Lush Aqua marina: - Review

Lush Aqua marina:

Product Description:
Skin-softening seaweed cleansing wash. Aqua Marina is a calming but effective cleanser and a joy to use. Like a pink mousse wrapped in seaweed, it feels so soft and wobbly that you'll want to play with it, rather than clean your face with it. Smooth it on, rinse it off and your face feels smooth, smells sweet and looks brighter. It has calamine and aloe vera to soothe irritated skin, especially when you've been caught by the sun or the wind. The kaolin cleanses deeply and tightens your skin a little. Immediate result: smoother, softer and firmer skin straight away. Long term result: using Aqua Marina will help to get rid of your skin's toxins and protect it from the wear and tear of daily life.

Ingredients List:


 Comments:
This product comes in a small black standard lush tub.
The smell reminds me of a calm soothing scent that can be sniffed only when near a beach - perfect example that i could think of is besant nagar beach at chennai :) 
It is a very very thick soft pinkish paste.
It has green leafy things , that i suppose are sea weed. These act like scrub while washing my face with this one.


How do I use this? 
I remove the make up with a face wash,
I take a small bit of this cleanser on my fingers (making sure the fingers are dry) ,
Add few drops of water ,
Make a paste out of the thick cleanser,
Apply on face,
Massage into the face for nearly three mins,
Wash it off with plenty of water.


End Results: 
A very very clean face with a very calming / soothing effect.


Positives:) :
* Very soothing and Calming, though scent smells absurd at first, it gives out a very soothing effect afterwards.
* The sea weed act like a very mild scrub and with the first wash itself , you can see the skin glowing.
* After a hot day under the chennai heat, i love using this as it reduces the burns/redness and beats the summer with a big broomstick!! :P
* I believe, this is suitable for both dry and oily skins gals
* We know the ingredients and am glad that this does not foam - no sls :)

Negatives:( :
* Some may not like the scent.
* Sometimes, when the seaweed gets stuck to your hair, and say, you notice it only after few hours, then its really very awkward and difficult to remove them. So, I use the paste parts in the mornings / when i would be going out, and I use the seaweed part when I know I would be inside the home. :)

Will I buy this again:
Yep! Its a must for hot summers! :)
