I do LOVE this product, just not for the use it is intended for, hence the reduced rating.
I have permanently dry skin, from head to toe. I think I was born with zero oils in my skin, so I was rather hopeful when I bought this product. However I used it religiously for the first week and noticed no difference whatsoever.
I was still having to moisturise after my shower, which defeats the purpose entirely. To me, it was just an extra unnecessary step. The Lush sales assistant said it can also be used as a hair treatment, but I already have a hair routine I'm happy with so haven't tried it for that.
The way I've made it work for me is by using it as an under arm shaving cream. I'm telling you, it's amazing! I used to constantly get irritated underarms after shaving but since I began using this 4months ago I have had zero irritation. Nada. Zilch.
I too, in the beginning, was not a fan of the scent, but as time goes on I really don't mind it. An added bonus is that I've still only used half the tub, so I definitely feel like I'm getting my monies worth!
I love using this and it's always a great excuse to stay in the shower longer. It is expensive but you only need a small amount. A lovely soft rose scent that is not artificial or 'granny' smelling. It pairs perfectly with 'Rose Jam' which was a limited edition shower gel for Xmas. I used this, this morning and my skin still feels soft and smells good 12 hours late. So much better than a certain big brand in shower skin conditioner.
Tips: Save your empty pots and get a free face mask when you take five back to Lush.
