LUSH Eau Roma Water


When on the hunt for a toner I have one main requirement. NO ALCOHOL. Alcohol belongs in my glass, not on my face. My combination skin does not play well with alcohol. This has an very short ingredients list (lavender water, rose water, linolene, linalool, perfume, methylparaben) in which alcohol appears to be absent so I decided to give it a go.

I bought the 100g bottle which costs £3.75 (larger bottles are available). It’s the first toner I have tried which comes in a spray bottle. It’s handy as the only time I use toner is in the morning to remove excess oil before applying my makeup. This usually happens before second coffee so I am prone to spilling things. You simply spritz this onto a cotton pad, wipe your face and go.

Despite being targeted at normal to dry skin this still does a nice job of refreshing my oily bits without stripping the skin. My face feels clean and refreshed after use. I’m sure you won’t be shocked to learn that this does have a rose scent (no, really?) but it isn’t actually very strong and it fades very quickly.

If you have sensitive skin this might be a good one for you to try. Do bear in mind though that it does contain essential oils which can still irritate some people. My skin happens to find this very soothing and I would definitely consider buying this again!

  2. I love the Tea Tree Water for my oily skin. Definitely not harsh and virtually no smell. I've repurchased it probably 10 times. x
