LUSH Angels on Bare Skin
Since LUSH returned to Singapore, I've been meaning to pick up a tub of Angels on Bare Skin. I first used it 2-3 years ago, when I bought it directly from Lush.co.uk. Back then, I liked how gentle it was to my skin, and while it didn't work miracles, it was a soothing and inexpensive cleanser.
Fast forward to 2013, Angels on Bare Skin was always out of stock in Singapore. Then, while on holiday in Japan, I picked it up from Lush Japan! And the sweetener is that it costs only $10 for 80g (versus Singapore's $23 for 100g).
First thing to note: 80g is infinitely better than 100g, because Angels on Bare Skin has a very very short shelf-life. It can only last about 3 months, or around 4 months if you store it inside the fridge and remove only when needed. And 80g is more than enough for 4 months or so. A secondary consideration for non-UK shoppers would be that the products travel across the globe to wherever you're located, so the product can last for less than the shelf-life, so beware.
Angels on Bare Skin is not a cleanser you use when you're in a huge hurry. Using a clean finger, swipe and remove a decent size amount. Placing it on your palm, use some water to press and mix into a paste of sorts. Then, spread over your face, and thoroughly massage the product in. The ground almonds provide gentle exfoliation, while the Kaolin works to draw out impurities and toxins. The lavendar oil makes the entire process rather enjoyable and soothing.
So, how does this cleanser fare? It's really gentle, while exfoliating away the dead skin. The glycerine means that your skin is never dried-out from using this product. Has it prevented any monthly outbreak of acne (you know what I'm referring to)? Well, not really. But it is still a decent cleanser that would be great for people with sensitive skin, and prefers a all-natural, mild cleanser that will also exfoliate.
Will I repurchase? Perhaps, when I run out of cleansers. But, how I hope that LUSH Singapore would consider selling it in 50g tubs, instead of 100g. It feels terrible to always be wasting a good cleanser, when the expiry date comes knocking.
