Anti-Ageing Supplements - Lumity

At The Amazing Blog, we are firm believers that the prevention of signs of ageing goes beyond miracle creams - although they certainly help. To truly stay looking as youthful as you can it's important to take care of yourself from the inside out. As the people at Lumity put it, the body is an ‘infinitely intelligent network of interdependent processes’, and therefore anti-ageing should be tackled in a multi-faceted approach. We couldn't agree more about these Anti-Ageing Supplements. These supplements are the first food supplement to address all nine causes of ageing  (most skin care and supplements target only 1 or 2 areas).

Lumity was created, after years of research, to create a more target approach to anti-ageing and produce supplements to help you maintain health, energy and radiance as you grow older. The supplements provide nutrition to benefit skin, hair and nails, the brain, bones, joints, muscles and teeth, the immune system and the metabolism. With one tablet in the morning for a ‘rich day’ and one in the evening for a ‘restful night’, you are receiving targeted nutrition that supports the entire body. Noticeable benefits include firmer and more radiant skin, deeper sleep, improved hormonal balance, higher energy levels and immune resilience. The supplement contains a clever and all-natural combination of targeted and high-quality nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and amino acids, all suspended in flaxseed oil. These work to give you health, vitality and beauty, inside and out.

Unsurprisingly we are not the only fans of Lumity, and it has just been named as one of the top 3 anti-ageing supplements by The Times. It has been named as the 'Editors Choice' by The Beauty Shortlist Awards 2017, and if that's not enough of a commendation; then the fact that Harrods have selected it as one of only four wellness brands to go on their dedicated well-being stand in their Beauty Apothecary certainly is.

Di Blasi – Multitasking Butter and Prickly Pear and Manna Cream

When we get home from The Amazing Blog Office, the last thing we want to do is endure a long skincare regime. However, we have found a solution to this possible problem with the Di Blasi’s Multitasking Butter Makeup Remover as well as the Prickly Pear and Manna Cream. In fact, all you need is just these two products to have clean, soft and hydrated skin.

What we love about the Di Blasi brand and these two products is that they shorten your skincare regime in just two quick simple steps. The Multitasking Butter not only removes your make up with ease but also soothes and hydrates your skin. The ingredients contain no alcohol, so you can wipe away the impurities without stinging your eyes. The Multitasking Butter can be used as a face cream, lip balm, hand cream and even helps to soothe your sunburn, so perfect for the forthcoming summer season. Blended with Shea and Mango Butter, calendula flowers, wheat oil and infused with organic lemon essential oil; which gives it a lovely light fragrance.

The Prickly Pear and Manna Cream will give your skin that extra hydration without leaving behind any oily residue. It is ideal for either oily or combination skin types as it has a blend of natural polysaccharides and mucilage from the prickly pear pads, with sugars from the Manna (which is grown in Sicily) all of which will help keep your skin looking tip top for the spring.

For that glowing and youthful looking complexion, purchase online at Di Blasi here which is £35 for the Multitasking Butter and £32.70 for the Prickly Pear and Manna Cream here.

001 Skincare - Ultimate Renewal Serum Duo

Here at The Amazing Blog we love a bit of luxury in our skincare regime, so it was no surprise that we were ecstatic at the thought of trying 001 Skincare’s Ultimate Renewal Serum Duo. One of their new Explorer Kits, this duo is the ultimate skin set for nourishing, hydrating and renewing all skin types. It is particularly effective at rejuvenating mature, dry or damaged skin. We assure you, you’ll feel like a new woman!

The two serums, Intensive Elixir and the Active Marine Power Concentrate, are designed to promote healthy, balanced and radiant skin. The Elixir is an oil based serum made up of 7 bio-dynamic and essential oils, 4 pure plant extracts and just a hint of Vitamin E. It seems unbelievable that just a few drops of this magic elixir hold so much nourishment for the skin. We loved the silky texture and beautifully floral scent that came from the Rose Absolute. Since using this elixir our skin has felt firmer, moisturised and those dreaded dark spots have faded dramatically.

