LUSH LIFE - New Members of the LUSH Family!

Hello, Hello, Hello LUSHies!

So as we all know, there's been a ton of new products and product lines flowing out of LUSH headquarters lately; those crazy Brits never stop inventing! But some of you may not know about some awesome new items that are the most recent additions to the LUSH family.

Introducing:

Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar
This zippy little shampoo bar smells like a lime tonic and is choc full of lovely ingredients to sort out congested scalps and bring limp, oily hair back to life!
There's a healthy dose of Juniperberry Oil, whose astringent properties will quickly banish grease and oil from stringy hair and clear the slate for a scalp with problems in the oil-production department. A combo of lemon and lime oils will give the hair an extra boost of clean and shine, while also contributing to the delicious, fresh scent. Lastly, rosemary and lavender decoctions jump in to save the day for the scalp in need of some balance; osemary has been used for hundreds of years for its antibacterial capabilities, while lavender is known for its ability to balance and soothe the scalp.
Jumping Juniper is perfect for balancing sebum production and giving you soft, shiny, clean hair.



Snake Oil Scalp Treatment
The Snake Oil Scalp Treatment is the perfect solution for anyone who suffers from dry, itchy, flaky scalp and/or dandruff. The LUSH website describes it best, saying it's great for anyone whose "scalp is shedding like a snake".
You see, dandruff is caused by a lot of things, such as yeast-like microbes, and it's made worse by stress (which is, ironically, often a result of having loads of dandruff).
Lavender oil, as mentioned when we were discussing Jumping Juniper, is antimicrobial and super soothing for a variety of skin conditions, including this one. Tea tree oil kills dandruff-causing microbes, while peppermint oil sorts out the scalp and soothes burning or redness. Then the cocoa butter base softens and moisturizes the scalp to reduce that terrible itchy feeling.
Take the bar and melt it in your fingertips, then work the melted product all over your scalp. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so, then wash it out with the Soak N' Float Shampoo Bar. Use regularly until your dandruff is a thing of the past.
The smell of this one is quite delightful. Imagine if the Soak N' Float Shampoo Bar and the Hair Doctor Scalp Treatment had a baby: it would be as effective as this on dandruff, and would smell the same, too. It has a very subtle campfire scent like the Soak N' Float, but a delightful peppermint aroma like the Hair Doctor.



Miranda Soap!

Miranda soap is a super fruity and fresh hand & body soap. It's filled with fresh, organic kiwi fruit which is rich with vitamin c, toning and brightening on the skin, gently cleansing, and the seeds act as a mild exfoliant.
There's also a bit of bergamot oil, which provides some of the fruity citrus scent, then ylang ylang petal and juniperberry oils tone, clear up congested skin, and refresh.
It's named after Carmen Miranda, the famous samba singer who wore a headpiece filled with tropical fruits. This soap is delightfully fruity and rather reminiscent of the Angel's Delight soap from Christmas 2010. It was resurrected from the Retro line for a reason, because it's fabulous!
