe vera gel, vitamins E and C. Before applying, shake the bottle well and blot it onto a cotton ball. Remember to store this product at room temperature. As you let the skin absorb the toner, apply a small amount of Moisturizer,  which has some of our favourite ingredients such as coconut, sandalwood, frankincense and almond oils, all of which offer a great way to maintain hydration and protection.  You can buy each of the these separately, the Foaming Cleanser here for $14, or the Toner here for $10 and the Moisturizer here for $14. However, this trio can also be bought together here for $36.00.

Martha Hill – Four Steps Skincare Routine

A regular daily skincare routine is essential for our complexions. Today at The Amazing Blog we will show you how to make it simple and almost perfect with these Martha Hill products. They’re all made with natural ingredients which complement one another. If you like cruelty free and natural, then these will be for you. Martha Hill created this simple four steps routine which will help to protect the skin from the moment of waking until bedtime.

The first step is the Essential Cream Cleanser a fragrance free lotion, which is light in texture but penetrates deeply into the skin's dermis removing even the smallest trace of make up. It is great for both a morning and night time cleanse routine, it also helps eliminate impurities. Once the skin is cleansed you’re ready for the Essential Gel Toner. Did you know that an extreme cleanse can deprive the skin from the natural oil that guarantees hydration? Well this very gentle gel toner, with its rosewater and cucumber ingredients feel fresh and revitalising without striping the skin of its natural oils, it also minimises pores and imperfections. Next step is the Day Cream, this restores and boosts the skins radiance with its moisturising properties of avocado and aloe vera. The forth and final step is their Overnight Cream, this repairs and plumps up all fine lines with its ingredients such as cocoa butter and beeswax replenishing the nutrients in the skin whilst you sleep.  With these four essential skincare steps you not only wake up looking radiant but are also ready to take on the day!

These four steps for a healthier and more beautiful skin are available here at the special price of £24.35

Riad Of Aromas - Sensitive Skincare

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re lucky enough to be constantly trying out new products, but sadly, we come across the occasional cream that irritates our skin. When we’re feeling a little sensitive, it’s a relief to find products designed to treat exactly that. Free from chemicals, alcohol, and all of the other skin drying nasties, Riad of Aromas is the answer to all our prayers.

Riad of Aromas takes pride in concocting the cleanest skincare, perfect for treating sensitive skin of all kinds. The range of botanical ingredients in their products treat a plethora of problems that trouble our complexions throughout the seasons. Of the three products we tried, we couldn't find fault with any of them. Their Cherry and Juniper Berry Gentle Hydrating Cleanser not only smells divine, but it removed our make-up with ease, leaving us with a soothed and hydrated face.  It easily wipes away the grime of the day, whilst maintaining your skin’s natural PH, ideal for those who struggle with breakouts. We followed with the Hydrating Neroli & Rose Maroc Hydration Bio Mist Toner. Rich in Omega 3 and other natural oils, the mist has a wonderfully cooling effect on the complexion, perfect for spritzing on a hot summer day. Last but certainly not least, we tried the Jasmine and Prickly Pear Replenishing Face Cream, which is great for combating even the driest of skin. The subtley scented cream left our skin feeling rejuvenated, plumped and youthful.

For those looking to calm and soothe your skin, Riad of Aromas is a real luxury treat. You can buy their products here, prices start at just £16. 

Oriflame - Ecollogen Foaming Gel Wash & Skin Perfecting Toner

If paradise had a smell, it would most certainly be Oriflame Ecollagen Foaming Gel Wash and Skin Perfecting Toner. As soon as us girls at The Amazing Blog opened the bottles, it was almost a scuffle! With a light, yet stimulating floral scent, we could not wait to wash our faces with the foaming gel wash and use the skin perfecting toner.

After fighting our way to the loo, good naturedly of course, we were able to try out these great products. The foaming gel wash comes out of the conveniently locking pump in a clear gel and foams up well for the face. When washed off, it leaves your face feeling smooth and refreshed. The toner goes on with a cotton pad and leaves the face feeling further refreshed and soft as feathers. One of the greatest things about this toner was that it did not leave the face feeling dry at all. This is a well balanced skin care duo and the scent alone makes the line worth checking out.

The website for Oriflame offers many different products, but the Ecollagen line specifically can be found here. Both beauty products run for £14.95. Purchase the foaming gel wash here and the skin perfecting toner here.
