Coconut cream and sea salt scrub
Washing with Ocean Salt is like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water. The minerals in sea salt soften as it scrubs away dirt, dead skin and blockages for a bright, fresh face. We mix in fresh avocado and coconut to hydrate thirsty skin, leaving it balanced and soft. The antibacterial effects of lime and vodka are ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes and leave skin visibly brightened. It's no wonder Ocean Salt is so enormously popular!
Features
- Suitable for all skin types: Ocean Salt is beneficial for combination to dull and oily skin, and works well to occasionally exfoliate dry skin.
- Our most exfoliating cleanser: Ocean Salt contains a combination of coarse and fine sea salt.
- For an invigorating scrub: Salt and citrus oils can cause irritation for sensitive skin types. If you’re quite sensitive, we suggest using a gentler product.

After just one regimen of Ocean Salt, my face was smooth, glowing, and the acne was disappearing! Since then, I've used it daily with Vanishing Cream. Together, these two products have done for me what at least fifty different products over the last 15 years have failed to do! My blemishes and acne scars are slowly disappearing, and I don't get acne flare-ups, even during stressful periods or "that time of the month".
Even my husband loves Ocean Salt for his face!
It's amazingly gentle enough for face, but also works on rough foot patches too!

I wouldn't say my skin is really that sensitive, but this product made me think again. I used Ocean Salt once a week but every time I used it, it left my skin, yes clean and feeling soft, but very irritated and I'd break out quite a bit.
I really wanted to like this product because 1) it smells sooo darn good 2) I'd heard so much about it and 3)I would say the price for the small 3.4 oz. jar seemed quite unreasonable and I actually went out of my way to buy it anyway.
With all the hype behind Ocean Salt I was prepared to love it, but the results just didn't cut it.
Maybe it's just MY skin.... so maybe...I just might recommend it to a friend, but I'd warn them to test it out beforehand for it really depends on our skin.

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
Ocean Salt, while a pleasant concoction for the face and body, isn't necessarily "miraculous" in my opinion. I was just thrown off for a second after reading some of the reviews. The first time I used Ocean Salt, I was sort of expecting clear skin, zero blotches, and no blackheads. I didn't get that (obviously) so just go into this with realistic expectations.
I really like Ocean Salt though. Typically I'll just scoop a small handful of it in the shower (make sure no water gets into the container, though) and then massage it into my face and let it sink into my pores for a moment while I wash up my other bits. After using Ocean Salt, I always feel refreshed and I actually have glowing skin. That's right, it's not just faulty lighting or a trick of the eye, my skin is actually bright/glowing/reflecting light, whatever you call it. Whatever you call it, it looks good and keeps my skin matte for the next morning. I take night showers, so Ocean Salt really scrubs away any grime that might have collected throughout the day (especially in polluted Shanghai) and leaves me with a clean canvas to start with for the next day. If you are someone who takes morning showers, I believe Ocean Salt would feel so good to help you wake up.
Ocean Salt smells delicious, but try to restrain yourself from gulping down the contents of the container. It's SALT. And as a response to anyone who might say it is overpriced, I would like to respectfully disagree. Buy shopping from LUSH, you are both supporting a cruelty-free organization but also getting quality, organic ingredients. There are still sulfates in it, but some things can't be helped. Ocean Salt lasts pretty long too, I'd estimate 6 months for the larger size while using it twice to three times a week.
Overall, Ocean Salt is a cool exfoliating cleanser which I believe is very reasonably priced and worth the amount of luxury it adds to your routine. Look great, but most importantly, feel great.

Dead skin remover

About Me Brand Buyer
Pros
- Reduces Size of Pores
- Removes dead skin
Cons
- It Dissolves Quickly
Best Uses
- Dry Skin
Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
I have dry skin, it tends to be more noticeable on my forehead. Using this product before my primer has helped provide a smooth surface and reduce the visibility of pores. Be careful not to use it in the shower or if your face is to wet, as it will dissolve quickly before you feel it scrubbed properly. A slightly damp face and a good 1 min rub will do it.

