I had heard so many good things about Rub, rub, rub shower scrub from Lush so of course I had to have it to add to my Lush draw. I was originally drawn in my the smell and the bright blue which reminded me of a tropical island. The citrus, salt and fruity-ish smell left me wanting more!
I have the smaller size pot which I got in a Lush gift pack called 'All the Best' I found it more value for money to get it with a few other Lush goodies. Upon opening in the shower it's very overpowering and almost sickening. I scooped a little at first to see if I liked it on to my skin and was graced with a refreshing hit. It is a light exfoliate which I love using all over my body so of course scooped out bigger amounts to finish the exfoliation. This is where I have trouble continuing to like it though. My skin feels like it has a slippery film all over after use and makes me feel like I have eel slime on my skin.
The smell, although slightly overpowering when you first get it out doesn't last on the skin for very long after use. I felt like I had to have another shower to wash the greasy, slimy feeling off my skin which to me is a total waste of my time and money.
I love that I can take back or reuse the container. I also love the little sticker that say who it is made by and the date they made it. It's so personal and you know they made the product with care. After doing a pros and cons list I have come to the conclusion that I do not like this product on my skin at all. In theory it looked like I needed to have it in my life but upon proper use I find that it's not for me and that it can go forth to a friend who loves it more than I do.
This was one of my first products I brought from lush and I was looking for more of an everyday scrub. The first thing that I was drawn to was the fun bright blue colour and the scent! The scent is quite fresh but could be a bit over powering from smelling it straight from the pot. But I have found that using it and afterwards it is more muted leaving a fresh scent and feeling skin. You can use it on dry skin for a deeper exfoliate or in the shower where you can lather it up and scrub for a more gentler use. It leaves my skin feeling great and I am really loving this product, will definitely repurchase!
Tips: Save your clean container towards your 'return five empties and get a mask free.'
