Great Purchase-Himalaya Clarifying Mud Pack Review

This is the last product I bought from Himalaya when I went on a binge shopping about 10 days ago! This is the perfect product for someone like me with such oily skin!I had been looking for a perfect mud pack and here it is!

It comes in a standard tube which is travel friendly and has ingredients like Multani Mitti, Mineral Clay, Khus, Walnut and smells okay,some people will find the smell bit weird but I like the little citrusy kind of smell it has. The texture is very thick and I always use it with a little bit of rose water. It takes about 10 minutes to dry and when I wash it off, it also becomes a kind of scrub, leaving my skin fresh, even toned and clearer! It controls pimples too, absorbs oil and leaves the skin really clear. I love the effect it has on my skin as I completely forget how oily my skin is after using it! Dry skinned people should stay away from it unless they want their skin to look like a desert. But all oily skinned people should definitely use it 3 times a week to emerge with a brighter skin like me! Enough product to last a month if used 3 times a week and it is very pocket friendly like all Himalaya products.

Okay purchase- Himalaya Herbals Fairness Face Pack Review

When I bought Himalaya fairness cream about 10 days ago, the sales lady also told me to buy this and this will lead to increased 'fairness'. Well I am not interested in fairness but since I travel a lot in pollution,it leads to darkening of my skin so I want bright skin,so I bought this. It is the only product from Himalaya that has not been a great purchase for me or anyone in my family. 

On the pack,it says,' Himalaya’s Fairness Face Pack is a unique natural formulation that evens out skin tone for a fairer you! Saffron, Turmeric, Walnut, Indian Aloe and Kaolin rejuvenate and cleanse your skin of impurities, to reveal a natural glow. Saffron and Turmeric enhances your skin’s complexion and elasticity. Walnut and Indian Aloe heals skin and removes blackheads, while Kaolin removes impurities. CINNABLOC, our patented herbal sunblock, protects your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.'

It comes in a squeeze tube which is nice to travel around with and has enough product to last about a month if used everyday. The texture is creamy and spreads easily on face. It dries off in about 7-8 minutes after which I wash it off. It does not feel slippery or oily on my face which is a good thing but there is no fairness like glow on my face after this. It is just another facepack which gives a little cleaning and fresh feeling. The smell is very pleasant but frankly,the fruit face pack from Himalaya gives a much better glow and bright look to my face. I gave this to my sister also and she also found it to be okay,on her dry skin it lead to little stretchy feeling and she had to use a moisturizer but again, no fairness effect unlike the fairness cream from Himalaya where results are visible in a week.

Good purchase- Himalaya Refreshing Fruit Pack Review

I wanted to buy the Himalaya Neem Pack since I have heard so many good things about it and I have such horribly oily skin. But the day I went to buy it,it was out of stock and so I bought this and even this is a very good pack! 

On the pack,it says ' Apple, a rich source of  natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) that improve and nourish skin texture.Fig & Cucumber provide cooling effect to the skin. Papaya removes freckles and smoothens the skin.  Mineral Clay soothes the skin and removes deeply embedded impurities.' I was apprehensive since it said, 'normal to dry skin' but then I saw clay in the ingredients and bought it since it absorbs oil. It is easy to apply and the tube it comes in is travel friendly. It has a pleasant smell and is very thick in texture.I love to apply a thick layer over my face and let it sit for 15 minutes and then wash it. All the oil is absorbed by the mineral clay and I am left with nice skin which is a little slippery to feel in beginning but in 5 minutes it becomes smooth and soft. I do not need to use any moisturizer after it but the dry skinned people will have to. After about a week of use,I can say it does impart a nice glow to my face and makes it fresh and bright to look at. It also feels smooth. So it does everything that it claims. It is a really good face pack to have.

Good Purchase- Himalaya Revitalizing Night Cream Review

I bought this specifically for mom since she wanted a night cream since a long time! She has been using this for past 10 days continuously and is very pleased with it, so let's review it here. 

It comes in a very small container of 50 gms but it needs only a small amount to be applied every night so it will last for 2 months even if used everyday and that makes it a very good price. It is available for about Rs. 200. I got it at a big discount since I bought a lot of products together and I got about 15-20% discount as I know the sales lady personally! This cream does not promise anti-ageing or brightening,it is just revitalizing and my mother uses it every night and wakes up with smooth skin in the morning. There is no miracle but the results are visible after the first week,it is smooth baby like skin. My mother does wish it had more benefits like dark spots reduction or wrinkle reduction but as of now, she is happy with smooth skin, no pimples, simple glow of healthy skin. It is a lotion kind of cream which is perfect for my mother who has combination skin. It will also suit dry skin people I think. I have not used it yet but I think it won't be bad on my oily skin also. The sales lady said it suits all skin so I might try it some day too! The smell is very pleasant and my mom loves to touch her face to feel how soft it is.

My mother's rating-4/5

Okay Purchase- Himalaya Herbals Face Moisturizing Lotion Review

I bought this along with a lot of other Himalaya products 10 days ago and it did not suit me one bit. The saleslady gave me a lot of products to work with, I told her I have oily skin and she said this will be fine with my skin too since due to pollution it had lost its sheen and I need a face lotion to make it all shiny! But this lotion is better for dry skinned ladies!

It says 'All Skin Types' but trust me,it is not good for oily skin!

