This is one of Lush’s body butters, marketed as conditioner for the skin in much the same way that you use them for hair. This one is a solid exfoliator – a block of conditioning, moisturising oils, which smell great, with ground almond shells mixed in. You use it in the bath or shower after washing and rinse it off. It’s a great idea… in theory, but in practice I’m just not impressed. True enough, it makes your skin feel amazing, but the shell gets in all your, erm, nooks and crannies, and it’s a bugger to wash off and down the drain. And it just doesn’t last – seriously, you’ll be lucky to get a fortnight out of this bar, and at £4.75 a pop, that’s just not good enough. I might try one of their non-scrubby body butters at some point but for sloughing off skin I’ll be sticking to my trusty exfoliating gloves in future.

I can’t get over it! I’m using one of the bath bubble products too, which I’ll write on later. I wish I worked there so I’d get a discount on their products and not go broke everytime I spend there.
