Let The Good Times Roll Cleanser

When someone asks me my favourite range of products by Lush, cleansers are the first to spring to mind. Why? Because every pot or bottle is filled with fresh, natural, skin goodness. And after trying most of them, there's not a single one that's on my worst products list.

You might have noticed that Lush products are non-prescriptive, meaning they won't label a product as "for oily/dry/combination/normal skin" like other market brands would. They know that everyone's skin is different and their cleansers will therefore effect everyone differently, despite their skin type. But that doesn't mean they're good for all skin types, a lot of them have targeted ingredients for certain conditions. Because of this, they do recommend that you get a skin consult in store to see which cleanser is best fit depending on their ingredients.

Let The Good Times Roll is a cleanser I define as made for drier skin types. When winter is coming I grab this one off the shelf and breathe in all it's glory. It offers maize flour, polenta, and actual popcorn pieces, to give a light exfoliation, just enough to unclog my pores without stripping the skin. It also features cinnamon, which stimulates the skin, and corn oil to provide vitamin E. Combined all together, these ingredients soften and brighten the skin. Leaving it lightly moisturised and smelling of yummy popcorn. I must admit this is definitely the best smelling cleanser Lush has to offer. I can't leave the same room without having a sniff of its deliciousness.

With similar designs to Angels on Bare Skin, Herbalism, and Dark Angels, these fresh cleansers are unusual to use at first. Demanding to take a pinch and add a drop of water until formed into a paste, this will be a new experience for all new Lushies and will take some time to get used to. Once formed into a paste, massage into skin and wash off with water or a face cloth. I find Let The Good Times Roll is more moist than the others, and therefore just wetting my face and applying straight on is enough, creating a paste by massaging it in. This way you gain more exfoliation, whereas if you want something softer, you add more water.

You will find that they have a short expiration date. With an average of 3 months. From all the pots I've had, they've definitely made it past that but don't worry, as long as little to no water gets in the pot and you keep it in a dry place, it shouldn't go off. Most Lush products last a lot longer than their use-by date but some aren't as effective as they would be when fresh.

The cleansers feature a more expensive price tag than the usual £1 drug store ones. But considering quality, performance, longevity, ingredients and fair pay to the farmers of those ingredients, it certainly makes it worth it.
