I continue to be more and more impressed by facial skincare from LUSH, a brand I only ever revered for bath and body care. After the sadly limited edition Buche de Noël Solid Cleanser from last Christmas and now this, I’m becoming a bit of a convert to say the least.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a thousand times – I love a good scrub. I like a granule exfoliator that has a high scrub:base ration and this is definitely that with a blend if both fine and coarse sea salt. You may be thinking, “well surely that’s too much scrub?” but no I say! No! It’s just the right amount and doesn’t leave my skin gagging for moisture.

With the salt for exfoliation, it’s balanced with a nourishing and non-congesting base of organic coconut oil and avocado butter, nourishing and conditioning the skin as you go.

There’s also conditioning violet leaf extract and oil-balancing seaweed absolute, adding another treatment element to this black pot of magic.

The smell, oh the smell! You open the lid and get a hit of the sea weaving through the mouth-watering juices of skin-brightening, fresh, organic lime – extracted using Vodka. I found an article on the process here and it sounds delicious. This is then curbed by the slight sweetness of the coconut oil and richness of the avocado butter.

Just throw a generous dollop onto damp skin, massage in slowly and gently (avoiding the eye area) and then rinse off; your skin will feel like porcelain and your moisturiser will sink in like a dream.

At only £6.95 for a 100g tub or £12.95 for a 250g tub, you’re hardly breaking the bank with this and getting a real quality treatment. Check it out here on the LUSH website.
