Hey Science Babes! I did not comment on the fragrance in this line, as I thought it was pretty clear that Lush contains a lot of heavily fragranced items. A lot of you are not bothered by fragrance/ EOs and a lot of are you are sensitive to them. I realize this is an oversight on my part but based on the ingredients lists if you react poorly to fragrance and essential oils, Lush products may not be for you. "Fragrance in Skincare" video is coming your way soon!
I hope you talk about the difference in scented products on the face, and on the body! Most skincare advice is only about the face, but we usually don't need to be as careful with body products. Sometimes you just want to use a scented body lotion, is that as sensitising as it is for the face?
Kenna you put so much work into your reviews please don’t apologise ☺️💋🧴💄
Your videos are excellent and extremely informative! And of course you can't focus on every aspect in every video, people need to chill. Thank you for your hard work!
Kenna what about the parabens
@@SShahids Parabens are preservatives - check out her recent video about preservatives, she goes into a lot of detail on parabens.
That left hand had a whole spa day.
😂😂😂😂
Riight??
Seriously though! Left hand luxury treatment
Yet it never got waxed 😢
we love an actual educated person to review these products, not just someone who’s gonna say it’s good because it worked out for them
13 lush products... you must have spent a fortune lol
400 dollars later... 😂
I mean her skincare line is pretty expensive
You guys are worth it! It's all I've ever spent on Lush as it was my first purchase so I felt OK about it haha :) Also gifting a lot of these items to friends and family so that makes the hit less bad as I love surprising people with gifts :)
good ingredients cost more
i swear you're a mind-reader... i was wishing you would make a lush review not even an hour ago!
Literally same!
Same!!
I was expecting something a bit more thorough with ingredient breakdown and whether it affects the skin at all rather than ‘how it feels’
Me too!
Yeah me too, although it's probably hard to say things generally about a product because everyone has differnt need..?
same
Samr
I don’t need any guru’s telling me what is or isn’t good. Just need Kenna 🥰 So happy to see you continue on your uploads after the JH lipstick fiasco! Ty for your time, Kenna!!!
I had no idea citrus oils affected UV absorption through the skin. Thank you for the new knowledge.
Jaime Johnesee they’re also very damaging during sun exposure, lemon specially could burn your skin and all citrus oils and volatile fragrant oils create irritation and hyperpigmentation, most people think they’re good for your skin cause they “natural”.
It's called a phototoxic reaction, and they are so damaging! Idk why companies still insist upon using them in leave on products.
@@afic10 Thank you for the further information! I appreciate it. 💙
@@jenm9099 Money is my guess. I hope you have an excellent day. 💙
Not all are like that. SD for example isn’t.
Can you please review the ingredients in Kylie Skin? I think it would be interesting to see the quality of her skin care items.
Cassandra Bankson did some very in depth Reviews :)
The eye syrum has alcohol in it so it's a big no no for sure.
I thought everyone knows that it's a scam and not an actual skincare... she's a gold digger and that's about it
@@mariafoivi3599 Not all alcohols are bad. The one in the eye serum (Cetearyl Alcohol) is actually a fatty alcohol that isn't bad for the skin.
It helps prevent creams from separating into oil and liquid. It may also make a product thicker or increase the product’s ability to foam.
check out Dr Dray she’s a dermatologist here on youtube + did a review on it!
I work at lush and was so excited to see your opinion on our brand! I agree that ocean salt is wayyyyy too abrasive. The self preserving version is a little less aggressive.
Captain Pancakes same here 🙌
Can you guys recommend a shampoo for a extremely oily hair?
Is the shampoo "Big" as good as it sounds?
Girl on a tight budget seeking your help here 😅
Amani Amy big is good if you’re looking to absorb excess oils and get volume. I personally like to recommend I Love Juicy, Rehab, or Jumping Juniper for oily hair!
