Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub Review

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!

I like the smell of this, really smells like the sea, but the lemon scent is a tad overpowering..

I liked how it worked at first made my makeup really nice to apply, but after about an hour prior to scrubbing my face started to hurt and turn red. Moisteriser helped a little though.

It's not too bad on your body as an exfoliant, if done lightly but I wouldn't use it on my face again.

I'm really not 100% sure if I would actually repurchase this because of how abbrasive it actually is.

Let me start by saying this honestly smells amazing. The lemon is like seriously overpowering, but super delicious smelling.

I've used my whole pot of this and I'm still not sure whether I'd buy another one.

I have dry skin, and it's really patchy sometimes which cause my foundation to look really cakey, so I tried a whole lot of exfoliators, rosehip oils, moisturisers, etc. and I still don't see the results I want.

Anyways, this is a harsh enough scrub, but I find it dissolves so easily, too easily when you use it and it doesn't give that nice scrubby effect. I'm not sure if it will work better on dry skin as I've only ever used it on wet skin, but it's too gentle in the regard that it dissolves so easily.

I love the smell, as I already said :P and it feels heavenly on your skin. It feels as if it has scrubbed your dead skin off, but then when I apply makeup afterwards it doesn't feel like it has worked.

It's really expensive, so I doubt that I'll buy it again.

Although I found this product made my skin feel smooth (for a short while) it was too abrasive for my skin and after about an hour of using it my face was red and raw and irritated. I found it really nice as a body scrub when applied lightly. I recommend it for a once every two weeks kind of thing and only very lightly!

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.

This scrub smells like the sea. It's really sweet to look at too! I was really hoping that I would love this after seeing all the great reviews but for someone with averagely sensitive skin, it was just far too harsh. The salt bits were not uniform on the edges which meant some bits were really sharp and abrasive. I LOVE lush's other scrubs but unfortunately, this one wasn't for me.
