Lush- Rub Rub Rub Body Wash

There are few things I get excited about more than a gift box from Lush. After 5 years together, my bf finally figured this out and got me the Hello Gorgeous Gift Box for my birthday. Everything in the box is so adorable and wonderful, but I felt so amazing after using this shower gel/scrub!

First, the smell: with sea salt, lemon juice, and jasmine, it is so clean in the most natural way. The scent lingered all day making me feel fresh and energized. This cleanser is perfect for me because I'm not allowed to wear perfume at work, but this stays right next to my skin so I can enjoy it, but it doesn't affect the atmosphere around me.

The smell isn't typically feminine, which I like, because it doesn't distract my senses or draw attention, it is just a nice, clean smell to be surrounded by. My favorite thing about this and about all lush products is the simplicity. Simple ingredients, a simple scent, and simple to use.

The first ingredient is a fine sea salt which is a welcome change from the rough and grainy textures of some scrubs. The salt gently polishes skin while it cleanses. Something to note about this cleanser- Don't use this if you have any cuts, burns or broken skin anywhere on your body, salt and lemon juice plus open wounds equals major pain, but it's perfect otherwise!

As is typical with most natural cleansers, it doesn't really foam. If that is a deal breaker for you, then read no further, but if you are like me and don't need lather to feel clean this will more than do the job! There honestly isn't a single thing I don't like about it.

I always turn to Lush when I'm craving something potent and all-natural, and I've never met a product or salesperson from Lush that I didn't like. That is saying a lot. Not only am I super particular and judgmental about cosmetics, I am 100 times more judgmental of sales people. Either the salespeople ignore you or they are too pushy (I'm looking at you, Sephora), and I am very stubborn, so if I am not treated like a valued customer I won't shop at that store (trust me there is a whole list of stores I will never go back to for this very reason).

Needless to say the salespeople at every Lush store I've been to have always been so kind and cheerful and helpful. So I want to say thank you, Lush Glendale and Lush at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, thank you so much for making my beauty addiction a pleasure!
