So I thought a great way to start this blog would be to talk about some of my favorite skin stuff at present : )
LUSH Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub
I was really back and forth about this one, I read a lot of reviews and finally decided to just go for it. At $35 I wanted to be sure, but in the end, don't you just have to try things for yourself sometimes?
It is VERY blue, the picture just doesn't capture it and the smell is alright, very salty and the lime/tangerine is present, the part I didn't expect was that it's "vodka based" - what?! Yeah. You can definitely smell it, but even as someone who doesn't drink, it doesn't bother me, it was just unexpected as no reviews I read mentioned it.
TiffanyD from youtube had really good stuff to say about this scrub, and I trust her opinion, including that she can use it everyday. I find I can do the same, actually I find myself wanting to use it morning and night 'cause its so nice and exfoliating, but I stop myself (mostly for the sake of the $35 dollars ; ) and reach for the Clarisonic if I need more scrub time. This stuff is really cool, just go easy at first as it can get a little stingy if your skin is sensitive, but definitely worth a try.
Aloe Soothing Day Cream from the Body Shop
I am obsessed with this stuff, I use it every...night. Yup! I use this day cream at night, it has no SPF or anything, but why I love it is that it really absorbs into my skin. My experience with nighttime moisturizers is that they stay on top of my skin and then rub off as I sleep (I can only sleep on my stomach, and always end up smooshing my face into the pillow.) This moisturizer absorbs within minutes, even with toner, pore clearing gel and spot treatments underneath. I wouldn't use it in the day (SPF people!) but at night it perfect, AND it lasts for over a month. LOVE IT.
