Lush - Ultrabland & Angels on bare skin - mnenje / review

Kot uverturo o pomenu čiščenje kože bi te napotila na Dašin neverjetno infomativen blog prispevek o čiščenju kože (KLIK!), in če ga še nisi prebrala - toplo priporočam!

Moj tip kože je - princeska ali bolj natančno: občutljiva, z rozacejo, nagnjena k dermatitisu, mozoljčki, dehidrirana - ampak se rada masti. Aja, imam pa tudi področja s tako suho kožo, da se bo luščila.
Če te Lush ne gane, in bi rada kaj bolj preprostega kar lahko kupiš v vsakem DM-u - priporočam Biobazin nežni čistilni gel in Biobazino micelarno olje. Več infomacij in kratek opis na tej povezavi (KLIK!).
Naj še poudarim - oba Lusheva čistilca uporabljam za čiščenje kože, in ne za odstranjevanje ličil.

Incoming an honest review, but first:
My skin type is - princess. Or in other words: sensitive, with rosacea, prone to outbursts of dermatitis, spoty, dehydrated and oily with patches of dry skin.
I also want to point out that I don't use these cleansers to remove makeup. They are part of my skin care routine, and usually the second step in my two-(sometimes three) step cleansing routine.

Sedaj bom večkrat lahko pomagal mami, saj me je tudi uradno posvojila :)
Now that mommy has officially adopted me, I'm gonna help with the blog more often :)

Če ti ni všeč vonj sivke, potem to ni čistilo zate. Meni diši čudovito, ampak občutljivim nosom bi znal bit vonj premočen. Uporaba ni najbolj preprosta, sam postopek je včasih neprikladen, saj ga moraš zmešati z vodo, preden ga lahko naneseš na obraz. Jaz uživam v tem postopku, ampak verjamem da zaposlenim mamicam, ali pa komu, ki nima veliko časa bo šel ta čistilec na živce.

V posodici dobiš rolado, ki izgleda kot da bi v mivko zamešal koščke sivke. Odščipneš za velikost lešnika te čudne mešanice, dodaš malček vode in zmehčaš v dlani. Nastala bo pasta, ki jo namažeš na obraz, kožo nežno zmasiraš in spereš z vodo. Rezultat je mehka koža, nič ne zateguje in diši lepo.

If you don't like the smell of lavender, skip this one. I like the smell, but I can see this being a bit much for a sensitive nose. Using this cleanser is not really that simple and the process can be a bit messy. You have to mix the cleanser with water, turn it into a paste and then apply it to the face.
I can tell bussy moms and people in a hurry will not appreciate this. But I rather enjoy the ritual.


In the pot you get something that looks like sand mixed with pieces of lavender. You take about a hazelnut size amount of the cleanser, mix it with water in your palm until you get a pase. Wash you face as usual and the result is a soft skin, with no tight feeling.

Mivka + sivka. Ne zares, ampak izgleda že tako.
Mandlji bojo delovali kot izredno nežen površinski piling - primerljiv s občutkom, ko si obraz obrišeš z brisačo. Ni grob, in nikoli nebi priporočila pilingov, ki vsebujejo trde delce.

Če imaš jezen, aktiven izbruh rozaceje in dermatitisa bi tekstura čistilca znala v tem primeru še dodatno jeziti kožo (če imaš tak izbruh - beri dalje tu (KLIK!)).
Moja koža ga zelo lepo sprejme - pomiri majhne mozoljčke, uživam v večernem ritualu in v vonju.

The almonds will work as a gentle peeling, but this is comparable to the peeling you get when you dry your face with a towel. I would never advise using a mechanical peeling with hard particles.
If however you have an active, angry outburst of dermatitis - this might still be too much.

Caroline Hirons ga je priporočila in njena beseda je skoraj zakon pri meni. Njeni nasveti so mi prinesli čisto, lepo kožo, ki je nisem imela odkar sem vstopila v puberteto. Tukaj je povezava na njen blog - toplo priporočam!
Ultrabland je kremni čistilec, izredno bogate, mastne teksture. Nima nekega očitnega vonja, prvič sem imela občutek da si mažem zmehčano maslo na obraz. In mi nič kaj ni bilo všeč. Ampak ko sem čistilo odstranila in se dotaknila obraza - super mehka! Zdaj komaj čakam, kdaj si bom spet lahko šla obraz umit :)

Ta čistilec bo razbil še tako močno vodo-odporno maskaro, puder ali vodo-odporno sončno kremo. Uporabljam ga tudi za masažo obraza v večernih urah. Iz posodice vzamem za velikost lešnika čistilca, si ga vmasiram v kožo, in potem se grem tuširam in pustim da "sedi" na mojem obrazu še nekaj minut. Vse tisto olje in med super nahranita kožo!


Caroline Hirons recommended this, and her word is law around these parts. She helped me get nice, clear skin - skin which I did not have since I came into puberty. Here is the link to her blog - go read it, and you can thank me later! :)
Getting back to Ultrabland. This is a cream cleanser that has a very rich, oily texture. It smells of nothing in particular, to be honest. When I first tried it, it felt like I was spreading soft butter on my skin - and I did not like it one bit. But then when I finished cleansing my skin and touched my face -  my skin felt incredible! Soft, plump, nourished....Now I can't wait to use it :)


This cleanser will break down even the most long-wearing, waterproof mascara, foundation and sunscreen. I take about a hazelnut size amount of this, massage it in my skin, leave it there, take a shower and then towel it off. All that oil and honey are super nourishing!



V trgovini so mi rekli, da ga lahko odstraniš z vodo. Ne. Žal, ne gre ga odstraniti z vodo. Prva sestavina na seznamu je olje, tretja je vosek. Odstraniš ga lahko:
-  fizično (s papirnato brisačko, bombažno vatko ali pa mokro brisačo).
- s pomočjo kakega drugega čistila.

Ultrabland je po mojem mnenju super za vse, ki :
- imajo res suho, dehidrirano kožo,
- za občutljivo kožo, ki jo zateguje po čiščenju
- hočejo hranljivo masko obraz
- si želijo narediti masažo obraza pred čiščenjem.

Pomisleki: Če imaš akne, mozolje ali pa res mastno kožo - lahko ravno tako uporabiš ta čistilec, ampak samo če boš potem ostanke res skrbno odstranila še s kakim nežnim gelom.

In the store they said that you can remove Ultrabland just by rinsing with water. Umm, NO. I'm sorry, but the first ingredient is oil, the third is wax. You can remove it:
- physically (with a paper tower, a cloth or a cotton pad),
- or with the help on another cleanser. 

I think that Ultrabland is a great cleanser for:
- people with really dry, dehydrated skin,

- sensitive skin that experiences that tight feeling after cleansing,
- someone who wants a nourishing, rich mask,
- someone who enjoys face massages before cleansing.

An afterthought: If you have acne, spots or really oily skin - I think this will still work nicely for you, but I do think you'll need to follow up with a second cleanser.
