I've been wanting to try out one of the fresh face masks, but I'm unsure which one to get. I'm 24, I've got combination skin with a few spots and I also suffer from slight psoriasis. I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some recommendations :)

I LOVE lush face masks - for your skin I would probably recommend the catstrophe cosmetic. It's a lovely purple color and has yummy antioxidants from blueberries and soothing calamine powder - which is probably why the mask is purple!
unfortunatly you cant get these masks online so you have to go to a store for them.. the folks at the store are usually pretty nice about giving out samples so you can try a few masks before you settle on one...
good luch!

Thank you! I'm lucky enough to live right behind a Lush shop (in France) so there's no problem getting them. I asked a SA for a sample and after some thought she gave me a whole pot of Brazened Honey for free because it was nearing the expiration date :) I've tried it out and it's super nice, but I'll definitely try out your recommendation next.

I second this recommendation. I have combination skin and this one works wonders! You also might want to check out Mask of Magnaminty. I use this on a regular basis and I really like it. (Plus, this one has a longer shelf life!! and is the same price as Catastrophe Cosmetic). Lucky you.. living so close to a shop!

I also agree you should try Catastrophe cosmetic. It cleanses nicely, but leaves my skin moisturized afterwards, the more exfoliating masks tend to dry me out too much sometimes.

I find the best deep-cleaning one is Cupcake, plus is smells choclatey and minty too, but it might not be suitable for your psoriosis or for sensitive skin. I find the best alternative to Cupcake (they seem to sell of this quickly and often i've gone in a store and had to choose another) is Love Lettuce, which smells lovely and fresh with a hint of lavender, and it's not only deep cleaning but it's also more suitable for sensitive skins. The lavender is really balancing for your skin.

Can you get these face masks on the website? The Cupcake sounds great, and I'd love to try it, but I can't find it on the site. We have a Lush store coming here. I've been waiting for it to open for months...but it's taking forever.

It sounds like you have similar skin to me, I also like Cupcake. It's great for cleaning out the pores to prevent spots, doesn't dry out my skin, and smells yummy too!

I finally tried some bio-fresh masks. the one I really liked is the Brazened Honey mask. I love the scent and the scrubbies in it. I also did a good job of cleaning out my pores. I have also tried Love Lettuce, which was pretty good as well. It left my skin kind of moisturized but not too much.

Hmm...I would recommend Wow Wow (if your store still has it, as I think it's being discontinued?), as that helps to kill acne bacteria. All the masks are very moisturizing, so if you just want something to soothe, I would recommend Sacred Truth (which has rose and lavender in it) or maybe Catastrophe Cosmetic. BB Seaweed is good if you need somewhat of a scrub, but if you have slight psoriasis, then Love Lettuce might be a little too scrubby and irritating for you (although it does have lavender).
I hope I didn't confuse you! Definitely do try to ask an SA in the store.

How did you like the brazened honey? It's the only one I haven't tried, and I think I might like to...
