Is it possible to leave Lush without buying something? In my world, it isn’t—that’s for sure. Though I do live on the typical college-girl budget, I prefer to splurge on my skincare products and knowing that I’m not feeding my skin any harmful chemicals. Not only are the products made of fresh, natural ingredients, but Lush Cosmetics is 100% against animal testing and packages their products in recyclable materials. If these reaasons aren’t enough to fall in love with this brand, here are 5 must-have products you should try that will turn you into a Lushie in no time!
Dark Angels Face and Body Cleanser, $14.95 on lushusa.com
This cleanser is perfect for those with oily skin! Dark Angels is a rhassoul mud-based cleanser with black sugar and powdered charcoal that not only exfoliates your skin, but helps eliminate any excess oils. Worried about this being too harsh on your sensitive skin? No worries—this cleanser is also made with avocado oil which helps calm irritated skin!
9 to 5 Cleansing Lotion, $10.95 on lushusa.com
This cleansing lotion is the ideal way to wash your face in a rush—or even just after a long day of school or work! This gentle cleanser will remove any leftover makeup, dirt, and oil after a long day of adulting. All you will need for this is a cotton pad—rinsing it off is not even necessary!
Oatifix Fresh Face Mask, $9.95 on lushusa.com
This fresh, handmade face mask is ideal for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin. This mask is made of smoothing oats, mashed bananas, and ground almonds that are geared to soften your skin and eliminate any dry flakes. This mask smells so yummy, it will make you want to lick your own face!
Vanishing Cream, $44.95 on lushusa.com
Moisturizing your face may be a scary thought for those with oily skin, but don’t overlook this step! Moisturizing is necessary for all skin-types. Lack of hydration can actually produce more oils, making your skin even more oily than before. Vanishing Cream is a light and airy moisturizer full of lavender and rose oils that absorb into your skin very quickly.
Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub, $21.95 on lushusa.com
This must-have scrub is a combination of sea salt, avocado, and coconut that moisturizes and exfoliates skin. The lime and vodka helps unclog pores, eliminate blackheads, and prevent blemishes from surfacing on your skin.
Once you are finished with these five products, clean out the containers and bring them back to Lush—they will give you a free fresh face mask!
