There are still a couple that I've to get my hands on, but I've tried out the majorty of Lush's facemasks, and I am here to share my verdict to help you decide what you need for your skin!
Don’t Look at Me
It smells absolutely delicious, the scent reminds me very
much of the ocean salt face a body scrub, which I have used in the past and
adored. So it was with great delight to find a facemask that would
somewhat replicate the good of the scrub, as Don’t Look
at Me is also very exfoliating. Upon
applying, as you spread the mask over your face you really feel the ground rice
rubbing into your pores and working its magic! You can also feel the
lemon juice seeping into the pores and creating a tingly sensation. Afterwards my skin feels cleaner, smoother
and looks a lot brighter too!
Mask of Magminty
Let me start by telling you this, never have I ever felt my
skin so squeaky clean after just one use of a facemask. This product is a Lush self-preserving face and body mask, designed to gently clean
and exfoliate whilst worn. Made with peppermint oil and primrose seeds – the ingredients work amazingly together, making your pores
feel super tingly and leaves the feeling of an extra deep cleanse. To use, I like to smooth a generous layer of
the mask over my face, paying special attention to my nose, cheeks and chin – as these are the areas that tend to breakout most often.
I tend to leave it on between ten to fifteen minutes at a time, as I find that this is the perfect amount of
time for it to dry without giving it the opportunity to flake off.
Cup’O’Coffee
Cup O’ Coffee is the mask that you
need in your life if you like to exfoliate like me! I feel a need to give my
face a good scrubbing when I wash it, and so anytime that I do use a facemask – I tend to give my face a scrub with an alternative product
after… just for good measure. The ground up
coffee beans used in this mask are just perfect for this, as the particles are
so, so fine that you can safely scrub away at your skin without having to worry
about actually causing it any harm. When you scoop the mask out to apply
to your face, it’s a really sticky constituency – but yet is super easy to smooth across your face.
What I really like about applying it is that you can give your skin as scrub as
you apply it. I like to use a semi generous amount over my face and leave
it on anywhere between 10-25 minutes at a time. This mask doesn’t dry or harden as you wear it, which is great because it
makes it so much easier to wash off. When I’ve
given my skin its coffee fix, I use some warm water to rinse it off, scrubbing
as I go to give my skin a really good exfoliation. After use, my skin
looks as though it’s just been given a new lease of
life! Sometimes I swear its glowing. It also makes my
skin feel really smooth and clean – especially
around my nose where I tend to get the blackhead breakouts.
Catastrophe Cosmetic
Catastrophe Cosmetic is packed with
lovely ingredients including blueberries, rose, calamine and chamomile which
when are mixed together in this concoction make a gorgeous smell, which I think
is exactly like Parma Violet sweeties! For best results, I recommend using
this mask on freshly washed skin – I know that some people like to apply a
light moisturiser beforehand, but I personally feel that this would prevent
some of the benefits on the mask. One of the things that I love most
about this product is that it is perfect for problematic skin like mine.
I enjoy it because my eczema causes my face to dry out abnormally quickly – and
I always need to apply a moisturiser straight after I wash my face. All
of the ingredients help to soothe my skin, especially the areas around my mouth
and eyes, as these tend to be the places that suffer the most during a
breakout. The one main problem that I do have with this
mask is that it tends to flake off as it is drying –
sometimes even before it has dried in completely. I like to wear any
facemask for around 15-20 minutes at a time, however I have come to find that
this mask tends to only be suitable for around a 10 minute session before it
starts to flake away.
Cupcake
Two of my favourite things in this world are mint and chocolate, so
after reading all about the different fresh face masks that Lush have to offer Cupcake
stood out to me for this exact reason. Packed with cocoa butter, mint and
cocoa powder this thick and creamy mask promises to draw out dirt and
impurities, as well as giving your face a deep cleansing experience. This is a really thick and creamy mask – so as you apply it takes a lot of rubbing in to get the
maximum coverage from the amount you are putting on. This of course is
not a bad thing, as it allows you to rub in the minty goodness, and gives your
skin a real tingly and cleansing experience at the same time! I like to
use Cupcake all over my face and give my skin a generous coating with each
application – however I think it would work perfectly
well for a treatment a across the tea zone or other problem areas too if
preferred. What I love the most about Cupcake is that it really does give
my skin a proper good cleansing – I always feel that my
pores have had a good clean with every use, and it doesn’t
take any time at all to get the results.
What's your favourite from the bunch? Any you'd recommend I'd try?
Until the next one,
