Seriously citrusy and scrubby suds

Sandstone is seriously scrubby; it’s the strongest, scrubbiest soap we make. Loved by men and women alike, it was inspired by babes on the beaches of Brazil who mix sand with tanning oil to make their backsides smooth as silk. The layer of sand will exfoliate your body as you wash to leave you with soft, touchable skin. For once, getting sand all over your bits is a good thing! Coriander and gardenia oils tone and brighten, and your skin will be seductively scented with citrus notes of a tropical cocktail. Have yourself a shower vacation.

Features

  • When in Brazil: Inspired by the beaches in Rio de Janeiro and the gorgeous, smooth bodies we discovered there.
  • Getting scrubby with it: We’ve added sand as an exfoliator to buff and polish your skin.
  • Litsea whaaa?: Litsea Cubeba may be hard to pronounce but we love it’s lemony aroma and antiseptic effects for this soap.

from Loel
"I find this soap to be amazing. The citrus smell is so fresh, and I love the idea of the sand. I had some back acne all along the top of my back and after about a week-2 weeks of using this soap (only this soap), I can't feel a ...more"

I remember buying Rockstar 2 years ago & deciding LUSH was too expensive & not worth it, because:

It smelled good, but was annoying to handle in the shower... do you rub it on your body?? (not efficient).. or rub it into a pouf.. hrrm. (I'm a liquid bodywash user...)

It left an annoying "squeaky clean" but not moisturized feeling, which always happens when I use glycerin soaps!

I just bought Sandstone, & it presented the same problems.

BUT...
It smells lemony fresh... Kind of like Pledge furniture polish until you take it into the shower.. where it transforms into a more complex/fresh fragrance.. I keep smelling my hands between typing..

It's too scratchy to use anywhere other than elbows & feet, so definitely use a pouf.

I bought this as a gift for a friend because she loves citrus and it seemed like such a clever concept. She said she liked it, but then I used it at her place once, and I think she must have been just trying to be nice.

While the smell is nice and the soap is fine, the sand is super scratchy, so use it only on really rough spots like feet. It also leaves a lot of sand in the tub, which is annoying to try to rinse down the drain. These two cons really ruined the experience for me.

Comments about LUSH Sandstone:

I picked up this product because I had ran out of buffy (which I've been using for a while now) and wanted to switch up my exfoliant. This is definitely more exfoliating and smells better than buffy, but not as moisturizing.

Don't get me wrong, its not bad that its not as moisturizing, just you would need to use it with something else (which was already the case for me when I was using buffy) in order to make sure that your skin is super soft.

I first use the sandstone then I wash my body over with the olive branch shower gel and then I put on the Ro's argan body conditioner (which i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend) and when I'm out I use the dream cream lotion and my skin stays super lotion soft (as if I JUST applied lotion) for 2 days.

All in all I like this better than buffy only because I'm looking more for an exfoliant to help me with my cellulite. :)

    Comments about LUSH Sandstone:

    I had no idea a soap could be this amazing. But I bought it after it was recommened to me at the store.
    Not only does it smell amazing and leave me feeling fresh and clean, it apparently has magic!
    First, it's great for exfoliating before shaving. Second, it's fantastic for any body break outs. And third of all, it's great for stretch marks. I had some stretch marks on my thighs from dance and I also had a little patch of cellulite ever since I was about 7 (for whatever reason) that drove me nuts for years! And literally after using this soap for a week, it's all gone! I can't believe it. And it's still gone too. Plus, it lasts a long time if you take care of it (by not storing it in a puddle of water!)
    Also, I have pretty sensitive skin and haven't had any problems in that regard. Though, I wouldn't recomend using it on your face (but I did once use the non-gritty side on my face in a rush and nothing bad happened).

    Comments about LUSH Sandstone:

    I LOVE Lush products, and am hooked for life. However, this bar proved disappointing. It smells nice however it was not as exfoliating as I had hoped and left an awful mess in my tub that I had to clean up every 2 or 3 days or else the tub looked disgusting. I'll stick to the Karma soap I think...

