Storing Your LUSH Products

With a large amount of LUSH products, sometimes it can become difficult figuring out how to store them all. You don't want your LUSH bath bombs breaking, or your soaps melting away. 

To prevent this, I will be describing how I store my LUSH products. I do not have a very extensive collection of LUSH, but I do have a fair amount of products.

Listed below I have a list of tips and ideas on storing different bath, and shower products from LUSH.

1. Don't leave soap in its original packaging.
        The oils from the soap will seep away into the brown packaging paper and ruin the quality of your soaps. Instead, wrap your soaps in plastic wrap.
2. Don't leave your soaps anywhere humid, especially the shower. 
        They will melt away and you'll have wasted all of your money for nothing.
3. Remember to cut up all of your soaps.
        Using a massive soap block isn't a good idea - it will waste your soap.

4. Fresh face masks are supposed to be kept fresh.
        Keep them in the fridge. Although, make sure whoever you share the fridge with knows that this shouldn't be thrown away. I keep a sticky note on it saying, "DON'T THROW OUT!''
5. For your bubble bars and bath melts, cut them up too.
        Many bath tubs are too small to handle the amount of bubbles that are created. Your bath tub may even overflow. This saves you tons of money in the long run.

6. When you cut up your bubble bars, there will be crumbs - save them.
        Throw them in your bath. They will still make bubbles no problem.
7. After you've cut up all your bubble bars/melts, put them into plastics bags.
        This keeps them nice and fresh, and will prevent colour fading.
8. Before you cut any of your bath products, warm your knife under hot water.
        It will make cutting into the soap much easier.
9. Keep all of your LUSH products, especially bath bombs/melt/ect., in a dark, cool, dry place.
        Storing them in a dark, cool, dray place will prevent fading, and keep the products from melting.
10. Buy the aluminum tins for solid shampoos, massage bars, and body butters.
         Sure it may seem like a useless waste of money, but it will keep your products lasting, and fresh.
11. Be warned that LUSH products in packaging (shampoos, facial cleansers, ect.) can have the labels wear off in the shower.
         Leaving these types of products in the shower, under water can wear off the black label. This may, or may not bother you depending on your preference. 
12. Don't keep your LUSH products for too long.
         Since they are mainly natural products, they will only last so long. Use them in a timely manner to get the best results.
13. Don't overload yourself with soap. 
          Unlike bath bombs and bubbles bars that can only be used a couple times, LUSH soap lasts a very long time once you've cut it. You will become overwhelmed with soap if you buy too much, and waste your money.
