24/7 Balm by Face Matters

A beautiful face balm is a big weakness of ours at The Amazing Blog, and in our expert opinion Face Matters make one of the best anti-ageing and restorative balms on the market. The Face Matters 24/7 Balm is an award-winning multi-functioning balm that won an editor’s choice award at the 2017 Beauty Shortlist Awards

The 24/7 Balm uses the same base ingredient, pure organic silicon, as all of Face Matters other products. This ingredient helps to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, which is an essential part of the formation of connective tissue and helps hair, skin and nails grow and appear youthful. Collagen is effectively the glue that holds us together and keeps us looking, healthier, younger and beautiful.

The balm itself is nourishing and luxurious when applied, acting as a super restorative treatment or an exfoliator. The solid balm melts effortlessly between your fingers into a rich and buttery feel that soaks into the skin. The quickest way to use the product is to massage it into skin before removing the excess product with a muslin cloth.  Our favourite way to use it, however, is to apply it as an overnight treatment.  Simply massage it into skin before bed and wake up to younger, more hydrated and glowing skin. The balm doesn’t sit on the face and is slowly absorbed as your skin regenerates itself overnight, so you don't have to worry about it rubbing off on to your pillow. This is an excellent way to keep skin looking healthy as we approach the colder winter months, especially if your skin dries out in the cold weather like ours does. 

This is a beautiful product that leaves you feeling pampered all day long. You can purchase the 24/7 balm here for £55.00

Oskia - Bedtime Beauty Boost

elia's monday My skin is having a rough time this winter. It feels dry and dehydrated; no matter what products I use on my skin, the central heating and the changes of temperature are leaving it dull and dry. On times like these I always tend to use a richer cream befote going to bed – I go for richer textures that feel luxurious on the skin. Oskia Bedtime Beauty Boost is one of those gems that has made my skin feel comfortable and elastic again.

Although this cream is aimed to older skins, I’ve found Oskia’s cream has given my mid-twenties complexion a radiance and elasticity boost. The texture of the cream is light and non-greasy. Oskia’s Bedtime Beauty Boost brightens, hydrates and treats the first signs of aging too. One of the best things of this cream it's its smell: a deep Bulgarian Rose perfume and a hint of Oskia signature Rose-Lychee.

Oskia’s Bedtime Beauty Boost has quickly become one of my staples of my evening skincare routine. It’s rich without being greasy and its smell is relaxing enough befote going to sleep.

You can purchase Oskia’s fantastic products on their website.Bedtime Beauty Boost is available in two sizes: 50 ml and 15ml. They retail at £74.00 and £24.00.
