Perfecta Home Therapy and Perfecta Extrema from Dermo 28

The Amazing Blog loves nothing more than a spa day, but unfortunately, it’s not a treat we get to enjoy often enough. However, with Dermo 28 you can give yourself the spa treatment at home. Their new Perfecta range is a must for both self-indulgence and self-improvement alike. With five high-quality problem targeting products to choose from, we decided to try the Perfecta home Therapy and Perfecta Extrema. 

The Perfecta Home Therapy comes with eight 30ml sachets of the brilliant formula. The product is both exfoliating and regenerating as it promotes cell renewal due to the high concentration of Vitamin C. The selection of active ingredients helps the products to deeply hydrate skin and leave skin feeling firmer and more supple.  The active ingredients include purifying Lemon Essential Oil, Softening Jojoba Oil and nourishing Shea Butter among others.  Just apply over your entire body once or twice a week by massaging into dry skin and see the effects take almost instant effect. 

The Perfecta Extrema is an excellent way to treat the appearance of cellulite, as it stimulates microcirculation. By addressing specific problem areas, the product drastically improves the appearance of dimpled and “orange peel” skin. The intensive serum should be applied twice a day on affected areas and should be massaged in until it is fully absorbed. Like the Home Therapy, the Dermo 28’s Extrema also contains powerful active ingredients. The caffeine extract stimulates microcirculation, the Panthenol soothes and hydrates skin, while the carnitine and coenzyme work as a metabolic stimulator and slimmer. 

So treat yourself to some spa treatments at home. You can purchase the Perfecta Home Therapy here for £45.00 and the Perfecta Extrema here for £62.00.

Bio2You Organic Anti-Aging Serum

Bio2You is a skincare range that I first discovered in 2011 and as you will see from my blog post  I really fell in love with the Seathorn Antiaging Cream with Hyaluronic Acid moisturiser. So when we at The Amazing Blog were given the opportunity to try out their Organic Antiaging Serum – well as you can imagine, I jumped at it! To be honest this product wasn’t quite what I was expecting… the serum has a very ‘different’ smell.  It is quite ‘yeasty' which is not necessarily a bad thing, just unexpected!  And you can really smell this with the highly concentrated herbs and vitamin B content - which (unlike other serums) is not being disguised by some other artificial fragrances. It has the texture of dry oil and sinks almost instantly into the skin. Quickly added none of this brand’s products contain any alcohol, artificial colouring or parabens.  It has been specifically formulated to help reduce wrinkles by penetrating into the skins dermis to help repair the collagen and retain moisture. There are also other ingredients of Aloe Vera, Fengreek, Organic Hops, Panthenol (ProVitamin B5) and Organic Seabuckthorn oil (this is my favourite ingredient!)

I have been using this as recommended twice daily in conjunction with my current daily moisturiser and night cream – it left my skin pleasantly slightly damp and very soft.  Over a period of 10 days, I have notice that my skin actually did feel more rehydrated.  However, I think for maximum results I would recommend using this in tandem with their fabulous Seathorn Antiaging Cream .For all those natural product enthusiasts like myself, I would definitely recommend Bio2You Organic Antiaging Serum  it is also good for those who have sensitive skin and the ingredients really are vitamin packed ready to perform. At £24  this really isn’t a bad price for an organic antiaging serum that works.

Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment

I've never been too fussy about my haircare routine, I would use any shampoo and conditioner that did the job and left my hair shiny. However, my hair has grown quite a lot in the past few months and the ends have been feeling (and looking...) very dry - my hair's overall appearance was very dull and boring. I've tried intensive repair masks which have left my hair glossy and nourished just after washing it and feeling even drier and heavy the next day. At The Amazing Blog we came across the skin and hair brand Mashooq and decided to give their Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment a try - I've come to the conclusion that you don't know what a deeply nourished and silky hair is until you apply a quality hair oil to it. Mashooq products are the result of an exquisite blend of natural oils including coconut, olive, palm, whet germ, almond and sunflower which are full of vitamins and minerals to nourish and protect the hair and skin. Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment can be used on two different ways: it can be used as a soak for 10 to 20 minutes before shampooing to strengthen the hair and adding a gorgeous shine - just wrap the oiled hair in a hot towel or cover it with a shower cap while soaking in the bath. You can also apply the Penetrating Oil Treatment before harsh treatments such as bleaching, colouring, perming or relaxing to protect the hair from damage. My favourite my way to use this oil is applying it before going to bed, leaving it in the whole night and shampooing as you would the next morning.

We also had the chance to try their Moisturising Hair Serum, that applied to dry hair gets rid of the frizziness and adds nice sheen. The packaging of the Mashooq products is convenieny, ideal for travelling and easy to store too.

You can purchase Mashooq Penetrating Oil Treatment in different sizes (100 ml, 250 ml and 500ml) for £7.99, £13.99 and £21.00 from their website and from Amazon.

JAMELA Luxurious Gold Crystal Collagen Facial Masks

While Egyptians believed the healing powers of gold could cure all manners of physical and spiritual affections (Cleopatra wore pure gold for a radiant complexion) and Romans used gold preparations for treatment of sore skin, today gold is used to treat and rejuvenate the skin. Many luxury spas offer 24k gold leaf treatments to calm and soothe the skin, preventing fine lines and wrinkles - gold locks in moisture and keeps skin firm by maintaining collagen in the skin holding back the breakdown on elastin. At The Amazing Blog, we've come across the perfect (and luxurious) gold leaf treatment without having to splurge on a spa. The folks at Jamela have developed and exclusive formula for extracting the rejuvenating properties of gold and infused them with organic nutrients and anti-oxidants, into an all natural collagen-based mask. The Luxurious Gold Crystal Collagen Facial Masks claim to aid the promotion of collagen and improve elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I've found that the fabulous Jamela masks leave my skin tighter and definitely brighter.

The application is pretty easy. Cleanse your face and apply carefully the mask to dry skin; to see the effects, the minimum time is 30 minutes, however, it is suggested to wear it for 5 hours overnight to see optimum results. The masks are collagen-based and they dissolve in water above 70° C - so if you fancy a luxurious bath after wearing your mask, we suggest you to throw it into the bath and you'll feel the benefits on the rest of your body too.

At The Amazing Blog we're thrilled with the Jamela Crystal Collagen Facial Masks, they contain 100% high molecular plant collagen with 24k gold and they have this lovely rose scent too.

If you really wish to treat your skin and try the benefits of gold, the 5 mask pack of the Jamela Luxurious Gold Crystal Collagen Face Masks retails at £37.50 and can be purchased through their website.
