Scrub your skin clear with Mud Flats

Those who would benefit from our powerfully herbal, lemon scented, Rhassoul mud soap are people who never dare wear backless dresses or take off their t-shirts because of their spotty backs or people who never take their socks off for fear of poisoning the atmosphere. You might be surprised to know that antiseptic rosemary, salt, tea tree, sage and cleansing Moroccan clay can make such a difference, but the powerful combination of these ingredients is what clears out dirt, oil and debris from the skin. Buy a slab and get ready to expose yourself, so to speak.

Features

  • Rich, scrubby lather: Mud Flats foams into exfoliating suds to leave the skin feeling incredibly soft.
  • Afraid to bare your skin? Mud Flats is a fantastic soap for clearing up bodily imperfections.
  • Clear up blemishes and bumps: Wash away imperfections with tea tree oil, sage and rosemary.

Yes!! I love this soap
I actually ordered this along with "glorious mud" body scrub/mask.
I like that they send a deli container with this soap,it completely contains the messy fallout from the scrub and the soap.
I think the vanilla scent to the mud scrub is weird but the delicious herbal comforting scent of "Mud Flats soap" tangled with the vanilla of the mud cube inside the deli container actually smells comforting and clean to me.My roomate doesnt like the smell but still uses it.
Im an esthetician,I do skin professionally and I love skincare,so he uses it because I tell him that its amazing and should be loved aND admired for the gentle exfoliating action and toning qualities of this soap.And he trusts me when it comes to skin.

~If you have sensitive or dry skin I would only use this on troubled areas and I only use it three days a week(its hard to only use it 3 days/week i love cleansing w/ it).clays do pull moisture from the skin,but this really doesnt dry me out at all.i do think it is too harsh and warming for face but i use it on my chest and neck as well as my hairline on my forehead to banish clogged pores.

It is really good at banishing "foliculitis"
which is the official term for "those-little-red-bumps-on-your-upper-arms" :)
Foliculitis is caused by a number of things.mostly because you hair follicle shares the same opeing as you sweat and oil glands so dead skin and subaceous fluid along with dirt and other environmental pollutants,get together in your pores to have a party and dont want to leave.Thus clogging those tiny little follicles up and causing unsightly bumps.
I know this soap doesnt lather well,but i have found it amazingly helpful to get it wet and roll the bar between my palms until i get a thick mlky paste,then i add more warm water and work it into my body,this helps build a lather.
I also blend the mud scrub into the lather so i can scrub it around in gentle circular motions and let it sit and dry for a mintute.
Ive noticed "lathering" is a big deal to a lot of people.But lots of lather is not what cleans you.the rich oils lush uses is what cause soaps to lather.
That big lather we see in commercial shampoos and soaps is an additive they add to it to give rich lather so you think your getting clean,which you are,but not because of the lather.The product would do its job without it.
It's added in to make it easier to spread the product around and because people are babies and want to see lather or they dont think there getting clean.
Even knowing this im still comforted by some lather,HOWEVER i would rather have a light frothy lather from natural fatty oils creating a whippy lather effect in my LUSH soaps than have big rich synthetic lather from other shampoos ,body washes and soaps.

Bottom line.Buy this soap if you want beautiful,exfoliated,refreshed and toned skin.This is amazing,it is an absolute staple in my house i have to have 2 bars on hand at all times along with the gentle ring of rose and comforter bubble bar and Twilight.
Thumbs up lush this is great.
And thank you for the container.it contains all of the muddy mess and alows me to not loase all the crumbs so i dont waste any of it.

Bought this soap to help alleviate my "backne," and so far am still waiting to see results. (It's been about five days.) If it ends up working, I'll be stoked, but man this soap STINKS! I know some people really like it, but I find it to be incredibly strong and strange for a soap. It does smell distinctly like fresh ginger. The texture is really soft, so put it in a soap box or soap saver. Lathers a lot better than some other Lush soaps I've tried and leaves the skin feeling clean but not tight or dry. Like I said, if it ends up clearing my skin, I'll be coming back for more, smelliness be darned.

    Comments about LUSH Mud Flats:

    I was so heartbroken that I couldn't buy Narcotick anymore because it was great for body acne and stinky feet and pits. I had no idea that this would come so close, plus it's even better because it's packaging and preservative free and doesn't leave dark blue stains on my shower curtains and tile!

    A must have for anyone who needs a little anti-bacterial assistance.

