Get the Skinny on Skinimalism

The minimalist movement has moved to skincare and makeup and it’s being called skinimalism. The philosophy focuses on beauty routines that use minimal products and simple ingredients for a natural, glowing look, which is what we’re all about at Lush! From super natural, fresh ingredients, to making products that multi-task and using minimal to no packaging, we’ve got some beautiful options if you’re looking to simplify your routine to a few staple products.

Zero waste

We’re big fans of minimalism when it comes to packaging. As you’re probably aware, we offer many of our products completely naked to avoid it altogether! Scrubee Body Butter is not only a busy multi-tasking bee, it also comes packaging-free. Full of softening cocoa and shea butters to moisturize skin, and ground almonds to buff, you use this in the shower to moisturize and exfoliate in one honey-toffee scented step.

"I do solemnly swear to purchase this little bee scrubber for the rest of my life. It does everything! Perfect for those who do not have time to lube up their body with moisturizer after showering, the natural exfoliation and natural smell and ingredients top the cake! Please do not stop creating these little miracle workers!" – Natalie, Asheville, NC

No packaging and it buffs and moisturizes? Scrubee couldn’t bee more of a multi-tasker.

Simplified skincare

Cleanse, moisturize and massage in one wonderful step with our cult classic Ultrabland Facial Cleanser. It’s a soft, rich emulsion of almond oil, rose water, beeswax and honey that you massage into skin to gently and thoroughly remove makeup and daily grime. Ultrabland leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated, so you can use this as a one-step product. Don’t just take it from us, here’s what a fan has to say:

“This product is a multitasker. Not only will it take your makeup off it also deep cleanses the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. I've noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in the appearance of my skin from using Ultrabland... My skin looks like it did when I was in high school!! Youthful, soft, plump.” – JeanieG, Hammond IN

For a light touch of shimmer (plastic-free of course), use our multi-tasking Feeling Younger Skin Tint. Apply it anywhere you’d like to highlight, from cheeks to brow bones, inner eyelids and even your decolletage for a radiant glow. Fans of this product love all the ways it can be used:

“This is so lightweight and little goes a LONG way!! I use it as a highlighter and also as eyeshadow, gives a natural glow!” – Simple Gal, Kawartha Lakes

“I'm use to putting on a full face of concealer + foundation + highlighter, but with this highlighter I don't feel like I need any other products at all, it just adds a really nice, fresh glow to my skin.” – Nadine, Vancouver

Multi-tasking moisturizers

In case you haven’t heard the news, we’ve just invented Repeat Orange Foot Balm, a brand new, intensely moisturizing salve with an unbelievably fresh orange scent. You can use it on heels, toes and anywhere else that needs some extra love. And let’s not forget our much-loved Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter, a multi-tasking favorite for hands and body. It’s an ultra-thick skin salve that saves not only cuticles, but tough, dry skin all over the body; from heels to elbows and knees. Here’s what our customers say:

“It's so much more than a cuticle cream! I use a bit on the rough, cracked areas of my feet and hands. It's wonderful. And I love the clean, lemon scent. It's helped to get me through a rough winter. Thank you Lush.” – Claudia, Chicago, IL on Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

“I suffer with dry skin everywhere, so granted my feet are the worst. One application and I could feel it sinking in and softening my feet… I’m definitely going to try this on my knees and elbows too.” – KerryCherry, Suffolk on Repeat Orange Foot Balm
