Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub Review

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 was given a Lush voucher for Christmas so decided to try this little number out after reading online reviews about it.I applied it to my face first and oh my god! talk about harsh! I did not like how rough it felt on my skin so i would not advice using it for the face unless you can tolerate harsh products.I found it very good on my body although a little harsh still but it did leave my skin soft and smooth and the scent was quite refreshing too.Personally I probably wouldn't buy this again as it is quite pricey for what you get and I believe there is better alternatives out there that can do the same job and that are also natural based.

I went into lush looking for a natural exfoliator to replace my old one (it has the little plastic beads and I wanted to be better to the environment). I have very sensitive but dry skin so I need something that will be rough enough to remove all the dead skin but gentle enough that I'm not screaming in pain. I asked the sales assistant what he would recommend. I tried this in store on my hands and it was fine on them but when I used it at home on my face it was much to harsh. I did also try it as a body scrub but even then it was to harsh for me.

This is seriously the best scrub you will ever try, and the best part? Its all natural! Lush is one of my favourite brands because they aren't really expensive and all of their products use natural ingredients! This scrub will not disappoint, I am on my third tub already!

I was given a massive sample size of this product when I went into Lush to look for a new exfoliate. At first I found it harsh as it seem rough on my skin. But afterwards I found my skin felt so soft, clean and smooth and also refreshed. I have found I just need to be a bit more gentle with the way I use it than I have with other products. Its not the nicest smell and taste pretty damn salty as you would expect but the results are worth that.

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

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.

I love this scrub. Twice I have been sent samples that have lasted me more than 2 weeks, and that's because I only use it with my face wash.

The product is white (at least mine is) and has large and small chunks of salt in it. Not so large they're uncomfortable when you rub it on your face, but enough that it gives you a slight exfoliation before disappearing down the drain.

It doesn't really have a smell that I noticed, probably cos I mix with a face wash, but either way, it does smell fresh. It leaves my skin feeling awesome and for the most part I don't get any pimples. I also haven't noticed it drying my face out, something I have issues with. I really like this stuff and I'll be buying more (but maybe not at $42!)

I bought a small tub of this from the UK lush when I was already doing an order from there. I'd heard quite good things about this and so of course I wanted to give it a go.

This comes in a black tub like other lush products. This format is good as it is quite a thick product, I don't think a squeeze bottle would work out. This has a good long shelf life of over a year and it is self preserving, I'm assuming because of all the salt.

This has an interesting scent. It is very fresh citrus, mainly grapefruit. It smells just like a real grapefruit so with that sour kind of tang. I also feel like I can smell a bit of lemon mixed in there too. I didn't really like it to start with, but it has grown on me now.

I've been using this for about two months now. I have dry skin so I use as directed which is once a week. I use a small sort of finger scoop full. It feels quite coarse, like way coarser then you would think to use on your face. Because it's salt though, you rub it on and it quickly dissolves so I can't really go overboard on scrubbing. You can also use this on your body but I don't as it is expensive! My skin feels soft after using and I do notice my moisteriser goes on smoother too. I also don't experience any extra dryness either, which I was a little worried about with all the salt. I was thinking about increasing my usage to twice a week but I'm not sure if that would be overboard or not!

I've used maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of product in the two months I've used it so this small pot should last me at least 6 months. I feel like that is worth it and I could see myself using this again in the future.
