In need of a new body scrub, it was Lush to the rescue with their recently launched product Co-Mingle. Described as being a 3-in-1 Lavender Dream, it’s an absolute delight to use.
With Spring and Summer on their way, my legs have been suitably hidden underneath leggings or cozily wrapped in chunky knit tights, away from the cold and blistering wind, much like the rest of me! As the sun (finally) looks like she is to stay for a few weeks, it is time to remove the scales and the lizard skin and try my best to look presentable! Starting with a body scrub.
Packaged inside the tell-tale black pot, Co-Mingle is a cute pastel pink shade, reminiscent of Strawberry Angel Delight in colour and in many respects texture too. Lightweight and an almost whip-like mousse feeling as it touches the skin, but there is a light scrubbiness, not too harsh or overly abrasive.
Like all Lush products, Co-Mingle is packed full of amazing ingredients, in this case it starts with ground tagua nut and bamboo combo which give it that ability to exfoliate those dead and dry skin cells without being too rough and without scratching the skin. Added to that we also have the inclusion of
- Glycerine which helps lock in moisture and effective ingredients, such as essential oils, into the skin.
- Cypress Leaf Infusion which helps stimulate blood circulation and reduce congestion
- Almond Oil - which is soothing, moisturising and packed with vitamin E
- Organic Brazil Nut Oil - which moisturises, protects and gives a gorgeous glow
- Vanilla Pod Infusion - which has soothing and antimicrobial properties as well as a sweet scent
- Fair Trade Shea Butter - is an emollient which moisturisers and softens the skin
- Argan Oil - knows for its ability to soothe, condition and moisturise the skin
- Cupuaçu Butter - often used as a vegan alternative to lanolin, it moisturises and protects the skin
- Lavender Oil - Cleanses, balances and soothes the skin as well as being relaxing and calming
- Goji Berry Juice - antioxidant rich, it has cleansing and toning abilities for the skin
- Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter - Moisturising and soothing for the skin
- Carrageenan extract - helps to enhance hydration and soothing of the skin.
Those are just some of the ingredients within this scrub and anyone who shops regularly with Lush knows that each ingredient has its purpose.
On the skin, this scrub is designed to be used when wet. You need just the smallest, walnut sized amount, mix it in the palm of your hands and then apply to your skin, ideally in circular motions to your legs, arms, body and if you have time, paying attention to those areas which are drier than others - knees, elbows, shins and I’ve used it on my feet too!
Priced at £18 for a 225g tub, if used once a week, it is going to last quite a good amount of time, slightly on the expensive side, but an absolute treat and better still when combined with the Sleepy collection!
