great for cellulite!
I love this sugar scrub bar from Lush! It works really well, I just wish it were bigger. It's great for exfoliating and I noticed a big difference in the amount of cellulite on my legs after prolonged use. really great product!
Smells good but abrasive
Lush's sugar scrub looks pretty and smells fantastic, but the ingredients affect the skin quite harshly. The scrubbing particles ensure a good clean, but the abrasiveness irritated the skin. The product also disintegrates quickly. It went from a solid mass to a handful of sand. I think I'll just stick to bar soap or liquid body wash.
This scrub definitely exfoliates, but it's pretty rough and painful. It's very abrasive and has left little scratches on my skin before. It works well on tougher areas though, like your heels.
I bought the sugar scrub for myself for Easter. It definitely scrubs but doesn't last very long as once it's wet it starts detiorating quickly (even when not in use it's falling apart) and it also left large scratches all over my arms and legs. I definitely wouldn't buy again.
I love using this all over my body and I love how it doesn't dry out my skin as it's make with sugar, not salt.
I suffer from very dry flaky skin and had all but given up hope of finding something other than my homemade body scrubs but this product has been a lifesaver. After using it I never feel raw but I do feel wonderful.
Pros
This product is not harsh at all. I can scrub all day and never feel raw or sore. It does not take much pressure to use this product
The smell (like pretty much everything else at LUSH) is amazing and never overpowering.
It fits well in the hand.
Cons
I left my first one on the shelf in the shower so of course I only got the one use out of it before it was gone. Please be smarter than I was and remember to never leave it in the shower after use.
My overall feeling on this is that I hope it will be available for a long time to come. It travels well and is very affordable. I usually break it up a bit before using though so I can get more use out of it but this isn't necessary to get your moneys worth out of it.
I adore the yummy lavender and herbs scent of the scrub. Since I am frugal, I cut this sugar scrub into 2-3 pieces. Next, I wet my skin then rub the scrub bar on my elbows and legs. It is an invigorating scrub that leaves my skin super smooth, hydrated, and bright. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky. Thankfully, the scrub doesn't dye the skin green or leave of tint of colour.
This is a great exfoliant. I cut it in half as I like to use it to exfoliate my whole body and use it about once every two weeks. If you (like me) get lazy and put off shaving your legs for a few days at a time, this is great to use on your legs before shaving again to make sure you have a close shave/ no ingrown hairs. My skin feels so soft after using, and I suggest you moisturize your whole body RIGHT when you get out of the shower for optimal results.
A new Lush product? I'm there! Half the size of an average bath bomb, is meant to help exfoliate and soften skin. Fennel, ginger, and lavender smell great together.
What to do: cut up into quarters. You will only require about a quarter for your legs or arms. Only take in what you plan on using. Take quarter and start crushing in your hand (I found crushing it in a plastic bag much easier) and start using. At first, I didn't quite crush it up enough, and it felt as though I was rubbing glass against my skin. Not good. Once I actually had a decent 'powder' it went much smoother for me. Afterward, my arms and legs were ridiculously smooth. As for cellulite? Maybe you have to use it more often to see those effects.
Note: Do not put entire Sugar Scrub in the shower, as it will start to dissolve almost immediately.
