PRODUCT REVIEW: Lather

Los Angeles, CA - I recently won a competition on Ipsy.com. And I NEVER WIN ANYTHING - so I'm really very excited.
Ipsy is like Birchbox - it's a subscription-based makeup mailorder company that sends you samples of makeup each month for only $10.

In my August bag I really enjoyed the Ultra Mild Facewash by Lather. And guess what?!? I WON a $200 giftbag with a bunch of brand new Lather products.

I've decided to review the prize because I love Lather! I will do this in two installments. Today is the first: 

Ultra Mild Face Wash - this is
perhaps my favorite wash of all time. It smells like its two main ingredients: Lavendar and Aloe. It's also paraben and sulfate-free. I noticed after using this for a week that my skin seemed less bumpy and overall more clean. 

Ultra Light Face Lotion - This face lotion is very light - not greasy. It smells like rose and the scent doesn't dissipate right away so it's actually very relaxing on your face as you're falling asleep or getting ready in the morning. 

Bamboo Silk Foaming Face Scrub with Lemongrass - I w
as most excited to use this product when I got the box in the mail. I love exfoliants and this one really takes the prize. Sometimes scrubs can be extra gritty (think apricot scrub). The texture of grittier scrubs can damage your skin. This scrub is made with very small round beads that do their job of making you fell like you're exfoliating, yet they aren't gritty-enough to rip your face apart. I would call this exfoliant a gentle exfoliant. It also smells amazing (this one of Lemongrass). After I used this my skin TRULY felt softer and I noticed a glow that extended until the next morning. I usually only exfoliate once or twice a week but I think this could be used on a nightly basis. 

Cucumber and Ginseng Facial Mist - This mist feels like a liquid lotion. After one spritz I fell in love with the smell of cucumber and ginseng which calmed my psyche down. The bottle says this spray can be used ALL DAY or as a toner with a cotton ball. I've chosen to use this as a daily pick-me-up. 

You should use these products in this order: 

1) Wash face with Mild Wash

2) Scrub face with a pea-size amount of Bamboo Face Scrub

3) Spray face with Mist (then dab excess with cotton ball)

4) Finish up with the Lotion

I would use all four at night and all accept the scrub in the am