I am saying this is an Okay Purchase since my sister is using it nowadays and she liked it. The packaging is strong and the bottle is travel friendly. The consistency of the lotion is very liquidy and on application also it does not mattify the face which an oily skinned person needs, it adds to the moisturization which is perfect fro dry skinned people. The only thing I can say is-I used it for 2 days and even applied it over my pimples and it did not worsen them, so that is a plus point! On my sister's skin, this does impart a glow and shine to her face and the smell is also pleasant like most Himalaya products. She thinks this is a nice product for summers and maybe even rainy season. In winter she would need something stronger as this is a light lotion.

My rating- 2/5

Great scrub- Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub Review

10 days ago when I picked up some beauty products, mostly from Himalaya, I also purchased this since I have very oily skin and the sales lady said I must have this neem based product to combat oiliness. I already love my blossom kocchar scrub still bought this and this is a fantastic product!

On the pack,it says' Specially formulated to give you clear,problem free skin, this scrub works with a dual exfoliation and purifying action. Neem, well known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, kills problem causing bacteria. Combined with exfoliating apricot granules, it gently scrubs away blackheads, dead skin cells and embedded impurities, leaving your skin soft, clear, refreshed and problem free.'

I do have problem of blackheads, dead skin and all that comes with oily skin so I thought let me try it. The packaging is very sturdy and tube is nice. Product is enough to last a month if used daily. It does not have very scratchy granules but still the sensitive skin people might not like it. I liked it since it instantly cleaned my oily face feeling. Also the blackheads were scrubbed off to a large extent and it smells of fresh neem leaves which I like a lot but again my sister hates the smell! I had some pimples on my skin so I did not scrub the area but it did not irritate them and also they dried away quickly. So I love it a lot.

Good Purchase- Himalaya Under Eye Cream Review

I do not have much dark circles under my eyes but nowadays due to spending lot of time on computers I do feel fatigue and tired bags have started appearing under my eyes so I bought this about 10 days ago and let me review it now. 

On the pack it says that 80% of the Dark Circles will be reduced in 4 weeks. It also helps to Reduces the under eye wrinkles & fine lines by 28% in just 4 weeks and helps to Brightens & smoothens our eye contour.

These are tall claims and I don't know how much effective it is on dark circles but I assure you it does make eyes appear brighter and less tired. 

It smoothens my skin under the eyes and leaves it too soft but also a bit oily which bothers me since I already have oily skin but it is good that there is no stretchy feeling and I am sure dry skinned people will love it. I use it twice a day and it keeps my under eye area nourished for long. Packaging is especially good since it comes in travel friendly tube. 

price-Rs. 150

Good purchase- Himalaya Herbals Fairness Cream Review

I must confess, growing up I was always thinking about being fair. Thankfully,as I grew up I became happy with my skin and no longer worry about fairness but once in a while when my skin darkens with pollution I do use some 'fairness' creams just to regain some normality. Otherwise, fairness is not important for me. Himalaya is a brand everyone in my home trusts a lot so I purchased this to take care of my skin getting darker under the sun nowadays. I have used it for about 10 days now!

On the pack,it says, '“Fairness in 4 weeks” – The unique natural formula of Himalaya Fairness Cream is absorbed faster into the skin and works throughout the day, making your complexion better each time, every time. Prevents dark discoloration of the face.

The product comes in a standard tube, packaging is quite nice. The cream is white colored and smells pleasant. The cream is quite thick, but gets absorbed into skin easily and it instantly removes the oiliness in my skin. My skin looks so brighter and feels fresh. I have noticed in past 10 days that I am looking a bit brighter which probably means that the pollution is not affecting my skin a lot which makes me very happy. I don't think it will be nice for dry skinned as it completely absorbs oil from my skin so I think the dry skinned ladies should skip this or use it with really heavy moisturizer. I am happy and will repurchase it.

Price-Rs. 30 for this small pack which would last a month

Best Scrub- Aroma Magic Mineral Glow Scrub Review

Right about a month ago when I started using Aroma Magic Under Eye cream, I also picked up Aroma Magic Mineral Glow Scrub. My skin is really oily so I need a scrub to constantly scrub off the dirt and pollution and blackheads. My old one was Himalaya Apricot Scrub that I have used for over 2 years now and it is good,but I wanted to try something new. 

On the pack,it says 'This microderm face & body scrub cleans pores, removes oil, blackheads, dead cells & exfoliates the blockages. Reduces wrinkles, sun damage & improves texture. Skin appears lighter, brighter, smooth & glowing.'

The scrub is of pistachio green colour and the granules are very non abrasive. It is not at all like the rough scrubs available in apricot or walnut varieties and has a slippery texture which is not bad and perfectly moisturizes my skin. I thought it would not be good for my oily skin but it does not make it oilier and I think it will be perfect for dry skin too. It cleans well without stripping the skin of essential oils but the only drawback is,it does nothing for my blackheads for which I will have to continue using my Himalaya Apricot scrub. But this is gentle and good for using almost everyday. One more thing-it is really weird smelling which is fine by me but my sister hates it!

Price-Rs. 140

I have been dealing with many beauty related problems,the most main one being DARK CIRCLES!

I would like an eye cream which works faster but this one has good ingredients which have not irritated my under eye area so I am continuing with it and it is also very pocket friendly!
