Porridge For Your Skin
Leave it to LUSH to come up with yet another innovative way to treat your skin–with porridge! I had a chance to try their new Porridge Soap, which is a sweetly scented soap designed to soothe sensitive skin. It actually contains real oats for exfoliating! I thought that was pretty interesting, but what won me over was the sweet, calming scent, and the fact that it was so moisturizing. I feel like most bar soaps start feeling dry right upon contact with your skin, which is not the case with the Porridge Soap. It feels smooth and creamy, and starts softening your skin right there in the shower. It was also very gently cleansing, even with the oats, so it is indeed nice for sensitive skin. The Porridge Soap is a keeper in my shower, and I definitely urge you to check it out at lush.com!

strangely i like the smell of oatmeal….maybe b/c it reminds me of oatmeal cookies, so i’m pretty intrigued. i’ll have to check it out!
you can buy oatmeal soap OR you can fill a sock with oats, tie a knot and soak in the bath with it and eventually the oatmeal breaks down and using it as soap smells soothing and it makes you skin INCREDIBLY soft and is great for shaving your legs…sounds odd to bath with a sock but i use it a couple times a month and IT WORKS, and is especially lovely for skin that got too much sun.
I was given a free sample of this soap last time I was in Lush and I’m now addicted to it. It smells absolutely divine and lasts for ages!
Hi Barret, thanks for the tip! I had no idea about using oats.
Lucy, I agree that it’s wonderful! I’ve also realized that it is easier to use as an exfoliator as you use it more and the oats become more apparent.
That looks like a piece of fermented cheese… Not really a fan of Lush, but they smell good though.
