Lush Angels on Bareskin

It was bank holiday Monday so I travelled down to London to chill out in Hyde Park with Frenchie. We spent a few hours basking in the sun eating ice-cream and watching the Brazilian fighting dancers (I don't know what the proper name for this is!). After a while it started: Me "Please can we go to Carnaby Street?" Him "Why?" Me "Cos I want to." Him "Yeah.. But Why?" Me "Cos I want to go to Lush!" Him "But you have enough of that stuff!" Me "Yeah, but I want something new!" Him "But my allergies…" Me "You can wait outside." For some reason, going anywhere near a Lush shop makes Frenchie start ... more

Us women don’t have an easy life do we? Our bathrooms are normally full of lotions and potions that we hope will give us perfect skin and keep us younger and more youthful looking. For as long as I can remember I have had weird skin that tolerates very few beauty products. Cleansers have always been a complete no-no for me, as everything I have tried has caused an eruption of spots, lumps, bumps and itchy red rashes. I had resigned myself to a life of cleansing with Jonhson’s Baby Lotion, as it is the only thing that does not cause a reaction on my skin. That is until now. It is no secret that ... more

One of my friends works in our local branch of Lush and is always recommending products to me (I suspect she may be on commission!). One of the first products that she mentioned was Angels On Bare Skin, a cleanser and exfoliator based on an ancient medieval recipe. Like all Lush products it is hand-made, suitable for vegetarians, has not been tested on animals and uses natural ingredients. Ooooh, I thought as I cooed over the fantastic name which conjured up images of fluffy, creamy, candy-floss type lotions. However, when I saw the product I was so put off that it took me 3 months to actually ... more

One questions I usually try to ask myself when buying anything is, "So, do I really need it?". I am trying to get down my credit card bill and this question is really good when trying to make a purchasing decision. Most of the time however, the answer to the question is "No, not really but what the hell I'm going to buy it anyway!!!" this is my fairly spontaneous way of buying and sometimes I am left with clothes I will never wear and shoes I think I will but never have. On this occasion though, I was left with a little gem of a product that I think I will be using for quite a while to come ... more

Lush Angels On Bare Skin is a cleanser and exfoliator, it removes dead skin cells gently, and it cleanses the skin with the most natural ingredients. Loosely based on a Medieval recipe for skin cleansing, it combines traditional ingredients with modern day know how. This product does not look particularly pretty, it is a greyish green colour, and has a consistency similar to Playdough, with bits in it! It comes in a small plastic pot, containing 100g of the “stuff”, it is quite economical, because you only need a small amount each time you use it. Here is a full list of ingredients ... more
