With approximately 4 out 5 rating on BR, I knew this was another Lush product that I had to try, and it just so happened that I was a hunt for a good body scrub. So when I read the reviews, off I went to go purchase the Lush Rub Rub Rub body gel/scrub. I have to admit, I had less than high hopes for this after my experience with the Lush sugar scrub.
The scrub comes in a little black tub, which is already an improvement on the other Lush’s scrub I had tried. So far so good. Additionally, this tub seals completely in the shower so no water gets in it. Plus it’s another product that is part of Lush’s recycling scheme where if you return 5 containers, you get a free face mask!
This scrub, Well.. its bright blue! And I mean bright, but I love it. I don’t have a lot of experience with scrubs, but looking at this scrub just makes me happy. If shower gels and body scrubs made a baby, rub rub rub is exactly what that baby would be. It’s the perfect mix of shower gel, and body scrub, and such a great consistency. Not too thick, and not too thin. Thick enough to stay on the palm of your hand and to not run through your fingers, but thin enough to be able to use a small amount to cover a large area of skin.
And now to the smell, when you were a young kid, did your parents ever have that yellow soap in their house? I think it was called Sunlight. Well mine did, and that’s exactly what rub rub rub smells like to me. Its clean, its fresh, and it has a citrus pop to it.It is refreshing to use, and is another thing about this product that just makes me feel happy!
So the rub rub rub has a great consistency, and smells amazing. But is it any good? Well yeah, it’s pretty good (and that’s an understatement). As a scrub, it has small exfoliating particles spread throughout the product, which I thought would be quite harsh on my skin, but my skin loves it! Its just perfect, and scrubs my skin enough to make it feel smooth and soft, without it being too harsh. Also, this product does lather a little bit, but nowhere near as much as a regular shower gel, but you still feel as it your skin is getting a bit of a clean as well as a scrub.
So I have to admit, I love to scrub with Lush’s rub rub rub. I love the smell, the consistency, how it makes my skin feel. The only slight negative for me is the price. It’s a product that I want to last a long time, because I can’t afford to buy it often, even though I want to! I would recommend this to all, a shower is so much better with this product!
I got this in a Lush Christmas Pack and I was pleasantly surprised.
This scrub is a vivid, bright blue colour, I assume this is to represent the ocean. The scent is quite strong, considering it's a sea salt scrub.
With the product being salt based many would think that it would dry the skin up, however I never had this problem and found it quite moisturising due to the other ingredients in the scrub.
I didn't find the scrub too harsh, which is sometimes needed for a good skin removal. However, it is a nice everyday scrub compared to Frank. Therefor I think it would work very nice with all ages of skin - younger and old..
I find that this scrub does leave a bit of residue on my skin which I am not a fan of. I like scrubs to dig deep and remove all my bad beauty sins and I find that this doesn't quite get in there for me, and I have to really wash myself thoroughly afterwards to remove the film of residue.
This scrub is definitely not painful to use, as some scrubs can be quite hard and harsh, however I never felt discomfort in using the Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub.
The packaging is in an easy typical black Lush pot, which I actually really appreciate as other scrubs typically come in the brown paper bags, which I find are not shower friendly. So this one can stay in there without a hassle as the tub Is very shower friendly ( and stackable !)
Overall, I love this scrub for a everyday scrub but still love my more harsh scrubs for a deep scrub
