skin lifesaver♡

Today I'm doing a review on a 'skin lifesaver' called the Grease Lightning spot treatment from Lush. I had heard a lot about this little bottle and as it promised to get rid of spots I really couldn't refuse. 

I popped into Lush and bought this around July time after some annoying breakouts on my skin. It retails for £6.25 which is a payable price compared to some high-end spot treatments I have heard of. It's a 45g bottle with a small pump that pumps out a pea-sized amount every time. It's not an overnight miracle treatment - it does take some time to work, especially on angry spots but overtime I could really see the difference in my skin and its a lifesaver if you suffer from teenage spots or acne.

Lush description: Grease Lightning is a powerful combination of ingredients that will nip any breakouts in the bud without upsetting the skin around them. We use an infusion of antibacterial and antiseptic rosemary, thyme and tea tree as well as antioxidant-rich  grape juice and witch hazel which is astringent and anti-inflammatory and is said to remove redness. This product is ideally applied when you feel a spot is about to erupt - prevention is better than cure.

As soon as I tried it I could see results and after about a week my spots were nearly gone! I apply it on my chin area and any spots that are beginning to show up on my skin just before I go to bed after my evening skin care. You can directly apply it to the spot or around the whole area. It contains tea tree oil which is really recommended for acne prone skin as its meant to act as a solvent and clean through any dirt and clogged pores, then it helps to kill the acne-causing bacteria and stop any further outbreaks. It also contains witch hazel which is meant to be a natural anti-bacterial, soothes and reduces any further breakouts as well as healing other spots. It's main scent is tea tree oil which isn't overpowering. 

It comes in a light gel consistency. I think this is so perfect for teenage skin or acne-prone skin. Sometimes spot treatments can make your spots irritated and sore but this is a soothing treatment and doesn't hurt at all. It's also not drying either. 

Toodle-pip!
