O.Moi Fresh Kick Cooling Cream

The Danes appear to have it all, don’t you think? Tall, handsome, erudite and always it would appear with the perfect complexion … could they be hiding the elixir of beauty amongst their glorious fjords? Well, perhaps not so much hiding it, because fortunately for us at The Amazing Blog there’s a whole host of goodies for both us boys and girls, care of O.Moi. The face behind this delicious brand is Kristèle Sun, originally from Mauritius where her passion for skincare was ignited and she is now based in Denmark. Sun originally sought to find a solution for a mild eczema problem, which led her to the creation of a superb range which is produced in small batches to ensure quality and freshness. This is an award-winning brand, that we originally spotted when it won Best Men’s Shaving Product at The Beauty Shortlist Awards 2018.  You'll see that we have rather a soft spot for this special organic Danish skincare, where you can also read about their All-in-One Multi Purpose Balm (Fragrance-Free) here.

'Fresh' is certainly what this product is all about, as this incredible lightweight Fresh Kick Cooling Cream will testify to. Alongside a thoroughly holistic approach, they have no parabens, silicones, mineral oils or synthetic fragrances. It literally feels like applying the cleanest air to your face, which after slaughtering one’s beard with the razor, is a jolly welcome relief. The scent is light and full of zesty lemon, rosemary and a hint of peppermint oil. However, it is the incredibly soothing sensation, which immediately calmed my razor burn as I complete my regime and won me over. It contains hemp oil which has similar molecular structure as the fats in our skin, this also means it absorbs quickly giving no greasy residue. Plus the vitamins A and E which gives protection to the skin against the first signs of ageing and the damaging effects of free radicals.  This Fresh Kick Cooling made my skin feel as soft as a baby's bottom! For a 50ml bottle, we're looking at £46 available from here and the complete skincare range for both him (and her) is available online too.

Absolute Collagen - Protein Rich Marine Collagen Supplement For Men

Superfoods and supplements have become more and more popular over the past years and we at The Amazing Blog are always on the lookout for new and beneficial supplements to include in our diet. There is still a big trend for ingestible beauty supplements (which means beauty products you swallow rather than apply to your skin) particularly those that are collagen or hyaluronic acid based. We were very interested to hear that the award-winning British brand Absolute Collagen had launched the first-ever men’s ingestible beauty supplement, their Protein Rich Marine Collagen Supplement. We applaud this brand for recognising the need for specific male skincare supplements.

The Protein Rich Marine Collagen has numerous benefits. Fish collagen has superior bioavailability, which means it’s quickly absorbed into the body when digested. Once in the bloodstream, it starts working its magic. The Absolute Collagen supplement encourages the fibroblasts responsible for collagen reproduction to kick-start and therefore helps to fight signs of ageing.

One sachet of 10ml makes a daily dose of the marine collagen. The Supplement is as ‘absolute’ as possible, containing vitamin C for absorption and lemon and sucralose for taste. You can take the marine collagen direct from the sachet or mix it with hot and cold drinks or even add it to yoghurt – the possibilities are endless. We only had a two week supply, and I would like to add that probably I need a lot longer time than just a few weeks, to see significant results. However, I have to say that my joints felt more fluid and my fine lines did start to look slightly more plumped-out. The supplement does actually boast that the skin will look smoother, plumper and more hydrated, so perhaps this is just the start. They also state that the collagen benefits nails, joints, blood vessels, ligaments and tendons as well. I'm very tempted to keep going and order more! You too can order a 14-day supply of the Protein Rich Marine Collagen Supplement for Men here for £29.99.

The Ultimate Sea Salt Spray For Real Men by the Bluebeards Revenge

Now it is probably true that here at The Amazing Blog, our days of hitting the beach to wax our boards before riding some of those riptides may be behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy some of the rituals of our surfer dude lifestyle of years gone by … Which is why this offering from those bristling boffins from The Bluebeards Revenge is causing all manner of interest in the bathroom cabinet. They have come up with The Ultimate Sea Salt Spray For Real Men, and they make no apology for the marketing behind their styling spray going full beam on the celebration of masculinity in all its glory … designed for REAL men, by REAL men - golly the testosterone levels in their production meetings must be off the scale!

Don’t let the skull and crossbones put you off - unless you are part of the Anti-Bum Fluff Brigade who Bluebeard’s Revenge are unashamedly and proudly taking to task … the only potential danger here is an over enthusiastic hair stroker, as they will find the temptation too great to ignore. We are talking 24 Carat Gold Coast authenticity in the beachcomber vibe promising a natural look whilst adding hold, volume, texture AND wave … all from one bottle! 

If you prefer your hairstyling on the salty matt spectrum, then this product will provide it in spades. The fragrance is again utterly masculine with a touch of the traditional  barbershop as a topnote, aligned with Sea Salt Minerals for freshness and deep-rooted nourishment. Add to this potent mix, the company’s stance against animal testing, and we must surely have the elements of a perfect man … well at least the perfect tousled look at any rate.

Detox Face Scrub and Firm & Protect Serum By STOER Skincare For Men

STOER Skincare For Men tackles both ends of the skincare spectrum from dryness and irritation to oiliness and breakouts. STOER believes that all skin concerns are a result of environmental factors, whether you live in a windy rural town or a polluted populated city. The skincare range contains high-tech but easy-to-use products that act as a defence shield for men’s skin.

Active ingredients help to protect the skin from outdoor aggressors such as pollution and adverse weather, as well as indoor aggressors like central heating and air conditioning. The Clima5 Technology is STOER’s unique formula of five plant ingredients from four extremely different climates. These globally-sourced natural extracts consist of Scotland’s peat moss (for hydration), Italy’s alpine plant (for elasticity), West Africa’s baobab leaf (anti-ageing), Japan’s wakame (increases collagen and oxygen) and Mexican barbary fig (soothing and hydrating). STOER’s Firm & Protect Serum is made up of these ingredients, delivering intense hydration and collagen production that is easily absorbed, leaving a matte finish on the skin.

STOER’s Detox Face Scrub works to smooth out the skin, exfoliating the surface for a brighter appearance. Ingredients contain mineral and volcanic exfoliants to remove dead skin and unblock the pores while preventing ingrown hairs. Combine these with STOER’s Clima5 for hydration and protection, and your face has never looked better.

31st State Face, Hair and Body wash- For Men

31st State is the men's skincare and haircare brand that embodies the Californian way of grooming - effortless and easy. The Amazing Blog is intrigued by this approach, especially if it means a longer lie-in in the morning. 31st State uses only natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin, as men can have sensitive skin too!

31st State’s 2-in-1 Hair and Body is enriched with aqua based natural ingredients to help men look and feel well-groomed. The combination of silver and zinc actively controls body odour and bacteria that cause blemished skin. Silver is a natural disinfectant and anti-inflammatory, while zinc soothes the skin and combats odour.

The Foaming Face Wash is ideal for retaining pure and fresh skin. Tea tree and anti-bacterial Manuka work in-sync to get rid of excess oil. In addition, magnesium, copper and zinc help regulate excess sebum and prevent breakouts. This face wash harnesses natural ingredients to maintain unblemished, oil-free and hydrated skin throughout the day.
