I bought the LUSH Ultrabland Facial Cleanser after a recommendation
from one of the girls in the shop. When I first read up on the product it had mixed
reviews, however, I'm always willing to give new products a go! I had been
using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish for years before I discovered this gem, and
although I still love it, it’s taken a back seat for the moment. Lush
Ultrabland is said to be the cleanser that Lush fanatics swear by, and I can
see why!
The packaging is pretty standard, the simple black lush tub.
The product itself is lovely, made primarily with beeswax and rose, it’s
very much like a balm rather than a cream cleanser…almost like the much talked
about Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm. The cleanser also contains honey, which
has amazing antiseptic qualities so helps to keep blemishes at bay! The only
downfall is the smell, the product is made from beeswax, so obviously has a
slight waxy smell, it’s not unbearable, it just doesn't smell lovely.
I massage this product across my face in circular motions before
taking it off with a damp, warm cloth; I like to use the muslin cloths from Liz
Earle. A little goes a long way, as when you warm the product up in your hands
it seems to multiply. It takes all my foundation off really well,
although can leave some mascara, but we all know that mascara can be stubborn!
So, I recommend using a separate eye make up remover. After cleansing I always
sweep some toner – I like the Liz Earle Skin Tonic - over my face using a
cotton pad, then follow with moisturiser. Since using this, my skin has never
felt so soft, you almost 'glow' after using this cleanser.
I really do love this product; it’s a staple cleanser for those who
have sensitive skin, as the ingredients are all natural. In fact, I think this
would work for any skin type. Lush claims that if you use this everyday,
you'll see improvements, as it bring the skin 'back into balance' and I
couldn't agree more!
Verdict: It doesn’t smell great, but it’s a great price, ideal for sensitive
skin and definitely worth a try!
LUSH Ultrabland Facial Cleanser (RRP £6.95 45g/RRP £10.95
100g) is available from LUSH stores.
What are your holy grail cleansers?
Lots of love,
