The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 November 2020 11 Comments

Pricy but tempting: "Wake up! SALT + Café Kumquat Body Scrub is simply delicious for your skin. You'll fall in love with its calming yet invigorating exfoliation. Natural sea and mineral salts join ground coffee in a rich blend of avocado and safflower oil. Skin appears moisturized, revived and softened. Excellent for providing a smoother skin appearance." $42 for 344g at Bergdorf Goodman.

A lemming for fans of scrub soaps: three limited edition bars from Kiehls. "Gently cleanse and exfoliate skin with our Limited-Edition Body Scrub Soap. This botanical-based exfoliating bar soap helps prepare skin for moisturizing and is formulated with Glycerin and Ground Jojoba Seeds." In Grapefruit, Coriander or Lavender. $12 each.

According to Lush, a "best-selling classic": Ocean Salt. "Refreshing, exfoliating, hydrating...what doesn't this scrub do? Our cult classic scrub has a mineral-rich mix of fine and coarse sea salt for serious exfoliation, balanced with coconut oil and avocado butter to soften the skin. That punchy citrus scent? 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.

My latest list from Lush: Raspberry Milkshake Bar Soap ("This creamy bar of soap leaves skin feeling divine and smelling delicious. Fair trade organic cocoa butter, extra virgin coconut oil and almond milk deliver skin so soft and supple you'll be looking to lather up all day long. An uplifting scent of fruity davana oil smells oh-so-decadent, and the pièce de résistance—fresh raspberry juice—gives skin a comforting cleanse."; $9.95) and Mamma Mia Scrub ("This sweet body scrub is filled to the brim with naturally exfoliating fine sea and Himalayan salts, as well as toning and brightening pink grapefruit puree. Its sweet scent comes from a combination of vanilla, bergamot and rosewood, while a healthy dose of rose clay gently cleanses your limbs as you buff away winter dryness."; $15.95).

I have a bit of a weakness for scented hand creams. I buy too many, and then I tend to get more as presents. At the moment, sitting at my desk, there are a total of 11 hand creams within easy reach (yes, I'm sorry I counted). So I won't be buying these cute little tubes from Sephora, and unless you are fresh out of hand cream, you don't need the Almond Hand Balm either (above left; "Pamper your hands with Sephora Collection hand balms. The smooth formulas nourish and take care of your hands every day, without leaving your skin feeling oily or sticky."; also available in Rose and Coconut; $5 for 30 ml). I have no need for Honey Hand Polish (above right; "With gentle and exfoliating sugar particles, the honey hand scrub blurs imperfections and smooths the skin."; $5 for 30 ml) and I am dubious as to whether anybody does, but what do I know.
