When Lush first came to my town I was drawn in. At that stage my skin was seriously sensitive. Even looking at anything with perfume would react with it. I was drooling over everything when a assistant who had sensitive skin came to talk to me.
She totally understand my skin and how Fustrating it was and sent me home with honey I washed the kids soap and shower gel. I was hooked! I brought the soap and was still worried how my skin would go. I was told if I reacted I could get a refund.
So these soaps you get to pick how big a chunk you would like. You can also pick if you would like the top honeycomb bit. It's the hard bit that is stuck to the top. I like that bit. If you break a wee bit off and put it in the plug hole area, as the hot water hits it, it sends the fragrance up. Make sure it's smaller than the hole so water can still go down. It's also nice wrapping it up in the paper it comes in and placing in clothes drawers or linen cupboards.
So the soap. It's a strong honey smell. It wont dry out your skin (still requires moisturizer after showering) and doesn't react with my eczema. It leaves a lovely soft fragrance on your skin. Using it on babies is heaven! Smelling them with it on. Need I say more lol
I bought the Honey I washed my hair solid shampoo and shower gel so it only seemed right that I complete the set and get the soap. I am so glad I did too. I am a sweet scent loving girl so of course when I see the name honey I am all in with no regrets. I love the scent of the Honey I washed the kids soap. It sticks to the name of smelling just like honey but with an almost caramel undertone to it which drives my senses nuts! I bought a biggish offcut of this soap because I knew I would just fall in love with it. $11.34 later and I had this baby join my Lush honey crew.
It's a light caramel colour and has the rustic look I love about the lush soaps. It's never an even shape, just a cut off the big block and that's the way I like it. I really only use this soap in the bath because I find that it tends to melt away far too fast in the stream of the shower. Also I find that leaving it in the shower creates a slimy build up on the soap if I don't wash it off the block every day. I have found that even though I am obsessed with this soap and using it on my skin, it tends to dry my skin out a bit so am left having to moisturize big time after every use. I am ok with this because the honey/caramel scent is on my skin for hours afterwards. I always have to have a chunk on hand because it really grabs you and won't let you go. It's really that scrummy.
Tips: Don't leave it in the shower for too long without use. It develops a slimy soapy buildup that is unpleasant.
