Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub Review

Scrub a dub dub! I received a 70g pot of this in the Christmas gift pack, i was excited because I love a good exfoliator, I have dry skin that sometimes gets a bit flakey. So a good exfoliation is always a must.

The idea of having sea salt in it had me in 2 minds firstly it could burn my skin and dry it out more or leave it looking amazing. I know whenever we have been near the sea and I have been swimming in the ocean my skin looks great afterwards.

The black tub is the perfect size for this scrub. With a wide opening easy to scoop out the right amount. The scrub is an awesome colour with it being a mix of white, green and blue. And it is PACKED with sea salt. The texture of it reminds me a lot of creamed butter and sugar. I can get a real citrusy lime scent coming from this scrub and it is so refreshing.

It is easy to apply and scrub a dub dub around your face. But remember to go easy on it as it is so packed with salt I could imagine if you went in guns blazing you could rip the first layer off your skin. I prefer to do this in the shower as the wee bits of salt go everywhere!

Once I wash it off all my worries disappear, my skin looks fresh and clean it didn’t burn or feel rubbed raw also the wee flakey bits of skin had managed to come off. All in all a great scrub for me and my dry skin and would happily repurchase

I love Lush products, but I wouldn't buy this again. That is not to say it is bad or didn't work - rather it was a little to harsh for my liking. I couldn't use this on my face - my skin is rather sensitive - but it did work on my legs. It is a little rough and scratchy to put on but it does leave your skin feeling smooth.

It has a really nice summery, fresh scent and a decent size pottle. It is a little on the pricier side, but you can always ask for a sample before you buy!

The main reason I wouldn't buy this again is simply because I found a Lush product that ends with the same results, but is not as harsh on my skin (the Buffy Bar) and is a little cheaper. This is a great product for those who love intense scrubs - those with sensitive skin, I would give this a miss.

I loved using Lush’s rub dub dub scrub so when I finally opened my eyes, and realised this one had been available all along, with the added benefit of brightening skin, well would I really be a lush addict if I didn’t buy it? Happy to say, I’m can still call myself a lush addict. This product smells amazing, its fresh, citrusy, and salty (it even taste salty… not like I was intending to eat it, but sometimes these things happen when you wash your face). I have to say although I love the smell, I do find it quite similar to the rub dub dub scrub, which isn’t a bad thing. The colour of this is grey-ish green which I know sounds so unappealing, but it really isn’t. It has a rough texture, which I think is because of the sea salt, so it was expected. I use this on dry skin to get a really good scrub, especially for an all over body scrub. However when I use this on my face, I do find it too harsh, so lightly dampen my face so the scrub is more gentle. In saying that, I prefer to use this as an all over body scrub, and use something different for my face. As an all over body scrub, I do like this product. I find it does get rid of dead skin, exfoliate aswell as the added bonus of not drying my skin out, which I thought it would due to the sea salt. Overall, a decent scrub but kinda pricy if its only being used for the body, and I have other scrubs that are cheaper, and do the same thing so for that reason I probably wouldn’t buy this again (unless I can get it on sale).

Unfortunately if you have sensitive skin this may not be the product for you as it contains big pieces of coarse rock salt. I've often heard that salt has really good healing properties and this is true however I found that because of how big the pieces were, it really irritated my skin to the point it felt really sore afterwards. So its not all bad, it smells really really good and I really wanted to like this product but due to my sensitivity, it really does not work on me at all as I find it really sore. I tried to give it a go for a few days but unfortunately it just hurt too much, maybe I was rubbing it too hard, I'm not sure but my skin felt quite raw after using it. They have actually brought out a similar product but for those with sensitive skin, so that one maybe better which is good because I really did like the smell and it was so creamy despite the big pieces.

I had read alot of mixed reviews about this product, but after watching the YouTube presentation of it and after hearing that it smells like a Margarita because of the vodka I just had to try it out.

When I opened it the first time I was blown away with how pretty the blue sea salt was. But I gave it a good mix because it is so much easier to use then.

I only use this once a week sometimes even every two weeks because it is that "hard core"! It gets all the dead skin of your face or body. Yes, it can feel abit rough and harsh on the skin, but add some water and do not rub so hard and you should be fine.

Another thing that I love was the moisturizing properties it has. One would never think that about a scrub/exfoliator , but this does leave you skin feeling fairly moisturized after using it. But saying that I do love adding my daily moisturizer after as an extra boost.

So this is a beautiful scrub. I actually like mine a little abrasive. However, I only use this once every month and another scrub once a week. This clears out my skin and I swear makes my pores look smaller. I follow up with a lovely rich moisturizer and my skin looks amazing. It smells wonderful.

I tried this as a generous sample over the last month and it really does give a nice soft, fresh face and body. I went in and had a consultation with a very helpful staff member at my local store, she recommended I try a couple of products and this was one to be used once a week to help me with my blemish prone skin.

The product is thick and pale green with rock salt throughout, you apply it like you would any other exfoliating scrub by massaging it GENTLY into your skin. I tried it on my face a few times and it burns... like really stings to a point where I wondered if my skin would be red raw after (my guess is the salt and my broken skin but ouch!). I washed it off moments after applying it each time as the burn was something indescribable! I dreaded looking in the mirror but when I did I was pleasantly surprised... not even a bit of redness (so confused by this). My skin was so soft and instantly fresher looking... less dull too.

I tried it on my body as well as my face... no burning or stinging below the jawline so I continued to use it where I felt necessary. Honestly these samples are huge. I would purchase this even with the stinging as it doesn't redden my face and the result was great. Definitely for one a week use and no more though.

This scrub is freaking incredible. I picked it up in the lush boxing day sale and was a little nervous about it because I have sensitive skin.

Boy! I had nothing to worry about. It is an extremely coarse sea salt scrub so you will definitely get a little redness regardless of skin type but personally I had no reaction to it at all and it left my skin feeling like a dream.

I take a decent scoop and rub it on to dry skin - this is important as if your skin is wet it will dissolve the salt quite quickly and you won't get the full effectiveness of the scrub. It does an incredible job of getting rid of dead skin and as long as you gently apply it in circular motions and dont go too overboard then it isn't too harsh.

I think the avocado in this does wonders as it leaves your skin feeling soothed and moisturised which is exactly what you need after exfoliating!

This has become my number one scrub and I recommend you get into it too!

Anyone who knows me knows I love a great scrub. Be it for the body or face, I just love scrubs! This one product ticks both face and body boxes for me.

It comes in the typical Lush scrub pot which I find convenient and practical. The lid screws off easily when you have wet hands.

The actual scrub is packed full of sea salt and you can smell citrus. So, so refreshing. I used it wet on my face as I thought it may be a bit too harsh on dry skin. It left my face feeling silky smooth and really soft.

I tried it dry on my body and found it very effective in removing dead skin. It rinsed off really well and left my skin feeling awesome.

The pot is one of the ones where if you bring back 5 empty and clean ones back to Lush they will give you a free face mask. Such a wonderful company.
