Sugar Scrub

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

Okay so today was the first time I used this product and I absolutely love it! I only used about 1/4 of it which was way more than enough but I used it all since it was already broken and I didn't want to put it back. My skin is definitely smoother than before and it got rid of all the little bumps I had on my back (which were from back acne) that I've had for awhile now. I'm still amazed that it only took ONE use to get rid of them completely. Although the bumps on my arms are still there, they are not so noticeable when I touch my arm. You can barely feel anything there, so I'm assuming by the time I finish using the whole thing they should be all gone. I honestly have no complains about this product at all. I listened to the suggestions from previous reviews about breaking it up and putting it in a bowl. I just used a little bit at a time and scrubbed all my problem areas really hard until the scrub dissolved.

I was used to thick goopy sugar scrubs in jars, so at first, I didn't know how to use this. Don't take it all into the shower at once! If you do, then it will stay wet and melt off, or get hard and crusty (either way a waste). What I do and what I have found to work best is to keep the scrub in a dry container outside of the shower. When you plan on using it, break off a piece and take that into the shower with you, leaving the rest behind in its dry container. I use about 1/5-1/6 of the whole thing and that is a good sized portion for my whole body. Place it somewhere dry in the shower until you're ready to use it, then kind of mash it up in your hands and rub all over! It smells so good, and it makes me feel so soft and clean. I use it almost weekly in place of a body wash. It is a thorough scrub, and I will definitely be buying it again. My only con is that it's a little messy and it can be easy to waste since some of it just falls everywhere.

I love this. I had never used a shower scrub like this before and was skeptically hopefull that it would help with the backs of my shoulders and arms that have little skin bumps. It was amazing, it also felt great on my legs, it's like a exfoliating facial for your whole body. One note though, do not use it on freshly shaved underarms or if you have a heat rash, I should have known better but wasn't thinking.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I just found out about lush and all their wonderful products! i really do think the things they sell are a little pricey but i love them so much! Sugar scrub smells amazing and really helps get rid of dead skin and bumps on skins surface. This product was a little tricky to use like some of their solid products but you just need to come up with a good technique and you will be very satisfied with the products you buy!

First off the first time i used this i treated myself to an at-home spa bath. This is exactly what i did:
- Take a bath in your favorite bath melt, bath fiz or bubble bar.
- when you are done relaxing take a shower smoothie or extremely moisturizing shower gel
and wash youself. make sure you take sometime and really rub in the gel or smoothie into legs, arms or other drier areas of skin.
-now really wet skin and get you sugar scrub ready you can do these two ways (before shower take a good thick piece of scrub in a bowl and keep on the side of tub or hold the scrub and go in light gentle circles) i took the scrub in hand and sprinkled a little water on it and rubbed circularly on legs, inner thighs arms and elbows. put down the scrub and rubbed the excess scrub that fell off all over the rest of my body.
- now yes the scrub does shrink when doing this but it really helps dry patches on skin so i think its worth it. but to keep my product as long as possible i place the scrub bar on a dry wash cloth till i get out of bath. and place it in an empty plastic container so if it melts i can scoop up the product but most of the time it just stays nice in the closed container.
- next i rinsed the product off after exfoliating. (yes this is a harsher product but i do has sensitive skin and i was fine i just didnt vigorously rub the bar into my skin i was very gentle)
- after rinising i took my Glorious Mud (before i go into bath/shower i chopped a little less than half off the glorious mud and put in a small bowl and put on side of tub or side of floor by tub) Took the bowl of glorious mud and sprinkled a little water in the bowl till i mixed it into a paste.
- i stood up and rubbed glorious mud all over body and stood and let it dry for 5 to ten mins.
- after the time i took shower head and rinsed it off and rubbed it in circle motions off me.
- went back in tub make sure all the mud and exfoliatior was off and rinsed out tub.
- the tub will be a bit messy after but its an easy clean take hot water and rinse sides and it goes away easy.
- i patted myself dry and put on charity lotion after i let the lotion sink in and absorb into skin i take silky underwear and let the powder skink into skin as i pat it in.
- after this your skin feels amazing. 3 days later and my skin still feels great. i do this once a week so i can really keep up with my skin.
i really love what sugar scrub does it even helps with the razor burn on my legs. other exfoliatiors didnt do to much for me after a couple days i can really tell how good this worked just the first time i used it. Its a bit pricey but oh so worth it!

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I Love this sugar scrub! I have always used the sugar scrubs that are soaked in oils, and always leave me feeling slippery and leave my tub a mess! This one was SO refreshing. I broke off a 1/4 peice size. Put it in a small bowl.. and put it on the edge of the tub. I used a small amount on each parts of my body, and rubbed it in until it wasnt grainy anymore. I rinsed off, and was amazed at my super soft, exfoliated, and yummy smelling skin!

I LOVE this product!! After I figured out that you need to get it wet to use it, i loved the way it felt. My skin is so soft after I use it. My favoriate exfoliant ever

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

i loved it but unfortunately it has melted after two uses , but i would recommend it over and over again it is better to break it up and take what you need and get it wet and lather onto your body. other wise i love this product.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I adore this product! You just have to figure out how best to use it. First, find a container with a lid (waterproof is obviously best). Next, crumble the sugar scrub into it (so its in loose chunks, kind of like brown sugar). When you're ready to use the scrub, scoop a little out into your hand and mix it with your favorite shower gel and then scrub it in circular motions where ever! It works so much better than just rubbing the bar over your skin, and its a lot more pleasant!

