All the Vanity Blog :: Beauty, Fashion & Shopping

The first time I’ve heard about Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub was from my friend I. Honestly, I feel really ashamed to be oblivious on what’s going on in the market today.

So when beauty blogger Liz invited me to attend the brand’s mini press event, I didn’t hesitate to push through. Unfortunately, I arrived really late, much to my dismay for not waking up early.

Anyhoos, I’m still lucky to try the product. Asian Secrets is a whitening body scrub inspired by a luxurious Javanese ritual, hence the name “lulur”.

Lulur is the most luxurious ritual usually reserved for 17th century Indonesian royalty. It was so popular it became part of countless bridal preparations, in order to beautify, smoothen and whiten the bride-to-be’s skin before her wedding day.

It contains Green Tea Extract, Vitamin E, Squalene and Olive Oil that help protect the skin, keeping it healthy, moisturised and even-toned. It has Polyethylene beads that exfoliates the skin, sloughing off dead skin cells. Sodium Lactate also helps in exfoliating and whitening the skin.

It claims to reduce skin pigmentation when used frequently whilst keeping the skin moisturised. It evens out skin tone, particularly that of dark patches on the elbows, knees, armpits and the area between the thighs. Moreover, it’s dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.

To use: apply on dry skin before shower. Gently scrub against dark spots. Rinse and see the difference.

I got 135 g, 250 g and 20 g samples. The latter is not for sale.

135 g jar

250 jar

20g small jar samples. Another beauty blogger, Kira, told me that her Asian Secrets bore these babies. So cute! They’re not for sale though.

I was also given a set of lavender tea lights that I can use whilst applying Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub for a complete spa experience in the comforts of my own home.

I’ve been using it for a few days, and here’s what I think.

Creamy Consistency, Gentle Scrubbing Effect

It has this white creamy consistency with microbeads that gently scrubs against the skin. I love the fact that the beads are quite small and non-abrasive. It’s also easily rinsed, so I wouldn’t have to spend minutes trying to rinse the product off. I can use it when I’m in a hurry! Update: I would’ve loved it more though if the beads melt into my skin (like most sugar scrubs).

So far, I can hardly claim that it has already whitened my dark areas. But, I’ll give it a month or so in order for me to see the difference. What matters most to me is that it makes my skin feel instantly soft and velvety smooth after use!

Relaxing Floral Scent

Ohh, this is the one that makes me hooked! It has this relaxing floral scent that smells sooo good. I’m a sucker for scents (lol it’s already a given), and sniffing using it makes me feel de-stressed.

Price is at Php 80 for a 135 g jar, and Php 135 for a 250 g jar. Available at leading Watson’s stores.
