Buffy Body Butter

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

Let me start off by saying I have painful Eczema that changes the color of my skin and gives me horrid rashes. After one use of this my rash was gone, my skin was moisturized enough to not have to use lotion, and my color was almost right back to normal. I cut my bar into 4ths to make it easier to use and to make it last longer.
While in the bath I stand up and take the piece of Buffy rub it on dry, discolored, rashy pieces. I then rub it in using the exfoliating bits that came off and then I soaked in the bath a little longer. Rinsed off and it was awesome. This is great if you are to lazy to use lotion after your bath as well.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

Let me start off by saying, I am 24 years old, African American, female and I have battled Eczema my entire life. My skin is extremely dry and I would have to put on lotion about 4 to 5 times/day only to have what is considered "normal skin". I've gone to countless doctors, who have prescribed regimens consisting of steroid creams, putting moisturizers on while wrapping my legs up with plastic wrap overnight, oatmeal baths...etc. I've done it all NOTHING worked. A friend told me to try the Buffy bar, I was skeptical because to me nothing else was left to try. So, the Lush clerk did an in-store demonstration. Instantly!, Instantly! (No, I don't think you understand...after 24 years of trying different products...INSTANTLY!) my skin was soft. I am completely Amazed at how my skin has completely transformed over the past 3 weeks of using the Buffy bar. I now only have to apply lotion once a day and I am no longer ashamed/embarrassed of my skin. The Buffy bar has crushed almonds in it, it can be a bit rough on the skin, however, it doesn't bother me. I bought my mother the same bar, the course nature of the bar is to much for her so she uses the King of skin body butter. Which is basically, the Buffy bar without the roughness and chopped exfoliation pieces, just pure moisturizer for the skin. The smell is similar to the smell of pure Shea butter (not the best in the world, however, I don't mind because it moisturizes my skin, the smell is the least of my worries. I just put on some perfume or body spray after I shower). Rarely, do I write reviews unless it's a product I truly believe in. So, I just want to Thank YOU LUSH...for giving me Hope because I am extremely self-conscious about my skin. However, now I am learning my skin is beautiful. I am going to buy your products for the rest of my life! :-)

AMAZING!!! it is a little rough going on, but it works! I leave the shower feeling like I already have lotion on! I bought this for a gift for everyone this year!!!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I don't understand how anybody could give this product a bad review. I've had extremely dry skin my whole life and lotions were always too greasy and short-lasting. Buffy leaves my skin soft for hours afterward without feeling greasy. I'm so happy to have discovered this product just in time for fall/winter, when my skin is at its driest.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I have tried King of Skin & Aqua Mirabilis.. But I love BUFFY the best!!
Not only does it moisturize, it exfoliates beautifully too. It has a mild flowery
smell, which by the way, my husband noticed:) It's made my skin soft
and gotten rid of the winter dryness & it itching. Love this product!!!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

This is a wonderful product. After hearing that it disappears quickly in the shower, I decided to take a plastic knife and cut little chunks off and take them into the shower when I needed them. This really helped prolong the life of my Buffy Bar. When I used it for the first time, I got out of the shower & thought "eww I'm so greasy" But after about 20 min, my skin was super soft and no longer greasy. It was the best moisturizer I have ever used! I would definitely not use this if you are in a hurry, because it takes time for it to soak in completely before you can put clothes on. (this is perfect to use before bed.) LOVE IT!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I love Buffy. I used to work at LUSH back in the day and Buffy was one of my staples. My best friend used to gawk over my skin, she was dying to find out what I used to make my skin glow like a goddess (her words not mine) and what I used to make my skin so baby soft.
Fast forward a few years later.
After I stopped working at LUSH I had a momentary lapse in judgement and decided to use drugstore brands of scrubs and such, which were cheaper, but never worked as well as my beloved LUSH items.
About a week and a half ago I decided that I was switching over my bathroom - no more stupid grocery store cleansers - and re-stocking with LUSH again. Of course Buffy was on my list of must-haves and I have fallen in love again.
Buffy is expensive, but worth it. My boyfriend could not stop fawning over how good I smelled after my first LUSH shower (also used LUSH ocean salt, toner, moisturizer and body soap) and when I got into bed he couldn't keep his hands off me. Yesterday he touched my skin and practically fell over, and said "You have the BEST skin, it's sooooo soft."
It's true.
I'll never live without Buffy again. Since I started using it again, I notice a huge difference myself. Yes it may feel a bit greasy to some after getting out of the shower, but let it soak in a while. You'll even feel the difference in softness and smoothness the next day, your skin will feel like velvet. And your skin will absolutely glow.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I JUST used up the very last tiny sliver of my big Buffy bar! And I miss it so much already! I tried Buffy and King of Skin at around the same time, and even though I like both smells and LOVE when they have done for my (literally) bleeding elbows - I prefer the big Buffy bar for these reasons:
1) I love the exfoliating that Buffy does! It's just like scratching a bothersome itch - SO relaxing and satisfying. And you can't ever over-do it, because once my skin becomes moisturized, Buffy just glides over it and I can save the remainder for another shower!
2) The smell! It smells like the way I believe going to Provence, France would. Just heaven. Lavender. Yum. I can't even think of a coherent sentence to describe how wonderful smelling this bar is!
3) It works! My skin has never looked better! I get everything: eczema, rosecea and those awful little red arm bumps and this maybe TMI but my butt sometimes get blemishes too (oh the horror of working in an office where I sit and stiffle my poor butt's pores!) - everything has vanished or drastically reduced with a daily scrub of Buffy in the morning.

