Elae

The daily lemming
According to Lush, a "best-selling classic": Ocean Salt. "Refreshing, exfoliating, hydrating...what doesn't this scrub do?

It comes from lime oil as well as limes extracted in vodka to brighten and tone. Just one scrub with this beauty and you'll see why it's so popular!" $22 for 120g.
