I finally managed to get my hands on this Each a Peach Massage Bar and was unsure as to whether I would like it or not. I am totally spoiled by the Dusk Til Dawn massage bar so wanted to compare it to that.
The bar is quite a nice size and easy to hold which is great. It will last for quite a long time so as to the getting your money's worth, then it is a definite yes.
It is a lovely creamy whitish/yellow colour and doesn't stain when you apply (big plus in my books). It glides on beautifully and melts with your own skin's temperature.
I just massage it in circular movements on the parts of the body that I want and you can start to smell the sweet mellow lemon fragrance. I'm not sure why they call it Each Peach because personally I think it smells like Lemons not Peaches, but that could just be my sense of smell ha ha ha.
It really makes me feel all de-stressed and warm all over. I find I sleep better when I apply it too (major plus). This one also isn't as greasy feeling as other massage bars from their range.
Would I purchase it again? Definitely, however my first love will always be Dusk Til Dawn, this is my new second favourite.
Why did I only give it 4 stars? Because I love my massage bars strong smelling and this was a bit more mellow than I'm used to, but in no way a bad thing.
When I was going to get some Lush Massage Bars a couple years back this was the first bar I wanted to try. I generally like some citrus scents and since I wanted to massage my bf at the time I wanted a more unisex scent. This oval massage bar is quite easy to hold and glide over your skin. It has a fresh lemon scent not as bitter, lemony as Lemony flutter though. I like that with the exception of a couple synthetic ingredients the main one being perfume, it's completely natural. A massage bar is definitely less messy than oil and if you apply an adequate amount you get pretty good slippage for a massage. If your skin is warm it does glide over reasonably well and melt okay on contact. I also found one bar does last a long time despite being only 65 grams. The downside is that as soon as the temperature drops slightly it doesn't melt on your skin well. So in summer it's fine but then you have to store it in the fridge and you have to take it out well ahead of time to warm up unless you want to hold it over a heat source. Since I don't currently give massages at the moment I have been using this on myself after a shower. It does leave my skin pretty soft but because it's meant for a massage of course it doesn't really soak in. Thus the dilemma it melts well in summer but it's a bit too heavy in summer perfect for winter but it doesn't melt or spread well. Because it doesn't melt well it's easy to rub to much on your skin and then when it does melt you're rather greasy. But I guess this is the way massage bars are and I've experienced the same thing with Strawberry Feels Forever, so I guess this probably how Lush's massage bars are. I've been using this of late on my dry bits after a shower like my knees and elbows over my body lotion. But I find it best for breast massage, since well it is a massage bar. Despite the cons I still bought more massage bars from Lush and will continue to get more. I think this is great for giving massage and even if it does cost a bit you will get a lot of use out of it.
Tips: Store in the fridge during summer but during the winter just keep in your room out of sunlight and away from a heat source and it will stay solid. Keeps pretty well in Lush's massage bar tin. If you do choose to use this during the winter, it is easiest to use if you have a heat source handy to hold it over and soften it. It is easy to over apply but the butters do melt so go by feel. Great for massage but the best for summer to use as a body oil as you will feel greasy all over since it is meant as a massage oil but ideal for dry bits like knees and elbows and great if you want to give the girls a massage. Lush does have an annual sale on Boxing Day when a lot of their massage bars go on sale so then is the best time to stock up.
