I think I’m starting to develop an addiction to lush. First it was just nice soaps and bubble bath, and the occasional henna treatment or bath ballistic. But now that I’m working mere minutes from a shop, it’s gotten much, much more serious. I’m not one to go brand-happy or evangelistic over skin products, but this time I’ve just gotta spread the news.

First, there was Ultrabland and Enzymion. And seriously, in one or two days my freaked out skin, which had previously started breaking out in a big way because of the air quality and increased stress, completely calmed down and cleared up. ok, we might be onto something here, I thought.

They also gave me a sample of King of Skin, which I couldn’t figure out how to use at first but once I got the hang of it I found it lovely. (they’re clever business-people too… ultra-friendly AND they give you free stuff?)

So I went back to try Herbalism for those days that I’m not wearing makeup. (which I’ve only started to do since my skin cleared up…) smells like sage and tea tree, sort of magical. Skin is still perfectly clear, soft & smooth.

And Strawberry Boat I just tried today. Whoever thought to combine fresh strawberries, ginger and sea salt, and then rub it all over your body? I don’t know, but they are a genius. I seriously went around smelling my arm and exclaiming over the softness and smoothness and loveliness of my skin for a good while today.

I think I might be at risk here – what if I’m being sucked into a cult?? A cult of strawberry-flavoured-arm-sniffing-skin-care-evangelist-zombies, who are going to attempt to take over the world with tea-tree and lavender oils? if you’re coming to try and save me, I’ll be in the bath.
