Temple balms aren’t new to Lush, I first tried the Whoosh Temple Balm on one of my very first visits to Lush Oxford Street. I think at the time of my first visit, both it and the Dream Time temple balm were only available in spa stores.
Fast forward to 2024 and both the Whoosh and Dream Time temple balms have been revamped with new packaging and are now available to purchase online.
Previously, the temple balms have only been sold in little tins, now they are in twisting capped tubes (a bit like a school glue stick) that you push up from the bottom. As a disabled woman who often struggles to open small tins, this has pleased me no end!
We can also all get excited as the new temple balm packaging is a part of Lush’s plastic pot return scheme. If you didn’t know already, you can bring your clean, empty pots into a Lush store to swap them for money off your next purchase!
Temple balms are meant to be applied directly on to your temples but can also be applied on all of your pulse points too. Personally, I like to put the Lush temple balms on the inside of my wrists a bit like you would a perfume.
The Whoosh temple balm is meant to be used when you’re in need of a boost, Lush’s website describes it as a ‘sweet and zesty aroma of get-up-and-go grapefruit’ as well as claiming that it is ‘perfect for perking up a dull morning.’
Whoosh contains organic jojoba oil, organic castor oil, organic candelilla wax, grapefruit oil, rosemary oil and geranium oil.
The most dominant ingredient my nose picks up on is the grapefruit, Lush weren’t wrong when they said that the Whoosh temple balms scent would leave you bright and alert.
The Whoosh temple balm glides on to your skin easily and a very small amount goes a long way, like the Dream Time temple balm it’s a very strong scent too. Only a dab of it on your pulse points is necessary.
I’m quite funny with things that could potentially make my already oily face oilier. The Whoosh temple balm is however not a greasy formula and soaks into your skin super quickly so I’m happy to use it on my temples. The scent lasts for a good few hours too.
There’s just something so energising about the Whoosh temple balms scent, it smells just like something I’d be served for breakfast to set me up for the day at a really fancy hotel!
While I can’t say for certain that it’s only the Whoosh temple balm that has helped put a spring in my step of a morning, I do seem to feel a little more cheerful on the days that I have used it.
