New Asian Secrets Variants

I really need to be visit drugstore aisles more often. It seems that I'm missing valuable news! If a reader didn't tell me about the new Asian Secrets variants, I wouldn't have known until oh I don't know, next year. Tsk. Anyways, yes it's true: there are now more Asian Secrets products to love!

AS now has two more versions of its best-selling lulur scrub: Licorice and Mulberry Extract (purple) and the Seaweed Extract with Vitamin E (blue). They both smell nice, though they're more on the soapy kind.

I still prefer the original Asian Secrets Lulur with green tea and jasmine since it reminds me of being in a spa, versus being in a garden variety shower. Still, if you didn't like jasmine, these new variants are worth looking into. I like the Seaweed one better between the two. ;)

Other than scent, however, these new lulur versions are basically the same as the original in terms of texture and efficacy.

The soaps are another animal. I like them since they're moisturizing, plus they're a great companion for the lulur. Use the soap first before exfoliating to sort of prep and clean your skin for the scrub ahead. That's how I prefer to do it anyway, but if you want to dry scrub first then soap afterwards, that will work too!

My verdict? You know I'm a fan of Asian Secrets lulur (I have a small hoard) so that's definitely a must-have. The soaps are a nice extra - they won't blow your mind away but they do the basic job of cleansing without drying your skin. Get them if you can find them, as I hear that they're always sold out!
