Lush Ocean Salt

I first tried Ocean Salt when buying a few products in Lush and when I reached the till they offered me a lucky dip where by you could win another product for free! Well who was I to argue with that. So my free product was this one and I couldn't wait to try it out!

It comes in a little black tub and inside you'll find a grainy bright blue and white paste that smells like salt and mint. After wetting your skin you gently use it to exfoliate. The grains can sometimes be a little hard for my skin, usually after the tub is about half way through and I'm thinking this is something to do with the remaining contents getting wet whilst I'm using it in the shower. However in general this goes on really nicely and starts to melt under your fingers. Once washed off your skin feels tightened and fresh.

With continued use I found this really cleared up my combination skin. I don't tend to get many spots, but I do get oily patches around my nose and dry flaky skin on my forehead. Within two weeks this had disappeared.

I would strongly recommend this product; it's just as shame that it's rather expensive!

This is the only cleanser that was able to clear my skin up. As soon as i quit using it my face broke back out. Smells great. Exfoliates skin.

I love this product. Lush makes natural products that always leave you smelling great and feeling soft!

I love this scrub. It is a little pricey for me, but it works so well. I have oily, spot prone skin, and I use this day and night.

I love Lush Ocean Salt! It smells very nice too.

LUSH Ocean Salt scrub is my favourite scrub. I use it 3 or 4 times a week and find that it get rids of any dry or flaky skin and since I started using it I have been getting way less blackheads on my face. I have combination skin which tends to get greasy around the nose and chin and slightly dry at the sides of my face. When you open the black box it comes in, you will be presented with a very attractive looking blue and white scrub which contains large and small grains of salt. It also has lime, coconut, grapefruit and avocado butter and smells lovely. You only need to use a small amount (just over pea-sized) to see results. It is quite tricky to use as the scrub tends to fall off your face as it is quite grainy and not really creamy enough to stick to you face if you don't apply it carefully. Id recommend wetting your face with warm water first, then take out a small amount on the tip of your finger. Then carefully spread over the face, rubbing and massaging GENTLY. The large grains will seem like they are too big to do their job properly but fear not as when you rinse it off your face will be smooth, soft, fresh and clearer. Yes it really does make your skin clearer. However I find that the lids on Lush's black packaging are sometimes tricky to put back on as it seems that one side wont shut properly no matter how many times you push it down. I find that pressing on the centre of the lid helps but even sometimes this can fail. I highly recommend this scrub to people who have combo/oily skins. Sensitive skin users should probably try Angels on bare skin first though. I have used this too and found it lovely but not cleansing enough for my combo skin.

Lush Ocean Salt is a vey refreshing product, but over-use will dry up any skin type. It stings badly when put onto the skin. I would not say that it makes a wonderful difference, just a bit of a pick me up.