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
I was recommended to buy this product as a first time shopper to the LUSH in Beachwood Mall. This smoothie does exfoliate well, however, the avocado does not overcome the alcohol present from the vodka infused lime when I applied it to my skin. Parts of my face actually started to burn slightly as a result, so I will only use this for my body. If anyone does try this, I would recommend having a facial moisturizer handy. Still though, I'm overly impressed with how soft my skin feels and hope to continue to use this product!

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
I bought Ocean Salt a couple of years ago and fell in love, but I kinda forgot all about it in the next two years. I have acne prone skin, and while it's not exactly greasy it is pretty rough from time to time. I bought ocean salt again recently remembering how much I loved it after trying to recoup from a harsh skin treatment, and I can't believe I even forgot about it! It leaves my skin feeling absolutely wonderful, smooth and soft to touch. I love the smell too, lime is divine. My acne barely even comes around anymore, and when it does Ocean Salt dries it out and it's noticeably smaller the next day. I even got my boyfriend (who has very acne prone skin) to love it! His skin has cleared up tremendously by using it every once in a while to get all the dirt and grime off.

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
I, personally, love Ocean Salt. It makes my skin so soft and I love the smell! But, if your skin is REALLY sensitive, the sea salt could possibly irritate your skin to where it feels like it's burning. Maybe because the vodka and lime in the product. That happened to my sister. Overall, I absolutely love Ocean Salt!

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
Living most of my life in Alaska, I never had to worry too much about my skin. The clean, cold air kept it from producing too much oils and when zits would occasionally appear, a quick pop and they were gone. I didn't even have to bathe that often—1–2 times per week at most. I've since moved to Manila, where I sweat so much my pores sometimes throw in the towel and just plain give up. And a few of these nasty pimples my polluted pores produce are quite stubborn, leaving behind red marks for weeks no matter what product I try. I had a few of these blemishes—one between my eye brows, and a couple on my chin—when I walked into my local Lush store for the first time. I walked out with Ocean Salt, Tea Tree Water and Cosmetic Lad. When I got home, I used the Ocean Salt and the Tea Tree and was immediately astonished. My face probably hasn't felt this good since I was a baby! And my acne, it seemed to be disappearing before my very eyes! The red marks had already faded into my normal skin color, and the next morning when I looked in the mirror, there were no pimples anywhere. Seriously. I don't know when the last time was that I'd been entirely pimple-free. Now I can't stop talking about Lush. Thank you guys!

My husband and I love this product! It is very balancing as a bi-weekly scrub/mask. I use it only bi-weekly because I have combination and angry skin. It really makes my skin on my face feel super clean and really toned when finished using it. I pair it with dark angels simply because dark angels is a daily for me and the powerful Ocean Salt really amps it up and keep my skin freshly exfoliated!

Cons
Best Uses

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
This was one of the first products I bought from Lush, and I honestly don't think I could live without it now. I was basically sold on this during the hand demo (with lemony flutter and another product that I currently cannot remember) SOLD
I use this product on my face and body but not every day. It instantly helps any roughness and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. I personally love the smell of this product, I wish the scent could be an air freshener or candle just so my bathroom could smell like this all the time, BUT i can understand how it may be overpowering for some people. The girls at my local Lush store advised me to mix with a popsicle stick before using.
The one negative thing I have to say about this product, and maybe it's just me, is how quickly I go through it. I feel like I extra product, and have gone through the LARGER container almost too quickly. As much as I love this product it is a little expensive for me so I feel as though maybe I need to live with using it less. But that is truly my only complaint.

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
My whole life I've struggled with break outs and sensitive skin. Until I tried this product, I never was able to find anything that worked to clear my skin and keep it from drying out. After one use of Ocean Salt, I was hooked. Seriously, the next morning my skin was dramatically different! For awesome results, apply a thin layer of Ultrabland onto your face and then on top of that apply Ocean Salt. Rinse with warm water and your skin will have never felt smoother. Every time I use it, I'm in such disbelief about how great my skin feels. So happy that I've finally found something that works.

