The Lush Massage Bars Are My Shortcut to Radiant Winter Skin—These 7 Are My Must-Haves

Anyone will love this neroli-and-lavender-scented moisturizer, and that’s why I think Therapy is the best bar in the brand’s lineup. Whether you want to gift it to a loved one (and truly, it could be anyone, since this is a very unisex scent) or keep it for yourself, neroli and lavender are known for calming, soothing aromatherapy benefits. Who doesn’t need a reminder to slow down in today’s ultra fast-paced world?

​Review: “Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on this! It’s divine! Best texture out of all the massage bars. Also, am I the only one... it smells peachy to me, not lavender. Anyway, I love the smell too. I use it as regular lotion.” — Lush

Whether you’re expecting or experiencing stretched skin for other reasons, The Bump is a fabulous addition to your body care routine. The Murumuru butter base locks in moisture without feeling too greasy, and it’s also known to help with skin conditions like eczema. So if your skin is particularly delicate or reactive, make a beeline for this one. Add lavender, neroli, and chamomile, and you’ll be in fragrance heaven with each application, too.

​Review: “I had been using a different brand’s belly serum and balm twice a day that was gifted to me when I first found out I was pregnant, but it's too pricey to restock, so I decided to try this product out. I'm IN LOVE with the way it makes my skin feel, and it doesn’t feel greasy or sticky on the skin. I also put some on the rest of my body as a really nice moisturizer or lotion. 23 weeks pregnant and no stretch marks yet. Will keep using even after pregnancy!” — Lush

If you’ve struggled with any form of insomnia, then you know that you’ll try just about anything to get some shuteye. That’s why I think the Deep Sleep bar could make a fabulous addition to a bodycare routine that prioritizes sleep and restoration. A wind-down routine is essential for getting your body in the right headspace to sleep, so why not let a triple dose of lavender, chamomile, and neroli—plus the soothing qualities of magnesium—help you along the way?

​Review: “I literally cannot live without this bar! I rub it on the bottoms of my feet every night and sleep so great!! My husband and kids now request it every night as well!” — Lush

Smelling good is a lifestyle, and if you subscribe, you probably like to smell divine all the time, even when you’re about to go to sleep. For all my floral scent-lovers out there, Comforter Rose smells like, you guessed it, rose, neroli, and jasmine, plus the slightly nutty fragrance of cocoa and shea butter—both of which are in the base of this bar. It’s a gorgeous scent to layer with your favorite rose perfume or wear on its own. Plus, the bar is pink!

​Review: “It honestly smells like cereal milk and rose jam mixed together. I'm absolutely in love! I have a disability which makes it hard to function physically on my bad days. The bar makes self-care easy and accessible; the scent is my favorite and my signature; I always reach for it.” — Lush

Unfortunately, I am a chronic pain girlie, so not only are massages a regular part of my self-care rituals, but the products that I use for them also matter to me. Whether you also deal with chronic pain or are often sore from working out, the After massage bar uses magnesium, spearmint, peppermint, and eucalyptus oils to help loosen tight muscles and encourage mindfulness, an imperative part of anyone’s recovery journey, long-term or otherwise.

​Review: “I really like this smell. It’s fresh and soothing, and I use it before bed. This is my favorite massage bar out of them all.”— Lush

No one does themed drops like Lush, and the Princess Power bar is another example. This limited-edition bar is in collaboration with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and it not only has the moisturizing properties of any other massage bar thanks to a cocoa and shea butter base, but it also has a citrus-floral scent. Plus, its pink-and-blue colorway is absolutely adorable, and it leaves behind a peach shimmer.

​Review: “This is my favorite Lush product. I had to buy several of them for my daughter and me because it's limited edition. Very lovely fruity candy-like scent that lasts forever, and the shimmer stays on my skin for hours! I applied some on my hands, and after washing my sink full of dishes, to my surprise, the shimmer was still there!” — Lush

Vanilla obsessives, start your search for a Lush massage bar right at the Turmeric Latte stand. Vanilla, benzoin, tonka, and cocoa scent this delicious amber-gourmand bar, and the brand’s signature cocoa-and-shea-butter base makes the scent last for hours on the skin. If smelling good enough to eat is your thing, add this to your rotation stat.

​Review: “I love love love this. I am newer to Lush, and this was the second massage bar I bought. It was sold out at my local stores, and since I live in a hot state, there was no way I was buying it online. So I patiently waited for it to come back in stock, checking on the app every day, and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. The smell is so comforting and almost nostalgic for some reason. I put it on every night before bed. I couldn’t recommend anything more than this massage bar!” — Lush
