Be a LUSH: Face Your Beauty Care Needs From Head to Toe

Being fabulous should not cost you to abuse your skin. I love a nicely beat face, perfumes and heavenly smelling skin products but I also love my skin. I often receive compliments on the softness and smoothness of my skin, so it’s important to me that it stays that way. Realize that beauty care consists of not just the face; it’s head to toe. So, take your body on a FAB journey to ...

LUSH

I recently celebrated my birthday and visited some friends in Dallas. There, my great friend (and product queen) Courtney introduced me to an oasis of natural cosmetics for the entire body. LUSH Homemade Cosmetics! And I have to admit, I became a lush.

I was unaware that such a place even existed. I indulged in products that left my skin feeling more soft and all around the products I tried were absolutely phenomenal. Zack, the hilarious sales guy that helped us, had our hands—from our forearms, to the cuticles, to the ball of our fingers—feeling like pure silk.

But their products are endless. There’s something for every part of your body: face, hands, feet, breasts, eyes, mouth, underarm, and even hair.

What makes LUSH such a FAB choice for beauty care is the fact that their products and fragrances are handmade from organic fruits, vegetables, oils and safe synthetics.

Behold LUSH’s King of Skin. King of Skin is a body butter that comes in a solid bar. It’s made from fresh bananas and avocados and whipped with oat milk and lavender. Apply this right after a shower or bathing and your skin is bound to start a softer transformation. There are numerous others.

One of LUSH’s most unique products is their bath bomb. They are medium sized balls rich in fragrance that disintegrate after dropping into bath water. Each bath bomb has a different scent and feature. Some explode colorfully releasing flower petals or stars. It’s a treat compared to the normal bubble bath.

LUSH has other bath products as well as creams, scrubs, lotions, powders, deodorants, cleansers, moisturizers, toners, etc. And, there’s also things for men! So, stop by your local LUSH and experiment.

Keep it fab...
