New Launches in Lush India

For the Body

According to newspapers, a family in India are believed to have a healing mud pond that hundreds of pilgrims have descended on to bathe in and pray at. While LUSH can’t guarantee any miraculous curative action, here at LUSH we have long believed in the therapeutic benefits of mud and use it in many skin treatments.

Glorious Mud body mask (Rs 500) …

it’s made with deep cleansing Rhassoul mud to cleanse and tone the skin. To be used in the bath or shower (or sauna if you have one), simply wet this block and rub yourself all over, leave it to dry for a while and then rinse it off. Not only will the mineral rich Rhassoul mud deeply cleanse the skin and help to draw out any impurities, but there’s also sesame oil to soften and aloe vera to calm and soothe. Once washed off your skin is left unbelievably soft and delicately fragranced with the delicious scent of vanilla. So there you go, not miraculous but definitely a natural wonder worth wallowing in! Perfect for brides!

Brimstone body scrub (Rs 410)

… this scrub uses an ingredient never been used by Lush before – sulphur powder. Based on the Caribbean sulphur springs where people bathe in order to relieve their skin complaints, such as eczema, we’ve put sulphur powder in this invigorating scrub to help improve the general healthiness of the skin. Use it in the shower or bath to ensure that both your skin and the bar are nice and wet before rubbing it onto any dry patch of skin that could do with a vigorous scrub. It will start to fizzle as soon as it comes into contact with water, exploding with fine sea salt for an exfoliating scrub that will help to stimulate sluggish circulation. There’s also a blend of beautiful essential oils – lemongrass oil, jasmine absolute and ylang ylang oil – to leave a delicate floral scent on the skin.

Also, if used in the bath then the sea salt will end up in the bath water and make for a lovely, detoxing soak. This product is Vegan

THE SCENT OF SHOWER :-

Summer Pudding soap (Rs 410 for 100g) …

this soap is a little bit scrubby, a little bit softening and a whole lot lovely! Reminiscent of a summer pudding, with a fruity, cherry and almond scent … it’s like a typical English summer all squished together! It has whole cherries in there, exfoliating almonds and refreshing lemons. You’ll be pleased to hear we decided to leave out the soggy bread bit though! This product is Vegan

PROTECT YOUR SKIN

9-5 cleansing lotion (Rs 500 for 100 gm) …

a liquid cleanser and make-up remover for all skin types – use morning and night to cleanse away all the days grime. Another recipe from Lush’s back catalogue, this one used to be called ‘Orchid Cleanser’ and is back due to popular demand from Lush’s forum. Made with fresh Singaporean orchids for softness and a delicate floral fragrance, along with lashings of almond oil. Almond oil is incredibly softening and easily absorbed, it’s very rich in vitamin A and soothes, protects and nourishes the skin. Simply smooth onto your skin and wipe away with a damp, warm flannel or cotton pad. It will remove all make-up and any trace of the day … even if you wear as much as the divine Ms Parton herself!

Lovely Jubilees (RS 1810 for 100 gm) …

is Lush’s new breast cream – to help tone and tighten the sensitive skin around the bust and décolletage area. Packed with meadowsweet infusion and tiger lily petals to tighten and firm the tissue, this cream also contains beeswax, cocoa butter and organic oils like evening primrose, almond and avocado to deeply soften. Almond oil is especially beautiful on the skin as it’s high in nutrients, rich in vitamin A and E and works to soothe, protect, condition and nourish the skin. The fragrance is a blend of floral, most notably sensual jasmine and ylang ylang – both of which are also well known aphrodisiacs, so be careful how much you rub on! There’s also beautiful rose infusion to add a delicate, feminine note to the mix. Apply in upward, circular motions.

Ultrabalm (Rs 900 for 45g) …

If you have any dry skin you are ashamed of then this is ideal … Lush’s new is our eco-friendly version of Vaseline, without the petroleum jelly but with a super softening, emollient base of rose wax, candelilla wax and jojoba oil instead. Perfect for any skin type, this multi-purpose balm can be used as lip balm; to alleviate any dry skin; as a cuticle softener; to shape brows into place; to banish hard skin on heels and elbows; to soothe sore, chapped hands; or to calm sunburn. Be sure to have one with you at all times for any necessity!

And not forgetting your lips, one of the most delicate and sensitive areas on your body :-

Double Choc tinted lip balm (Rs 680) …

for those who prefer their lips a more neutral colour, there’s this brand new vegan tinted balm. Flavoured with black treacle, cocoa, vanilla and fair trade icing sugar, this one will leave your lips feeling super soft and tasting delicious. Double Choc also has a deep rich colour, with hazel and brazil nut oils, as well as extra virgin coconut oil to intensively moisturise and soften. It will give your pout a more natural look.

This tinted lip balm can also be used as a cream blusher too! Simply dab a little onto your cheeks and rub in. Both will add a little healthy colour to your cheeks and define cheekbones. Isn’t that simply WOW!

SOLID BODY TINT :-

Black Stockings solid body tint (Rs 810) …

A solid body tint that, to help make dark skin shine and look brighter rather than dry and ashen. Not just for dark skin though, this stunning bar can even help to tan the palest of legs! With a spicy, Caribbean inspired fragrance, rub onto legs for that holiday feeling. Also good for arms and décolletage area, the skin is left delicately fragranced with rose, jasmine and sandalwood.
