There's An Art to Perfect Skin

Lush's "Angels on Bare Skin"

Lush's "A Breath of Fresh Air"

Even though I am young, I have experienced a lot of skin issues that I try desperately to find a way to fix. You know what I'm talking about  - the periodic breakouts, the dry flakey skin, irritation from the wrong kinds of products.  Selecting the appropriate products to address problem skin can be a big pain in the butt - not to mention an expensive one.  I believe that purchasing the right face/skincare products is more important than makeup. Some makeup can make the problems worse, and if you have skin problems more makeup is required to cover it up  - compounding the problem. It can be a visious cycle.  Trust me, I know the urge to want to buy everything in the store when I see one of the common makeup companies produce a new product.  I've been to dermatologists and tried hundreds of products - high-end and drugstore - and nothing ever seemed to work. My face seemed constantly seemed to change and nothing seemed to work. It went from oily, oily to combination, then to dry, and I was always chasing it with a different product. I was pretty much fed up until I had the brilliant idea of buying an assortment of facial products and switching them out on a day to day basis. Sure enough, I saw results immediately and couldn't have been happier.  There was a period of time when I was so fed up with drugstore products, I researched other companies and found Lush. I know they are gaining in popularity, but they were new to me.  When I got the chance to go to a Lush store (actually I visited 2 in New York), it was more than just a pick-up and go experience, you actually got to test the products right then and there. I've learned from experimenting with products and how my face reacts  it needs change. Once I discovered the Lush products, I began experimenting with rotating them.  Bottom line variety worked for me, the next blog I will share specific products. Just remember, no matter what the price, find something that will work for you, like Lush did for me
