How LUSH saved my skin and my confidence

Thank God for that lovey guy in the Grafton street (Dublin) store who saw me shyly sniffing at bath ballistics in the corner of the shop. He came bounding over like I was a best friend he hadn't seen in years and was so friendly and chatty that I forgot about my terminal shyness and told him all about how my cystic acne and rosacea were getting me down, to the point of social anxiety.

He was really sympathetic and told me that he used to have the exact same skin issues and that LUSH had saved him, and as I looked at his perfectly flawless complexion, I felt a flutter of hope.

He recommended a few of his all time favorites, including;
• Angels On Bare Skin cleanser for day,
• Ultrabland cleanser for night,
• Catastrophe Cosmetic fresh face mask twice a week,
• Celestial moisturizer for every day use

And as soon as I tried them at home, I knew everything was about to change. Two years later, I no longer have acne and my rosacea is under control.

I've since experimented and made my own list of LUSH favorites and I'll never look back. People think LUSH is about things that smell nice, having posh baths and saving the planet, (and it is) but it ultimately saved my confidence and cured a skin problem that was really really getting me down.

I used to be too ashamed of my face to even leave the house.. I'm now an actress and I do a bit of modelling here and there too!!

 LUSH; you are my hero!

  1. And chance you would share what you use now? I suffer from "mild" stubborn risacea with redness and big Papuals on my cheeks. I've recently been introduced to Lush and I purchased the 4 projects you listed above. Thank you :)
