My skin is acne prone, to the point where I'm on medication for it, but I still get spots and redness a lot. Or atlas to me it feels like a lot. I can't remember the last time I didn't have less then 5 spots. I know my skin could be a lot worse, but it still gets me down daily.
For a while I used the Clinique 3 step skin care system for oily skin, but as a teen i couldn't afford to keep repurchasing the whole system so that slowly fell away. I used make up wipes for convenience, But my sensitive skin doesn't enjoy them, and for the longest time I would just by whatever was on offer at the super market.
THIS IS A BIG NO NO!
I wouldn't recommend doing this, your skin will hate you for it, or at least my skin hated me for it.
No my skincare routine has changed.
One of my friend Elin works for lush and she has saved my skin life.
After a full consultation I picked out a few products. I wanted to keep it simple as I work really early or really late, and I didn't want to spend forever doing a full extensive routine. Also my skin is very sensitive so I didn't want to overload it with products.
I chose the Cleanser "aqua marine"
 |
| Aqua Marine - £6.95 |
This is the description from lush: A mineral rich-seaweed and calamine face and body cleanser to absorb excess oils and leave you with a clear complexion. We use kaolin and calamine to absorb oil and cleanse the skin, and aloe vera to restore moisture. Irish Moss gel (a type of seaweed) is full of restorative minerals and vitamins, and we’ve even included a sprinkling of sea salt for very gentle exfoliation.
For me this cleansers makes my skin feel soft and clean, whilst the calamine lotion soothes the redness around my spots. I don't know what it is but my skin instantly looks better after washing my face with this.

| Skin Drink - £12.95 |
The I picked up the moisturiser "Skin Drink"
The description from lush: Quench thirsty skin with this cream packed with nourishing oils and butters, avocados, aloe vera and a light rose and orange neroli fragrance. Forming a light barrier against the elements, this is ideal for all weathers and is especially good for soothing the skin and helping it feel more supple.
Out of all the products, this is my least favourite. And thats only because it smells very strongly of sesame, due to it being made with sesame oil, and thats not one of my favourite scents. But it really is a lovely product so the smell really doesn't affect my opinion that much. before using this my skin felt very dehydrated. And now my skin feels 10x better and it hasn't broken me out, and keeps my skin feeling soft all day.

| Full Of Grace - £8.25 |
My favourite product I got by far is the full of grace serum. Its is a bar serum that you just smooth over your face at night.
Lush say: A deeply moisturising facial serum in solid form that glides on to leave skin feeling renewed without heaviness. We've created a skin-feeding blend of oils and mixed with Portobello mushrooms for their skin-protecting vitamins and minerals, whilst chamomile blue oil and calamine powder calm the skin – and the latter controls greasiness too. Warm on the fingertips or glide it across the skin like a massage bar, allowing the bar to melt and all the beautiful ingredients to soak in.
This product again has calamine in it which soothes the redness on my skin. And I swear over night i can see a visible reduction in my acne. This was a personal recommendation from Elin. I took her work for it and I am so glad I did. Its AMAZING.

| Dream Cream - £6.25 |
As a little extra she also through in a sample of Dream Cream. I Have been suffering from an allergic reaction from something and Elin suggested this to heal and calm the rash. I have used this all over my legs 3 times and I still have some of the sample left. And my skin definitely looks better for using it. So i shall be purchasing a full size once I have finished the sample.
Anyways thats my little lush review. I am so thankful to have a proper skin care routine now, I have definitely seen the results to convince me to continue using these products.
Thankyou so much to my local lush shop! The staff in there are amazing.
Lots of Love