What do you recommend from lush for someone with sensitive DRY ass skin?? I need help😅😂
Ginelle Hughes Cetaphil is from the drugstore but it is very gentle and not drying at all.
I love that you actually hear our requests. Not a lot of channels actually do that 😍😍 thank you for doing this! I've been wondering about lush skincare for a while since a lot if people dont recommend it due to heavy fragrance and oils.
I like Lush concept of minimal packaging. But all the fragrance. Essential oils. Alcohol. Talc. And dyes. Eurgh. My skin would disown me. I struggle enough as it is to keep it under control. Thank you for spending your money and time going through these. ❤️
it’s honestly so sad they use talc, fragrance/essential oils and nonvegan ingredients... like why not be a vegan brand with no scent that is way better for the skin and planet!
Yes and the sulphates
Ginger Badjie I think lush is a great “idea” if they had less herbs and fragrance and highly irritating ingredients in it
Agreed. I choose Ethique over Lush because they have unscented, fragrance free, essential oil free products with sustainable packaging.
@@T-Laydie exactly! I feel for the people who use it not knowing what it is doing to their skin in the long term :/
Review the Aztec secret clay mask!
Yes!!
Melissaa Mora yesss!! Omg please
Check out Dr Dray a certified dermatologist who reviews it :)
I'd like to know more about Juice Beauty and Mario Bedascu products!
Would also like to see Mario Badescu
Yes to Mario Badescu!
+1 for Juice beauty!!!
Yes yes to Mario badescu!! I use the glycolic acid toner and it seems good to me but what do I know 🤷🏼♀️😂
Yessss to Mario bedascu! I own three sprays in the mini size to try them they came in a set. So far I’m liking the rose water one over the other ones I’ve tried. But I heard they’re overpriced water and don’t really do anything for the skin so I’m curious what she thinks!
I love all the uploads, but PLEASE don't burn yourself out!!! K luv u bye
I really hope she doesn't, I've been worried about her exhausting herself to try and keep up the content.
She should adopt an upload schedule. One or twice a week and give herself time to rest! Love her uploads but I agree, I don’t want her to burn herself out.
There’s money to be made though.
naturegirl321 it should be balanced with a focus on mental health and rest😌
Yes, but ....money
I think with the ingredients, especially the really chemical sounding ones.. it would be interesting to know why they exist in the product or when they're paired with something else on that list -- how does that work for the skin, etc. It'd be lovely to hear you go in depth about the chemistry!
as a former lush employee, i thought this was amazing! you've covered so many things that i tried to always stress with customers -- having a well-researched knowledge base makes for the best relationship to one's skin. the employee training used to have an intense trichological focus (that was the owner's background), which for me was the best aspect of working there. i don't know if they still have that drive, but i'm hopeful that every employee can explain why an ingredient is in a product, ie zea mays oil in let the good times roll as a tocopherol or whatever. the fragrance/dye situation was not my fantasy for inclusion in products, and explaining to customers that they're in there always made me feel a little guilty, despite lush not considering themselves "all-natural" or anything. thank you so much for your honest and informed observations!
I can’t keep up with the uploads, you’re killing the CZcams game!
You are such a breath of fresh air. I love your channel and how informative you!
I enjoy Lush on occasion but am careful which products I choose because so many contain sulphates and they flare up my eczema. I used to love Cup O Coffee mask for the smell, but yes its super gritty for the face. Love their lip scrubs too
Kenna you should talk up your skincare brand more! Let people know!!! I had no idea you had a skincare line until I saw it in the comments!! But girl advertise yourself! With your expertise, there are definitely many people who will trust and buy your products. You deserve it. ❤️
marcicanp I think this is what makes her so credible is that her channel isn’t an ad for her own products. She truly is just passionate about ingredients and skincare and wants to educate us. I love this about her!
All I need to know is how my skin can look like that
Kristin M yes Kenna please do your skin care routine!
She has done her skincare video recently
She has her own skincare line! She uses those products.
