Body Care Range - c.Booth

We just got to the middle of the week and all we want to do is take a nice, hot bath and indulge in some well-deserved pampering. Here at The Amazing Blog we have discovered c. Booth, perfect to make that relaxation session a whole lot better. We got the opportunity to try the Walnut Shell Body Scrub and Cleanser, All Over Body Sea Salt Scrub, and the Italian Olive Oil Butter. Combined, they were enough to send us into a daydream holiday by the sea.

c. Booth prides itself on providing the ultimate bathing experience whilst giving you nourished, smooth and soft skin. The Walnut Shell Body Scrub & Cleanser will make you feel like you are in nutty heaven. Rose Hip, Balm Mint, and Kola Nut have been blended to engulf you in a gorgeous scent whilst rejuvenating your skin. This exfoliating cleanser will cleanse your skin and get rid of those impurities whilst moisturising at the same time. The Sea Salt Scrub will also slough off any rough, tough, and dull skin whilst purifying and replenishing it with its Algae extract. You just have to massage the scrub in circular movements to start feeling an immediate difference in your skin. The holiday experience doesn’t stop here! The Italian Oil Body Butter features a blend of Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Coco Butter and Kola Nut to soften and eliminate any dry skin leaving a lovely smell too.

Riad Of Aromas - Sensitive Skincare

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re lucky enough to be constantly trying out new products, but sadly, we come across the occasional cream that irritates our skin. When we’re feeling a little sensitive, it’s a relief to find products designed to treat exactly that. Free from chemicals, alcohol, and all of the other skin drying nasties, Riad of Aromas is the answer to all our prayers.

Riad of Aromas takes pride in concocting the cleanest skincare, perfect for treating sensitive skin of all kinds. The range of botanical ingredients in their products treat a plethora of problems that trouble our complexions throughout the seasons. Of the three products we tried, we couldn't find fault with any of them. Their Cherry and Juniper Berry Gentle Hydrating Cleanser not only smells divine, but it removed our make-up with ease, leaving us with a soothed and hydrated face.  It easily wipes away the grime of the day, whilst maintaining your skin’s natural PH, ideal for those who struggle with breakouts. We followed with the Hydrating Neroli & Rose Maroc Hydration Bio Mist Toner. Rich in Omega 3 and other natural oils, the mist has a wonderfully cooling effect on the complexion, perfect for spritzing on a hot summer day. Last but certainly not least, we tried the Jasmine and Prickly Pear Replenishing Face Cream, which is great for combating even the driest of skin. The subtley scented cream left our skin feeling rejuvenated, plumped and youthful.

For those looking to calm and soothe your skin, Riad of Aromas is a real luxury treat. You can buy their products here, prices start at just £16. 

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.

Själ

Like most 20-somethings, I have a love-hate relationship with my skin. Some weeks it'll be clear, and others I've seriously considered wearing a bag over my head. So I'm constantly trying new cleansers, toners and moisturisers to get that elusive, long-lasting perfect skin. And I think I may have come close with Själ's skincare range. I've been using the Combination Skin Essential Kit quite religiously for the past month and I can really tell a difference in my skin. The kit comes with Balans Deep Pore Cleanser, Light Cellular Renewal Cream, and the Perfecting Mask. From the first few times I used the products, I could feel how high quality they were, they just feel so luxurious on your skin. It took about a week for me to see a visible difference, and as a rule of thumb I like to give products a good amount of time to trial, as sometimes it takes a while for your skin to react.The cleanser is light but effective - I'm used to my facial cleansers foaming up, but the Balans cleanser stays light as you use it. The cream smooths over your skin easily, and you really don't need a lot to do the job, and considering the price that's a bonus in my book. The mask is as light as the cream, so you only need to smooth on one layer and leave it, afterwards it leaves your skin silky smooth. The Själ range is so unique and effective because of it's use of gemstones and minerals, they increase cellular productivity, provide skin clarity and micro-circulation. Själ  products use the highest quality ingredients and don't use silicone caffeine or petroleum jelly. Even though I've not tried the whole range, I'd be pretty comfortable saying they'd be as effective as the products I've been using.
