Lush Whoosh Shower Jelly Review

Tuesday 21 April 2015

Since I have somehow collected a ridiculous amount of soaps, shower gels and shower jellies I’m only just getting round to using Whoosh; something I purchased back in November. I was initially attracted to Whoosh because of the gorgeous blue shade of it and because a shower jelly is way more fun than a shower gel.


Whoosh is my first shower jelly so I’m still very confused as to how to use it; I originally attempted to scoop a little bit out but I couldn’t get my fingers through the thick jelly. It took me 5 minutes of standing in water that was getting colder by the minute to decide to just tip Whoosh out of its tub and use it whole. I’m still unsure as to whether I’m using it correctly or not but hey, at least I finally figured out one method that works.

As Whoosh is a shower jelly it makes washing yourself with it a little difficult. I have fairly small hands which makes keeping a grip on Whoosh when it’s whole rather hard as it is but throw in the slipperiness of it and I have one big problem. I’m forever crawling around the floor of my shower trying to pick Whoosh up after it flies out of my hand. I feel like I’m remaking Flubber in my bathroom.


The bubbles that Whoosh creates when mixed with skin and water is similar to a standard shower gel. I wasn’t entirely sure what would happen when using a shower jelly but I’m pleased to say Whoosh cleans just as well as any other soap like substance I’ve used.

Lush claims that the citrus like scent of Whoosh will “blast away fatigue” but let’s be honest, when does a scent ever wake you up in the morning? Admittedly, the blend of citrus, rosemary and geranium oils makes for a rather beautiful scent but it doesn’t bring me out of my zombie state in the morning.


You can chill or freeze Whoosh but those options do not sound appealing to me whatsoever. I can’t comment on how a chilled and frozen Whoosh performs but the very idea of using a frozen jelly while showering kind of scares me. Maybe Lush’s idea is for us to all freeze ourselves awake.

Based on the fact very little of Whoosh seems to have disappeared since I’ve started to use it, I imagine this gorgeous blue, citrus weird goo will be in my shower for a long time. I’m sure it will be added to my Lush repurchase list at some point, maybe I should limit Whoosh’s uses to when I have enough time to chase it around the shower.