The Concentrate, on the other hand, is an Algae based serum designed to intensely repair environmental damage and brighten the complexion. The super concentrate is packed with a series of antioxidants, CQ10, Multi-Citrus actives, Raspberry, Green Tea and Vitamin C. Deep, effective nourishment seems to be pattern in 001 Skincare. After using the concentrate, our skin is simply glowing and it’s given a stunning collagen-plumping effect. In conjunction with the elixir, we are in skincare heaven. The beautifully packaged Explorer Kit even includes a vibrant, gold sequin makeup bag with a satin lining. The whole package screams luxury and indulgence.

Janssen Cosmetics - Dry Skin Range

When we received Janssen Cosmetics here at The Amazing Blog, I was over the moon because the products were designed towards the dry skin I unfortunately am blessed with.  

We were lucky to receive a cleanser, a firming tonic and a day vitalizer. First off, I tried the Mild Creamy Cleanser. This cleansing lotion leaves skin feeling clear and protected both during and after cleansing. It is rich in natural fatty acids and also vitamins A, E and D. Use this product daily to gain the full benefits of the cleanser. The creamy consistency is particularly easy to apply and wash off.

I also tried the Radiant Firming Tonic which I thought was brilliant as my pores were visibly finer and my face felt refreshed. The tonic contains active ingredients which include soluble collagen which is profoundly moisturising and firming to skin. It is important to find a toner that does not dry out your skin, and this toner is super moisturising and left my skin looking radiant.

Lastly I tried the Day Vitalizer, which is a moisturising day cream. Once again the product's light consistency was easy to spread on my face and was rapidly absorbed. This moisturiser contain four active ingredients including Hyaluronic acid, Codium Tomentosum, Imperta Cylindrical and Macadamia Oil, each with their own incredible benefits to your skin.

Janssen Cosmetics have a massive range of products which we would recommend browsing here. Prices for products in the Dry Skin range start at only £20.00. I am really in love with this product range and will definitely be adding them to my beauty skincare regime. 

Kris D'Amour - Deep Nourishing Cleansing Balm and Intensive Soothing Face Moisturiser

Now that the cold weather is finally upon us, we at The Amazing Blog have begun to notice that our skin is starting to suffer. Thankfully, we were sent Kris D’Amour products that met all of our skin treatment needs. Overall, the Cleansing Balm and the Intensive Soothing Face Moisturiser have both officially become our skincare go-to’s for this winter.

The first thing that we noticed about both products was the herbal and earthy mixed scents of green tea, lavender and patchouli plant oils. Along with containing a marvellous smell, the products treat a wide range of skin types, whether it be oily, sensitive or dry. So, how do they do it?

The Deep Nourishing Cleansing Balm contains an incredibly effective combination of essential oils (Chamomile, Lavender, and Rose/Geranium) which help to reduce skin redness, fight inflammations, as well help to calm dry and irritated skin. The different oils and butters (Organic Shea butter, Avocado butter, Organic Sesame oil, Organic Argan and Avocado) fully hydrate the skin and repair the skins natural moisture barrier, making it feel soft and smooth. Additionally, the unique vanilla

 The Intensive Soothing Face Moisturiser was developed to specifically designed to treat the dry, sensitive and dehydrated skin type, which is usually prone to irritation and eczema. The moisturiser contains Sea Buckthorn, which is an oil that’s rich in Vitamins, minerals and anti-inflammatory agents. Together, they effectively calm, repair, heal and promote cell regeneration. The product is also enriched with Vitamins E and A, which protects cells from breakdown and improves immunity and vision.

Most skincare products contain high amounts of synthetic ingredients which have little actual skincare benefit.  Kris d'Amour moisturisers are different from the rest, for they contain carefully selected pure and active plant extracts that intensively balance and rejuvenate the skin, stimulating it to regenerate and repair.

All of the products 100% natural and free from artificial fragrances, synthetic chemicals, and dangerous preservatives and colorants. Products are available for a variety of prices here.
