Over the next few weeks I will be doing a series of posts about products that are free from animal testing. My first post will be on some products I purchased from Lush. LUSH is a company that specializes in products that have not been tested on animals, and only contain fresh and organic ingredients. After a recent trip to the Gateshead branch I picked up a few new products, that the world needs to know about!
Celestial Moisturizer;
As a sufferer of both incredibly dry skin and also eczema I have been on the hunt for the perfect moisturizer for so long, until I found this. I have literally tried tens and tens of different moisturizers spanning from cheap drug store brands up to more expensive brands. This product is £11.75 for a 45g tub, which when I first purchased it thought was pricey. However this product lasts ages! I use it as a night cream and also as a base for under my make up and for whenever my face is surfer ring from dryness. In the winter I suffer from dry patches all over my face, however with the help of this product they are gone over night. This product contains vanilla water, almond oil, cocoa butter and fresh dove orchid extract, giving a soothing and highly moisturizing effect to sensitive dry skin. This is my overall favorite moisturizer and it has seriously transformed my dry skin into looking and feeling both soft and hydrated.
Popcorn Lip Scrub;
In all honesty I have never used or thought about using a lip scrub, however before my shopping trip a friend really recommended I try the lip scrubs from LUSH, so when I was scouting round the store I came across the popcorn scrub and gave it a try. It tastes delicious, exactly like popcorn! The ingredients are mixed together to exfoliate and remove the dead skin leaving them smooth and moisturized This product was £5,25 for 25g, a pot small enough to chuck in your bag, ready to use wherever. This product can be used on the go with it being edible, once applied it can just be eaten off, perfect!
Helping Hands, Hand Cream;
After spending so much money on hand creams and after dozens if prescription hand creams I bought this. This product was £7.15 for a tub of 100g. As the photos show I have only used a small portion of this hand cream, however it is so hydrating and it soaks in without leaving that greasy residue most hand creams leave behind. I suffer from redness in my hands and incredible dry skin and this product manages to take away the redness and also hydrates them. The product contains chamomile, almond oil and cocoa butter giving it the most amazing smell. The ingredients in this product prevent cracking and is also perfect for people who are always washing their hands. This product smells gorgeous and is so rich and moisturizing!
Oatifix Face Mask;
I have never been one to use face masks, but when I was approached by a lovely employee and was told about this product I couldn't resist it, and I'm so glad I didn't. The product was £5.95 for 75g. The face mask contains oats, organic bananas, vanilla pods, ground almonds (gentle exfoliator), kaolin (cleanser) and illipe butter. The product as a whole is really moisturizing after washing the mask off, my face felt fresh and clean the almonds gently exfoliate while the illipe button takes out any redness and soothes the face. My skin is very dry, however this product left behind a glowing and hydrated look. Wen I first purchased the product I assumed I would only get one or two uses out of it, however I'm onto my 4th use and I still have plenty left. I would seriously recommend this product to anyone who has dry or dry to combination skin as its the perfect revival for your skin.
So there you have it, my review on some of my purchases from LUSH. What are your favorite LUSH products?
