My spontaneous trip to Lush one day is the reason why my acne has finally cleared, thus reducing those pesky acne scars. After dealing with acne for some years now, I have gone through so many products and treatments (whether harsh or light), and nothing has worked until I tried these products from Lush…

There are so many skin care companies and products out there, however, as a facial cleanser nothing had reacted well with my skin. Even if the cleanser did not irritate my skin, it did not help clear my acne, and that is the one thing I need out of a product.

Let the Good Times Roll is my holy grail. After at least one week of using the facial (and body) cleanser, my skin felt nourished and super clean. As the label states, “Buff skin to softness with our sweet, balancing maize flour and corn oil cleanser.” Lush definitely carries this statement out to be true.

Most exfoliators out there can damage the skin if used too rough. However, the maize flour and corn oil face and body cleanser purifies my skin and gets rid of all impurities better than leading brands. This one Lush product lightly yet deeply enough buffed my skin back giving me smooth soft skin.

I have had a hard time finding a moisturizer that actually keeps my skin supple and nourished without clogging my pores. Some end up being ways to heavy making it feel actually disgusting, or some just end up breaking me out horribly. Well, do I have a solution for that!

My skin tends to be dry and oily (combination skin) and Imperialis is the absolute perfect product to fix this. The label reads, “An orange blossom cream that’s perfect to balance out-of-sorts skin” and the moisturizer does exactly that. Although it can take about two days to feel your skin completely balanced, it is worth it.

I use it two times a day, once in the morning and once before bed, both times after I wash my face using the cleanser. I love this product, however, I have my eyes set on Vanishing Creamafter this second container of Imperialis runs out!

Although I have just run out, Mask of Magnaminty,was the first face mask I bought from Lush and it was the best decision I had ever made. It cleaned deep into my pores and after ever use I felt my skin become so light.

“We add loads of ground aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe and moisturize.” It is the complete all in one for me.

Also, who would not love the minty smell it gives off? I keep the mask on for usually a little around 15 minutes and until it has dried. After I wash it off with warm water, I know my skin is thanking me!

These products listed above are ones that suited my skin. In other words, it might not work for you 100 percent but I definitely recommend trying them because they seriously did save my skin. Although these are three products I absolutely adore, there will be a post about the ones I am really not a huge a fan of...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
