I think it’s just because exfoliators aren’t something I can use every day so I just automatically forget about them. All of that has recently changed all thanks to Lush Ocean Salt hiding away in the Lush box I was given for Christmas. Hooray for that beautiful blue gunk!
Ocean Salt is a face and body scrub that is full of sea salt, limes and avocado butter. The salt is obviously to scrub all of the dead skin cells and other nasty gunk from your skin, the lime is to brighten whatever the salt left behind and the avocado butter is to leave you as soft as a baby’s bum – I have no idea how soft a baby’s bum actually is.
The product has a gorgeous blue shade running through the off white goodness and it’s incredibly thick and very gritty. As soon as I took a little bit of Ocean Salt out of the tub I knew fine well my skin was going to be in for a very good scrub. I just didn’t realise how good a scrub it would be.
My skin was leaning toward the drier side of the scale when I first used Ocean Salt but I applied water to my face, scooped out a dollop of Ocean Salt and thought nothing more of it. As I started to rub the salty scrub to my face I could feel things getting a little sore. It wasn’t unbearable but it’s definitely not something I’ve experienced while exfoliating my skin before.
After I washed off the blue gunk I was actually left pleasantly surprised. Whatever pain I had felt while rubbing Ocean Salt on my skin had subsided and my face felt tingly in a jolly good way.
I actually felt like my face had undergone a good scrub and all the horrible crap that may have been lingering on my face was completely gone. The tingling sensation disappeared once I applied my moisturiser and I was left with very smooth and great looking skin.
I’ve used Ocean Salt a few more times and the soreness I felt during my first experience with it isn’t as prominent but it is definitely still there. I only use Ocean Salt once a week because of this as I feel like it’s just too heavy for 2-3 times a week.
Overall I can’t get enough of Ocean Salt and I sort of regret not trying it for so long. It’s been on my Lush list for a long time but I just keep forgetting about it whenever I make a Lush purchase.
I imagine the tub I have now will last me a long time but it will definitely be repurchased at some point in the future. The only thing I need to make sure I don’t do with it is accidentally get in my mouth as it is absolutely foul tasting!
