Alteya Organics - Rose Face Wash & Organic Bulgarian Rose Water

If there’s a topic that we love talking about at The Amazing Blog’s HQ is skincare – we all have grown into loving and taking care of our skin since we’re surrounded by beauty products 24/7. Our Executive Editor Edwina is very hot on using the right brands, looking up ingredients and using the best of the best for your skin. Having her wide skincare knowledge at our disposal on an everyday basis has definitely changed our mind set for good when it comes to taking care of our pretty faces.

Edwina herself and the girls at The Amazing Blog got overly excited when Alteya Organics products arrived to the office; Certified Organic Skincare with Roses as the main ingredient? Yes, please.

I have been using the Alteya Organics Rose Face Wash for a while now and I just love it. I was quite weary of using a gel cleanser of my skin, as previous experiences involving this consistency have been fatal, leading to overly dry skin. So before giving this face wash a go, I firstly read through its list of ingredients and immediately thought “this is beautiful”… and the very first use didn’t disappoint at all. The texture is something in between a gel and a liquid that when mixed with water, lathers up into this velvety and gentle foam. I massage this for a couple of minutes on my face and neck every morning and evening, take a flannel soaked in lukewarm water and rinse it. My skin feels hydrated and very clean after each use.

I pat dry my skin and I follow my regime with their Organic Rose Water. This water can be used after cleansing or having a shower, after sun exposure and working out too. I personally love multipurpose products; and this Rose Water has worked wonders as a toner. I spray in on my skin directly and let it soak in for a couple of minutes and then pat it dry with a cotton pad. After this step I apply my serums, treatments and moisturiser as usual.

My overview on Alteya Organics’ products is really positive. The products are Certified Organic, they are made from the most beautiful ingredients and they just work. I am really looking forward into trying more products by them!

The Rose Face Wash retails at £14.50 and the Organic Bulgarian Rose Water at £7.95. You can purchase these skincare gems from Amazon.

Kelly Edwards Essential Starter Kit

At The Amazing Blog we love to make sure our skin is clear and healthy each and every day. With Kelly Edwards new 4 piece skincare essential starter set it is easy to cleanse my skin on a routine basis.  With her selection from normal to slightly dry skin this kit can offer people with different skin types a selection to choose from that will match perfectly.

For the past couple of weeks I have been following the weekly routine that Kelly Edwards suggests using her Essential Starter kit. Using the Cleanser, Toner, and Floral Moisturiser twice a day and exfoliating my skin once a week I have began to notice a difference with my skin. Before I go to sleep every night I use the cleanser to gently remove my make up  and wash my face. Then after clearing the everyday grime from my face I use a dab of the toner to hydrate and refresh my skin.The alcohol free floral scented toner has an added bonus to it, after hydrating your skin it restores the pH of my skin. The last step to my daily routine is to moisturise my face. Using the Floral Moisturiser it nourishes and protects my skin with a blend of rich plant oils, vitamins, and esstential oils that will leave my face and skin refreshed for the following day. While the Floral Moisturiser protects your skin, it also protects against radicals to combat the signs of premature ageing. On Sunday I used a little dab of the exfoliating cream to gentle buff away the dead skin cells and unblock my pores. It's nice to know that all of Kelly Edwards products are natural and do not contain any nasties. With all of her products being handmade in Wales, you know you are getting a great product for an affordable price.

With this easy weekly routine my face is glowing and feeling hydrated throughout the week. I have noticed a difference by using this 4 step process and other’s have too! You can find the Kelly Edwards skincare set on-line for £38. This set includes a 100ml Cleanser, 50 ml Toner, 50 ml Floral Moisturiser, and a 50 ml Exfoliating Cream.
