I Found the Most Gentle Facial Cleanser at Lush and I'm Sad.

If you're in the market for a gentle cleanser - #BucheDeNoel is for you but beware - it's a seasonal goodie.
I'll admit it - I'm a Lush junkie. I have an addiction to bath bombs, bubble bars, and my Dream Cream body lotion.
This Christmas season, I was over the moon with all the new seasonal goodies like Santa's Belly, Sleepy shower gel, and the Buche De Noel facial cleanser.
I gravitated towards Buche De Noel in my local Lush store because of the fact that it looks like stuffing - my favorite Thanksgiving side dish. The scent of almonds and cranberries made me fall deeper in love. Both the texture and smell sealed the deal for me and once I learned that it was a seasonal goodie, I knew I had to snag it.
This facial and body cleanser contains ground almonds, dried cranberries, cocoa butter, almond essential oil, glycerine, kaolin and nori seaweed. What I love most about this product is that the ground almonds act as an exfoliate but the cocoa butter prevents the skin from feeling stripped of the natural oils while leaving it super soft.
Kaolin clay and cocoa butter work together to leave your skin baby-bottom smooth, according to Joanna Vargas, a Skincare Expert (and magician!). The white kaolin clay is great to mildly exfoliate sensitive skin, absorb oils and remove toxins without over-drying your face. Glycerine is a must-have ingredient in your skincare products for the winter because it helps keep moisture in by forming a protective layer on your skin.
Lush is known for using fresh, real ingredients and this product proves it 100%. You can actually see the dried cranberries and pieces of almonds. As you can see below, the entire cleanser is wrapped up in nori seaweed, which you are also able to use.
HOW TO USE:
- You pinch a piece of seaweed as you grab a small amount of the cleanser in your hand.
- Add water to the mixture in your hand to form a paste.
- Massage into your clean face to gently cleanse. (Massage in circles to stimulate blood flow.)
-Rinse clean and pat skin dry.
I use this cleanser morning and night depending on how my skin is feeling. As I am massaging the product into my face, I immediately feel the ground almonds lightly scrubbing the dirt and oil away while the cocoa butter leaves my skin soft.
This is the MOST gentle exfoliating cleanser I've ever used and I will be repurchasing next Christmas season. I'm going to try to make this one last until the spring time - which works out because this product is also self-preserving!! If you are looking to buy this beauty next Christmas season, it was $12.95 for 3.5oz.
I am sad because it is a seasonal goodie, but I am happy I grabbed it last-minute in the BOGO sale (THANK YOU MARKETING EMAILS!).
Thank you Lush for making this gem.
