I first tried King of Skin in November last year and it quickly became one of my favourite Lush products. At £5.75 for 75g that disappears rather quickly I try to not go overboard in purchasing King of Skin but I can’t help it; it’s just that good.
When I first used King of Skin I tried it straight after stepping out of the shower but I found it to be a little difficult to use this way. I now only use King of Skin while in the shower and I always apply it right before I step out of the water for the day. I find it absorbs into my skin a lot easier this way.
King of Skin is a little greasy to touch and has a tendency to slip right out of my hands. I think it melts a little faster due to the fact it spends a lot of time lying in the warm water on my shower floor. As soon as King of Skin comes into contact with a bit of heat it begins to melt so it may be an idea to switch off the shower before using this and then rinsing off.
I prefer to use King of Skin when my skin is on the drier side of things. I find Lush Sympathy for the Skin does the job the rest of the time but King of Skin adds a little bit more moisture. I do find King of Skin tends to linger on the skin both scent wise and the overall feel of it. It’s not a huge issue if you’re a fan of the light, almost white chocolate scent and don’t mind being a little slippery but if you prefer to be scent and slick free, King of Skin may not be your thing.
King of Skin is going to remain on my Lush favourites for a long time. It only lasts for around a week of non-stop use before it completely melts away hence why I try to ration my purchases. If you can get past how little you get for your money, you’ll be in for a right treat with King of Skin. I’ve yet to find anything better for really dry skin.
