jlhin's Full Review: LUSH Cosmetics Angels On Bare Skin Facial Cleanser
I am hopelessly addicted to all things LUSH. I absolutely love their hair care, face care and body care products. While it took me a little while to discover their face care line, I am so glad I finally took the plunge. One of my favorite LUSH face care products is Angels On Bare Skin Facial Cleanser.
Cost & Location
I typically purchase my LUSH products online at www.lush.com. My 3.5 OZ tub of Angels On Bare Skin cost me $9.95. You can purchase it in any LUSH store as well as amazon.com.
The Basics
I have combination skin that can be pretty tricky to deal with. It is absolutely essential for me to exfoliate several times a week. When I saw that Angels on Bare Skin was both a cleanser and a gentle exfoliator I knew I had to give it a try.
LUSH touts their Angels on Bare Skin as being the "perfect all around cleanser." One thing is for sure, Angels on Bare Skin is unlike any cleanser I had ever tried! It comes in a clear plastic tub and is a light green in color. It has little specks of what my husband calls "mouse droppings", which, are actually bits of dried lavender flower. It feels spongy to the touch, but, when mixed with water, forms a paste. This unique cleanser contains rose absolute, lavender oil, and ground almonds. The ground almonds do an incredible job at gently exfoliating.
The scent of Angels on Bare Skin is also very unique. It has a light lavender scent mixed with a slight fruit scent. It reminds me of fruit loops a bit! As with all LUSH products, there is a shelf life - a mere 3 months. However, I find that I use a tub in about a month and a half, so, the short shelf life doesn't really bother me.
Totally Angelic
LUSH certainly got the name for this product correct - it really is angelic! I absolutely love what Angels On Bare Skin does for my skin. It's rare that an "all around cleanser" works for my combination skin! The ground almonds provide the perfect amount of gentle exfoliation - gentle enough that it can be used every single day! My skin always feels smooth, fresh and clean after using this product.
Unlike some other exfoliating cleaners I have tried, Angels on Bare Skin never leaves my skin feeling tight, itchy or dry. What's more is that my face just seems to look and feel healthier when using this product. My pores look cleaner and smaller, my face has a natural glow. It works perfectly on my tough t-zone too. It doesn't make my oily spots even more oily and it softens my dry areas just enough.
The only downside to this product, and it's a small one, is that it can be a bit tough to rinse off and it's a bit messy. The ground almonds like to stick to the skin a bit, so, it takes a bit more rinsing than the average face wash. The pasty texture, once mixed with water, also makes a mess in the sink. Again, these are minor issues in comparison to what it does for my skin!
Overall
I would highly recommend LUSH Angels On Bare Skin. It's a perfect cleanser for nearly any skin type! It provides gentle exfoliation while cleansing the skin and leaving it feeling soft and healthy!
