The British LUSH website describes Angels on Bare Skin as an "angelic medieval rose and lavender cleansing wash". It doesn't contain soap, instead ground almonds, glycerine and kaolin is used to cleanse the skin. It also contains lavender oil, rose absolute and chamomile oil and is recommended for normal to dry skin. For some strange reason the people at LUSH decided to put lavender flowers in it, why I don't know.
I was recommended this cleanser in the store when I was looking for a cleanser that doesn't irritate my skin and leaves it feeling dry after washing. I was told that I could use it daily but I think it is too harsh of an exfoliator for that. I recommend using it two to three times a week instead.
It is hard for me to write a review for this product because I sort of hate it and like it at the same time. The reason for my hatred is that it is so messy to use. It ends up everywhere, in the sink, in my hair, on my clothes, you name it and it's there. Also I don't like the smell but it may be caused by my dislike for the smell of lavender.
I do like the effect on my skin after I use it. After I have used it I put on my Dramatically Different Moisturizer from Clinique and go to bed ( Yes, I cleanse my skin at night before I go to sleep). When I wake up my skin is glowing and it feels soft to the touch. I am not sure that I can't get the same effect from a different exfoliator though.
Will I purchase this again? I honestly don't know. I like the effect of the cleanser but not the messiness. I think I would have to try a couple of different exfoliators and cleansers before I can answer this question. I will definitely revisit this review and let you know when I have an answer.