Amber C thanks for the reply! I will check it out ♥️
I’ve been working for LUSH for 4 years now and seeing you make a video about it makes me so happy! I would have been curious to know your thoughts as a biochemist about the formulas and their stability, maybe also by looking at the products on the website. I’m comfident that you’ll keep up the good job you’re already doing with the channel tho! ♥️
I use almost strictly Lush products in my routines so i am SO HAPPY you made this video. we love an educated woman
She didn’t mention this, but all the fragrance sitting on your skin breaks down your collagen faster. Just make sure your face products don’t contain fragrance! 😧
@@annc5442 I'm on curology so don't use much of the face products! but thank you for the info, I honestly need to get a little better at reading ingredients lists!!!
@@annc5442 my mom has been using their Gorgeous moisturizer for years and her skin looks amazing - does not look her age at all!
Natalie Fragrance irritates and inflames skin even without you noticing in the moment. It secretly damages the skin’s surface, promotes ageing, causes collagen to breakdown and hurts the skin’s ability to fight environmental damage. The citrus oils in it are already speeding up the damage on your mom’s face from the suns rays. This is backed by science and can take many, many years to show up! Although your mom has great skin now, it could end up aging her faster than it would without it. I’d still recommend her switching to a fragrance free option! Imagine how much better and longer her skin will remain healthy :)
I just wanted to give some clarification on Ocean Salt, the product is supposed to be mixed before application. It has a combination of large and finer chunks of sea salt and when just opened all the large chunks are at the top. Also add more water to reduce how abrasive the product is! Ocean salt is one of my favorite products lush sells its really helped clear up my black heads and make my face glow! If you still find it to be to much try the self preserving version. :))
I used to use Lush religiously for all of my skincare (except for moisturiser because i found they were all too thick for me except for their $70 one). I started getting really really bad breakouts and I just found Lush wasn't really reducing it or doing anything for it. Switched to another cruelty free brand that was actually a little cheaper as well, it cleared up after that
What brand?
I'd like to see a review on lush naked products like face soap bars and serums
Hi Kenna!!❤❤❤ I love you and your channel so much. Thank you for all your hard work and for always being honest
Please review the ordinary next!!
I L she already did! She recommends it
@M K Not weird at all. Silicone is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and doesn't sensitise skin. Of course, you need to consider skin need, product, formula and where in a skin care routine its used.
I can’t see using all of these citrus oils (and for me, lavender oil) on my skin. The products also contain a lot of artificial fragrance as well. I’ve always been curious about the ingredients in Lush products so this is a great review for learning more. Thanks Kenna.
Hey, just to let you know Lush only have one fragrance that is synthetic: Snow Fairy. Which is only released once a year. Everything else is non-synthetic. They list "fragrance" or "perfume" to protect themselves. As ingredients are listed in order of highest to lowest concentration, they would essentially be giving away their recipe if they went into any more detail than just "fragrance" or "perfume". They have a lot to offer & in purchasing their products they do an awful lot for women in Ghana (who produce the shea butter), who get paid a fair wage, planting of the crops regenerates their land, and their children get a free education on site. That's just from one ingredient: shea butter. Lush have way more details on their website about how your purchases fund & regenerate struggling communities the world over. Please don't discount them based on misinformation or fear. They also have products specifically for folks with sensitive skin. I'm happy to recommend some or you can speak to staff or customer service on the chat feature on the website. I promise I don't work for them haha. I just think as they don't do advertising they need people debunking the misinformation surrounding Lush.
they have a CZcams channel where they show how they make their products, you can see actual ingredients and how they are prepared and mixed
@@cheekymunki6 Natural fragrances still aren't good for the skin so that doesn't really mean much. :/
@@EYohai True, however you'll note that I didn't say they were. You'll also note that Lush don't ever, ever refer to themselves as "natural". I corrected the false statement that "the products also contain a lot of artificial fragrance". Given how much Lush do for disadvantaged people and the planet, it is not fair to make baseless, incorrect, blanket statements like that.
