cosmetic glee

Lush's Tea Tree Water is The Stuff. My skin has always been very sensitive and prone to breakouts. I was used to getting a very painful subdermal zit every two weeks or so, which would hurt, look very bad, and not go away easily. About a month ago, I started using the Tea Tree Water twice a day. Holy cow, did it do its job. I noticed Saturday night that I was getting a big zit on my cheek, so I made sure to douse it extra-well with the toner. It started going away instead of just getting worse. Today, it's almost gone.

My skin still isn't perfect, but it's much healthier now than it has been in the past couple of years. My current routine is to wash with Coalface in the morning and use the Tea Tree Water; in the evening, I use Sweet Japanese Girl to pull the oil out of my pores and then the toner to kill anything left in them. The Coalface isn't as harsh as they say it is on the website. My skin does feel a little tight and dried out after I use it, but the toner helps - and I'll use some Clinique lotion if it feels very dry. The Sweet Japanese Girl is weird stuff. It feels very oily and greasy when you put it on, but works like a Biore strip to pull blackheads out of your skin.

Yes, I'm a total Lush addict. How could you tell? It's a little more expensive than the drugstore, but it's made from all-natural ingredients and I think it works better. If you can get to a store, I'd recommend it, as shipping can be a nightmare.
