To look at it, The Rough With The Smooth Body Scrub (£5.95) isn't the most enticing Lush product. It's not bright and colourful, in fact, it looks more like a chunk of a brick than anything else. It doesn't smell amazing and it doesn't have any show-off features, but it is effective. It has a subtle but deep and heady scent, teaming warming and stimulating Black Pepper Oil with relaxing and earthy Patchouli Oil, sweet and comforting Vanilla Absolute and moisturising Murumuru Butter alongside granulated sugar.
It's easiest to use in the shower, and despite getting wet it doesn't dissolve as you would imagine, considering it's scrubby texture comes from sugar. It's easy to grip onto and hold and you can guide it around your body, scrubbing away at your skin from top to toe; I find a circular motion gets the best result. I can use this solid body scrub all over my body in less than two minutes, whilst scooping out product from a pot and doing a limb at a time can take me anywhere between 5-10 minutes, so for a busy stay-at-home-working mama like me, it's a much better alternative.
Does it leave my skin as silky smooth as spending extra time and using a more expensive product would? Not quite, but if I use this daily, it does leave my skin soft and smooth. It also lasts for ages! I've been using mine daily, if not every other day, for a month now and I've hardly dented it, so cost wise I do think it works out better. It's also completely mess-free to use, which is a definite bonus!
You can pick up The Rough With The Smooth Body Scrub both in-store and online at uk.lush.com.
I love this scrub and had a good time using it but eventually it melted due to the heat in my country. 😩 Oh well, it turned into a liquid scrub rather than stay solid tho. Anyway, nice post <3

Ah, I hope mine doesn't melt! Good that you were still able to use it though :) Thank you Marsya! xo
