Fresh Farmacy -- How would you recommend I use it?

Lush products are great and I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I haven't used this product in particular but you should always use a moisturizer underneath your eyes as the skin is very delicate and more prone to wrinkles. I would suggest visiting the Lush store and asking them if they will give you a sample of a moisturizer or a toner. They are great about giving samples and will tell you which one will be best for your skin.

Fresh Farmacy was too drying to me, but I tend to have more combination to dry skin to begin with. I use it as a spot treatment, it's great for that. If you have oily skin you can wash with it every day, or you could try alternating with another cleanser like Aqua Marina or Angels on Bare Skin. A full skincare regime is cleanser, toner, moisturizer, so I'd try following it with some tea tree or eau roma water and a moisturizer suited for your skin type. If you're into Lush, Imperialis is a great moisturizer to try first, it works for most skin types. Good luck finding the right routine for you!

I found it a bit too drying when I used it years ago.

okay, so I work at Lush. YAY!

ahem.

what I'll say is for now keep using it as you are. so far it sounds like it's working well. use a lightweight moisturiser, just so that your skin isn't encouraged to make more sebum to make up for it being removed.

it's designed as a facial soap, so it's fine to use.

if you do start to find it a little too drying after time then try using it every other day, and alternating with something like Angels on Bare skin (my favourite, this is what completely cured my acne, in only a matter of a few weeks) or with babyface or ultrabland if your skin doesn't like regular exfoliation.

babyface and ultrabland can seem a bit oilt when you try it, but make sure you remove it with really hot water on a wrung out flannel or cotton wool, and you'll find the heat melts the butters and oils and it comes away easily, leaving the skin feeling moisturised. the oils and butters actually grip the muck in the pores and make it easier to clean.

babyface is cleansing, toning and moisturising all in one.

without knowing more about your skin type it's hard to say which moisturiser would suit you most, but something like Celestial or Ultralight is a nice mid-range moisturiser, not too heavy, not too light. and these are at the less pricey end too.

also, a toner is worth having. I think everyone should try Breath of Fresh Air. it's great on all skin types, and it's really soothing with lots of Aloe and Seaweed in it.

I'm a big fan of Fresh Farmacy. I have acne prone skin (adult acne) and this product has made a great difference for me.
That said, I can absolutely acknolwdege that is can be really drying...for me it's especially drying in the winter. I tend to alternate with Aquamarina. This is a more gentil product....but I'll warn you it's kinda weird stuff:-) It's a pink squishy roll, made of of some really great things like calomine, irish moss and aloe vera. It's wrapped with seaweed, jelly-roll style. Some people aren't that into the smell (though I don't mind it as all). And it takes a little bit to get the hang of using it. I pinch off a little piece, wet it, and then smooth it over my face. I actually like to let it dry like a mask, and then rinse. I follow up with a non-lush moisturizer.
In the summer, when I am super shiny, Fresh farmacy is a must have.

I like Fresh Farmacy for my combination skin. At night, I rotate washing my face with Fresh Farmacy and Lemslip. After I wash, I use Breath of Fresh Air Toner. This helps wash away any remnants of Fresh Farmacy. I follow up using Imperialis to moisturize and I use an eye cream too (Eyecon by Benefit.. I find the Lush eye cream too light). Using this system I haven't had any problems with dryness.

In the morning, I only use Lemslip to wash my face... followed by the Breath of Fresh Air toner and Imperialis. In the summer months, I switch to a lighter moisturizer (Clean and Clear oxygenating moisturizer with spf 15 is a good one).

I hope this helps!

I actually started with Fresh Farmacy thinking that it would be the best for my skin. I gave it about a month, and it actually seemed to make my face a lot worse. I switched to Herbalism and I'm doing much better.

I've used Fresh Farmacy and liked it. I didn't face any drying but I have really oily skin so I guess if you find that you skin feels too tight or dry then you should switch to something else or use a moisturiser (I like the body spray from body shop (the one with brazilian oil) it's very light, personally I've haven't been able to find a really light moisturier by Lush, let me know if you find one!)
