My skincare has been needing a bit of a revamp recently, so I decided to give a moisturiser from Lush a go. Recently my skin has just been so dry and generally unhappy, and when I thought about it I realised I had been using the same No7 moisturiser for the last two years. I chose a Lush offering because of the more natural ingreedients, which I'm really loving recently.
£11.95 for 45g

Lush say: "Help troubled, dry skin become angelic by smoothing this light cream on your face daily. It's made of skin-soothing ingredients that form a light barrier on the skin to help it retain its moisture. Almonds are high in vitamin E, which is said to help protect skin from damage, while dove orchids condition and soothe."
Celestial was recommended for me because of my sensitive skin, and for the problems that I've been having recently. Some of it's key ingredients are almond oil, for hydration, fresh dove orchid extract, to help clear up problem skin, and vanilla water to make it stimulating. The smell of this is, to me, absolutely divine. I wasn't really sold on it, but it's a very floral vanilla scent which I'm in love with. A good-smelling moisturiser is pretty important to me, no one wants to be smothering something a bit weirdly scented all over.
Since I've started using this, I've noticed a definite improvement in my skin. It's not getting as dry as it was before, and I'd say that it's definitely helped with things like unevenness caused by blemishes. I have a lot of redness in my skin because of eczema, which this hasn't affected at all, and I'd actually say that it has helped to reduce it.
It's quite a light moisturiser but it's not the fastest to sink into my skin that I've ever used. If you're putting anything on top, then I always go for letting this sink in for 10 minutes first. I like that, because I just get on with other things while it does its thing but I don't always have the patience to sink in. It doesn't exactly have an oily feel while it's there, it's more just taking a while to work, but if you've got oily skin I can't see this being the one for you.
Buy it here.
Do you think you'd give this a go?