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

A wonderful product! I bought it because it was inexpensive and the sales associate told me it would help firm up cellulite areas. Wow. I noticed a dramatic improvement after several uses. Very smoothing and soft on my skin. It wasn't too difficult to figure out how to use...I crushed it with my fingers while dry and put it in a tupperware container that sits in my shower...when I'm done washing, I take a small scoopful and lather it on and then rinse off! It's exfoliating, so I use it slowly and gently. I have used it already 7-8 times and still have 2/3 left. It takes only a little to be effective. The only con is that it's not exactly self-explanatory how to best use this product: I found that it's important to crumble it up to make it last and keep it dry and be gentle when using; otherwise it dissolves quickly and may scratch skin! Overall I'm very impressed and pleased with this product!

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I was in extreme need of a shower scrub, in my opinion. At that (good) price I was willing to give sugar scrub a try. To be honest, when I used it first, I thought that I must be doing something wrong. It basically just hurt!!! The scrub is very harsh on my skin. Even with some soaking in water this effect did not subside at all. I still continued to use it, but trying to apply it as gentle as possible. The upside to is: It has a very pleasant scent. But still if you are looking for a scrub, that won't make you feel like you are actually scrubbing your skin of - don't go for sugar scrub.

Love this product!! Smells amazing and make my skin super soft :)

I boke mine up in a tupperware and only bring a small piece in the shower with me. Have used this twice and still have a ton left. Will buy again!

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I got this scrub in a gift set. Right away I fell in love with it's fragrance. I hopped in the shower and gave it a try, bringing the whole bar in there with me. I have used other Lush scrubs before, and this one was most definitely abrasive...Harsh and painful at times, actually.
Besides that, when I returned to my bathroom later that evening I realized that the entire sugar scrub had dissolved into some gooey sticky sugary mess. I scrapped all that I could into a container and now I just take in handfuls of this green goop into the shower with me. It is an effective scrub, don't get me wrong, but the mess that it makes is unpleasant.

Using Happy Hippy along with Sugar Scrub - soft, fresh, hint of citrusy grapefruit and lemon.
Extra special thanks to Alex at Portland's Washington Square store for introducing me to this fab combo!!!

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

This exfoliates with natural ingredients for soft, smooth skin; sugar is a natural humectant, it retains moisture in the skin and its granules aren't as harsh as salt or pumice. I use it 2-3 per week in the shower, mainly on my upper arms, shoulders and back for smooth skin. Do keep it in a dry container away from water as it dissolves easily; I generally rub it in my hands then apply to skin, rather than applying it directly, and this prolongs the product.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I really don't have a lot of good to say for this shower scrub. Even for someone like me who loves the smell of lemon, this made me think more along the lines of a cleaning product for my sink than for me. The worst part was that even with both myself and the product being damp, it still left scratches all over my skin.

I don't doubt there's some good in it somewhere, but none of it is for me.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

This is my first time using a solid sugar scrub and was surprised at how soft it made my skin feel without the oiliness on my skin or in the tub. I crumbled mine in a plastic container so it's easy to grab. I just have to make sure not to get water in it. Over time, some of the pieces harden so I add a little bit of it in my palm and add a little water. The smell is refreshing and subtle. I am going to put it in a container that opens partially so I can shake out some without getting the rest wet.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I really loved this while I was using it. I exfoliated really nicely and smelled nice but then as I was rinsing it off I started to itch. By the time I got out of the shower I had hives all over my neck, chest, sholders and stomach. Thank god for Dream Cream and Benadryl. My legs were uneffected so maybe I will use the rest of it on just my legs.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I like to exfoliate at least once weekly and I usually make my own concoction of raw sugar, olive oil and sea salt. I decided to give this a try.

I usually LOVE everything I try from Lush, but this product--I HATE it!! First off, you cannot use this as they recommend or you will get one use out of it. I cut it into pieces and that helped with getting a few uses out of it. I like the scent, it does exfoliate well but it is super messy and doesn't go far.

The main reason I rated this so low was that I purchased one a few weeks ago. I always store my Lush products in a plastic bag so they don't dry out. When I took a large piece of this into the shower with me it didn't dissolve at all in the water and instead became like a block of sandpaper. I have scratches all over my arms and legs from it. I don't believe that storing this in an airtight plastic bag for 2 weeks should cause that to happen.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I use this before shaving areas where I often experience bumps. I also use it daily to prevent bumps from occuring.

Comments about LUSH Sugar Scrub:

I have normal skin and really like exfoliating it to get it super soft--hence I thought I would love this product. However when I used it in the shower today it was painfully scratchy to rub on my body. Also whatever I rubbed onto my body immediately desolved. After my shower my skin was covered in red scraches and was not moisurized at all.

It does have a nice smell and is okay as a soap after it desolves. I would not recommend this product to a friend except for maybe on the bottoms of feet only. Instead for body I like Aqua Mirabilis WAY better.
