Who doesn’t love Lush Cosmetics? I cant go past a store without going in. I’ve already done a Lush Fresh Mask Review but this post is about using Lush products for a once a week deep cleaning facial.

So here’s what I used and what I thought.

Firstly you want to make sure you’ve removed all your make up. This will allow the products to work more efficiently.

I started with

 

 

9-5 Cleansing lotion

95g – £5.25

Almond Oil – To soothe and hydrate

Fresh Dove Orchid Extract – To help clear skin

YlangYlang Oil – To Calm and Relax

 

I used about a ten pence piece of 9-5Cleanser  and massaged into my face using small circular motions.  Making sure to massage well into oily prone areas like the sides of your nose. Remove with cotton pads.

I really liked this cleanser. I didn’t think it was very greasy feeling but made my skin feel really hydrated and clean. And it smells lovely.

I would get this again but i wouldn’t recommend if you wanted to use it as a heavy make up remover, you’ll use a lot of product. But for a morning and weekly cleanser I loved it.

next I used

 

 

Dark Angels

100g £7.25

Charcoal – to exfoliate

Rhassoul – Absorbs excess sebum & draws out impurities

Avacado – To Hydrate

To activate this product you need to add a little water to turn it into a paste. Apply and massage in small circular motions. Rinse with plenty of warm water.

I think this is probably more of a facial scrub then a cleanser. That’s what i use it for. Exfoliating helps to remove the dead skin cells which can make your skin look cloggy and dull. The Black sugar is great for exfoliating. I don’t think its too harsh and I  would use this a couple of times a week.

It can be a messy product. It doesn’t stain but it does leave water marks.

My skin feels really clean after using Dark Angels its defintley one of my favorite Lush products.

 

Tea Tree Toner Tab

5g tablet £1

TeaTree Oil – Antibacterial & Antiseptic

Aloe Vera – Rejuvenate and Hydrate

Drop the Tablet into a bowl of hot water (Hot enough to have steam) be careful, you don’t want to burn yourself.

The tablet does fizz a little, lean over the bowl and cover with a towel to trap the steam in.

There isn’t an over powering smell of Tea Tree but you can smell it.

after a 5 -10mins put the water to one side.

I really liked the Tea Tree Toner Tab, its only £1 and I would pay more for it. I would get it every time I go in there.

I used the Dark  Angels on my face again. Now my pores are open after the steaming the scrub / cleanser can absorb any dirt in my pores which could later cause blackheads.

Rinse off with warm water.

Next is

 

Cosmetic Warrior

75G  £6.95

 

Garlic – Deep Cleanse

TeaTree – Antiseptic

Honey – Moisturising

 

So this mask really smells of Garlic. I don’t hate it enough to not use the rest of the pot, I just won’t buy it again and will probably moan about the smell while its on.

Its a Thick creamy consistency with a few garlic pieces.

It doesn’t dry hard so makes it easier to get off. My skin did feel a little tighter after using it but its not one i will get again. It was mostly the smell of Cosmetic Warrior I didn’t like.

After that’s been rinsed off with warm water, I go back to the Tea Tree water.

Soak a couple of cotton pads in the water and wipe over face, toning the skin before applying moisturiser  if you think you need it.

With the rest of the water I add a few drops of TeaTree oil and put it in a plastic spritz bottle and use as a daily toner. which will last me a week.

I really liked these products (except the smell of the mask) and have a new favorite with the dark angels cleanser. They are all good value for money especially the toner tab. Don’t forget when you have 5 pots you can trade them for a free Fresh Mask      xx
