Skin's Shangri La

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

Skin's Shangri La is the best moisturizer I've ever used-and I've used many (especially 'hypo-allergenic' and the like brands for sensitive skin-only for my skin to be extra irritated)! My skin is really sensitive, dry, and generally never satisfied-I think it was really just waiting to meet Skin's Shangri La! I apply Skin's Shangri La after using Ultrabland every night before bed only for my skin to feel moisture that lasts through the night, is soft 24 hours a day, and feels smoother and less dry/flaky. This is definitely a thicker, heavier moisturizer, and like all of Lush's products a little bit goes a long way and when something feels greasy you'll know you've used too much, so remember to use sparingly (you can always add more if you need it). I can't imagine my life or my skin without Skin Shangri La and I don't plan on finding out!

I have sensitive skin and when I used the ocean salt scrub on my face the area around my eyes swelled up and were very red...for 2 months! Nothing I tried would make the swelling and redness go away. Then I went to visit my mom (who also uses LUSH) and I asked if I could try her Skin's Shangri La. The swelling and redness were completely gone the next day! My skin also felt very soft and even. I used to use Skin Drink exclusively (and still love it) but I've been using Shangri La ever since and have never been disappointed. Thank you LUSH!

If I could only have 1 product from Lush, this is it!! I am 23 years old with dry skin on my face (especially in the winter), this moisturizer is a miracle worker on my skin! I use this immediately after cleansing my face with my sonic facial cleanser. I pat my face dry and apply a very small amount of this product all over my face and neck. A little goes a very long way, and it smells great too! I would recommend this to anyone who has skin that's dry and needs a boost. My makeup applies so much better now too, I've been getting so many compliments since I started using this product with people saying how my face is glowing now all thanks to this product! I can't recommend Skin's Shangri La enough!

I've been having problems with extremely dry facial skin and have tried every products on the market, but this facial cream has done the trick within 24 hours. I'm new to Lush products and I plan to begin using thier shampoo's, conditioner's, body creams, and anything else used in my body care that needs replacing. After looking at the company and learning the ethical/moral stand they are taking on my issues, I'm more than willing to do my business with them! Your products are great, keep up the good job!!!

This is my go-to fall/winter moisturizer for nighttime use. I have combination skin with a standard-issue t-zone. Imperialis is a great cold-weather, day-time partner for this moisturizer if you have this skin type.

I am 30 and have been using this off and on since I was 26. People think I'm 24-25. I have a small scar above one eyebrow; it visibly retreats whenever I begin my seasonal application of this product (the only thing that ever worked as well was Paradise Regained - but alas! That is lost.).

I have stopped using eye cream due to this moisturizer. A few dabs of it in the under eye area on dry skin works as well or better as any eye cream I have ever tried (and I've tried lots!).

I love the smell; it is pleasant, and since I have used it most winters for a few years now, it also reminds me that I can lovingly and in luxe fashion take care of myself during these dark, cold days. With the smell and the creamy feel, I feel like I'm pampering myself. It makes me feel happy and capable of taking care of me (I have SAD).

This product can be difficult to spread across your face without pulling on your skin; it it also easy to over-apply trying to get your whole face covered. I usually pair it with Breath of Fresh Air, or lavender hydrosol or rose water (from my co-op).

When toner is unavailable: place tiny dabs on your cheeks, chin, nose (even if you're prone to oiliness on your nose - experiment with a dab there; feeding you skin can stop it from overproducing the oil you don't want), and forehead. Let the dabs sit for a few minutes. The temperature of your skin will melt the butters and make the product easier to spread.

Used with toner or on the dab system - this easily lasts from November to March.

I used Enzymion in the summer but was looking for something a bit heavier for the colder months. I was given a sample of this by the lovely girls at my local Lush. It's definitely too heavy for me for during the day. It leaves my skin feeling a bit too greasy. But for a night cream, I love it. It's soothing and has a lovely nutty smell. It takes away redness overnight and makes my skin feel soft and rejuvinated.

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

I used this in combo with 9-5. Soaps tend to dry out my face and I overcompensate by spackling on moisturizer. I definately come from the school of " more is good" but its actually "less is more" when it comes to shangri la. first time I used it I just dabbed about 4-6 "dots" all around my face and rubbed it in after cleansing with 9-5. The next morning my skin felt amazing!! I usually wake up with dry patches all around my mouth and on my cheeks, but shangri la gave me the moisture I needed without having to pile it on and make my face a greaseball. I love the herby medicinal scent too!

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

I started out with Skin Drink and it was good, maybe better for winter. Then I got a sample of this. I put it on last night over my full of grace and when I woke up this morning I could not believe what I saw in the mirror my skin looked better than it has looked in YEARS. I am sold! Is it pricey? Yes. But you are paying for the best money can buy and let me tell you I have spent tons of money on product that don't even come close to comparing to this! Get it! You will not regret it! And if you are unsure, then go into the store get a sample but consider this your fair warning you will be hooked.
WAY TO GO LUSH!!!

