The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating.
It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever chose to use (the now illegal) micro-plastics over sugar in their exfoliation products.
Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated and today I am going to be reviewing the Gingerbread Lip Scrub from Lush’s 2023, Christmas line.
I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.
Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips and are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time.
Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and with all thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.
The Gingerbread lip scrub is brand new to Lush this year and packed full of gingerbread-baking-ingredients.
As well as caster sugar, the Gingerbread lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, granulated sugar, fair trade shea butter, fine sea salt, bergamot oil, cinnamon leaf oil, carob resinoid, ginger oil, benzoin resinoid and cocoa powder.
To use, simply scoop out a little amount of the lip scrub onto your finger and gently buff your lips with it. You can then wipe off the excess.
Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of it does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.
The Gingerbread lip scrub is a similar colour to brown sugar.
Ordinarily, I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes (after use) leave your lips with a slight tinge of whatever colour the lip scrub is.
With the Gingerbread lip scrub being a more natural colour, I am pleased to report that I didn’t get this problem.
Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of the Lush products that are super sweet, I find that the Gingerbread lip scrub is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy.
It tastes and smells more or less the same as a gingerbread cookie but it also reminds me of carrot cake too.
If I had to choose a favourite out of the new 2023 lip scrub releases the Gingerbread lip scrub would be in my top 3.
A small amount of it goes a long way as it’s such a fine and scrubby formula. My lips feel smoother with little to no effort, and I also find the formula very hydrating.
I do however recommend a quick dab of lip balm after using lip scrubs, especially in the Winter just to add an extra layer of hydration.
I think it’s safe to say that I love the Gingerbread lip scrub; It exfoliates and hydrates your lips perfectly and tastes and smells incredible too.
Lush, If you read this, we need a lip balm in this same scent for next Christmas please!
