Lush Moisturizers

Foreword: Lush puts their very best into the moisturizers, knowing that it's more than just greasing up the skin. The pollutants we live with in this slowly-dying earth necessitate us using very strong soaps and astringents to clean the toxins from our pores. This also strips the natural oils that our skin needs to stay young and healthy. This has to be restored carefully, or we run into problems.
Lush does not skimp on ingredients. Some of their moisturizers are insanely expensive, but you get what you pay for...no, really. More to follow.


Celestial Moisturizer: If I could pick a moisturizer to use for the rest of my life, it would be Celestial. It smells like fresh vanilla beans. It's light and fluffy, and when you open it sparkles and rainbows shoot out. Basically, a summation of all that is good and kind in a really sleek-looking jar with a nice screw-top lid. If it's put on too thick it's surprisingly heavy though, so slathering it on is not an option, nor is bathing in it. Although, if I ever find out I have a month to live, I am filling a bathtub with this stuff and climbing in to smother.

Imperialis Moisturizer: A very nice, neutral, balancing moisturizer. No fragrance, just down-to-business for combination skin. Very much like the British-land, fix what needs to be fixed, drink tea, then move on. However, if you have problem skin, you're going to want something a little more to the point.

Gorgeous Moisturizer: Oh...My....Goodness. That's probably the best way to describe this stuff. At eighty dollars, it is the single most expensive skin care product I have ever purchased, but it was so worth it. This moisturizer not only clears up acne, but leaves the skin with an inexplicable but definite glow that got me comments from strangers. If I could afford to, I would continue to order it and use it as a regular moisturizer. To date, the closest thing to a miracle I have ever put on my face. Truly, the only problem is the price.

Toners:

The only toner I have tried from Lush so far is the Eau Roma toner. I am a big fan of history, especially Rennaissance and Regence era history. This toner is made with a rosewater base. When I smell it I instantly feel like I'm wearing petticoats and lacing into a corset, getting ready for a ball. I mostly use it after blow-drying my hair to stop sweating and redness caused by all that hot air. A very nice product, affordable, and lasts a while.

I am going to place a new Lush order with four items. There will be much blogging when they arrive. I get so excited when I get presents via UPS, sometimes I blog all over myself.
