Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have a huge zit/acne problem. It baffles me because I take great care of my skin! Anyway, I popped into LUSH and they’ve set me up with a BLESSING of a skincare routine!
Firstly, we have the ‘Dark Angels’ exfoliator. This retails at £7.50 for a 100g tub. It’s perfect for really scrubbing out the dirt from your pores, as it’s made with charcoal and black sugar. The great thing about this is that you really don’t need to use that much of it – so it’ll last you a while!
After the initial scrub, I use the ‘Ocean Salt’ face and body scrub. For an 100g tub you’ll be paying £8.95. I really liked this as it smells a lot like porridge! It’s full great ingredients such as salt, avocado butter, and seaweed. All to keep your skin looking beautiful. Again, this really goes a long way as you don’t need much at all to get a great scrub out of your skin.
Following that scrub, I go and use the ‘Mask of Magnaminty’ which retails at £6.95 for a 125g pot. I was a bit apprehensive about this, as it has an extremely strong smell. However, I soon found out that’s because it’s full of amazing ingredients that help combat zits! These include honey and kaolin for their antibacterial yet nourishing purposes. You’ve got to be careful with this one, as you don’t want to lather lots on – you might waste some. I found a little goes a long way with this mask. It does tingle for the entire 5-10 minutes you’ve got it on, but I soon saw it works wonders!
All of the products I just mentioned need to be washed off with warm water, as to get the best results.
After this, I go in with a natural tea tree cleanser from The Body Shop, then dive in with a beautiful smelling moisturiser called ‘Vanishing Cream’. This is a bit on the pricey side, and retails at £18.95 for a 45g tub. However, as with every other product, a little goes a long way! This one helps combat my zits with all of the essential oils such as lavender and geranium, which also balances the skin. It’s also super absorbent, which is a huge bonus!
Finally, I give my face a quick once over with a spot treatment gel called ‘Grease Lightning’, which retails at £6.95 for a 45g tub. This stuff is extremely potent, due to its medley of zit fighting ingredients such as Tea Tree and Witch Hazel. Honestly, I swear by this stuff as it’s helped calm down a lot of zits that have wanted to come up!
I love this new skincare routine LUSH have set me up with, and will definitely continue to use it!
Let me know what you guys use to fight your zits below!
