Lush Skincare: The Spot Fixing Duo

Hello everyone! Recently my skin has not been the best so I started doing a bit of research on new skincare products.

To quickly sum up my skin history, basically I’m quite lucky in the sense that I don’t have acne however I do get spots and they can be very big. It usually happens when I’m on my period so they’re obviously hormonal however recently they never seem to go away which is really annoying.

 My trusty Clarins cleanser which I swear by didn’t seem to be doing the trick anymore (although I still use it and highly rate it) and neither did my Clean & Clear spot treatment - both which used to instantly clear up my skin so I was on the hunt for a new skincare product to do something. I’d heard quite a lot about Lush Grease Lightning and how great that was, so I knew that was probably what I was going to get. But I also heard amazing things about their tea tree toner, and I know tea tree is supposed to be great for spots. I was sick of using a ton of chemicals like salicylic acid to treat spots so Lush is perfect as it’s all organic and vegan. Plus they don't test on animals!

So I bought both products, hoping something would help my situation. Hallelujah they helped my skin, although for me this was not an overnight fix at all. I’d say it took around a month before my skin was properly clear, but now I can’t do without the tea tree water. Out of the two, this is probably my favourite as it’s very refreshing and prevents spots on a daily basis. It leaves your skin feeling clean and hydrated, which is the best feeling before bed. I honestly couldn’t rave about this product enough, and it has become a staple in my skincare routine.

Grease lightning is amazing for spots which are about to come. They state on the bottle that this is best for spots before they show, which is definitely true. I found that if before bed you spot that annoying red mark which you know is going to be a spot, popping this on will make it disappear overnight. Sadly it doesn’t really work once your spot has already appeared. Still, I love it and if you can feel a spot is coming, this will instantly zap it off!

Now, my skin is definitely a lot clearer than it was before. Obviously I still get spots every now and then, but I found that these two are the perfect duo for preventing spots.
