As we've mentioned a many times before, the gang at The Amazing Blog loves allrounder products. The winter has been and is being very harsh - gloves, faux fur coats and good boots keep us protected from the entreme cold. One beauty product that we've been relying on lately is PURE Papaya Ointment - the 100% natural, petrochemical-free skin care essential from Australia.

In addition to papaya, or paw paw; ingredients include soothing calendula, shea butter, jojoba oil, macadamia oil, styrax benzoin resin, silica, beeswax and vitamin E. PURE Papaya Ointment soothes, moisturises and protects your skin - it goes beyond a lip balm, a body butter or a body oil; it's the ultimate multipurpose skin care product that can be used for so many skin ailments. The girls at The Amazing Blog always carry one these tubes in their bags! It has quickly become one of our handbag essentials.

You can use PURE Papaya Ointment as a lip balm, a body moisturiser, as an aftercare for tattoos, post epilation, post shave, as an eyecream... it's versatility leaves us speechless.

You can purchase this winter skincare essential though their website.

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.

EE's Cosmetics Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream

 

Our fellow readers of The Amazing Blog may already know that we love all things organic and packed with goodness. Preservatives and harsh chemicals can be found in approximately 75-90 % of cosmetics such as make-up, lotion, deodorants and shampoos etc... these are absorbed by the skin and dispersed throughout the body by the bloodstream - leading in some cases to a disruption of the body's hormonal balance or even to breast cancer. At The Amazing Blog, we encourage our readers to invest in natural products, as the benefits are noticeable in the long run. Today's post is on EE's Cosmetics' Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream, The Amazing Blog's best kept secret.

EE's Cosmetics products are unique formulations designed to minimise the effects of Age has on our skin as well as repairing existing damage. They are hand made with the utmost attention only using carefully selected natural ingredients in therapeutic quantities and sourced only from the most reputable suppliers, and in limited batches ensuring maximum freshness. The Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream is rich in Macadamia, Argan, Baobab and Watermelon Seed Oils making this cream exceptionally nourishing and restorative - the Carrot and Cranberry extracts stimulate cell growth, improving the complexion and adding tone and elasticity to the skin. With the chilly days and constant weather changes, my skin has been feeling very dry and tight, and EE's Cosmetics Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream has completely changed the appearance and texture of my skin - its rich formula has made wonders for my skin. Besides, it smells delicious and not artificial at all.

At The Amazing Blog, we couldn't be more pleased with EE's Cosmetics products - they're natural, free from harsh and unnecessary chemicals, cruelty free and handmade. In fact we all loved texture and smell of this face cream so much that we had to 'toss for it' (lucky me I got it!) You can purchase this fabulous cosmetics from EE's Cosmetics website - the Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream retails at £22.00 for 25ml.

Bodhi Desert Rose Rejuvenating Facial Oil

As beauty junkies, at The Amazing Blog we have jumped on the bandwagon of treatment oils and we just can't get enough of them - no matter if we use them on our hair, our body or we add them to our skincare routine, the results always seem to be fantastic. A few months ago we featured on The Amazing Blog the Ylang Ylang Incensa Sensual Body Moisturizer and the Bath & Shower Therapy by Bodhi, and today it's the turn of their Desert Rose Rejuvenating Facial Oil. This exquisite face oil claims to improve the skin tone, refine skin and diminish fine lines leaving the skin radiant, feeling softer and looking youthful.

Rich in essential vitamins, antioxidants and fatty-acids, this oil is created to intensely hydrate the skin, helping stimulate skin cell rejuvenation and increasing cell regeneration. The key active ingredients are: Bulgarian Damask Rose Otto (great emollient and radiance boosting), Organic Moroccan Argan Oil (very rich in fatty acids and cell integrity preserver), Rosehip Seed Oil (helps diminishing the signs of aging and restores the moisture balance), Tunisian Neroli Oil (improves skin's elasticity), Kukui Nut Oil (rich in antioxidants for younger-looking skin), Strawberry Seed Oil (improves skin tone and protects the skin from free radicals), Evening Primrose Oil (revitalises tired and mature skin) and Vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant that helps premature aging). Each 30 ml bottle oil contains approximately 320 fresh roses, as it takes about a million roses to produce 1kg of oil. The final result is an ultra-fine and luxurious feeling oil and leaves your skin juicy and plumpier.

Even though I'm in my mid-twenties and I don't suffer from fine lines, I do have dehydrated skin and I've found that the Bodhi Desert Rose Rejuvenating Facial Oil has helped me improving the condition of my skin, leaving it supple, hydrated and glowy.

Bodhi Desert Rose Rejuvenating Face Oil 30 ml launched at an introductory price of £46 at participating stockists. This offer lasts until the end of September 2012. Therefater, it will retail at £56.
