What the Company claims: Calming calamine wash
Do you remember putting calamine lotion on bug bites as a child? Aqua Marina was made with the same principle in mind; using the soothing pink extract to reduce redness and inflammation in sensitive skin. Those who have a tendency to react to citrus or strong herbal oils will find salvation in Aqua Marina’s gentle aloe vera and moisturizing nori seaweed. Especially cooling on sun burnt faces, Aqua Marina is perfect for normal to dry skin types.
This mineral rich cleanser is packed full of emollient ingredients to soften the skin and clay powders to deep clean and absorb grease. The texture is amazing, the smell is rich and comforting – but most of all it leaves your skin calm, smooth and renewed.

How to use

See how the Aqua Marina is made here..
It comes in a black tub..trademark Lush packaging for cleansers..as the Kaolin and calamine is the base..it has the pinkish hue..and the whole thing being wrapped around with Nori seaweed..you see the green seaweed in between..I love how it smells..I know some people have problem with the smell..but I totally love it..
You need just a pea sized amount..and instead of making a paste..I directly use it on my damp face..a little less messier..
Skin feels baby soft at an instant with this..continued usage also help in getting rid of tan and reducing any redness and evening out the skin.
Pros:
1. Does what it claims..soothes and calms skin.
2. All natural..as all Lush products.
3. Makes skin baby soft with immediate use and helps in getting rid of tan and redness with regular usage.
4. Lasts quiet long..I guess this 100g would easily last 2 months..coz only pea sized amount is needed..though I have heard results vary depending on more or less qty used per usage..to each his own..
5. Kaolin and Calamine are perfect for oily skinned and the Nori seaweed soothes sensitive skin…I am combination and it works well for me..so it would suit all skin types mostly..not dry skin..Angels on Bare Skin is more suited for them.
Cons:
1. Messy to use.
2. Does not remove makeup..its not a ‘cleanser’ type cleanser..if you get it.
3. Shelf life is less.
4. Not available everywhere..but Lush is available online these days..and too the freshest stock..you can buy them here on 365gorgeous and Urbantouch.
I am loving it..and also how baby soft it makes my skin..and immediately soothes it..though hate how messy it is..but I surely want to try more of Lush..Angels on Bare Skin being next..
I totally recommend this for oily- combination skin..or even sensitive skin. This is a must try.
