LUSH Skincare Review




   To start, I have had troubled skin since I was about 14 years old... Acne, Oily-Combo & Sensitive skin -- the trifecta!  So keep in mind those are the needs I am attempting to address!
 


  Love Lettuce Fresh Face Mask:
             They are not kidding with using "Fresh" in the name.  It is made with agar agar seaweed, fuller’s earth, kaolin, honey, glycerin, almond oil, ground almost shells, ground almonds, and lavender oil; and is kept chilled to maintain the ingredients benefits! Also warning does expire 2-3 weeks from purchase and check before you buy -- I know people who have been sold a mask that is only good for a week.            This mask is recommended for dry skin, however it is a god send for my oily-combo acne prone skin, I have used this product for about a year (not consistently since I can't afford it that often!) but I have seen major improvements in my skins texture, and appearance when using this product.  Although for some the roughness of this when you "Scrub" it on before you let it sit, may be a bit much; however my sensitive skin can handle it!          By far the best facial mask -- and smells like lavender! Who doesn't love that? Besides Jessica...

Eau Roma Water Toner:
          Another lavender scented product... This toner while for me is a very pricy toner is well worth the 10-22 dollar price tag.  It is one of the few toners I have found that evens my skintone without stripping my face, common problem with many of the toners I have tried.  
        Easy application -- just spray straight on the face or cotton pad and sweep sweep -- DONE! For those of you with sensitive skin this is an Ah-mazing toner. The lavender oil will keep your skin calm and hydrated. 

Tea Tree Water Toner: [Not Pictured Above]
       Why two?   Well because the Eau Roma is what I use before I go to bed to calm my skin, and the Tea Tree is Anti-Bacterial properties before I put on makeup!    Although this toner is definatly my second favorite -- for those with acne problems or just hormonal as I am this one is great. 

Grease Lighting:
      See spots run... Really... I recently started using this spot treatment from LUSH and I love it! It doesn't dry my zits -- I hate having dry flakes on my face since I never usually do they stick-out more than a zit.  This tea-tree gel spot treatment can also be used as an overall acne treatment, which is what I do too! 

Herbalism:
       To start this face wash smells HORRIBLE to me... and its incredibly messy...   That being said this face wash is a great face wash for really getting that oily skin clean.  Its made with ground almonds, rosemary and rice vinegar and more.  This is a gentle exfoliating cleanser but does leave that squeaky clean feeling.  I've been using it for a few weeks now and probably wont re-purchase since I love the Aveeno Positively Radiant more and might look deeper into Aveeno face wash.   Also for those of you with more sensitive skin check out Fresh Farmacy, easier to use and gentler than Herbalism and a cult favorite of Lushies...
