Weleda - Evening Primrose Collection

Research shows that humans are living longer lives, and that’s why we here at The Amazing Blog have made sure to keep you informed on the latest anti-ageing products! We all want to age as gracefully as we can, and keep our skin looking youthful as we do. The new Weleda Evening Primrose collection has routines to keep both your face and body looking healthy.

The collection is organic and 100% natural, which is not always the case with anti-ageing products. We don't like putting loads of chemicals on our faces or on our bodies, and we don't think our readers like that very much either. We believe that the more simple the ingredients list, the better the product. 

Evening Primrose is the absolute star of this line. The oil from the seeds retains moisture in the skin and removes rough patches, which keeps skin looking supple and moisturised. It also promotes cell growth and regeneration, making it the perfect anti-ageing combatant. The fragrance also incorporates notes of magnolia, cardamom and sandalwood to put your mind and body at ease.

The Evening Primrose Facial Collection includes Age Revitalising Day Cream, Age Revitalising Night Cream and Age Revitalising Eye and Lip Cream all for around £24 which can be bought here.

The Evening Primrose Body Collection includes Age Revitalising Body Lotion for £21.95, Age Revitalising Body Oil for £21.95, Age Revitalising Body Wash for £8.95 and Age Revitalising Hand Cream for £11.95. All of which can be bought here as well. 

Badger Balm - Organic Body & Skincare

Here at The Amazing Blog, as our readers know, we're all for organic products containing home grown ingredients. But the first thing that really appealed to us when we received samples from Badger Balm was the crazy cute badger who resides on the packaging!

This is a fab brand from the USA that has created a range of organic balms and skincare products that are free from petroleum and artificial colours. We just cant get enough of the variety of products. We tried the Hardworking Hands Balm, Peppermint & Tea-tree Foot Balm, Lavender & Bergamot Sleep Balm  and the set of Classic Lip Balms which all come in little pocket sized tins and handy packaging, perfect for make up and weekend bags everywhere. We highly recommend trying the Cheerful Mind Balm, designed to lift spirits when you’re feeling a little run down - we've certainly passed that around the office when one of us is feeling a little blue. However, our favourite product is the Lavender & Bergamot Sleep Balm because it is just so relaxing, unusual and, different from what we normally try out at The Amazing Blog. If you suffer from restless nights, this product is perfect. The scents infuse to create a soothing fragrant lullaby to send you off swiftly to sleep after a hectic day at the office. After all we all need some help getting those precious Zzz's now and then. Thanks to Badger Balm we can come into the office refreshed and ready to face the day.

 All Badger Balm products are available on their home website here  or  internationally here. Prices range from £3 to £30.

Bio2 You Organic Seabuckthorn Hand Cream and Eye Contour Cream

Due to the colder weather, we have noticed that our hands are drier and in much need of a good quality hand cream. As you will know by now, here at The Amazing Blog we are very passionate about natural and organic skincare – especially when it comes to our skincare products. So, when Bio2 You kindly sent us their Organic Seabuckthorn Hand Cream and their Organic Seabuckthorn Eye Contour Cream, the girls in the office were excited to try them out.

We are slightly obsessed with hand creams here at The Amazing Blog and have more than we should mention on our desks and in our handbags... But there was something special about the Bio2 You Hand Cream. It is very silky feeling, absorbs well and smells very natural, rather than having a chemical fragrance. In fact all Bio2 You’s products are 100% natural and organic so there is nothing harmful to your skin.

The cream is very moisturising and my hands felt so soft and smooth after application. The combination of shea butter, vegetable oils, seabuckthorn oil, mallow and aloe extracts create a fantastic cream that is nourishing and works a treat to protect nails and cuticles also. Perfect for the colder weather.

We also tried out their Eye Contour Cream, which is a unique formula that stimulates the production of collagen, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing the formation of new lines around the eyes. The cream has a similar luxury feel and natural smell as the hand cream. Both products make use of seabuckthorn, a fantastic ingredient with exceptionally high levels of vitamin C, E and A and is also rich in both amino and omega acids.

If you are interested in seeing the benefits of seabuckthorn in your skincare routine you can find out more information about Bio2 You and their products on their website. Both products can be purchased on the website, the Organic Seabuckthorn Hand Cream retails at £19.95 for 100ml and the Organic Eye Contour Seabuckthorn Cream is £24.95 for 15ml.

Get some honey into your routine with Bee Nature

You may put Honey in your tea, or on a peanut butter sandwich, but have you ever considered its use for beauty products? Honey is an ingredient popping up in all kinds of new products on the market. Us girls at The Amazing Blogknow a few things about the benefits of honey on the skin, which is why we were very excited to try Bee Nature’s new Shower Milk and Body Lotion.

Bee Nature is a new 100% Belgian cosmetic company that specialise in ‘natural products with honey and plant extracts’. It was founded by Marine, who grew up with a chemist and pharmacist as parents, so it was natural that she would end up in the world of body products. Currently as small range, Bee Nature’s products are indulgent, delicious, and natural. Honey has been used since the dawn of time for many kinds of remedies, involving treating wounds. This is because it is a natural antiseptic, which means it is perfect for those who suffer from “problem skin” or have issues like acne and red patches.

First of all, I must mention the amazing scent. Good enough to eat! Because of the honey, it has quite an edible smell, but in the best way! The shower milk feels absolutely decadent on the skin and lathers nicely. It has lemon and verbena which makes it very moisturising and toning for the skin. The honey included in the formula means it is very soothing to the skin and packed full of antioxidants. The Body Milk Lotion is also incredibly moisturising, healing, and toning. This is credited to the inclusion of aloe juice, hyaluronic acid and chamomile oil in the formula.

Another wonderful thing about Bee Nature's products is that the packaging is very specially designed. It is eco friendly and perfect for storing in your bathroom as the seal is air tight. This means that your products will always be fresh and like new! If you are interested in seeing the whole range from Bee Nature or purchasing the lovely Shower Milk and Body Lotion, which retail at £7.83 and £9.41 respectively, visit the Bee Nature website.
