I was starting to get a bit annoyed with my girlfriends lush addiction untill she brougt this massage bar, now I am warming to lush a bit.
The bar is a good size and is 70g and costs £4.95 which is quite good.
There is lots of nice smelling spices in this bar and the cinnamon smell is very relaxing.
There are little beans on the top of the bar which feel really nice as it is rubbed over your back and shoulders. The cinnamon makes your skin feel really warm like deep heat muscle rub.
A massage at the end of a long day ith this bar s brilliant, it really helps you to unwind and to untie and knots in your muscles.
When my girlfrind brought this home I was not keen because it has such a stron smell but I soon changed my mind when she started to rub it into my acheing back.
I have only ever used massage oil, never a bar and I tought this would be a pain to use but it is really easy, you just rub it over the skin and the hea from the body makes it slowly melt. If you rub this around for a few minute enough will come off onto the skin for you to continue to rub with your hands.
This is better than using a liquid massageoil because it rubs in better, there is ot lots of mess left which leaves you sticking to things and it even heps to make your skin soft.
The beans feel lovely but they are so close to the surface of the bar tha after a couple of uses they fall out which is annoying because they feel so nice that I want them to stay in the bar and because you have to look around for them so they can be thrown away, especially as we have small children who like to put things in their mouth !
The bar is lasting ages, we are using it quite regularly and there is still lots left so I think it is good value for money.
You have got to wash your hands well after using this with lots of soap and warm water otherwise the smell stays on for ages and if you eat you can taste it, I had a sandwich and kept wondering what the funny taste was and i ralised I hadused the bar a few hours before and it was making my sandwich taste funny - I had washed my hands with cold water and soa but it had not taken it away so I had to wash really well with hot water and soap.
We usually use this at the end of a day before ed and it is good because it does not make you stick to the bedsheets like muscle rub or massage oil does.
I usually tell my girlfriend to stay out of the lush shop but when this runs out I will be telling her to go back for more !