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
I love Ocean Salt! I have never had such a clean feeling face in my life! It is a little rough, but for me, that's a good thing because it is removing all dirt and dead skin, leaving your face clean and fresh. After one use my face looks so much better. I usually don't spend more than $10 on a face product, but I will definitely repurchase this. It just gives such a deep clean and helped get rid of blackheads and pimples. You can feel it working which is what I like the most. Such a great product and I would recommend it to anyone.

But honestly I don't like how my skin look after using it, it doesn't feel thoroughly cleansed nor significantly brightened like when I use other brands. CONSIDER your need before purchasing

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
I use this both in the bath & in the shower daily! This product is exfoliating - but not to the point where it irritates my skin. I use this product on both my arms and legs before I shave to protect from things such as ingrown hairs. I've noticed that this product softens my skin overtime, as well as instantly! I was skeptical when I first heard about the vodka in this product because I have eczema on both my left and right shoulders, I thought it would dry and rough up my skin, but it does the exact opposite! This product has been a miracle in a jar for me. It helps with the greasy areas around my nose, and hydrates the dry areas around my shoulders. It's truly amazing!

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
LOVE LOVE LOVE this scrub! It's like taking a dip into the sea and emerging with fairy tale skin! I've been looking for a good facial exfoliator for a while now and most would either not get rid of dead skin, or leave me dry. This scrub takes away all dead skin, leaving perfectly smooth and hydrated skin after rinsing. This is also the first scrub I've used that leaves my skin more hydrated and moisturized than before I use it! Gentle enough to not make my super fair skin red, yet powerful enough to transform my skin into near perfection.
The only downside would be if you accidentally get some on your lips/in your mouth, it's like swallowing a salt tab. Minor though, and now I learn to keep my mouth shut a little bit more ;)

Comments about Ocean Salt Cleanser:
This is a great multi use product. I use it to cleanse my face about twice a week and alternate Angels on Bare Skin and Aqua Marina in between and my face looks great. I also use this to exfoliate my legs before shaving and to soften up my feet along with the rest of my LUSH must have pedicure products.
A little will go a long way so there is no need to over indulge. If your skin is sensitive (like mine), maybe use it 1-2 times a week on the face and don't scrub too hard, you really don't need to anyway. Just soft smooth circular motions and rinse well. This leaves my skin clean and glowing every time.

Q:
do i need to mix this product when i first get it?Asked on 4/17/2013 by ceceKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
I don't mix mine since I use circular motions to gently scrub it into my body. I do, however, make sure to scoop a little bit of white and blue every single time. When you scrub in circular motions it allows the product to mix together on its own, especially when you go over everywhere more than once. I usually do two or three passes (sometimes it requires additional product, but I try to work fast enough as to where it's not needed). I'm not entirely sure if everyone else mixes theirs.Answered on 4/21/2013 by Beauty Proof from Ankeny, Iowa

Q:
I just tried Ocean Salt (last night being the first time I tried it); however, I have noticed tiny bumps on my face that wasn't there before. Not sure if this has happened to anyone, or is this how the product usually works?Asked on 10/24/2012 by Camille C. from Las Vegas, NVKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
This does not sound like a typical reaction to Ocean Salt, so if you find this occurs again after using the product, we'd recommend discontinuing use because you might be sensitive to one of the ingredients. If you purchased a full container, you may still be able to return it to the shop it was purchased at, or if it was from LUSH Direct, give us a call at 1-888-733-5874 and we'd be happy to help!Answered on 11/2/2012 by Megan from LUSH

