How to get the most out of your Lush Cleansing Bar

Hi Pretties

Last week I ran out of my favourite cleanser Lush Angels On Bare Skin and I was devastated.  I finally had to venture to my local Lush store on the weekend and even more devastating, they had run out of my precious Angels!


After a few tears and searching for something similar the lovely sales associate gave me a 50g sample of her favourite cleansing bar, Fresh Farmacy.  Coincidentally, I am loving this stuff.  When I got it home I scratched my head and racked my brain how I could use this in the shower without wasting it all.  After all, it is a soap like product and I didn't want to waste my precious Lush on suds.


I came up with the following idea to really get the most out of the cleansing bar.


If you are a Lush enthusiast, you know when you get a soap or cleansing bar it looks similar to this;



What I did is unwrap the cleansing bar and cut it into smaller pieces.  I then wrapped these in cling wrap to keep any moisture out and keep them as fresh as possible.


After this I took one of these smaller pieces and cut it into smaller pieces again.  About half a centimetre pieces.  I call these my 'day pieces' as you get one or two uses out of pieces this size.

I wasn't quite sure how I could store this in the shower nicely and I remembered I had the old pot from my Angels on Bare skin that I kept for the 'back to Lush' program and I popped these into that. 



A few extra tips!

* Take a piece out of the container before your shower and pop it on top of the lid so you don't put wet hands into the tub

* Store your Lush products out of the bathroom in a dry place to help them keep longer

* You don't need a Lush tub to store your products, a little Clip It or Tupperware container will do the trick.
