LUSH: Ocean Salt Facial and Body Scrub Review

I pick this up the first time I walked into a LUSH store. I have combo-oily skin and sometimes peeling gel is just not enough! So I wanted to look for something slightly rougher that can exfoliate yet won't dry up my skin and this is exactly what it is!

When you first open the bottle, you will see a blue layer with sea salts on top. Don't be scared by the thickness of the ocean salt, they melt easily once they come in contact with water. Below the blue layer is a creamy white layer. My guess is that the blue does most of the exfoliating and the white keeps the scrub gentle? The scrub tends to be on the rougher side, so you MUST add water as you exfoliate and apply moisturizer afterwards =)

Because there is sea salt, this scrub does a good job killing germs, leaving your skin clean and fresh. If the surface of your skin feels bumpy with black and whiteheads, this scrub scrapes the bumpiness off. When I run my finger on my nose, it's baby soft! ^^ Now of course, it doesn't get rid of all your blackheads, I haven't found a scrub that does that yet. Please tell me if you do :)

This scrub is suitable for combo-oily - oily skin. However, even though I am a combo-oily, I only scrub my T-zone, it's a bit too rough for my cheeks. Unlike some scrubs, this is not oil-base. I wouldn't recommend this for normal-dry skin. I haven't tried it on my body yet.

I really like the smell of this product. It has a pleasant ocean-beachy smell. You really only need a dab each time. A LITTLE means ALOT! =)
The only problem I have with this is that when I went in the store, the lady told me that it is gentle enough for daily use. So I used it early morning cause I was so desperate to get rid of my blackheads. But it is NOT gentle enough for everyday use. My skin IS more clean, but it also dried up and made it more sensitive : ( After that, I stick with the general rule of exfoliating 1-2 times/week, and it still keeps my face clean : )

I have used this scrub for around a year now and I still find this scrub as good as the first time I used it! It comes in two sizes, I got the bigger one and it's lasting me a LONG TIME! I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a rougher scrub that REALLY cleans your skin! Try it out! <3