Can you review Pixi skincare products? I use the ceramide cream
Side note, if you watch the 1% line video, and then look at the Pixi products, there's a lot of water and not a lot of anything else.
watched every ad for you girlie!!!
Can you please please review Missha products? It is a great Korean brand with awesome active ingredients!
Could you do a video about drunk elephant products, ole henrickson, or Kate sommerville
PLEASE do a Body Shop skin care review! i use it daily and would love your perspective x
I really appreciate the time and effort you’re putting into these videos. It’s extremely valuable information! Since watching your videos I’ve changed up my skincare routine etc, it’s been amazing to learn all of this properly, I can’t thank you enough! Already seeing so many benefits 🌟 you’re an angel thank you for what you do! X
I’m glad to hear someone mention the cocoa butter situation. I have very dry skin, face and body, and have tried cocoa butter products. My experiences have always been mixed or not good, the most recent experience was the worst. I tried a well known high cocoa butter content body product (on a recommendation) and my whole body was covered in a thick itchy red rash afterwards. That was from one application. Obviously I discontinued usage immediately but the rash took a couple of days to go away. I did some further research and this is apparently a known possible skin reaction to cocoa butter. I believe it’s a bit like coconut oil in that it has molecules which pass into the deeper layers of the skin quite readily and some of these can cause quite strong reactions.
And once again, Kenna delivers 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I'm LOVING all of the frequent uploads. Thank you for taking the time to create such quality content for us!!!
Perfect timing! I was actually thinking of buying the angels on bare skin mask since I'm also planning to buy a simple conditioner from them, so it's SO NICE to see products I was looking at in this video
I use all LUSH face products in my routine (AOBS, celestial, grease lightening, enchanted eye cream & fresh pharmacy.. sometimes ocean salt if I’ve had a very sweaty day or went to the pool/ beach) my skin has never looked better. They just work for me ♥️ I love LUSH reviews and your reviews are always soo good 😊
Keep it up Kenna!
Ps.. I always mix the ocean salt before using because the top layer is legit only salt. All of the butters and oils are underneath and feel great mixed together & leave skin so soft 🏖
Yeah, that's what I used to say 10 years ago. Trust me, you'll see the effect of all the fragrance, dyes, irritants, harsh scrubs, cheap fillers (talc and corn flour) and no sunscreen in time.
I was waiting for a comment about ocean salt . You definitely need to mix it before using
huntsman145 thank you for the heads up! ♥️
The issue is the salt even mixed is very sharp and can damage the faces sensitive skin.
I love all of your videos, this has quickly become one of my favorite channels! :) Can you review some Mario Badescu products?!
I'm an esthetician, and worked for Mario in the past. Their products are TERRIBLE for your skin, and they have been involved in several lawsuits for putting undisclosed corticosteroids in their formulas. It led to a huge mess, and I don't trust that company at all. I quit after that all came to light.
Jennifer M I use their rose water toner and my skin looks amazing! But I recently switched up my skincare so it could be several products instead of the MB. Do you recommend a good toner (preferably in a spray bottle) for combo acne prone skin that won’t break the bank? I really wanna try the pixi rose water toner.
@@dreamwishergirl Honestly, their spray toners are probably the safest thing MB puts out. It's just fragranced glycerin water. If you like the idea of a refreshing toner spray, look for Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Toner. It's like 8 bucks, is alcohol free, paraben free, undistilled, so not drying and it is wonderful.
Jennifer M thank you! I actually was at ulta the other day & was deciding between MB and the thayers one and I went with MB 😂
I bought a $40 leave in conditioner and loved it because it really moisturized my dry ends but had to give it away to a friend because my boyfriend couldn't stand the intense fragrance 😭 He was able to detect the tiniest amount of it in my hair from the other side of the room 🤦🏼♀️
I remember a German company making almond meal exfoliant years ago. You could buy the powder in 100 g paper bags and mix up as much as you needed each time. That stuff was great!
