DIY: Lush's "Angels on Bare Skin" Facial Cleanser

 Today I'm going to share with ya'll a recipe on how to make your very own Lush "Angels on bare Skin" Facial Cleanser. This cleanser is based off of the Lush facial cleanser. The main differences between this facial cleanser and Lush's is, one this cleanser wont be exactly like Lush's, two this one is WAY cheaper, and last this one might not smell the same. I wanted to make this cleanser because I think the concept of starting with a slightly dry paste and adding water to "revive" the cleanser is very cool. Also I actually have never tried lush's actual "Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser", in fact I have never tried any lush products (sadly :( , but I do one day want to try their products, and when I do I will review them for y'all). So now lets get started on how to make this!

 What you Need:

• 3 Tablespoons of Almond meal
• 1 Tablespoon of some kind of clay (I used Bentonite, but Lush's cleanser uses Kaolin)
• 1 Tablespoon of Glycerine
• 1 Tablespoon Rose water, witch hazel, or even distilled water (Lush just states their liquid as Water, but I feel that rosewater is better for your skin, I actually used Rosewater & Glycerin)
•  At least 1 Tablespoon of Lavender (optional, but Lush uses this and it makes the cleanser smell and look better)
• Essential oils(optional): I didn't use essential oils, but that is only because I don't have alot of essential oils, but you can use your favorite essential oil(s). The oils Lush uses are Lavender, Rose Absolute, Chamomile Blue, and Tagetes oil.

Lush also puts Benzoin Resinoid,  Limonene, and Linalool in their cleanser,Lush states that Benzoin Resinoid is a slightly aromic cleansing, anti bacterial, and anti inflammatory gum that comes from evergreen trees. Limonene is stated to be  a pale yellow lemon like smelling liquid that comes from some citrus, herb, and flower essential oils. Linalool is stated to be a colorless sweet odored liquid that occurs in many of the same essential oils as the Limonene does.

Step 1: In a bowl mix together all your ingredients except the lavender buds, until a crumbly paste is created.

Step 2: Flatten the mixture on parchment paper until it is a half of an inch thick, and sprinkle lavender buds on the top and press them in.

Step 3:Roll the mixture into a roll, and press together like in the picture, and lastly you can sprinkle more lavender buds on top of the roll. To store this put it in a airtight container I have mine in a mason jar. 

                                                         How it works:

First take a pinch of the roll in the palm of your hand.

Next add water to the mixture and smoosh the paste in the water until you get your desired cleanser texture, then wash your face as normal with this product.
