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!