      This is a perfect exfoliating soap. The sand is fine but gritty enough to really scrub skin (not recommended if you have sensitive skin). I find this works really well on the KP on my arms, and the smell is just divine. More than just lemon, it also has a tropical, floral kind of undertone that I wish Lush would make into a perfume or lotion! Love this soap.

        I love this so much! The scent is AMAZING! It exfoliates well, leaving my skin very soft after using it. It moisturizes, and gets rid of those little bumps on your upper arms. It's so nice to use after a hard day. I ride horses, so after a long stressful day, I love to scrub away the dirt with it.

        The first and second time you use it, it leaves your skin looking red and scratchy. It also doesn't last very long.

        I've tried a lot of different soaps and so i decided to try this one. I like how the sand exfoliates but do know that it's a tad messy. So,it's best to take a shower when you use this soap. I love the smell of this soap! It almost reminds me of sexy peel but with sand in it. It's like two in once bar of soap. It gets skin really smooth but you might want to apply lotion on after using.

        Comments about LUSH Sandstone:

        Sandstone is a really lovely soap overall; the smell is great and the lather is acceptable. The biggest problem I had was that sometimes the sand was too much of an exfoliate. I can use it right on my feet and other really rough spots, but scrubbing it directly on most of my skin was too scratchy. I prefer to lather the soap up in my hands, then apply it where I'm washing. Then I only get bits of sand and it's not too harsh. I will definitely be buying this soap again!

        I LOVE LOVE LOVE this soap. It is great for exfoliating and makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. It smells great too. It smells like citrus with an earthy tang, the scent doesn't really last after washing though. With that said, if you're not REALLY careful it will melt very quickly. Also, I've never had this soap have a layer of the sand that is mentioned or shown in the pictures (and I've bought several bars)mostly the sand is mixed in alternately with creamy, soothing soap. Its kind of like two soaps in one. Fabulous!

          I absolutely love this soap. It smells great, and it's so scrubby. I have keratotis pilaris, which is the pretty normal condition where you have tiny red bumps on your upper arms and sometimes other areas, and this has done more to reduce that than anything I've ever tried. My arms look so smooth, and I think it's almost completely cleared that up with using this soap and a moisturizer. Highly recommended!

          I love this Soap!!! It smells amazing! When I use this soap, I feel like I'm on vacation in the beach. Cool wind, hot sand, and cold citrus drink!
          Smell of this soap is amazing if you are citrus lover.
          It has small sand particle in the soap and it makes the skin softer after using. Watch out if you have very sensitive skin because it might irritates the skin.
          After using it, the soap does dries the skin little but I think there's no problem if you apply lotion after. I mean, it removes your dead skins away so there is chance of getting dryer skin after using it.

          I absolutely love this soap! I think it is amazing, so I'm surprised by the comments here. I'm confused that people think the sand is too rough, but compared to the crushed almond, etc. it's quite 'soft' or fine.

          The way I use it is: rub it all over my body (especially elbows, knees, and feet) and make sure I get a good lather. Then I wash it off, which, I admit, does leave a bit of a mess with the sand, but it's pretty easy to scoot off with your feet. Then when you're out of the shower, you grab the Each Peach (or if you have King of Skin, then you apply it before using the soap) and moisturize.
          I haven't had my skin this smooth since I was a baby! And if you use the massage bar or body butter then you can use the soap everyday.
          It's amazing.

            I'm on a real beach kick right now- when I was re-upping my Lush stash, I just searched BEACH and scooped up everything that fell in that category. I LOVE the feeling of the sand in the soap. LOVE IT. Makes me feel a little less depressed that I don't live on the beach. It smells good and comes off easily to!

              I got this in a birthday box. The smell of this soap is awesome, but every time after I use it it looks as if I just got back from the beach and buried myself in the sand! I rinse out the tub as best I can, and every time the shower dries there is a layer of sand on the tub that I have to rinse again. Also now my drain is really clogged and I have to find a way to clean the sand out, I'm told I'll probably need a shop vac or snake... If the soap didn't have sand in it, I would give it all the stars, unfortunately it seems more trouble than it's worth with all the drain and tub trouble.
