Posh Chocolate Body Scrub from Lush

With a brand new year comes brand new Lush products, and I’m amazed at just how many of them are body scrubs!

A brand-new body scrub has not only featured in the latest Lush Kitchen subscription box but also in the 2025 Valentine’s Day collection. Lush have also just launched five more limited-edition body scrubs, each with scents selected by the Lush Community.

Today I am reviewing the Posh Chocolate Body Scrub – (one of the five chosen to be made by the Lush Community). I was lucky enough to receive a pot of it as a gift from Lush.

The Posh Chocolate body scrub is a continuation of the fairly new, Posh Chocolate scented product line. First, we had the Posh Chocolate body wash, followed by the Posh Chocolate shower gel. Both products (especially the shower gel) are huge hits with customers so when a body scrub equivalent was released it didn’t come as much of a surprise.

The Posh Chocolate body scrub contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, organic extra virgin olive oil, cocoa powder, illipe butter, fairtrade organic mango butter, cocoa absolute, Australian sandalwood oil and vanilla absolute.

The fact that the Posh Chocolate body scrub is a sugar-based scrub had me very excited as, as much as I love the salt based scrubs, the finer texture and consistency that sugar scrubs have – I feel, just do a better job exfoliation wise.

With sugar scrubs having a finer texture they aren’t as harsh on the skin but still get the job done – exfoliating your skin perfectly all while moisturising it too.

The Posh Chocolate body scrub smells just like a tub of hazelnut and cocoa spread. I hate to state the obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many people do ask… Lush products aren’t meant to be eaten but if I was forced into eating one, I’d definitely reach for something from the Posh Chocolate line!

I scoop out about 3 fingers worth of body scrub out per use; This amount can easily scrub your whole body (you could possibly get away with less but I’m greedy). With a small amount of water, it’s easy to work the Posh Chocolate body scrub into a paste that glides across your skin taking with it any dead skin and dirt.

It’s an excellent product for both hydrating and exfoliating skin leaving it appearing brighter and refreshed in just seconds.

After using the Posh Chocolate body scrub its sweet chocolate scent remains on your skin for several hours. It leaves your skin smoother, brighter-in-appearance and well hydrated, there is no need to moisturise after using it – although, I wouldn’t say no to a Posh Chocolate scented body lotion!

Overall, I love the Posh Chocolate body scrub. I’m disappointed that, at the time of writing this review, it’s only available for a limited time as I truly believe it would do exceptionally well as a mainline product.

Sticky Dates Sugar Scrub from Lush

Sticky Dates Sugar Scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024’s Easter line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release as Lush gifted me a pot.

Back in August 2023 Lush released the Barbie Dream sugar scrub and I have never loved an exfoliation product from Lush more. I knew there and then that Lush needed to make more sugar scrubs.

Since then, we’ve had The Old Songs are Waking sugar scrub and now, Sticky Dates!

The Sticky Dates sugar scrub comes in both a 135g and 290g pot and contains caster sugar, golden caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, argan oil, extra virgin coconut oil, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid, sandalwood oil and date syrup.

As you can see in the photo below the Sticky Dates sugar scrub looks like sparkly, golden sand.

The Sticky Dates sugar scrub shares its scent with several incredibly popular products, there’s the Sticky Dates shower gel, Sticky Dates body spray and Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub just to name a few.

Its scent is quite simply DELICIOUS. It smells like a hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream.

Consistency-wise, the Sticky Dates sugar scrub is thick, it’s just like the Barbie Dream and the, The Old Songs are Waking sugar scrubs that I mentioned earlier. Perfect!

On the pot it says, ‘shower in hydrating argan oil and golden caster sugar which gently exfoliates then dissolves, leaving your skin soft and moisturised.’

After scooping out a small amount, I lathered it up and went straight to work with it.

I advise rubbing the sugar scrub in, in small, circular motions followed by rinsing it off. A small amount of the scrub goes a very long way, and I was pleasantly surprised at just how quickly it lathered up too. If you feel you need more, grab more!

I am just as impressed with the Sticky Dates sugar scrub for exfoliation as I was the other two previously mentioned sugar scrubs.

Lush really do need to make more sugar scrubs in all of their best-selling scents, all of the ones that have been released so far have been absolutely incredible. I’d love a Halloween sugar scrub in the Zesty body spray scent.

I speak so highly of Lush’s sugar scrubs because of how they make my skin feel after using them. Lush’s new sugar-scrub-formula is gentle, moisturising but incredibly scrubby at the same time.

With Sticky Dates and the other sugar scrubs, Lush have balanced the ratio of caster sugar and skin-moisturising ingredients perfectly. Sticky Dates is just as buttery as it is scrubby. Lush’s sugar scrubs are some of the best exfoliators I have ever used. There’s no need for body lotion afterwards and my skin has never looked so bright.

Overall, I can’t get enough of the Sticky Dates sugar scrub, and I won’t be surprised if the Sticky Dates sugar scrub becomes a mainline product at some point.

The Old Songs Are Waking Sugar Scrub from Lush

The Old Songs Are Waking Sugar Scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Mother’s Day line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release as Lush gifted me a pot. Since, I have bought myself another pot which I think speaks volumes on how much I like the product!

Back in August 2023 Lush released the Barbie Dream sugar scrub and I have never loved an exfoliation product from Lush more. I was therefore over the moon to see that The Old Songs Are Waking was also a sugar scrub. Mark my words, sugar scrubs are Lush’s next bestsellers, there’s just something so special about them.

The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub contains caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, babassu oil, extra virgin coconut oil, tonka absolute, vanilla absolute, bergamot oil and olibanum resinoid. As you can see in the photo below, the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub is a swirl of blue and white with a generous sprinkling of golden lustre. It looks almost too pretty to use.

Scent-wise, the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub is complicated but delicious. By complicated I mean almost impossible to describe, it’s sweet and fruity but also has non-sickly candy-like elements to it too. The tonka and vanilla absolutes mixed with the bergamot oil is a blend made in heaven. It smells so clean and fresh; I could imagine the scent selling well as a laundry detergent.

Consistency-wise, the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub is really thick, it’s most like the Barbie Dream sugar scrub I mentioned earlier but has elements of the Intergalactic body scrub too.

On the pot it says that it is a ‘smoothing sugar scrub that calls for you to sing while you bathe or shower’. After scooping out a small amount, I lathered it up and went straight to work with it.

I advise rubbing the sugar scrub in, in small, circular motions followed by rinsing it off. A small amount of the scrub goes a very long way, and I was pleasantly surprised at just how quickly it lathered up too.

I am just as impressed with the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub for exfoliation as I was the Barbie Dream sugar scrub. Lush really do need to make more sugar scrubs in all of their best-selling scents, all of the ones that have been released so far have been absolutely incredible.

I speak so highly of Lush’s sugar scrubs because of how they make my skin feel after using them. Lush’s new sugar-scrub-formula is really gentle but so incredibly scrubby at the same time.

With both the Barbie Dream and the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrubs, Lush have balanced the ratio of caster sugar and skin-moisturising ingredients perfectly. The Old Songs Are Waking is just as buttery as it is scrubby. It’s one of the best exfoliators I have ever used. There’s no need for body lotion afterwards and my skin has never looked so bright.

Overall, I am more than a little obsessed with the, The Old Songs Are Waking sugar scrub. I hope that Lush decide to make a sugar scrub a part of their main line (instead of just a limited-edition product) soon. I’d be more than happy for the, The Old Songs Are Waking to be a main line sugar scrub but am also excited to see what other sugar scrubs Lush can make us!
