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!
This scrub smells amazing and is an effective dual use scrub. The scent is similar to the famous Lush Sakura bathbomb and solid perfume, and the texture in the pot is like a slurry - not thick and not watery. I tried this on wet skin first and was surprised that is lathered up. It gave a gentle scrub and left my skin smooth and feeling slick. I then tried it dry on my elbows and knees and got a great exfoliation from using a small amount and massaging well before jumping in the shower to rinse off. The scent lingers a little on the skin and a potter lasts well so this product represents good value you for money. I would definitely repurchase
