Magic Crystals Shower Scrub is a unique product that promises to transform your shower experience. Made with the finest ingredients, this scrub is designed to exfoliate and invigorate your skin. The magic begins as soon as you open the jar and feel the luxurious texture of the crystals. The scrub contains a blend of natural minerals and salts that work together to gently polish away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion. One of the key ingredients in the Magic Crystals Shower Scrub is the use of essential oils. These oils not only add a delightful fragrance to the scrub but also provide numerous benefits to the skin.
Its ingredients include fresh mint, sage and spearmint oil as well as epsom and fine sea salt. Magic Crystals doesn’t share a scent with another Lush product it does however remind me of several of them.
Once you start to use Magic Crystals in the shower I am then reminded of Christingle body conditioner, not only for its scent in the steamy hot shower but also for how it gently stimulates your skin making it tingle a little. The salt in it appears to be slightly more chunkier, it does however do an almost identical job, I d go as far to say that my skin actually feels more hydrated after using Magic Crystals when compared to my skin after using Rub Rub Rub.
These oils not only add a delightful fragrance to the scrub but also provide numerous benefits to the skin. They help to moisturize and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. The scrub also contains a touch of magic that sets it apart from other shower scrubs on the market.
Lush ‘Magic Crystals’ Shower Scrub Review
This post is going to be on a brand that I just can’t get enough of – Lush. I’ve reviewed a few of their products on my blog before but honestly I use far more of their stuff than I review (if I reviewed every bath bomb, bath melt, and bubble bar, that I used then we’d be here for an eternity).
As I love Lush, I’ve always got my eye on their Instagram (both their account and their stories) to see when they’re coming out with new stuff. I also, luckily, have a friend who works in Lush, so she sometimes lets me know when cool new things are coming out.
I was going through my Instagram stories, minding my own business, a little while ago, and saw that this product was coming out. Now I love a shower scrub, so you bet I was straight in a message to my friend asking when it was coming out and what it was like.
Knowing that I really (really, really, really) wanted to try this, my friend, being the absolute babe that she is, bought me this and gave it to me when I was home a few weeks ago. So let’s give a huge thanks to Rhiannon (check out and follow her Instagram here) for giving me this product to try and making this review happen!
This product comes in a 300g tub and costs £10.95. There is also an option on their website to buy a 625g tub for £19.95, but I haven’t seen these larger ones in stores so it may be online only.
Description/Claims
The following description has been taken from the Lush product page:
‘Magic needn’t only be cast with a flick of a wand or a twitch of a nose, magic can come in a tub in the bathroom.
Hop in a hot shower and let the warm water dance across your skin before scooping out a handful of this scrub.
Warming and stimulating aniseed oil accompanies fine sea salt and Epsom salts to brighten, buff and polish skin while fresh rosemary and sage infusions cleanse and tone. Rinse off and let menthol crystals, peppermint and spearmint oils to leave cool tingles up and down your skin like the remnants of magic recently cast.’
First Impressions and Review
I would usually do a section on the packaging before this but, as you can see, it comes in the traditional black and white Lush packaging.
The product itself is very, very purple. It’s pretty much as bright in real life as it looks in the photo, if not a little bit more vibrant. The first thing I noticed about it, besides the colour, was the smell. The product has quite a minty smell in the pot, it’s very fresh and I do really like it.
I’ve used this product countless times now, both in the shower and in the bath and I’ve got to say that I love it. I don’t use it as much as regular shower gel just because it’s extra effort and sometimes I can’t be bothered, but that makes the times that I do use it more special.
I would say if you don’t like strong scents then you might want to stay away from this one though. That fresh minty smell only gets stronger once you exfoliate with it, and it lingers on your skin. It also has a mint feeling when applied, making you feel awake and refreshed. Although the scent is primarily mint, it does have a secondary smell once it’s all rubbed in, which is much more earthy and I believe is caused by the herbs in the product (rosemary and sage) as well as the aniseed.
This leaves my skin feeling super soft every time that I use it and makes me feel really clean and fresh due to how minty it is. My boyfriend always remarks on how good I smell after I’ve used it in the shower. I also find that I don’t need to use much as it does spread quite well, so although I’ve used it quite a few times I still have a lot left.
Overall, I love this product and would 100% recommend it. If you like shower scrubs (and mint) then this is definitely the product for you. The only thing to watch is that, as it’s a scrub, it is a little messy, so you may end up with purple on the walls of your shower, but this is easy to wash off.
If you’d like to pick this product up then you can get a 300g tub for £10.95 on the Lush website here, or pop into your local Lush shop (just be aware that you’ll probably end up leaving with much more than just this scrub)!

Reviews for "Elevate Your Shower Experience with Magic Crystal-infused Scrubs"
1. Emma - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the Magic Crystals shower scrub because I heard so many great things about it, but unfortunately, it just did not live up to the hype for me. The texture of the scrub was very gritty and harsh on my skin, which left it feeling red and irritated. Additionally, the scent was overpowering and artificial, which made the whole experience unpleasant. I wanted to love this product, but it ended up being a letdown.
2. Ryan - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Magic Crystals shower scrub, but it turned out to be a complete disappointment. The crystals were very difficult to wash off, leaving a residue on my skin even after rinsing multiple times. Not only that, but it didn't provide any exfoliation whatsoever. I felt like I was just rubbing moisturizer on my body rather than getting a deep cleanse. Save your money and look for a better alternative.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Magic Crystals shower scrub was a miss for me. I found the scent to be too overpowering and it lingered throughout the day, which was quite unpleasant. The scrub itself was too harsh on my sensitive skin, leaving it feeling raw and dry. I didn't notice any significant exfoliation or improvement in the texture of my skin. I was disappointed with this product and wouldn't recommend it to others.
4. Michael - 2 stars - I was excited to try the Magic Crystals shower scrub, but it left me underwhelmed. The texture of the scrub was too abrasive, and it felt like I was scrubbing my skin with sandpaper. It left my skin red and irritated, which was not the result I was hoping for. Additionally, I didn't notice any improvement in the smoothness or softness of my skin after using this product. I won't be repurchasing this scrub.
5. Rachel - 1 star - The Magic Crystals shower scrub was a total letdown for me. The crystals were far too rough and scratchy on my skin, causing redness and irritation. Not to mention, the scent was overly strong and artificial, making my shower experience anything but enjoyable. I didn't notice any exfoliation benefits or improvement in the appearance of my skin after using this scrub. I would not recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.
