The title must have given it all already. By now you must've guessed that I'm giving this product a two-thumbs up rating with the tagline inclusion, "the greatest exfoliation experience". Well, Asian Secrets Lulur is simply that. For those who are looking for a skin brightening experience that's easy on the pocket, this might be the tub you'll need to stock up on.
I will be posting the best ways to maximize this scrub to achieve optimum effects tomorrow, so stay tuned. Try it for yourself and tip me off if I'm right about Asian Secrets Lulur being a cheap yet effective whitening product!

This exfoliator, unlike the Abonne milk spa salt scrub I reviewed earlier, isn't harsh on the body. Submaximum scrubbing can be done since the beads are finer and easier on the skin. We all know how beneficial dry scrubbing is to the skin, and Asian Secrets Lulur elevated this essential primping procedure to a higher level.
Why so? Because the skin feels nothing but regal with the Tommy girl floral scent it leaves the skin (and it sure does linger!). Adding to that is the radiance the skin gets after washing the product off the body.

Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub is a beauty treatment inspired by a most luxurious Javanese ritual called Lulur. The ritual was originally intended for the bride-to-be in order to beautify, smoothen, and whiten her skin before her wedding day. Lulur originated from the royal palaces of Java, Indonesia and products inspired by this traditional treatment are still used by Indonesian women today.An Indonesian royalty ritual rolled in an inexpensive tub? Sounds real promising, huh? And here's more.Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub claims that:
- Frequent usage reduces skin pigmentation and evens out skin tone by getting rid of dark patches, especially in areas prone to darkening such as the elbows, knees, armpits, and the area between the thighs.
- It contains Vitamin E and Green Tea extract, powerful antioxidants that protect your skin from free radicals to keep it healthy and young-looking.
- It also contains Squalene and Olive Oil that help maintain moisture on your skin.
I've been using this product for more than a month now (hence, the purchase of a new and bigger tub). I loved the way the scent lingers on the skin. It's like you've spritzed on perfume after bathing (but if you hate Tommy girl's scent, you might be better off with Abonne spa milk salt scrub).
I noticed how it evened out my skintone every after scrub like there's no dark film masking the radiance of my skin. However, if you skip dry brushing using Asian Secrets Lulur 3 days in a row, you'll see how the skin's radiance diminishes.
The available tubs are not cost-efficient for me, though. They should come up with bigger packaging (I will not hesitate to buy a pail of Asian Secrets Lulur, seriously) because this product is a keeper. I finished off the small tub in a span of 7 whole-body scrub sessions. I have yet to gauge how long the 250g tub will last me.

Now, the big question is if it's worthy to be labelled, "whitening body scrub". In a month's time, I can attest that it is, coupled with a moisturizing lotion (I use Revlon Aquamarine) and a whitening soap. It has the power to really brighten the skin and make it look relatively translucent to your previous skintone that's why I'm claiming that it can whiten.
In my opinion, its whitening effect can be best appreciated with NC30 and lighter skin tones. Application of whitening products, say a whitening soap bar (I use Likas Papaya soap), can help hugely to appreciate Asian Secrets Lulur's contribution to a brighter skin. I've tried using just Likas Papaya soap sans scrubbing for a week and the whitening regimen just doesn't look and feel the same without it.

Significant whitening results are not achieved using this product as a sole source for whitening.
