Lush Ultra Balm


Come on ladies, hands up - how many of us have suffered the pains of gorgeous skirts and sore legs in the Summer. I am sure it is probably just reserved for those of us with shall we say a bit more thigh than the rest but it is still a problem!

As I have lost weight over the summer and we have had the lovely weather, I have been wearing a lot more pretty skirts and dresses than I usually do but along with that comes the dreaded problem. A few years ago I picked up something called Lanacane which is an anti chaffing gel which basically you rub on to create a barrier and is meant to stop the pain of chaffing. However the gel retails at £5 for a 30ml tube and in no time it seems to disappear.

When I was in town a few weeks ago I popped into Lush to get one of their face masks and I spotted this; Ultra Balm. According to the product info it says:

For bits that Chap and Chaff. Use it anywhere that needs some moisture; as a hand cream, on your hair to keep static flyaway at bay, as a lip balm, to brighten up your tattoos, on dry knees and elbows - even to tame your eyebrows. 

It was the chaff part of it which drew me in. This product retails at £8.50 for a 45g pot but it sure goes a long way! Ive been using this product most of the summer at least 2 or 3 times a week just on my legs and you can see the usage above, not really even a dent in the top. I am going to try this for some of the other things which this is suggested for but I am LOVING this for stopping the chaffing. This is for sure going to be on my to buy list for next summer!

Have you tried this? What do you think??