1 answer
A:
The combination of exfoliating ingredients, alphahydroxic acids, and cleansing ingredients make this a great product to help defeat blackheads. Using this in conjunction with a clay-based mask (check out our Fresh Face masks!) would really help to prevent them.Answered on 7/31/2012 by Laura from LUSH
Q:
Does the salt in this scrub dissolve? If so, how long does it normally take?Asked on 7/18/2012 by ElizaLovesLush from Olympia, WAKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
The salt definitely starts to dissolve as you work the scrub into the skin. The length of time really depends on the temperature of the water you use, as well as the intensity of the scrubbing. The coarse salt is meant to exfoliate, so it isn't necessarily meant to dissolve completely.Answered on 9/7/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:
does this product help remove acne scarring???Asked on 6/23/2012 by katie from west virginiaKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
This product is a very deep and thorough cleanser, with lots of ingredients to exfoliate, and ingredients that naturally contain alphahydroxic acids, which help remove dead skin cells and make the skin look fresh and bright. It won't be able to remove the scarring, but it can help diminish the appearance. Finding a really great moisturize will also help, because healthy, nourished skin will have the easiest time repairing itself.Answered on 7/13/2012 by Laura from LUSH

A:
I don't think it will because acne prone skin is sensitive and to me this product is harsh. I would try Herbalism.Answered on 6/7/2012 by Jessica from St. Louis, MOA:
it may as exfoliation is great for clearing out pores but it might be a little harsh on inflamed skin. i highly recommend the mask of magnamity for clearing up acne - it works WONDERS on my breakouts.Answered on 6/15/2012 by elysium from burlington, vt

Q:
Whatvare the steps to use ocean salt?Asked on 5/14/2012 by AnonymousKnow the answer? Answer this question

A:
I usually start with a regular cleanser to get make up off first, preferably something super gentle (aqua marina?) because ocean salt can be harsh.
After that, I actually recommend applying it to DRY skin, in firm circular motions, then rinsing off with warm water and patting dry. Finish with your favorite moisturizer or try using the Full of Grace bar. I've had wonderful results with the pairing of the two.Answered on 7/26/2012 by MintBerryCruncbh from Bremerton, WAA:
1. hop in shower
2. scrub all over body
3. feel fabulous :)Answered on 5/28/2012 by Alexis from MassachusettsA:
I wet my face, scoop a little out with my finger, rub it between my hands so I can apply evenly to my face, and scrub away. It's not hard at all. Just make sure you don't get it in your eyes. It has a lot of salt in it and it's coarse.Answered on 5/29/2012 by Little Misses Wayson from Middle River, MDA:
I recommend first steaming your face to open up your pores. Then, take a small scoopful of Ocean Salt (a little goes a long way) and using your fingertips, scrub it all over your face (avoiding eyes) in a circular motion. I'd wait a few seconds to let it sink into your skin, then rinse it off with warm water. Pat dry (don't scrub with a towel) and follow up with a light moisturizer. :)Answered on 5/29/2012 by In Love With Ocean Salt from Boston, MAA:
To use Ocean Salt, as per our instructions online; Splash water on your face and apply about a teaspoonful of scrub using an upward, circular motion to exfoliate and refresh the skin. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry. Ocean Salt can also be used on other parts of the body including chest, back, arms and legs.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Anonymous
Q:
Can this product be used as a everyday cleanser or a mask?Asked on 5/5/2012 by AnonymousKnow the answer? Answer this question
5 answers
A:
It would probably be too abrasive to use everyday. Also, I don't think it'd work well as a mask. The salt dissolves after a while.Answered on 5/11/2012 by Andrea from DCA:
I personally use this as a scrub maybe once a week. As with most scrubs if used more it may become too drying for your face. It is pretty textured, using it everyday will probably be too harsh. I've never used it as a mask.Answered on 5/13/2012 by Cathy Fuss from South LouisianaA:
I think it depends on skin type. My skin is pretty normal, but I use it every 2nd day... Hope this helps :)Answered on 5/17/2012 by R.Anne from ZagrebA:
It could be a little harsh to use everyday, try every other day and don't forget to moisturize!Answered on 5/17/2012 by HT from Salem, OR
Q:
Can you shave your legs with ocean salt? Are there any other products that you can use to shave your legs?Asked on 5/5/2012 by Mo-Mo from Philadelphia PAKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
I would not use the Ocean Salt to shave your legs, as this might sting! You could use it before shaving to exfoliate away dead skin cells for a closer shave, but I would highly recommend using one of our shaving creams such as Prince, Ambrosia, Shave the Planet or Razorantium for shaving. They leave the skin super soft and protected from all the nourishing butters and creams.Answered on 5/11/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:
I had a demo in the Portland, OR store about a year ago for a 3-part scrub/moisturizer. It gave amazing results and I bought all three products involved, but now can't remember what order to use them. It involved Ocean Salt, Dream Cream and Lemony Flutter, with the scrub being the middle step, I think. Can you help?Asked on 4/15/2012 by Anonymous from Seattle, WAKnow the answer?

