Eleni and Chris facemasks : Glow, Detox, Hydration

If you keep up with us here at The Amazing Blog, you'll know we're fans of the Scandinavian hair and skincare brand Eleni and Chris.  So naturally we were thrilled that we get to review all three of their new Sincell Face Masks. These sheet masks are perfect for a quick and easy pick me up for any age or skin type and can be easily catered to your skincare needs, whether you need some added Glow, a Detox, or a bit more of a Hydration boost.  

What makes these sheet masks stand out amongst the crowd are the pure ingredients that are only found in the dreamlike landscape of Scandinavia. Your skin will quickly crave unique ingredients like the cloudberry extract found in the Glow Sincell Mask, which is renowned for its ability to increase cell production by 22% within 24 hours to smooth your skin tone, leaving you with nothing but a natural glow. Scandinavian glacier water and SEA3Oil are two more key ingredients carefully sourced in Scandinavia and then infused in the ultra-fine fibres of each mask to retain the delicate osmotic balance of your skin.

The Detox Sincell Mask is also packed with grapefruit, oat and liquorice root extracts, which protect your skin against all those toxins and free radicals. Last, but certainly not least, the creamy Hydrating Sincell Mask is sure to bring back that much needed moisture that the winter weather has sucked away. The apple extract, cocoa butter, hyaluronic acid and sage leaf extract will instantly rehydrate your skin while also improving its ability to keep that moisture in its place.

These user-friendly sheet masks go on dry skin; no water necessary means one less step. These sheet masks give a great creamy consistency, they also don't contain any fragrance or mineral oils which is a huge plus. Leave on the face for 15-20 minutes, remove and gently massage any excess into the skin. Eleni and Chris recommend using the mask 1-2 times a week for good results. If you’d like to get your hands on these revolutionary sheet masks first, you can purchase them individually for £9 or a 6-pack for £49 here.

Hope's Relief - Goats Milk Body Wash

Since I can remember I’ve always struggled with my skin due to its sensitivity towards almost everything that touches it. When I was a very little girl, I would go to the beach with my parents and take a dip; my mum would then wrap me with my soft and cute towel and five minutes later... my skin would be bright red, itchy and my 5-year-old-self would scratch it with no mercy.

When I got a bit older, my skin’s sensitivity grew even bigger and I suffered from dermatitis on my forearms constantly. I visited my dermatologist regularly and he would always recommend me a specific oat based and soap-free body wash and body lotion. Things changed when I hit 16, my skin grew thicker and stronger and for a few years my dermatitis disappeared. Nowadays, dermatitis shows up very rarely on my forearms, it would itch like hell, but after two days it would stop – leaving my forearms dry and flaky. I blame genetics – thanks dad for giving me this delicate and thin skin, I blame you.

Two weeks ago dermatitis decided to bother me again for a whole week – my forearms would itch like nothing else. With the years, I’ve learnt not to scratch (or even touch) my skin when it’s this angry. The Amazing Blog came across with the chance of reviewing Hope's Relief’s Goats Milk Body Wash – my Managing Editor Edwina, left this gem of a body wash in my desk for me to try. Perfect timing… and product.

Hope's Relief’s Goats Milk Body Wash is a pure and natural product that has been proven to be perfect for dry sensitive skins, especially skins prone to eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. Skin Relief’s only uses 100% pure Goats Milk to manufacture this product – it’s full of Vitamins, Nutrients and Proteins and naturally occurring Triglycerides. This truly effective Goats Milk Body Wash is also suitable for those with acne prone skin, as the proteins in Goats Milk kill acne producing bacteria too!

Hope's Relief’s Goats Milk Body Wash is free of chemical additives and preservatives and reduces the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.

Overall, this Body Wash is a true winner for me – it soothes my skin, cleanses very gently and smells clean and a bit sweet – nothing too overpowering, which is perfect. I will definitely repurchase another bottle when I run out of the one I am currently using.

You can purchase this Body Wash on Healthy House for £11.40.
