I was surprised by the consistency as, although it looks particularly salty on top, it's more of a thick cream beneath the surface. Despite having lime and grapefruit as key ingredients, the scent I picked up on the most was avocado, which is used to nourish the skin. Beware that this product also contains vodka! I wouldn't recommend eating it though... You can also buy an alcohol-free, slightly cheaper, variety though, which is fantastic. You've got to hand it to Lush- they're amazing at catering to their customers*!
After using it on my body in the shower, and finding it left my skin perfectly moisturised and exfoliated, I thought I would try it on my face too. This proved a bit more problematic as I found it difficult to wash off properly and was left with salt around my hairline. I also managed to get some in my mouth and, believe me, it doesn't taste that good.
Although it did leave my face smooth, and I'll no doubt use it as a facial product again, I definitely preferred using it on my body since it's so much easier to wash off! Now I think I need to try all of Lush's salt-based products!
*In fact, I just found out there are FOUR varieties of the same product: Ocean Salt, Ocean Salt Alcohol Free, Ocean Salt Self Preserving AND Ocean Salt Self Preserving Alcohol Free. Lush, you astound me!
I love lush, I might have to give this a try! x

I love lush but actually never tried that one, I tend to go for more gentle exfoliants because I feel like the salt might be too abrasive.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the avocado butter in this because I always find using scrubs dry out my face- but I need them to get rid of the dry bits! I'll probably just use it in the shower where I can shove my face under the running water to avoid salty hair haha :)

Used this myself, definitely the best!
ReplyDeleteI never find the face/body combination products do that well, especially for the face. But I do love avocado so I may be sold on this!

I need to invest in a good old scrub and I love Lush. This sounds like a lovely product to try and I'm amazed by the options!

I used to use this a few years ago and you're right, it really doesn't taste nice! It can be a little rough but if you go gently it's nice to use on the face. I don't think when I used it they promoted it as for the body as well (I may be wrong but I don't remember seeing it on the pot) so I'd be interested to try it like that as well x
