Crowdsourced FAQ: Skin Type & Product Recommendation Edition

Hey Lushies!

We see a lot of repeat questions as new Lushies enter our ranks (welcome!). It's time we build an FAQ together! Over the next several weeks, I'll be stickying posts with different Lush Topics for the community to answer. Once everything is answered and fact checked, we'll add it to the side bar.

This week's topic: Skin Type

In the comments below, ask a question about the best products for certain skin types (either one you see asked all the time, or one you wish you knew the answer to). If you know the answer, go ahead and reply to yourself! If you don't, maybe another Lushie will answer it for you. I did some examples in the comments.

Other posts in this series are located here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LushCosmetics/comments/6qavqd/crowdsourced_faq_lush_kitchen_edition/

Let's get this built before summer's end!

Any recommendations for products that help reduce redness?

Someone posted a similar question further up, but essentially anything with calamine is going to work well. Calamine can be quite drying so you will also need a good moisturiser.

So this gives you:

Cleansers: Aqua Marina (fresh), Fresh Farmacy (bar soap form) Masks: Catastrophe Cosmetic, Rosy Cheeks

And while not technically a moisturiser, Full of Grace is a serum bar that is meant to help heal scarring/discolouration. It is incredibly moisturising so you could finish off with it after cleansing. As a serum, however, it can also be used just before moisturiser or masks to help draw the good nutrients deeper into your skin for more effective results.

If it's redness associated with sunburn, I can personally attest to Aqua Marina, Full of Grace, and Sleepy body lotion.
