Goddess Argan Hand & Body Wash and Beauty Oil by Ancienne Ambiance

Beautifully scented products are one of our little weaknesses at The Amazing Blog. As much as we love discovering and trying new products we also like to return to brands that we know, when they launch new products. One of these is Ancienne Ambiance, an award-winning London-based artisan brand who produce luxury home fragrances, perfume and body care all inspired by ingredients from the ancient world. We recently spotted their Goddess Argan Hand and Body Wash and Beauty Oil, and couldn't wait to try them!

There is nothing better than a relaxing shower and the right product can transform a basic shower into a heavenly one. The Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Argan Hand & Body Wash reminds us slightly of what we think a luxurious ancient Roman bath might have been like. This rich hand and body wash is formulated with 100% natural sweet coconut oil and argan oil and is a real treat. Apart from the coconut and argan oils it is also packed full of vitamin E and antioxidants. This product not only cleanses your body but is also gentle enough to use on the face too. It's designed to awaken the senses with its delicate scent and leaves the skin fully hydrated.

To complement the Goddess Argan Hand & Body Wash the brand has also created the Goddess Argan Beauty Oil. Known as their 'miracle oil' it is enriched with a wonderful cocktail of grape seed oil, argan oil, sweet almond oil and paprika oil. This Beauty Oil is a great multitasker and will give your face, body and hair all the care and hydration they need. All the ingredients work in harmony to intensely nourish dry skin and are also gentle enough to treat and soothe skin irritations such as eczema. This is a brilliant all-in-one product that leaves face, body and hair moisturised, replenished and soft.

We think that these two products also make the ideal travel companions with their combined multipurpose use.  So if you too want to feel like a Goddess, you can purchase the Hand & Body Wash here for £16 and the Beauty Oil here for £40.

Skincare Feature: Flora Mare by Asam Beauty

It is said that the best mornings start with an exceptional skincare routine. At The Amazing Blog we couldn’t agree more, especially after we experienced the Flora Mare by Asam Beauty products. The company is an innovative skincare brand that formulates their skincare products with anti-ageing ingredients, sea minerals and plant extracts. We were lucky enough to try out four of them.

One of our favourite product is the Day and Night cream, which is not surprising as it is one of the brand’s bestsellers. The cream is enriched with advanced sea minerals such as platinum-mare complex, omega 3, 6 and 9 as well as highly nutritive plant extracts including argan oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil, apricot kernel and aster maritima. The cream is a universal product that is designed to suit all skin types. Its refreshing and nourishing properties repair, pamper and leave the skin velvety- soft. The Day and Night cream is definitively a must-have skincare product to anyone who wishes to look fabulous day and night.

Did I just say that we loved the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream, well then we adored the Brightening Moment eye cream. This moisturising eye cream unlike any other cares and enhances your skin. Formulated with sea and maritime plants ingredients it deeply nourishes the skin, and reduces the visibility of dark circles and redness around the eyes. As well as concealing imperfections and illuminating the eyes the cream can also be used as a base for eyeshadows. When applied the Brightening Moment eye cream gives you an all-natural, healthy and glowy look. It is the perfect beauty product to use in your morning routine as it instantly gives you a wide awake and radiant look. Simply amazing! 

Ocean Elixir such an inspiring and promising name. This moisturising face serum is a real treat for the skin. Like the brand’s other products it is made with the Flora Mare unique recipe and ingredients including concentrated sea minerals and trace elements that instantly provide the hydration the skin needs. The consistency of the serum is very light; it spreads evenly on the skin and gives you a youthful radiance.

When we think about beauty and skincare, we tend to give great importance to the face and often neglect other parts of our body like the hands. Yes, the hands they are one of the most visible parts of our wonderful body, and they deserve as much attention as the face. Flora Mare took all the essential minerals out of the ocean and created a hand cream that has all the ingredients to make your hands look gorgeous. Not only the hand cream nourishes and hydrates the hands it is also a fabulous anti-ageing treatment that reduces the appearance of hand pigmentation and revitalises the skin.

Purchase the Day and Night cream here for £26.50; the eye cream can be purchased here for £15. If you want to experience a bit of Ocean Elixir it is available here for £23.00 and two piece hand cream duo can be purchased here for £22.50.