I would use dream cream last....Answered on 5/4/2012 by Muerto Cupcake from Corpus Christi, TexasA:
Ah! This sounds like Oceany Flutter! This is when you take a dab of Ocean Salt, and mix it in your palm with an equal amount of Lemony Flutter. Make it into a paste, and scrub your hands with this mixture, being sure to focus on dry, scaly areas. Now rinse it off, and pat your hands dry. Finish off with a dab of Dream Cream, and feel how soft your hands are!Answered on 4/19/2012 by Megan from LUSHA:
The hand treatment goes lemon flutter, ocean salt and dream cream. its nice to do right before the day starts so your hands are smooth all day long

Q:
What are the consistency and color of this product supposed to be like? The first one I bought was bright blue and had a very scrubby texture but with finer salt and was thicker overall once stirred. The one I just bought yesterday had much coarser/chunkier salt and was a very very light blue with a creamier texture once stirred. It looked like the very top layer was blue with the chunky salt and underneath was white cream. Both were very effective but I'm just wondering what the true color and consistency are supposed to be like. Thanks.Asked on 4/6/2012 by Jaime from NYKnow the answer? Answer this question

A:
There was a change in the suppliers of salt used at one point, I believe, however both descriptions you've provided do sound normal for the Ocean Salt. If the blue topping gets mixed in during transit or something like that, the rest may appear bluish, or if it doesn't get stirred, the blue will stay at the top until its stirred. There are two types of salt in it- both coarse and fine sea salts, mixed with lots of emollient coconut oil which can give it a slightly creamy texture.Answered on 4/11/2012 by Megan from LUSH

Q:
Can you use ocean salt everyday. I've heard yes and no. Someone told me to only use it once a day and someone else said only once or twice a week.Asked on 2/10/2012 by LindaKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
For most skins, we recommend giving it a day or two between uses. This is because the Ocean Salt is very exfoliating meaning it polishes away the dead skin cells on the skin's surface.If you scrub too much, the cells don't get a chance to replace themselves, and the result can be excess oil production, or the skin may be dried out or irritated. It's best to allow the skin a day or two between uses.Answered on 2/16/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:
How often do I use this product? Daily? Weekly?Asked on 1/22/2012 by Anonymous from Westchester, ILKnow the answer? Answer this question
3 answers
A:
The frequency will vary depending on your skin type. LUSH recommends using it about once a week as an exfoliant if you have dry skin. Those with oily or blemish-prone skin can use it daily to help with blackheads and breakouts.Answered on 1/26/2012 by Community Answer from NoneA:
I use it a few times a week on my hands. It keeps them soft and moisturized. I only use it about twice a week on my face because I have very sensitive skin. Throughout the week I use Angels On Bare Skin as a daily cleanser.Answered on 1/28/2012 by Cristina from Miami, FLA:
We recommend using Ocean Salt once per week if your skin is on the drier side, however, if your skin is oily you should probably be fine to cleanse with it daily. We would suggest starting out with one use per week, and then increasing use if you feel the need to do so.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
