Natura Siberica - Sauna & Spa Slimming Icy Sugar Body Scrub

We are all guilty of wanting to lose a few extra pounds without the workout, and here at The Amazing Blog we are no exception. While this may seem an impossible dream, we were pleased to discover that the Sauna & Spa Slimming Icy Sugar Body Scrub from Natura Siberica can actually help to lift skin and shed some of our extra weight. Count us in!

While we may have been skeptical at first, we were glad to discover that this Body Scrub lives up to its promise of smoother and more toned skin. The scrub is packed full of all sorts of unique Siberian ingredients such as Wild Juniper and Organic Meadowsweet that are super concentrated with vitamins and minerals. The product not only exfoliates, but actually enhances your skin’s natural immunity to toxins. Wild Harvested Milfoil helps to improve your body’s contours and make you look slimmer by increasing skin firmness and elasticity.  Artic Raspberry Seed Oil and Wild Mint stimulate the skins natural metabolic process and leave your skin rejuvenated. The bright scent of the scrub combined with its relaxing effects leave the skin feeling as if we’d just had a professional spa treatment.

If that wasn’t enough, the Icy Sugar Body Scrub is free from Parabens, Silicones, Synthetic Dyes and GMOs. The wild-harvested Siberian ingredients all hail from local communities. You can use this product with peace of mind knowing that its production support small Siberian tribes.

If you find yourself in need of a spa day that leaves you a bit thinner, the Sauna & Spa Slimming Icy Sugar Body Scrub can be bought here for just £11.59 or can be purchased at Wholefoods Market and Harrods. 

ARK - Invigorating Body Scrub

As regular readers of The Amazing Blog will know I’m a bit of a fan of the ARK Skincare range. I first discovered the brand when I was given their wonderful Nourishing Body Lotion  and as you will see from my post, I did rather eulogise about it! Still I have to say, that even today it’s one of my favourite Body Lotion. However, I am now reviewing their Invigorating Body Scrub l which I had my eye on for a while… And just to reiterate from my previous post, Age Appropriate Skincare , ARK Skincare has divided its skin therapy into three age appropriate product lines. Starting with ‘Age Prepare’ (late teens to early 30s), ‘Age Maintain’ (mid 30s to 50) and finally moving onto their ‘Age Repair’ (50 and beyond). This Body Scrub is part of the ‘Essential Skincare’ range and seems to span across all three of these age-related product ranges. ARK believes that there are two main skin transitional periods in the ageing process where there is a dramatic shift in hormone production and a significant change in the way the body functions; i.e. in late 20s to early 30s and late 50s to early 60s.  What I particularly liked about this Invigorating Body Scrub is that is very gentle but also extremely effective. It smells divine (echoing a similar fragrance to the Body Lotion) and contains small flakes of loofah (a very nice and natural ingredient), as well as Multifruit Acids and invigorating Mint.

As my beauty routine changes seasonally, this is the time of year when I need to have an excellent body scrub on hand. It is my essential item in order to keep my skin looking tip-top. As any regular user of fake tan will know, it’s crucial to exfoliate at least twice a week sloughing off the dead skin cells to keep an even looking tan for longer. This ARK Invigorating Body Scrub truly did not disappoint, it banished dry patches and energised my skin ready for a fresh application of my chosen fake tan. This tidy little 200ml tube at £24 really does now have pride of place in my shower and I’m sure will continue to stay there for many other seasons to come.

SPAtopia London Argan Oil Bodycare

If you ask me, there is nothing better than to find good quality and affordable beauty products - many times we just forget or don't want to realise the amount of money we spend on just one face cleanser because of the rave reviews it gets. That's why at The Amazing Blog we're thrilled by this A-list beauty discovery - SPAtopia London has launched a fabulous Argan Oil Bodycare range. Their products are affordable and work wonders.

The SPAtopia London Argan Oil Bodycare consists of 5 products: Bath Relaxer, Body Butter, Body Oil, Body Wash and Body Scrub. At The Amazing Blog we've had the chance to try the latter two out. The Argan Oil Body Wash is very creamy and feels luxurious on the skin, it lathers easily and it's very moisturizing - a definite winner for those of you with dry or flaky skin. The Argan Oil Body Scrub is a rich cream with very small and rounded scrubbing bits that don't feel harsh on the skin at all. This scrub polishes and nourishes the skin effectively, leaving it smooth and silky soft.

Both products smell absolutely amazing, the whole range is enriched with essential oils of Lemon, Patchouli and Petitgrain. Argan Oil has been on trend for a while now in the beauty industry - it has great skincare benefits and it's exceptionally rich in Vitamin E and Omega Essential Fatty Acids, and therefore well known for its anti-ageing, moisturising and anti-oxidant properties.

At The Amazing Blog we love featuring good quality and affordable products, and the SPAtopia London Argan Oil Bodycare Range has fulfilled our high hopes. This fabulous and luxurious feeling range is widely available from Sainsbury's - the Body Scrub retails at £4.49 and the Body Wash at £3.49. You can't really go wrong.