Shailene woodley’s twin!! You’re so beautiful :)
Angels on Bare Skin is my holy grail, I'm so happy it's approved by you😂 also been indecisive on which toner to choose. Will definitely get Tea Tree water. Thank you🖤
I was waiting with baited breath nervous she was going to poo-poo lush products. I use literally exclusively Lush haha. So chuffed she didn't trash it! 😂
@@cheekymunki6 Hahaha me too!!! I can breathe again😂😂😂
@Tina Yael Severinovna M. hey, I'm not sure what an FA outbreak is, but it might be worthwhile asking customer service on the chat feature on the Lush website if you're keen to find cruelty free products that do good for struggling communities & the planet. Let them know your situation and I'm sure they will be able to recommend products that don't have added fragrance/won't aggravate whatever condition you have. ❤
Same!! I use lush exclusively 🙂
@@karenaf5440 did you too do some damage yesterday with the launch of the Winter range? 🙈😂 I regret nothing!
Dr Dray would have a field day with these products. Peppermint is no bueno for the skin.
David Fletcher RIGHT. All the essential oils
thought of her the whole video hahaha. so much fragrance. so much no.
David Fletcher trueee, very harsh ingredients how ever natural
Dr Dray made me so aware of fragrances in products so I’m shocked at how much fragrance lush has in their products, actually mind blowing considering how the brand is marketed to be ‘good for your skin’
Thinking the same thing!
Interesting to see how different a biochemist is thinking about products vs a dermatologist. I watch dr Dray a lot and she regularly emphasizes how lavender, geraniol and all other fragrances, whether essential oil, natural or synthetic are dangerous for the skin - both in terms of vasodilation and redness as well as for the potential of developing contact dermatitis... Since Lush is positively brimming with fragrance, I was expecting you to comment on that 🤔
She didn't really comment on much. I was expecting her to have a problem with the SLS in the shampoo bar. I've used those shampoo bars and they dried my hair out HORRIBLY. I'd never recommend them for people to use..
Sarah Green yep... I personally don’t have a solid opinion on SLS but I have sensitive scalp and use very mild, specially formulated shampoos anyway. But completely agree on the fact that she didn’t comment on much whatsoever.
ok havent watched it all yet bc just clicked on but ugh kenna this look is IT
also love how you are inundating us with content but please dont burn yourself out we want you for the long run
could you do a video on pimple popping and blackhead extraction and whether or not it's good for your skin?
Even if she did this would be beyond her expertise , this is an issue that should be argued by a dermatologist. She is a biochemist with a focus on cosmetology and extractions involve a technique not really any solutions that she can explain the effect of the ingredients
Seriously??? Wow....
its not
Honestly, you hit the nail on the head on ocean salt. I haven't seen your channel ever before so when you IMMEDIATELY identified the issue me and lush customers have with sea salt I knew you knew exactly what you were talking about. I have worked extensively for lush and many, many, many customers bring ocean salt back due to it burning, reddening, and causing itching on the face. I never thought about the sharpmess the salt crystals adding to the issue. I figured it was salt mixed with lots of citrus and vodka that when mixed with exfoliation caused the issue. I definitely didn't think about that.
Eee!! You walked right into the Lush store I shop at! Queen West is a good store, and the staff has a good grasp on product knowledge. I would love you to do a video on the naked vs the bottle products and the chemistry in those.
I absolutely kenna 💕 she is helping to educate everyone, and letting people know things about products that they didn’t before. I really enjoy finding out more about the products that I use and seeing really how much they can work or not even work in some cases!
