| My current skin care routine |

Hiya lovelies, I hope you're week has gone well? It's been a while since I shared what I've been using in my skincare routine, so here we are. I get a lot of comments about my skin from my pictures and to be honest, I can have really bad break outs at times or react to different elements in either skincare products or things in the air that I might come in contact with, so skin care is really important to me. I've used really expensive products to really cheap ones too. Lately though, I've really been into stuff from Lush, I love going into my store in Glasgow, it's always so much fun and the people that work there are brilliant. I always walk out with something new. I decided to try their skincare products for the first time as usually I've just stuck to their body products. One of the gals gave me a demonstration of some products, I went away with just one but, ordered some online later when I ran out of stuff I had previously that I wanted to use up first. 
I love Lush because not only are their products as natural as can be, they don't test on animals and also work really hard to cut plastics and make their containers recyclable or able to be returned in exchange for face masks (I have a pile to return, yess, ha!) We need more and more companies taking more steps in reducing waste and using less plastics. So, if you're near a Lush store or can shop online - please do! So, let's check out what I've been using.... (Not sponsored, I bought these with my own money, opinions are my own)

Ultrabland Facial Cleanser £17.00 / 100g

I don't usually buy cleanser like this, as I've always used a foaming type of cleanser but, I decided to try something new and honestly, I don't think I will ever use another cleanser after using this. It works so good, before I had to use a eye makeup remover before cleansing my face with my foaming cleanser but, with this, it removes even my toughest eye makeup without having to put a lot of work into it. It literally melts my makeup (as you can see in the pictures) It's so gentle yet incredibly effective. Almond oil to moisturise and condition, Rose Water to calm and soothe, Fresh Iris extract that's aromatic and soothing, Honey that moisturising and antiseptic. I wear a lot of makeup for shoots & repeating this process used to leave my skin feeling irritated but, I don't have that problem anymore since using this cleanser. As you can see in the pictures, the Ultrabland is like a cream on the skin & the makeup kind of melts off & then you remove it with a warm wet cloth. I find using a face towel completely wet with warm water & then wrapped over my face really lovely to remove this, like a steam wrap facial, it's so relaxing. Lush must never discontinue this product or I'll freak, ha!

Breath of Fresh Air Toner water £6 / 100g

This is really refreshing, my actual second bottle of this product in a bigger size. I enjoyed it that much, I purchased the bigger size this time. I actually keep it in my bag (as you can tell by the state of my bottle label, lol) and spritz myself with it whenever I feel too warm or when your in the city and your skin gets that yucky feeling. It's cool and definitely feels like being at the sea, it's relaxing. Mineral rich seaweed, rose absolute to tone, balance and reduce redness, patchouli oil is cooling and astringent on the skin and Aloe vera to soothe and protect. Definitely one that I'll continue to use and purchase again, it's so refreshing, makes me feel like I'm at the beach even if I'm in a crowded city!

Grease Lightening £8.00 / 45g

Now that I'm older, I don't break out as much as I used to when I was a teenager. But, sometimes when I do, it takes ages for products to settle my skin down and I end up with scarring. So, I wasn't putting too much into trying this product when I randomly decided to try it with the rest of the stuff. But, I was proven wrong as it has to be one of the best spot treatments that I've used in a long time. It actually works quickly, I notice a difference even the next day, even if it's just redness reduction and my skin is clear within a few days. With soothing and protective organic aloe vera, Wobble wobble (carrageenan extract) Witch Hazel extract, balancing and calming Lavender oil, it really helps during that time of the month when one's hormones are in a mess, usually nothing helps my skin at that time but this product keeps my skin in check as much as it can, so I was really impressed by that. Scarring due to spots has greatly reduced and even started clearing up since using this, so I'll definitely continue to buy this one too.

Celestial Moisturiser £18 / 45g
This was my 1st time using a moisturiser from Lush, I always used a different brand before but ran out & decided to just give one a try. This was stamped as 'Best Seller', so that helped in my choice of this product. I also wanted something gentle really and without a heavy fragrance. It has moisturising and conditioning Almond oil, Soothing and purifying Fresh dove orchid extract, and sweet and soothing vanilla water. The fragrance is so light, you might not even catch it, it's creamy on the skin and sinks in instantly. Non-irritating. Anyone with really dry skin should definitely grab this, I even wear my makeup after it as well. My skin stays soft and moisturised all day with this, I'm not sure if I will wear this in the summer as it might prove too thick for the heat but, maybe at night instead. But, for my first time trying it, I would buy it again as it's gentle and I had no problems with it, the soft fragrance is calming, especially at night before bed. Might try something else for the warmer season though.

So there you are...which product sounded like something you'd try out? Do you have a favourite Lush product that I should try? Let me know in the comments, enjoy the rest of the week dolls, I'll be back on Monday!!