I use this every night and I am in love! I have super dry skin and this is the only product I have ever used that keeps my skin feeling hydrated. Seriously, I can put this on before bed and when I wake up, my face will feel just as soft and moisturized as it did when I first put it on. It also has a nice brightening effect and works well to even out my skin tone. I have quite a bit of sun damage that has resulted from swimming in my parents pool when I was younger without sunscreen and this cream has reduced it quite a bit. The results alone are enough to make me repurchase this, but the nice vanilla smell is a welcomed bonus!

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

Given that most people think I'm 21 - 23 years old, I'd like to maintain my running start on a youthful appearance (I'm 33). A LUSH associate suggested this to me as I was looking for a heavy night cream which would reduce fine lines.

After using this product for a few weeks, I can say that it does minimize the appearance of under-eye bagginess. Additionally, my skin was more hydrated than usual. Not too sure about line reduction, but several frown lines seemed to be smaller.

I also experienced a bit of a nasty sunburn recently, and this cream was outstanding in reducing burning and healing minor skin aggravations/peeling.

Unfortunately, unless you have a very light touch, this cream may be too heavy for summertime use. While it's not too greasy on its own, it can easily become sticky and almost tacky on the skin unless it's blended very well. And even then, when the thermometer hits above 90 degrees, I only use this around my eyes.

The smell is quite mild, a nutty medicinal scent that's faintly green. The vanilla component is very slight.

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

I absolutely LOVE this moisturizer for my sensitive, acneic skin! The one thing I hate about it? THE SMELL. Oh my goodness, it is dreadful. I usually like herbally smells but this is just bad! If it wasn't for the amazing things this moisturizer did for my skin, I would not be able to stand the smell. I like very thick, hydrating moisturizers to use at night. This is definitely one of my holy grail items for this purpose. It takes any other product I put on my skin and helps it penetrate deep into my skin. I absolutely love it, other than the smell. I know it is a bit pricey, but a little bit goes a long way and it will last you quite a while. Highly recommended

I use this after cleansing my face and neck at night as a night cream. I also use under my make-up as a daytime moisturizer. I love it!!

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

This is the best smelling and most effective moisturizer I've ever used. I was hesitant to buy it at first because of the price, but once I got home, I figured I only needed a little bit every time. A little really goes a long way because this cream is very rich. If you use too much, it will get greasy. I like to use this at night and I use a lighter moisturizer during the day. I can't stop touching my face after I apply this! Well done, Lush!

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

I have been using this product in combination with 9 to 5 and eau de roma religiously the past couple of months and it's like I have totally new skin. I had terrible dry patches on part of my face and then large pores and blackheads elsewhere-- a real nightmare. My skin was beginning to affect my self-esteem and then I splurged and bought all three of the above. I cannot thank you enough for the results. My skin is clear now, no scaly or itchiness, my pores are smaller and blackheads are greatly reduced. I must tell you I will be 55 in July and one of my younger male co-workers guessed my age at 42 today! He couldn't believe it. Talk about making my day! Thank you, LUSH, for turning my skin around when I thought there was absolutely no hope. No matter what the cost, these products are worth every penny to me.

This Is like desert for the face! This belly dancer loves this product and want it with me every where I go. But I travel a lot and take small containers since I dont want to take my year's supply of face cream every where I go.. I would love to have some one week mini pots of shangri-la to travel with. I just don't want to travel without it!

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

The texture is incredibly thick. For people that need a huge dose of hydration due to extremely dry skin, this would be perfct. However, my skin didn't absorb it well at all. In fact, it took forever for the small amount I applied to soak in, leaving my face looking oily and feeling sticky.

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

When shopping for cosmetics, I generally look for a great deal on a great brand, so when a friend recommended ShangriLa at [$] a container, I was more than a little hesitant. ...then I tried it. I have combination skin, leaning to the dry side. In the winter I get a really really dry flaky patch between my lips and nose (not snot related, thanks for the thought). Other moisturizers didn't do the trick. Shangrila is the ONLY thing that has worked. I use it at morning and at night. A tiny dab. Then I also started blending a bit of it with my foundation, making a tinted moisturizer. My skin condition has noticeably improved since I started doing that. This last tub has taken me a YEAR AND A HALF to get through, though I expect with the discovery of DIY tinted moisturizer, this next one will go faster. I guess what I'm saying is... it's worth every penny of the [$] to buy ONE thing that WORKS, rather than spending $20 each on six things that don't.

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

I am in love with Skin Shangri La. I hate that Lush markets this moisturizer for "Mature Skin" but I believe that anyone can easily use it. Try this moisturizer for two weeks and you'll see what I'm saying. MIRACLE.

Comments about Skin's Shangri La Moisturizer:

This lovely moisturizer has become a staple in might nightly beauty routine. Everything from the wonderful smell to the results I had hoped for has made me love it so very much. I have combination skin and it's such a pain to find a night cream that will give me moisture but not leave me with a greasy face in the morning. I'm in my mid 20's so I was a little put off by trying a cream for "older skin." I was also worried that I'd be too heavy. But when the nice sales associate showed me how nice it was I fell in love! I say that this is for anyone who really wants to pamper their skin. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and have already noticed a brighter complexion, no more flaking of dry skin, and a more even skin tone. A little goes a long way so it's definitely a great value :)