My holy grail Lush face product is the Full of Grace serum bar
Omg have you tried their Banana Skin that they released recently? I'm a total convert! I use Full of Grace at night and Banana Skin in the morning. It is 👌🏻
@@cheekymunki6 k way later but I haveeee to try it 🤣
I loved the Mask of Magnaminty for my sensitive skin during the summer at the beach, it helped my skin so much! Im SO GLAD I applied my masks kinda thick and didn’t rub it in my face to make the most of it! I’ll get it again
As a biochemist formulating skincare, do you also learn a little bit about what is bad or can cause allergys in skin? Becuase i watch a youtuber called doctor dray, she is a dermatologist and she says fragrance is a no no in skincare. So basically all of lush is a no lol
And parabens are a big no no, yet Kenna ignored those ingredients.🤷♀️
@@agendanoir9568 Kenna talked about parabens in her preservatives video, parabens are fine according to science.
@Tina Yael Severinovna M. Turns out Kenna's video today is all about fragrance, so I guess everyone can stow their pitchforks 😂
@@agendanoir9568 if you don't like parabens, stop eating fruit (especially blueberries) and some vegetables.
@@barbaraschmitt85 Don't tell me what to eat or not, thank you ;)
Kenna said her opinion regarding parabens, if I still wanted to avoid parabens, that's my thing. There is a difference in synthetic paraben and natural paraben as well.

I've been seeing a lot of mixed reviews on Lush lately and it's honestly makes me sad, because I love them so much! Their skincare is the best for my skin, nothing worked better so far. Lush products literally fixed my skin when it was in absolutely terrible condition after my new skincare from the pharmacy. I visited them in Berlin for the first time and let the consultant choose what he thinks is best for my skin, and to this day those products are my favorite (angels on bare skin is one of them). Visiting their stores just makes me so much happier every time :)
lush skincare tore my face up over time. glad i stopped using it.
I used to use coalface and it was sorta nice at first then it straight up left mini cuts on my skin.
Vanessa C Same! The exfoliants are too much. I just use their shampoos and body creams now, those I've found to be very good.
Vanessa C It’s actually very harsh... straight up herbs and flowers... it’s like fragrance on speed.. never been so allergic to anything
@@odapunkt I've never used Lush products but I was cringing as she read all ingredients, it's just pots of perfume, dye and gravel. 😖
@@T-Laydie Yep, basically. I wasted a lot of money on their products, and my wallet and face suffered.
I’m so so so so SOOOOOOO happy I found your channel. I’m a student esthetician, and your videos are very informative and they’re teaching me a lot you don’t learn in school!!! I love your videos!! ♥️♥️♥️
Can you explain your take on SLS? I've heard so many negative things about it- is it comedogenic? Is it dangerous? Would love to hear your thoughts
Alessandra Mendoza I'll definitely give that a read, thank you!! I've read so many varying opinions 😂
@@Liv-ht7us sis can u please share link of that website
lalitha sharma i found it! 💜

More than half of the lush products you reviewed is what I’ve bought from there! So good to know! Thanks so much for letting us know about the lemon and grapefruit extracts, really helpful and I agree with you that there is too much fragrance in many of them.
Hey Kenna! Could you please make a video on how a basic body-skincare routine should look like and maybe show us yours?:)
i would love to hear your opinion on BECCA COSMETICS full coverage foundation.. saying its "non-acnegenic"?? doesn't sound very legit so help us out here lol
I don't know anything about Becca products but I can tell you that noncomedogenic is a thing. Non-acnegenic might* be their lame way of trying to make it more understandable.
I feel like you’re so honest and informative I’m so glad I found this channel you ate that
I was wondering if you'd ever review Korean skincare, like the face shop, innisfree, Tony moly, missha just to name a few- South Korea I think is known for their skincare products, just a suggestion for a future video if you needed any
I can’t believe I used to use ocean salt on my face! I was having severe breakouts for 2 years and when I went for a facial and wrote down the products I was using the esthetician was like 🥴. I haven’t had a breakout since stopping 6 months ago!
wait.. lavender is soothing on the skin?? i thought lavender could be really irritating?? the smell is soothing yes, but my dermatologist told me its not great on skin.
