BEYofi by Bernard D. Evans – Argan Hair Care

Are you exhausted by your constant split ends? Then read on, because we at The Amazing Blog find having a dry scalp, split ends and frizzy hair a nightmare too. Having tried endless products to solve these various hair issues, we found that they tend to either have too many chemical-based derivatives which irritate our scalps, or are too heavy for the texture of our hair. However, we received the new to the UK market BEYofi Argan Oil Signature hair care range - ready for us to try.

BEYofi is an established US brand by Bernard Evans since 1986. Bernard is best known as a celebrity hairstylist, working with an exclusive clientele such as Janet Jackson, Latoya Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Julie Brown, Teddy Pendergrass… His work has also been sought by the leader companies in the beauty industry: Christian Dior, Revlon, Estee Lauder and Lancôme. Bernard is a a pioneer in the industry launching exclusive formulas, guaranteeing high-quality ingredients in his products, all of which have helped to make him the success he is today.

Today we bring you the range of four BEYofi Argan Oil Signature hair care products to add to your must-have hair essentials, and this range certainly has helped to address our hair care concerns (as mentioned above). For those of you who don’t know about  Argan oil, it is extracted from the kernels of the Moroccan Argan tree and is also known as the ‘liquid gold’. Argan is one of the products richest in vitamin E and fatty acids which are extremely beneficial for both hair and skin containing antioxidants and boosting cells to produce healthy hair. If you have tinted hair or have been using chemical-based products, then Argan is the ingredient for you to help reverse any damage.

Let’s begin with the BEYofi Argan Enriched Shampoo. Made with Argan oil, omega 3 and omega 9 as primary ingredients, will nurture your hair and scalp by providing your pores and roots with these essential oils to help grow strong proteins, keep good maintenance of your hair to heal and revitalise it where needed. Treat it like any other shampoo, a small amount massaged onto wet hair, rinse and so on. The fragrance of the first three in the range is floral with a subtle hint of violets. This leads us onto the BEYofi Argan Oil Conditioner, where you can choose from either this classic conditioner, leaving it for up to two minutes after you shampoo and rinse, or go for the BEYofi Argan Oil Leave-in Conditioner which is just sprayed onto the hair (wet or dry), making it easy to detangle and style. Both these BEYofi Argan Oil Conditioners deeply moisturise and give intense nourishment making hair smooth easy to manage and style. Lastly, the BEYofi Argan Oil Serum is ideal for protecting the hair from day-to-day pollution. Rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids, your hair will look shinier than ever due to its moisturising capacity. Apply a few drops of the Serum and wrap your damp clean hair in a hot towel for 10 minutes to let it penetrate into the hair shafts. Or we applied to the ends of the hair combing through before drying. We found this range worked best when used all together, and is particularly suitable for those who have coloured or fine and brittle hair types.  Best of all, the BEYofi Argan Oil haircare products are vegan, free from SLS, Sulphates, SLES, Parabens and artificial fragrances, ensuring optimal results giving you a healthy, silky hair. Purchase your BEYofi Argan Signature hair care collection here starting at £21.95 to strengthen, heal, and protect your hair saying a firm goodbye to split ends.

Drasanvi - Chia Seeds and Collmar-Cao

As we make our way further into 2018, it’s easy to forget those resolutions we made back in January. No matter what your goal for the year is, it’s never too late to add a health kick to your list, as it’s usually around this time of year when we need to give our body that little boost from Mother Nature. At The Amazing Blog, our secret to maintaining our health and keeping our energy levels up is the Drasanvi Chia Seeds and the chocolate drink Collmar-Cao. Drasanvi is a Spanish brand that has been producing high-quality food supplements for over 20 years and we already know we adore their Collmar Marine Collagen line, so we can say with certainty it's a brand we trust. Their teams are made up of biologists, chemists and nutritionists constantly researching to improve the formulas of their products or to find new ways of extracting natural active ingredients from plants, fruits and minerals.

Collmar-Cao is a food supplement made with pure cacao. This drink powder is enriched with vitamins C, B2, B6, B12 as well as magnesium, calcium, iron and marine collagen. Therefore it's not just super yummy but also benefits your whole body and well-being. The Collmar-Cao is also packed with proteins and minerals, which will boost your metabolism and combat fatigue. The chocolatey flavour makes it an ideal addition to your breakfast; just add to your milk of choice, hot or cold, stir, and enjoy. 

The Chia Seeds are a must have superfood for anyone looking for a quick and easy way to get in some much needed nutrients. Chia Seeds are naturally packed with vitamins, Omega 3, 6, 9 and minerals including iron and magnesium. In addition to being a great source of fibre and protein, these seeds have a delightfully subtle nutty flavour that goes well with a wide range of recipes. Simply add them to your daily oatmeal, smoothie, and even juices or soak them and watch as they expand into a gel that is perfect for baking. The seeds are free from sugar, preservatives and colouring and have earned their superfood title for a reason.

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day and getting it in is key to leading a healthy lifestyle, which is why we adore how easy both of these supplements make it for us to achieve our goals. You can purchase the Chia Seeds here for £9.95 and the Collmar-Cao here for £14.95.

Anti-Ageing Supplements - Lumity

At The Amazing Blog, we are firm believers that the prevention of signs of ageing goes beyond miracle creams - although they certainly help. To truly stay looking as youthful as you can it's important to take care of yourself from the inside out. As the people at Lumity put it, the body is an ‘infinitely intelligent network of interdependent processes’, and therefore anti-ageing should be tackled in a multi-faceted approach. We couldn't agree more about these Anti-Ageing Supplements. These supplements are the first food supplement to address all nine causes of ageing  (most skin care and supplements target only 1 or 2 areas).

Lumity was created, after years of research, to create a more target approach to anti-ageing and produce supplements to help you maintain health, energy and radiance as you grow older. The supplements provide nutrition to benefit skin, hair and nails, the brain, bones, joints, muscles and teeth, the immune system and the metabolism. With one tablet in the morning for a ‘rich day’ and one in the evening for a ‘restful night’, you are receiving targeted nutrition that supports the entire body. Noticeable benefits include firmer and more radiant skin, deeper sleep, improved hormonal balance, higher energy levels and immune resilience. The supplement contains a clever and all-natural combination of targeted and high-quality nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and amino acids, all suspended in flaxseed oil. These work to give you health, vitality and beauty, inside and out.

Unsurprisingly we are not the only fans of Lumity, and it has just been named as one of the top 3 anti-ageing supplements by The Times. It has been named as the 'Editors Choice' by The Beauty Shortlist Awards 2017, and if that's not enough of a commendation; then the fact that Harrods have selected it as one of only four wellness brands to go on their dedicated well-being stand in their Beauty Apothecary certainly is.

Purchase a month's supply of Lumity for £90 or subscribe to their newsletter and an automatic monthly supply, then you can get 15% off and free shipping = £76.50 a month here.  You can find your nearest UK stockist here.
