I rarely find LUSH products that does not work for me but this is one of them.
I was very excited and keen to try this sugar scrub out, and as soon as I got home I gave it ago in the shower.
It was abit crumbly but it is sugar so it was expected. But what I did not expect was how harsh and rough it was on the skin. I only did my arms and then gave up . I was thinking maybe I was putting to much pressure on so I was going to try it again next time I had a shower.
But to my disappointment, the whole thing had melted by the next day. Even tho I had left it to dry, I had green sugar water left. Not cool at all.
If there was a better way to store it so it wouldn't melt and if it wasn't so rough I would definitely give it another go but for now its a nope.
In the past month or two, I have gone from a Lush Virgin, to a Lush addict. And the sugar scrub from lush is one of the new products I have added to my collection.
The sugar scrub comes in a half circle dome, and is a green in colour. The scrub is a decent size and fits really well in my hand, making it easy to hold in the bath/shower and the texture. I have to admit I really like the texture and the graininess of this product. It is advertised as a sugar scrub, and that’s exactly what it is, it gentle enough of skin, but it gets the job done with a nice, large sugar granules.
I have to say, after using this scrub, my skin felt like butter. It was so smooth and felt so good without being hard and damaging or hurting my skin. I haven’t noticed a change in my cellulite, but I don’t have much cellulite so maybe that’s why?
One negative about this product is that it can’t get wet. This might seem reasonable, but really if you’re having a shower or a bath, the idea that a slip of the hand will make you watch as you sugar scrub dissolves in front of you and gets washed done the drain is so unappealing to me. Unfortunately, even if this scrub doesn’t get left under running water, even if it just gets a little wet from the water off your skin, or if some water trickles down your arms and gets to the scrub, it starts dissolving which sucks because it is extremely unrealistic for a product to not get a touch of water of it when it’s a shower/bath product and for this reason I find it very unappealing to repurchase this product, even though it makes my skin feel great. Additionally, after i used this scrub and it got slightly wet (from the water from my skin), i put it into a container to keep it safe and fresh. When i next went to use it, it had turned into a pile of mush. Although it was still usable, it was really dissapointing. Especially because the only water this scrub has absorbed was the water off my skin.. which should be expected!