FelineRM did hear that several times too..... soothing smell, but not soothing on the actual skin!
Most of my acne is hormonal so in the year+ I have been using lush products I haven’t had much bother with them. I use a salicylic acid cleanser that’s separate to the line, but I use the tea tree water toner, dark angels as an exfoliant x2 a week, and a serum and the vanishing cream moisturiser. I really like mask of magnanimity as well. This is so interesting though. I honestly prefer lush for their bath body and hair products, but there aren’t a lot of options for sustainable packaging and cruelty free skincare products here in Ireland
Celestial broke me out SO BAD. I just returned it a few days ago and I only used the products for 3 weeks before I started breaking out in small cysts along with whiteheads all along my chin. I’m so thankful you posted this because I was wondering what ingredient could’ve pushed my skin over the edge and the almond oil or coco butter could be it! This made my day, you’re amazing and keep doing what you’re doing 💕💕💕
Can you review the Brazilian bum bum cream? It’s $45 at Sephora and it has a cult following. I wonder if it’s something special or it’s just hyped up and overpriced! ❤️❤️
Lulu Love Hyped and overpriced. Smells delicious though.
I truly appreciate you and all the work you put into your channel and in educating us. Although I love lush for their shower and bath products their skincare items have never worked for me. I genuinely look forward to your videos!
wait i thought fragrance was bad for the skin in the long run, can you do a video explain that please I see that you don't mind and even have it in your skin care routine.
Can you please talk shampoos?
I have very doily hair that gets dirty in under 24hrs and suffered from dandruff/scaling for a while but after a lot of research I read about teatree oil and salt mixed into shampoos and have seen some results. I also found help in using aloe Vera gels and such. but I would like to hear more from you about the topic.
How can I deal with crazy oily hair and skin?
Is the inevitable shampoo/ dry shampoo making it worse?
Tips for ingredients to look out for in drugstore shampoos?
Natural remedies or masks?
Have you tried a sulfate free shampoo?
Demi Boonzaier sadly I live where I don't get that many options other than drugstore but I will look into it
Maybe you overwash. I used to have hair that got oily super quickly but at the same time my scalp was very dry. Turned out I washed too often and my shampoo really stripped my hair of the natural oils. Try a nourishing shampoo, if possible a more natural brand. And for the dandruff do an apple cider vinegar rinse. It helps to get the ph-level of the scalp back to normal. Started to do this 3 months back, not a flake of dandruff since :)
For the oily skin, I recommend adding more hydration. If your cleanser is foaming or is one of those acne washes, stop using them as they might dry / dehydrate your skin and make it worse. Also check your products for isopropyl or denatured alcohol (lots of toners and micellar water contain them but also some face masks)
Try a cream cleanser and then products with glycerin and hyaluronic acid for the hydrating effect (your skin is most likely dehydrated and over produces sebum. In the evenings a good oil cleanser or even a good face oil can really help (Jojoba and sqalane are both oils very close to your skin's own sebum and can help balancing)
Thanks Kenna! I would love to know your thoughts on the Ultrabland cleanser 🙏
I have really sensitive skin and my skin can’t cope with the fragrances and other irritants.
Just wondering about how citrus stuff means you should use sunscreen- what about limonene? Since it comes from citrus fruit peel
I would love it if you could talk about bath bombs. I’m always wondering if they are really safe to use and if their a difference in quality between “ luxury brands” and ones you could get at target!
Can you do a review on the body shops products?
I always wondered if Lush was clinical-like able to target certain things. Thank you for explaining it’s strengths and what to use them for. You are awesome!