    Comments about LUSH Mud Flats:

    I love scrubby soap. This stuff has just the right amount of scrubby and smooth to it. It doesn't lather much, but the lather is smooth and silky, like a high grade castille soap produces. It also makes a great shaving soap. It does make a bit of a mess in the shower, but heck, it's the *shower,* just make sure to rinse the mud away before you turn off the water, it takes five seconds.

      This is by far the best handmade soap I have ever tried - in fact, the best bar of soap I have ever used. Just setting opening the soap case is intoxicating, so you can imagine how delightful it is to slather this bad bar on your body. It makes bathing a spiritual experience.

      When I first opened the container, I didn't know what to think about the smell. After my first shower, I was surprised at how much I loved this soap!!! The herbal smell is different but goes nicely with the texture and feel of the mud. I just wish it would last longer for the price. But overall this has been my favorite lush soap. Will definitely buy again when it's back in stock!

The texture is so smooth and silky, the sandy bits make my skin feel so soft and pampered. It's like a spa in a bar! The smell is also delightful and mild, overall a comforting bar of soap.

      I bought this soap because I'm the queen of breakouts. Even after reading a review that said it smelled like a medicine cabinet, I thought that it surely couldn't be that bad. When my order arrived, I took one huge whiff and I swear to you, it cleared my sinuses big time. The scent is sooo strong, it's rude! Aside from the smell, it didn't last very long & I couldn't tell if it made a difference on my skin. I'll have to order another chunk & take it for another test drive.

      I use this soap in the shower and it works great! It exfoliates prefectly for my sensitive, acne prone skin. The only downfall of this soap is that it melts way too fast!! I want to buy more of this soap, but I will not be using it daily if it gets used up this fast.

      Comments about LUSH Mud Flats:

      I bought a Lush gift basket for my boyfriend and this was included. I was SO excited to try it, and it was initially a lot of fun to use. Almost immediately after applying it though my skin began to feel irritated, and there was a strange stinging sensation.. it just didn't feel "right". I quickly rinsed it off, and sure enough my entire body was covered in red splotches and what appeared to be scratches. I'm sure that I am allergic to something in this which is why my experience went the way that it had, but I would definitely suggest trying it out on your hand or arm before covering yourself!

          This is by FAR my favorite body soap I've purchased from Lush. It smells very clean, earthy, and a little like lemongrass. It's got just enough grit to be lightly exfoliating and the mud feels AMAZING on skin. It doesn't strip your skin of moisture and it actually cleared up the little blemishes that occasionally show up on your skin. Wonderful!

          I was so excited about using this soap, because I love lemon scents and deep cleaning, mud based products. It doesn't really smell like lemons at all though... in fact, the herbal smell was so strong at first it gave me a headache! Once I started using it in the bath, it felt amazing... just a little bit drying, but the smoothness of my skin made it so worth it. The smell also calmed down a little, and if it ever gets overpowering, I scrub with just a little bit of Slammer after :) If you don't mind strong herbal scents, this soap is magical!

              I can't live without mud flats! I have very dry skin and it's the only soap I've tried that is so gentle and soft. I love the earthy smell (I don't smell the lemons at all). It also is great for getting rid of tiny blemishes (esp. chest area) and helps get rid of scaly/drin skin. No, it does not lather (it's mud! I don't think it's meant to lather), but it is cleansing and smells great. It's also great for feet and underarms. LOVE IT!

                  When I first got it in it's cute little box I wondered why? Now I know I keep it by the shower because in the shower I apply this to my back and neck and even spot treatments on my face. I take a little bit and rub it into the spot and let it sit a bit then I wash it off with a LUSH cleanser. It's a great summer soap because it gets feet nice and fresh!

                  I gave a sample to my friend she can't get enough of the scent:) This is a great soap I will continue to use it.

                  I received this as a sample today with my Lush order. I went to shower with it...and there was no later. I mean none, at all. The smell is great though and I did feel clean, but not as clean as if there would have been any bubbles. The smell is great though. A nice wake-me-up. Wonder if I got a sample from an off batch though.

                  I love, love, love this soap. It smells amazing and it has definitely improved the look and feel of my skin since I've been using it. The ONLY thing is that it's not lasting very long. It is a great product though and I will buy it again.

                  I always have the hardest time with soaps, because they tend to make my psoriasis worse. This soap, however, is the only thing I have found that has been able to clear it up. I don't get any weird allergic reactions to it, and it's so gentle that I can even wash my face with it! This is by far the best soap ever made, and I recommend it to anyone considering purchasing it.
