My Thoughts Corner

My skin loves a good scrub. The Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body scrub is a product I immediately fell in love with and today I thought I’d tell you why.

A grainy yet soft based scrub with an amazing summery smell topped with lime, it is housed in its typical black Lush tub. Once opened, you will find a relatively blue layer of tick chunky sea salt that’s supposed to be mixed up with the rest before use…

It’s mainly made of sea salt, as you can tell be the name to scrub away any dead skin and dirt.  It also contains seaweed absolute, avocado butter and extra virgin coconut oil to soften and hydrate the skin. Lush also incorporated in this mixture grapefruit, lime and violet leaf absolute for brightening. Unfortunately I noticed that this scrub holds paraben but in very low percentage.

After one use, I was instantly pleased by the clean and smooth feeling and look of my skin. One sure thing is that all crap that has been staying in my skin was gone. Another amazing fact about the Ocean Salt Scrub is the hydration and fresh scent are felt for hours later thanks to its ingredients that work wonders in fact. However the gritty texture might be too harsh for everyday use and I personally use it only once or twice a week.  

The Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub is one of, if not the best scrub I’ve ever used. It’s an all in one product that could be used as a cleanser, scrub and a moisturizer with an only grasp that it’s definitely not a product where a little goes too long, a pricey practice to maintain but I’m less likely to hold down any sooner considering its effectiveness.

Hi Beauties,

Few weeks back I popped into the nearest pharmacy for some skincare finds and as the pictures show in my instagram I got few of them and of course, for those who know me by now, would already guess that I picked them Paraben Free.  Today I’ll be reviewing the Grace Cole tea tree & witch hazel foaming facial wash and the body scrub.

The foaming facial wash asserts to “envelop your skin in a rich lather effectively sweeping away everyday impurities an keeping your skin looking smooth and radiant.” Tea tree is known for its anti-bacterial benefits whilst witch hazel keeps the skin clear and both of these ingredients are widely used in spot treatment.

This product is so gentle on the skin and washes off very easily. It’s also non drying and leaves the skin clean and refreshed. One of the things that amuses me is the light scent of tea tree, maybe because of witch hazel addition, and as I’m not a huge fan of it that makes it just perfect. 

From the other hand, the body scrub has a clear gel like formula with tiny particles. It claims to “rejuvenate, refine and smooth the skin. Its rounded microbeads stimulate the skin to remove dead cells and reveal radiance.”

It’s a very mild scrub that could be used daily. It leaves the skin fresh and smooth because of its gel formula I believe. The smell is also not strong, yet it is soothing some way. 

For anyone with blemish/acne/problem skin should definitely give this affordable range of products a try!

After a deep thought I’m sure I would be repurchasing the foaming facial wash. Unfortunately I like my body scrubs to be thick to feel the “real exfoliation” some of you might disagree but this is just my opinion. 

Hope you guys enjoyed!