I have been very careful about exposing my bar to water and only use it at the end of my shower out of a water stream and it lasted me about 3 weeks with once daily use in the morning. So I do think this is a good value. (In comparison, I used King of Skin for about half that amount of time when I tried it).

My only complaint is I wish it would last even longer! Because I love to use it daily! My once a month Buffy habit could be quite an expensive addiction... And I did have a bit of a problem using my last tiny sliver this morning, it broke up and crumbled a bit - I tried to mush it together for one last scrub and that seemed to work okay, but it's not the same as when you are using a big bar. I would probably buy another bar earlier instead of waiting to run out and then repurpose. Then I could mash my last tiny bit into the bigger bar so I could use it better next time. That would be my only suggestion!

My shower will certainly miss Buffy until I can order another one! Love this bar!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

Buffy was my first LUSH product - a Christmas gift from a friend a few years back - and it is my favourite of the three LUSH body butters I've tried. It's nice and exfoliating without being too harsh for daily use, it lasts quite a while (I don't remember exactly how long), and it smells nice without being too strong. It's indicated for rear ends but I say it's good for anywhere on the body. Buffy = love!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

A LUSH employee demo'ed this product on my arm in the store, and I'm so glad she did! A little rough, so if you can't stand pain, you might not enjoy this product, but to me, it's well worth the momentary discomfort... it IS an exfoliator, after all. ;) I have habitually dry skin (regardless of season) but am too impatient to take the time to slather on body lotion and wait for it to absorb before getting dressed... who has that kind of time?! In one step, Buffy exfoliates and nourishes, leaving behind soft and well-moisturized skin. Fairly pricey, so if you're on the fence, try it and decide for yourself if it's worth it or not. For me, well, it's my newest favourite LUSH product!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

Buffy is awesome because it exfoliates (great for bumps on the back of your arms) while it moisturizes like crazy. If you have tattoos, give 'em a rub and watch the color pop. Buffy also works great for at-home pedicures. I bought the 7 ounce size and it lasted over six months for me.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

Addicted to this. Too bad it goes so fast. Love the exfoliation & moisture that lasts. Wish it could smell better. Don't over use it in one shot, it'll melt too much or feel greasy.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I mainly use this on my legs and arms - it's too rough for my torso. My legs get very dry in the winter, and this so far has kept the itching at bay. It's amazing, and so far it seems to last forever!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I use buffy while im in the shower right after I shave I rub this all over my body and let it soak in for a minute or so then rinse the excess little bits off of my skin. My skin feels so soft and smooth when I get out my skin is no longer dry its moisturized and not greasy at all. You dont need lotion after you use buffy either. I have ecszema badly during the winter time buffy has been amazing in keeeping my skin mositurized and exfoiliated. The only bad thing is the smell is kind of odd not bad but not good (thats why I gave buffy a 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5) It fades away though not a long lasting smell. I would recommend this product and I have repurchased this item.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

Felt gross and greasy after using this!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I use this when I'm short on time. It exfoliates and moisturizes and leaves my skin soft and smooth all day. Just a quick rub in the shower and I'm off for the day!. This is perfect for my dry sensitive skin. thanks LUSH, love this product.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

This is my first purchase from LUSH, and I usually don't care about products enough to write reviews, but this is amazing!! My skin is so soft without having to use lotion (at all :D). My only qualm is that it takes away from the smell of the body wash that I use right before it, although the smell of it is not particularly bad.

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

this is definitely one of my favorite products made by LUSH! it leaves my skin so soft and feeling great. however, i do wish the smell was a little better, it doesn't smell bad but a little musky. it doesn't bother me though i LOVE it!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I was a little iffy about buying Buffy at first, because I had read reviews saying that it was so scratchy it hurt and that it was horribly greasy. I am so pleased to say that this is not the case. I LOVE the scrubby bits of ground rice because it feels like you are getting a full body massage along with silky smooth moisturization. I'm sure Buffy would hurt if you were gouging it into your skin, but this is unnecessary, as it glides smooth and exfoliates at the slightest pressure.

As for being "greasy", I have had no problems with it. Based on some reviews it sounded as if it would be like rubbing baby oil all over, which IS unpleasant. Buffy is nothing like that. Think of the smooth, glossy feeling of a fresh shave and that is how Buffy feels. It absorbs very fast, so there is no need to wait for your skin to dry before you get dressed.

All in all, I LOVE Lush, and Buffy is the best thing they have! BUY!

Comments about LUSH Buffy:

I got this to see if it would help the bumps on my arms, and while it seems to do a decent job, I HATE the way it smells on my skin. The bar itself smells great, but on my skin it's nasty and unpleasant. It's a shame, because the musty smell is noticeable enough to me that I won't go out without washing it off with something that can get rid of the scent, so I can only use this product if I'm not planning on being near other people.
