Ocean Salt Cleanser By Lush Review | Natural Moisturizing Gentle Face & Body Scrub

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Ocean Salt Cleanser by LUSHI personally love Lush products because all the ingredients are natural and it smells so good. Whenever I walk in to one of the stores I feel like a kid walking into a sweet shop.

Ocean Salt Cleanser By Lush is an all over body scrub containing ocean salt designed to scrub away dirt and dead cells, leaving skin softer and brighter. It should have a lovely violet and lime scent.

Coconut and avocado butter help soften the skin, while lime and grapefruit juices revitalize. Containing acidic fruit juices can sometimes be irritating to people with sensitive skin.

However, while all these ingredients are beneficial when exfoliating, they can be quite drying to the skin. So just to sure to moisturize after.

Users Conclusions

Pros

  • Makes skin as smooth as glass
  • Reduces blemishes (some users found)
  • Spreads well
  • Heavenly scent
  • Worth the price

To Sum Up

Lush's body scrub has proved to be very popular among users, none of them had a bad word to say about it. They liked how it left their skin feeling so smooth and even though it is quite pricey at $18.55- $32.95, although, all the reviewers I found said it was worth the price.

Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing PowderI love these Japanese product lines. They are always so different, it's so good how they are usually always made out of such raw natural ingredients.

Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder is made from natural rice bran. It is so strange that it starts off as a powder, then by adding water it becomes a creamy cleanser.

  • Rejuvenating/Anti-aging
  • Gentle
  • Natural
  • 107 deep penetrating anti-oxidants

A lot of beauty guru's canonize the distinguished packaging, it comes in powder form in little sachets so is ideal for traveling. There is about 30 sachets and you should be able to get 3 washes out of each, pretty good.

Users Conclusions

This product promises a lot of things but does it deliver on those promises?

I can't actually find a bad word said about it. Users love how it leaves skin feeling soft, clean, controls oil, helps prevent acne breakouts, the soothing feel, how its non irritating and good for travel.

Directions

Wet face with warm water, then pour 1/3 of the powder into your hand, add water to it, rub hands together to create emulsion, massage into face and rinse.

Ingredients

Rice Bran Extract, Sorbital, Aloe Extract, Algae Extract, Potassium Dna, Dehydroacetic Acid, Paraben, Potassium, Myristate, Protease. , Rice Oil, Coconut Oil, Seaweed, Ginseng, Aloe, Wheat Powder, Swertia Herb.

To Sum Up

This is a big hit for everyone who has used it so far. I don't know about you but I'm excited to give this a try!

The price is quite extravagant at $36. However, it should last a while and according to users it actually works!
