Lush's cleansers aren't traditional, and I know that many people stay away from them because they are so unfamiliar. Buche de Noel is a solid cleanser wrapped in seaweed. I'm not sure why the seaweed was used to hold the cleanser together, since this comes in a pot anyway. I'm not a huge fan of the scent of this cleanser, but I know a lot of people just love it. Take a sniff of it in a store to see how you get on with it.
To use this cleanser, I take a generous chunk, and mix it with warm water to create a paste. I then apply it to my wet face, and massage it in. I find that this does a pretty good job at removing my makeup (foundation, blush, etc.), but I always remove my eye makeup with a separate product first. Buche de Noel contains ground almonds and cranberries, which act as gentle exfoliants. I think that even people with sensitive skin would benefit from this cleanser, since it is so gentle and non-irritating.
This is a limited edition product, so get it while you still can! A 100g pot will cost you $12.95, which I think is quite reasonable. The shelf life of this cleanser is about 3 months, but I have heard that you can freeze them. I've been using Buche de Noel first, and then Let the Good Times Roll for a deeper exfoliation (my skin loves being exfoliated!).

I may have to get a sample of this! I just bought Let the Good Times Roll and I'm loving it so far
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do! I really love Let the Good Times Roll :)
DeleteI'd really like to try this. I love Angels on Bare Skin so maybe I would like this too! :) x
ReplyDeleteIt's supposedly very similar to Angels on Bare Skin (I haven't tried it though!) :)
