DIY LUSH Coalface

March 30, 2017 by Shellie Wilson 1 Comment

This tutorial shows you how to make your own DIY coal or charcoal face scrub which is somewhat identical to the very famous LUSH Coalface.

What you will need:

1/2 cup of Coconut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons of Activated Charcoal powder
1 tbs of Baking powder

Mix all the ingredients together to form a thick paste. Add a little extra coconut oil if your mix is too dry and crumbly, if it is too wet add more Baking soda.

If you are using this as a Detox mask leave it on for 15-20 mins before rinsing with warm water.

If you are using it as a wash then use a small amount of product in the palm of your hand and mix with hot running water. Rub on to face and then rinse.

Lush is a cosmetics giant with some interesting LUSH facts – One of Lush’s 6 co-founders, Mo Constantine, apparently invented the world’s first bath bomb in 1989.  Lush has been questioned of its overuse of glitter, which is now very unpopular with environmental groups but did you know the glitter used in Lush products are PET free – They state that they use food grade lustres and seaweed-based glitters.

There are 900 stores worldwide in 49 countries, 250 of which are in the USA, that is a lot of product to be made. Did you know all their products are handmade in Poole England?  Their products are 100% vegetarian, 85% vegan, against animal testing and completely handmade.

Lush are also pretty strict on their copyright rules, so make sure if you are making your own lush copies or hacks be sure to choose an original name and add a little touch of your own to make them unique.

    please make sure you specify that it is baking soda and not powder! baking powder is not good for skin

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
