Magic Crystals Shower Scrub is a luxurious body scrub that provides a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. It is a perfect blend of exfoliating ingredients and enchanting fragrances that leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and rejuvenated. This shower scrub is made with natural ingredients such as salt and sugar crystals, which gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting a healthy glow. The crystals not only help to slough away dullness but also improve the texture of the skin, leaving it looking and feeling more youthful. In addition to the exfoliating properties, Magic Crystals Shower Scrub also contains nourishing ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter, which deeply moisturize the skin, leaving it hydrated and supple. These ingredients help to replenish the skin's natural moisture barrier, preventing dryness and promoting overall skin health.
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 ingredients help to replenish the skin's natural moisture barrier, preventing dryness and promoting overall skin health. Another enchanting feature of this shower scrub is its captivating fragrance. The combination of essential oils and natural fragrance extracts creates a sensory delight, transporting you to a spa-like oasis with each use.
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 "Achieve Silky Smooth Skin with the Power of Magic Crystals Shower Scrub"
1. Megan - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Magic Crystals" shower scrub. Firstly, the texture was very harsh on my skin and actually left it feeling raw and red. The scent was overpowering and chemical-like, it gave me a headache every time I used it. Additionally, I didn't notice any difference in the exfoliation or the softness of my skin after using it. Overall, I don't recommend this product at all and I won't be repurchasing it.
2. Michael - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the "Magic Crystals" shower scrub but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The granules felt too abrasive on my skin, causing it to become irritated and red. Despite the intense scrubbing, I didn't notice any significant improvement in the texture or appearance of my skin. The scent was also too strong and artificial for my liking. I would suggest trying out other options in the market before settling for this one.
3. Sandra - 2/5 - I was excited to try the "Magic Crystals" shower scrub as I had heard great things about it, but it turned out to be a disappointment for me. The scrub felt too harsh on my skin, leaving it feeling raw and uncomfortable. Although it claims to exfoliate deeply, I didn't see any noticeable difference in the texture of my skin. Additionally, the scent was overwhelming and didn't appeal to me. I would suggest trying a gentler and more effective scrub instead.
