Brighten Microdermabrasion System - DermaTx

We all know that exfoliation is one of the most steps to keeping your complexion radiant and glowing. Here at The Amazing Blog, we were lucky enough to receive an at-home microdermabrasion system that helps us polish away dead and dull skin cells to reveal younger looking, brighter skin.

The Brighten Microdermabrasion Treatment System from DermaTx brings professional-looking results into the home. The Brighten system we tried consists of a Cleanse and Exfoliate 2-in-1 handheld device and a microdermabrasion cream containing professional grade corundum crystals and natural brightening agents. It is designed to improve uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, and ageing skin. The Skin Resurfacing Tool comes with two interchangeable attachment heads—a foam one for exfoliating (with the included cream), and a brush for daily cleansing. The foam head helps gently massage the crystals into the skin to gently exfoliate while enabling the active brightening agents to be absorbed more easily. Using it 1-2 times per week will get you the optimal results. The brush head can be used with your daily facial cleanser to help gently loosen dirt and oil to clear your pores. It has been proven that cleansing with a powered device is up to 4x more effective than just using your hands! Using this system regularly will leave you with a radiant and healthy complexion.

Deep Repair Masque – Macadamia Natural Oil

At The Amazing Blog, a frequent complaint in the office is that of dry scalps and lifeless tresses. So it was with great pleasure that we received the Deep Repair Masque from Macadamia Natural Oil, the perfect fix for our hair troubles.

A moisture-rich hair treatment to care for all hair types, the Deep Repair Masque is designed to imitate the hair’s natural oils to nourish dry, coloured or unruly hair. This means women, whether they have thin, thick, straight, curly, coloured or treated hair, to experience their hair in its best condition! The mask conditions the hair with macadamia and argan oils, whilst enriching with aloe, algae extract and chamomile and tea tree oils. Just apply the product liberally to damp, clean hair and leave in for 7 minutes to make hair more voluminous, lustrous and easier to style and manage.

Age Reverse System - Skinova

Here at The Amazing Blog, we have long held the hope that the mythical ‘Fountain of Youth’ is real, with little reward. However, we do know that there are products that are real and that can reduce the signs of ageing, delivering a younger looking complexion. Today, Skinova is our case in point, and a formidable example at that.

Having tried it out myself I’m happy to put my stamp of approval on the Skinova Age Reverse System. This three-step regimen comprises of dermatologically developed: Chamomile Cleanser, C-Stem Treatment Serum and Ultra Benefits Moisturiser, where they claim that results can be experienced within four weeks!  I noted some very impressive statistics, with 87% of patients in a clinical study experiencing noticeable changes in the appearance of lines and wrinkles on their face. Therefore, the Age Reverse System is a definite must-try for any woman who is noticing the effects of ageing on their skin.

The first step was the Chamomile Cleanser, this I found extremely gentle, with no irritation (unusual for my complexion); it definitely did the job by cleansing and softening my skin. I particularly like the active ingredients, which include chamomile, peptides and antioxidants. Then I applied C-Stem Treatment Serum (click here to see an impressive testimonial video) which in my view, is the hero product from the trilogy. The Serum works not only as a skin rejuvenator but also a balancer, making it suitable for all skin types – in fact, I learnt that it also helps to shield your skin from UVA/UVB rays too. For me, after using it for a couple of weeks I definitely noticed a fading of brown sunspots on my forehead (unfortunately highlighted by my regular use of face tanning products!) So this makes it a winner in my eyes. The formula claims to reactivate 14 genes responsible for the production of Collagen, Elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid,  which helps to reduce the accelerated ageing protein Progerin.  Key ingredients to keep the severity of wrinkles and lines at bay and help minimise pores are lilac stem cells, vitamin C and marine extracts. The third and final part of my twice daily skincare regimen was the Ultra Benefits Moisturiser.  This contains a strong antioxidant called Lipochroman that protects from free radicals and leaves skin looking more luminous. I felt that this helped to plump up my skin giving it better hydration and of course by combining it with the Serum it gave me a double-whammy effect with fading my hyper-pigmentation.

I’d definitely recommend this three-step regimen for anyone needing a skincare boost or wanting a more jubilant complexion. See Skinova Age Reverse System here for £154.
