Review: Lush skincare follow up
So earlier I blogged about my fantastic plan to go organic with my skincare and ended up using LUSH products. After revamping my routine for about a month now--I can honestly I am not as impressed I was to begin with. Body wise (i.e soaps, body wash, etc) LUSH is still fabulous, however the Coalface cleanser and toner tabs are not-so-fab anymore.
After consistent use, I noticed my pores are a little more clogged and the Coalface cleanser was making my face more red and just blotchy. The toner tabs were okay with first use (i.e when you steam your face, of course it'll feel fabulous) but after using them afterwards--you can use the toner 3-4 days after initial steam as a normal room temp toner--it didn't do much at all.
Ocean salt is still a good exfoliator, and Angels on Bare skin is a good cleanser; but fair warning--they aren't absolutely amazing.
Bottom line: LUSH face masks, massage bars, body wash, soap--fabulous!
moisturizers, coalface cleanser, toner tabs--not so much.
Basically if you do want to add some organic-ness to your skincare I would recommend the ocean salt and angels on bare skin face cleanser; and all the masks I mentioned before are to die for! Remember, this is just my opinion; obviously everyone's skin is different. LUSH is pretty awesome when it comes to giving samples so test things out before you buy!
And remember, they have a fabulous return policy--who doesn't love that?
I decided to try out the Clinique 3-step skin care line (It was about $8.50 at Sephora for a trial run approx 3 weeks) since I've heard good things about it. We'll see how that goes!
xoxo
