So just the other day there I had a fabulous day out in Glasgow visiting my big sister and I had some money to spare, (Being a student, that is an absolute blessing!) so I decided that I needed some new skin care products and good bath bombs since I had been running out and with the cold weather that we had been having over here in Britain my skin tends to get sore & dry which can be a nightmare! So of course I visited Lush, seeing as the place has been a save haven for me and my skin in recent years. One thing that I love about Lush is the brilliant customer service, every time I go in one of their stores one of the staff members always asks me if I need any help and take their time out to figure what would be the best products for my skin & what would be the best products that I would enjoy.
At this particular visit I was looking for a couple of different products that work really well for my dry skin and keep it moisturized and fresh looking as well as a few bath bombs and I must admit like usual I am always given the best advice and shown the best products. After about an hour of being in the store I finally had a basket full of new lush goodies that I couldn't wait to try out. Check out my basket;
King of skin
Now this little goodie was recommended to me by one of the store assistants for my dry skin and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by how good it has turned out to be, seeing as it is a new product I had never tried before. The sales assistant tried this lovely solid body bar on me in the store so I could check out the results and I fell in love, after just one simple use my skin was extremely smooth and soft! If anyone is like me and suffers from dry skin or if your just looking for a moisturizer buy the king of Skin. Made with bananas, avocados, oat milk and lavender it softens the skin in just one wash. Just hop in the shower (or bath) and smooth this body bar onto your wet skin then towel off to dry and you'll notice how royally soft your skin will become.
Skin's Shangri La
Now this was another new product for me that I had never tried before. Come to think of it I don't think I had ever bought a moisturizer from Lush before now. For my skin I usually buy rose water moisturizer but I had ran out and I needed a change. When I bought the Skin's Shangri La I must admit I did not expect it to be as thick as it was seeing as I am used to the more thin moisturizers to tame my skin. However after the first use my skin was much smoother than it had been before. This Moisturizer has also been a blessing for me when the cold weather hits and my skin gets really dry. With the wheatgrass infusion my skin is completely rejuvenated with a healthy glow. Also I have heard that this product is good for fine lines & wrinkles!, I may be only 20 but you've got to start early, right? ;). (Top tip!, Use this product with A breath of fresh air facial toner from Lush from extra smooth and healthy looking skin)
BB seaweed Face mask
Now this face mask is hands down one of the best products I have ever invested in from Lush. I have tried other face masks before and have never been dissapointed, they are all exceptional for any skin type! but this little beauty is an absolute must for my dry skin and to make my skin look more healthy. I originally used to use the Oatifix face mask, which was brilliant at making my skin soft! but I always found it rather hard to apply with all the oats getting everywhere so I decided to try out a new face mask. This face mask was recommended to me at a time when my skin was really sensitive, dry and breaking out in dry patches and I have to tell you that I have never looked back since. It's become a must have for me every time I shop there. The BB seaweed face mask instantly soothes the skin when it is applied, even if you have sensitive skin! If your anything like me when your skin becomes super sensitive anything you apply hurts, but not this face mask. Also with it's huge 7 pounds of seaweed, (yeah 7 pounds!) your skin is well nourished. Not to mention the gentle exfoliation from the softly ground almonds and the aloe vera gel and rose oil really tones the redness in my skin. Honestly this is a favourite product of mine and if you ever get dry/sensitive skin you should try the bb seaweed face mask.
Dreamtime Bath melt
So this Dreamtime bath melt was another new investment for me from Lush. I had never used a bath melt before and honestly I had never been tempted to try one out, I know it sounds awful but I always stuck to the bath bombs as I absolutely love them! Now I regularly suffer from sleepless nights and insomnia so I always look for a good sleep inducing bath bomb but the sales assistant told me about their bath melts which she said can sometimes be much better than the bath bombs. In particular she showed me the Dreamtime bath melt which she described as a herbal sleep inducer from the scent. Now this caught my attention, natural sleep remedies are usually brilliant for me so I knew I had to try this out. I am not going to lie and I know this might sound really stupid but since this was my first ever bath melt I was confused as to how to use it! I didn't want to waste the product so I had to youtube it! Once my bath was run I dropped this bath melt in and waited for it to dissolve. As it was dissolving I knew why everyone says the secret lies within the scent. I was instantly hit with the relaxing smell of jasmine, lavender, chamomile & Sandalwood, it was like slipping into one of the most relaxing baths I have ever been in. Also plus point for the cocoa butter that this bath melt is made with, making my skin super soft once I was finished!
So like usual I always come out of Lush with a brilliant product that never fails to disappoint me. However I have to give the most special mention to the new King of Skin body butter bar. I was really glad when the sales assistant told me to try it out, it is definitely one of the best products for my skin! Next time you are in Lush, you should really try this product out. You won't be dissapointed.
