The Lush Dusting Powder: the best product you haven't used yet

There are those Lush products that you have known for years and that go viral on TikTok every autumn. But every now and then, the brand suddenly comes up with something new that you have to read twice because you think: wait a minute, what is this actually? Lush is just so good at innovative, surprising products that you didn't know you were missing. The new Dusting Powders are exactly such a discovery. Not a bath bomb, not shower gel and no sea salt shampoo, but an ultra-fine body powder that makes your skin soft, subtly makes it shine and – in the case of the popular Sticky Dates – smells like you've dipped yourself in warm date syrup with vanilla.

The idea of a body powder might feel a bit old-school, but that's exactly what's fun about it. It absorbs excess moisture, makes your skin mega soft and leaves a subtle scent. Especially if you, like me, hate that sticky feeling of a body cream after showering, but still want to take care of your skin, this is really ideal. You dab it on your skin and within a few seconds everything feels smooth, dry, and soft.

Anyone who knows the Sticky Dates line immediately recognizes that sweet mix of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of sandalwood. It's one of Lush's most popular scents and for good reason. It lingers well, so well that people ask what lotion you're wearing, while in this case you've actually only used a bit of powder. The Dusting Powders also contain an almost invisible glow, giving your skin a very subtle, lightly reflective layer. Not glittery, but just enough to look fresh, healthy, and a bit glowy. Perfect for the holidays.

You can actually use the powder anywhere: under your breasts, at your hips, on the inside of your thighs (goodbye chafing thighs), but also just on your arms, neck, or décolletage. It works lightly moisture-absorbing and keeps your skin comfortable all day. The nice thing is that the powder melts into your skin so quickly that it – unlike classic talcum powder – doesn't leave a white residue on your clothes. Only when you really apply a thick layer and then step directly into a tight black sports top, might you see something, but even that you can easily wipe away with a damp cloth.

You can shop the Dusting Powders in various scents, but our favorite remains Sticky Dates. Warm, sweet, cozy, too delicious. The perfect winter scent, but in powder form.