Just want to post a warning here. I got a body cream/wash from lush that gave me the worst allergic reaction I have ever gotten. Worse than if I spray myself with a ton of straight perfume. My skin swelled up and it looked like someone had literally whipped me all over my body and it had swelled up... Just because it’s “all natural” does not mean that it’s not incredibly irritating for your skin and can cause horrible reactions and also cause you to develop allergies that you did not have before. I think it is because of the high concentration of flower herbs etc. If you see this Kenna what do you think?
love that you made a video about lush, i have always loved their shampoo bars because it saves me from buying plastic bottles and i have been able to use their dry shampoo for years off of one purchase, i recommend those products to everyone!
Are plant based washing machine "detergents" effective e.g. brands like method, fifth generation, Nelly's. Thank you
How do you feel about PCA Skincare?
Please do a video on the science of evening primrose oil and if we should take it :)
I used to work on the mocrobiology lab where we daily received samples for Listeria, E.coli Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus, that is why I love LUSH! The only difficult to meet the standards was Dark Angel! It doesnt have preservatives so for sure look the stiker of expire day!
Kenna thank you so much for uploading so much! I've really been enjoying your videos :)
Why do all of these products contain fragrance? Wouldn't the natural fragrances of the flowers and citrus ingredients be enough? I'm genuinely curious. I've always been told to avoid fragrance in skin care so it seems odd that Lush would add it to so many of their skincare products.
My favorite lush products are their lotions. Especially for me, who has dry ass skin. Favorite so far is snow fairy or sleepy. They even have soap in the sleepy scent, which I love!
I was hoping you would talk more about the ingredients and their possible effects in this video, so I was a little disappointed that most of the comments only mentioned the feel, size of particles and scent.
Yay! I’ve been waiting for a video about Lush! Thank you for doing this🙏
If you ever purchase from Lush again, give Aqua Marina a try. That stuff transformed my skin. It's exfoliating but it's a bit smoother than Angels on Bare Skin and doesn't smell quite as strong as Let the Good Times Roll.
I never clicked on a video so fast! Can you review Krave Beauty?
Yessssssss!! I hope she does too!
Yes please review Krave Beauty! I love the Great Barrier Relief from Krave Beauty!
The great review aside: I just watched Divergent and you remind me a lot of Shailene Woodley here!
Thank you so much for this review! I started to use ocean salt as a scrub but found it a bit to abrasive so I would melt it in my hands with water to make it work. It leaves you face really soft and moist but it definitely best only for the body.
Thank you so much for your content. Currently pursuing a Biology degree and your videos are very inspiring and give me motivation to keep on track with my studies.
Thank you for making informative videos on the products you have! It's nice to know a chemist perspective
I'm slightly worried that they use parabens, sulfates, EDTA, PEGs etc., and claim those are "safe" ingredients. I like some LUSH products, and not all products contain those substances, but generally I think they should omit them completely.
Hey Kenna I really LOVE you and have been following you for a while, I love all your videos and appreciate knowledge you share with us, I would just like you to break down every ingredient, sometimes I have a feeling you're just reading the label and ingredients and not reviewing any of them...just a friendly tip, no hate 💞
I think that's what I was expecting in this video, so I ended up pretty disappointed. I still learned some interesting information so I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I was just expecting something different I guess.
the mask of magnaminty is an amazing product! its really awesome and have helped me a lot with mt active acne. i also use it topically when i have percictent breakout in an certain area of my face
I was gonna ask about all the fragrance, then I read your comment. Curious about your thought on essential oils. I read so much mixed perspectives on things like lavender and rose. Some say they’re very calming, some say they’re very irritating. I believe you said you were into EOs when you made stuff at home so would love a deep dive on that. Thanks for the awesome content!
Love your content! It’s so nice to get genuine feedback about products from someone who really knows their stuff. I tried lush products awhile back and it didn’t really work for me
What do you think about their packaging free products for the face? I would love to use it to reduce my plastic waste, but I’m unsure about it in terms of hygiene, since you're introducing water and bacteria from your hands to it over time. They say that they use self-preserving ingredients to prevent bacteria, but is that enough? It seems fine to use for your body and hair, but what about on the face?
