So I’ve only gone and done it again – I’ve been
into town to visit my local Lush store TWICE now this month, and both times
treated myself to a cheeky number of purchases.
I’ve been reading up on all of the bath bombs these last few months – as
this was something that I had always tried to stay clear of. I was never really one to enjoy a bath for
many years, that was until I discovered the many Instagram accounts for Lush
products, all of which contain beautiful pictures of bath art. I was a firm believer that having a bath
would only dry my skin out further – my eczema can get really bad from time to
time (now being one of those times), and even a short shower is enough to make
my skin dry up like an old raisin.
Alas, after flicking through the Lush mag ten too
many times, and religiously reading up on each and every bath bomb further on
the Lush app, my detective skills have proven me wrong once again. Like many of their other products, Lush have a number of bath products that are designed to soothe the skin and
leave them feeling soft, silky and refreshed.
With my skin being as red, sore and inflamed these last couple of weeks,
I did the whole treat yo self thing and picked up five bath bombs to try out,
in a bid to make me feel better.
Avobath - “feed
the skin and the soul”
This bomb is made with avocado, which is packed
with essential fatty acids – which is what us folks with dry skin really
need! I read lots of reviews about this
particular bath bomb, as this is one of the slightly more expensive ones at
£3.50 a go. It was however one of the
best £3.50 purchases I have made in a very long time! Avobath smells absolutely gorgeous from the
moment you drop it in the bath, it releases lots of citrus scents alongside
the unmistakable smell of bergamot. The
scents were really enjoyable and gave me an instant feeling of being alert and
awake – the app even recommends using in the morning to give you that morning
boost. Once emerged in the water, it turns your bath a beautiful fresh green
colour, which I enjoyed because I had assumed that any bath bomb designed for
dry skin would be plain and basic – which little to no excitement. When in the tub, the water felt really silky
and my skin began to feel really soothed the longer I soaked. When I got out and applied the copious
amounts of moisturiser to myself, my skin felt super fresh and appeared less
irritated which was great – and I didn’t even need to go for a cold shower that
evening either! This is one that I will
be buying for every time my skin is feeling meh.
Butterball – “for
delicious looking skin”
When I spied that this little beauty was the
perfect partner for dry and irritated skin - I grabbed two to go as they were
only £2.65 each! These little white
bombs smell good enough to eat, which I believe is down to the ylang ylang oil
that they use for the calming and relaxing properties. Butterball is filled with delicious cocoa
butter, which makes the water feel silky smooth as if you are legitimately
soaking in a bath of the stuff! Unlike
Avobath, when I got out of the bath my skin actually felt as though it had be
properly nurtured, and I felt that I had be actively coated in
cocoa butter. Although I applied my
moisturiser as normal, on this occasion I probably could have gotten away with leaving
it for a while as my skin really felt super good, and smelt totally
delicious. It truly is an amazing little
pick me up, and it was so good that my boyfriend ended up pinching one of mine,
as well as getting some of his own after!
Golden Egg – “Good
as Gold”
This one was more of an Easter treat to myself, I
didn’t really pick it up for it skin perking purposes – however I was fully
aware of the fact that it is jam packed with cocoa butter – hence why I got
two! This bath melt left the bath water
silky smooth and glittery – which evidently made my skin silky smooth and
glittery too! The room filled with a
beautiful toffee scented fragrance, which was to die for. As
this is an Easter buy, I’ll certainly purchase another couple before they’re
done for the year – as although not as effective as Butterball, it was nice to
soak in some cocoa butter, as have a pretty looking bath to sit in!
What’s your favourite Lush bath bomb?
Until the next one,
