Rub this dynamic, fizzy mask of Rhassoul mud all over the body to deeply cleanse and draw out any impurities. The product comes infused with Aloe Vera and has a calming effect on skin that might not take to kindly to rough body scrubs. The Aloe Vera provides a natural barrier against harmful environmental elements, and keeps the skin fresh well into the afternoon. ($5.95

Hand poured in solid colors using a unique blend of vegetable wax and beeswax to burn cleanly and look beautiful. The fragrances are based on country walks, fresh cut flowers and mown grass.

"Grass Shower Gel" is another garden themed offering from Lush.
Following in past successes with favorites such as Beer Shampoo, Lush has crafted something for those enamored by the scent of fresh cut grass. The new shower gel is chocked full of enzyme-rich chlorophyll, balancing sandalwood oil and uplifting bergamot. Like most of the Lush shower and body wash lines, there is a sparkle to them that invigorates the senses, essential for that first thing in the morning feeling. Interestingly the Grass Shower Gel does resemble the coloring of mulched lemon grass-- but as with all Lush products; its not advisable to consumer it. ($9.95 - $29.95)
