Concentrate for Dry Skin - Katherine Daniels

As our skin matures with us, sometimes we can find that its texture and needs change. We at The Amazing Blog, understand how difficult it can be to find products that effectively suit the needs of women with more mature skin. Thankfully we’ve just come across the Katherine Daniels Concentrate for Dry Skin!

This unique product is concentrated with Seaweed peptides to protect and defend against skin aging, along with Phytosqualane and Triglycerides to hydrate and nourish the skin. After use, your skin will feel much softer and plumper! Tests showed a reduction in the number of deep wrinkles of 62% after 28 days. We think the light texture of this moisturiser makes it perfect for both day and night time use. Plus, the smell is wonderfully soft and refreshing.

The Katherine Daniels Concentrate for Dry Skin is available here for £35.

Beauty Sleep Elixir - Beuti Skincare

It’s not often that we find products that can do it all. Here at The Amazing Blog, we love discovering miracle workers that are effective, easy to use, and good for the environment. So when Beuti Skincare’s Beauty Sleep Elixir came across our table, we all had to stop and try it out.

Beauty Sleep Elixir is a potent blend of 100% natural, 98% organic plant oils including: Camellia oil, Chia seed oil, Bitter cherry seed oil, Strawberry seed oil, Pomegranate seed oil, Blueberry seed oil, Cranberry seed oil, Sandalwood nut seed oil, Raspberry seed oil, Seabuckthorn fruit berry oil, Lavender herb oil, Geranium flower oil, Sandalwood oil, and Neroli flower oil. Interestingly, it also makes use of Caribbean coral, and ingredient that neutralizes enzymes responsible for skin aging, acne, and sunburn. This makes the Beauty Sleep Elixir a great product for fighting skin irritation and inflammation. The lightweight formula is rich, but sinks into the skin quickly with a velvety finish. We love the faint scent of lavender and sandalwood, which is quite soothing and relaxing.

Manuka Cleanser & Manuka Hand and Body Cream - Natural Being

Manuka Honey is usually in our go to list of ingredients for our skin care routine. Here at The Amazing Blog we had the chance to try a couple of Natural Being products formulated with Manuka Honey and we loved them!

Out of the 9 products in the range, we have tested the Manuka Cleanser and the Manuka Hand and Body Cream. They are both formulated with authentic, certified and natural Manuka Honey. This active honey possesses strong antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, it is rich in anti-aging antioxidants and naturally hydrates, protects and rejuvenates the skin.

The cleanser has a gentle and creamy texture that left us with a clear and refreshed skin and without a dehydrated feeling. The Manuka Honey helps soothing and maintains moisture, added to the Manuka Oil that ensures skin is clean and glossy. The cream works as an all-over moisturiser also infused with botanical oils. When we tried it, we definitely loved how easily it absorbed into our skin, leaving it soft and protected.

If you also enjoy Manuka Honey in your skin care, you can get the Natural Being cleanser here for £13, the cream here for £13.50; or any other products from its range here.
