REVIEW - ASIAN SECRETS Lulur Indonesian Whitening Body Scrub

Happy New Year!
This is a late greeting but better late than never :) 

Part of my New Year's resolution is to regularly write for this blog. I know it's nearly close to impossible but I am more determined these days. (Yeah!)

Anyways, here's my second review for the year. 

*************************************

I love scrubs. I love body scrubs. If it ain't too harsh to have a body scrub everyday, I would've used all of the body scrubs I know everyday. 

I'll be doing a review for Asian Secrets Lulur Indonesian Whitening Body Scrub

Asian Secrets went on a hype I guess last 2011 and 2012. I've tried this one last 2011 but this blog wasn't born yet (or at least the blogger was still an embryo in blogging). 


THE PRODUCT:
Name: Asian Secrets Lulur Indonesian Whitening Body Scrub
I guess its already obvious that this is a body scrub. 

Net Content: 135g 
Price: PhP130
Available at your local supermarket / stores / Watson's




This is the tub. It doesn't come with a spatula so better use a plastic spoon when you scoop the contents. 

Here's a complete (and official!) product description from UNILAB website: 

Ingredients: Tocopheryl acetate, Mineral Oil, Camellia Sinensis extract, Olive Oil, Glycerin, Squaline, Dimethicone, Titanium dioxide  

Dermatologist-tested 

Hypoallergenic 

Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub is a beauty treatment inspired by a most luxurious Indonesian ritual called Lulur. The ritual was originally intended for the bride-to-be in order to beautify, smoothen, and whiten her skin before her wedding day. Lulur originated from the royal palaces of Java, Indonesia and products inspired by this traditional treatment are still used by Indonesian women today.  

The benefits of Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub:
It gently exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells to soften the skin and give it a radiant glow.  

Frequent usage reduces skin pigmentation and evens out skin tone by getting rid of dark patches especially in areas prone to darkening such as the elbows, knees, armpits and the area between the thighs.

It contains Vitamin E and Green Tea extract, powerful antioxidants that protect your skin from free radicals to keep it healthy and young-looking.It also contains Squalene and Olive Oil that help maintain moisture in your skin.

And here's the direction on how to use the product: 
Scrub all over you skin especially the dark areas while it is dry to remove impurities, dead skin and dirt. Rinse with water. 

 Here's what's inside: 

The scrub has a cream-like consistency and has fine beads for exfoliating purposes. 

The scent: I LOVE THE SCENT. It smells like Tommy Girl!

  


Lemme get straight to the point on this.
THIS IS A MUST BUY if you are looking for an affordable but worth it body scrub. 

Here are the PROS: 
1. It's easily available at supermarkets and drugstores. No need to order online. 
2. It's affordable. The 135g tub is just PhP130 and I think the bigger tub is around  PhP250-280. 
3. The SCENT (again, the scent is similar to Tommy Girl) and it also lingers to your skin (but not for a long time though). 
4. The EXFOLIATING 'power'. Yes, this scrub DOES exfoliates. It leaves your skin feeling smooth after using. 
5. The SQUEAKY-clean feeling after each use. 
6. The beads are gentle and skin-friendly. Will not leave your skin red and irritated. 


CONS: 
1. The WHITENING-effect. I've finished around 2 tubs of this but I haven't notice the whitening effect. If you are after the whitening-effect, I guess this might not be for you. 

Is this a must-buy?
Yes, it is. :)
