I had been sent a generous sample when I had brought a few lush products online, I had seen this on beauty review as a top product a while ago but the thought of lavender always made me cringe. It wasn't until I tried this cleanser for the first time that it made me not mind lavender as much as prior to trying this.
The cleanser had made itself into small slightly molded balls so I would just grab one of those and mix together with a bit of water until it made a thick paste. While mixing together you can smell the subtle lavender scent. which is not as bad as I expected.
I never found the best way to do this and I would rub the cleanser into the palms of both hands and rub my face into my hands making sure I covered as much as I could. Then I would use circular motions to gently move the seeded chunks around my face. I find this really great on the tops of my nose and around the edges of my nose.
After I'm done I gently rinse the cleanser off my face, if I'm not in a rush I like to use this cleanser in the shower and that way I extend the cleanser down to my neck and chest area.
I love how refreshing my skin feels afterwards, I suffer from redness around my nose, and when I'm breaking out those areas get very aggravated, I like to use this cleanser as a treat to calm down those areas before I apply makeup. It makes applying makeup so much easier and my skin feels and looks so much better.
This is already on my Lush list to buy, and I am so glad that I was able to try this even though I don't normally like lavender.
I absolutely love this product. I love the process of popping a little (yes not much needed at all) in your hand and adding water before applying to your face for a natural cleanse. The little bits of lavender you come across while rubbing the product into your skin make the experience even more yummy and natural. The smell is delicious. The product is value for money. It last for ages.
