New Skincare Routine Ft. Lush Cosmetics

My skin was a nightmare going through the season change from summer to fall. My skin is oily and acne prone, yet dry in places. I had went to Lush, which is an obsession of mine, for fun stuff like bath bombs and bubble bars. They threw in a catalog and a sample of "Enzymion" face moisturizer because I figured maybe something all natural would balance my skin. I tried the moisturizer out for a few days and liked it, but it didn't balance it enough. It did a great job of not getting as oily as it usually does, but didn't moisturize it enough, so when I read about the "Imperialis" face cream I knew I had to try it. I went into lush and left with a couple other things as well that are now in my new skincare routine.

Here it is...

Here's everything I'm using right now. 

I use this first to take off my makeup. Its Whole Foods brand and I love it!

This Control Corrective salicylic wash helped me through the worst breakouts! Its gentle on my skin enough to where I can use it morning and night if I wanted. I use it in the shower in the morning with my FOREO Luna Mini.

Here's Herbalism. The description says "Gentle herbal cleanser with ground almonds to exfoliate and rice vinegar to mop up excess oil. Help has arrived for troubled skin!"

You take a little bit in your hand, I'd say the size of a round peanut m&m, and a tiny bit of water and rub between tour hands then massage into face. It leaved my skin feeling very clean and soft!

Its a gritty but not scratchy texture and leaves your skin incredibly soft! It has a bit of a vinegar smell to it but its not too bad!

This one says "Mask of Magnaminty - Packed full of peppermint, kaolin and scrubby aduki beans for deeply cleansed skin." I use this every few days. 

When I'm rinsing it off, I dampen my face and kinda scrub my face with it to exfoliate a bit. It has a minty tingly feel to it when its on. 

Next is my toner! I'm using Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist. I will spray this on a cotton ball and apply after Herbalism or my mask to remove residue, I spray directly on my face when using gel cleansers.

Then its time to moisturize with Imperialis! This caught my attention because the catalog description said its for skin that can't make up its mind (dry/oily). I love it, it smells great and leaves my skin perfectly balanced!!

Plus my currently burning candle Yankee Candle: White Christmas! 

My face has changed dramatically after updating my skincare routine, not to mention all these products are cruelty free!! I am so happy with this new regimen, I had to share that this worked so well for me! any questions, feel free to ask, I'm no expert, but I can tell you my experience.
