    I love their products too and use Imperialis moisturiser which is really good for normal to oily skin.

    They do other moisturisers too.

    Imperialis is my favourite too. My skin is oily and super sensitive but this seems to even it up without being too drying. Why don't you pop in and ask for a sample?

    I used one of their solid face washes recently- Fresh Farmacy. I'd say my skin is combination as it alternates between too oily and too dry :( My face felt very clean after use but also very tight, and after a few days I came out in a rash. Still, that could be because my skin dries out easily! I'd still use it occasionally when I want a deep cleanse, and it's great for packing in hand luggage if you're going away.

    I have quite oily skin and I use Coalface (solid facial wash) and the Tea Tree Water toner. The Coalface is good to use at night, it's deep cleaning and gets all the makeup, sweat and London grime out of my pores, then I give my face a wipe with the Tea Tree toner in the morning to freshen up.

    There is one of their masks I really like as well, have forgotten the name but it is bright yellow and contains honey.

    I haven't tried their moisturisers so can't recommend one but the staff should give you samples if you ask nicely! (I use Olay by day & rosehip seed oil at night, for the record.)

  • I use the celestial moisturiser at night as it is quite greasy if you use too much. It leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated and also great for sensitive skin.

    Fresh Farmacy was great for me at first then it started drying my skin out badly so the very helpful Lush staff recommended Aqua Marina to me as very similar but less drying and that works a treat - it sounds like it might be good for you too. Both are much better than any other face wash I've ever used but it's about finding the right one for your skin type. The Lush staff are always keen to give advice (even when you wish they'd leave you to shop in peace :rotfl:)
