Banjara’s Multani with Rose Face Pack Review

Hello readers! Wish me all, good luck 🙂 as this is my first face pack review 😀 Today I am gonna review a Face pack of Banjara’s herbals products. I bought this one without any plan when I shopped Vaseline White Body Milk before few days. I usually use face packs to soften my skin and keep it clean and blemish free. I include face pack in my skincare regime once or twice a week to maintain my skin tone without any spots or blemishes. There were many flavors of Banjara’s face packs in that shop such as Multani with Aloe, Multani with Cucumber and also a Sandal one. The main reason why I purchased Rose is because of it’s aroma 🙂 I am always a great lover of rose flavor and aroma so I bought this to soften my skin and for the Multani (Fullers earth) which removes suntan effectively. Let me write my experience with Banjara’s Multani with Rose Face Pack with its pros and cons.

THE CONSISTENCY AND TEXTURE (On my skin)

MY VIEW ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The product comes in a cute rose colored pack. The powder is in a color of Multani Mitti which gets smooth and creamy when mixed with water or rose water. According to me, it smells good even though not so pleasant with a little aroma of the rose flower. The product says to use this face pack along with their Rose water but still I didn’t have rose water in my home so I used water to make a paste. As I said already, the pack is creamy and spreads over my skin without any hardness, it also dries up quickly. I felt a cold feel over my skin when I applied the face pack and I loved it 🙂 I washed my face with cold water after 15 minutes and my skin really felt instantly softer which I loved to touch my facial skin 😀 It softens and relaxes the skin by cooling it down with it’s rose properties and the fullers earth (Multani mitti) deep cleanses the skin to give a natural glow. I am in love with this face pack and at present I am using this twice a week and it started showing the results, gave me out super soft lightened tan free skin within 6 uses! Waiting to purchase the other flavors soon and try them too!

PROS
  • The price. It’s very affordable for the worth.
  • The creamy texture which spreads and dries up easily.
  • Cleanses the skin deeply without leaving any impurities.
  • Removes suntan and other scars effectively with regular use.
  • As it claims(Anti Aging) it removed fine lines, wrinkles and tightened my skin making it look younger.
  • Easily available and free from side effects as this is an herbal product.

CONS
  • It comes in a powder form so you have to mix it with water every time you use it, but it’s not a matter for this cheap price and it’s benefits on your skin.
  • The pack doesn’t comes in a plastic tub or bottle so that you should transfer it to a jar soon after you open it.
No other cons! It’s such a good face pack from Banjara’s herbals 🙂 I love it.

MY TIP : Add milk instead of water to this pack in winters to prevent skin dryness and tightness.

MY RATING : 4/5 (Minus 1 for the package)

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash Review

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash Review

Hello Everyone!

We all know that neem is an excellent natural remedy for pimples and blemishes. I have been using neem to cure my acne for ages and it gives me out great results every time. Unlike the other acne clearing products and chemicals, neem cures pimple and acne breakouts like a magic, in a very natural way. I used to gather some neem leaves and paste them to use as a DIY acne clearing face pack before I was introduced to ready made packs. Last month, I saw a television ad about this Purifying Neem Face Wash from Himalaya Herbals which claims to prevents pimples. Hence I quickly picked this as I wanted to try this face wash due to the neem and turmeric ingredients which are very natural and skin friendly. Another reason why I wanted to try this is that I get cold If I paste neem leaves and use as my face pack in this winter as neem has cooling properties. Let me share my detailed review on Himalaya Herbals neem face wash now.

My Experience with Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash

  • Read: Himalaya Herbals Hydrating Face Wash Cream Review

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance: It has a gel like translucent consistency which is light green in color and has a light herbal smell. The fragrance is not sweet or fruity but I loved the mild natural herbal smell which doesn’t bother me at all.

How it works: I started using this face wash 2 weeks back and since then, I did not experience any acne breakouts at all. It really vanished my pimples up to a great extent and prevented them from coming back. This face wash definitely doesn’t produce rich creamy lather, but a small quantity was enough to wash my face and neck. My normal-oily skin did not feel any stretchy or tight after washing my face. It made my skin instantly clean, clear and soft without stripping the natural moisture. Even though it doesn’t dry out my normal-oily skin, I won’t recommend this face wash for dry skinned people. This will suit the ones who have normal, oily and acne prone skin in all the seasons well. Overall, I love this face wash for the price, the neem ingredients and the results it give out 🙂 I recommended this face wash to my mom and she loves it too.

Pros

  • Affordable, worth buying and easily available everywhere.
  • This face wash comes in a transparent tube, so that it would be easy to find out how much is left in the tube.
    Even though the smell is not sweet, it has a natural herbal flavor which made me feel like I am not using any harsh chemical over my skin :
  • Prevents pimples and cures acne breakouts within few days of usage.
  • No side effects; save to use even on sensitive skin types
    It doesn’t dry out my normal-oily skin at all.
  • It faded out the acne scars and also cleared my blackheads to an extent with regular use.

Cons

  • The flip cap is flimsy and thus the product is not travel friendly
  • I have read different reviews on this face wash. It works for some and doesn’t work for others.
  • Not for the dry skinned beauties out there

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5

Recommendation: Using neem for pimples has been in practice since ages among Indian women. This face wash which contains neem really helped in clearing out my pimples up to a good extent and hence, I highly recommend this product.

Would I Repurchase?: Why not? I will 🙂

MY VIEW ABOUT THIS LIP BALM

The lip balm is colorless and comes in a tube with a slanted tip which is easy to use, so we don’t need to worry about the contamination. The very first thing I noticed is, it’s thickness. Unlike Vaseline or other lip balm it’s quite thick but really not greasy at all. The thick consistency spreads evenly over my lips and gave my lips a fuller look. It’s not oily or runny so that it stayed on my lips for more than 2 hours in day time and till next morning in nights. The second thing I noticed is it’s flavor.. hmm I love it 😀 It has a fruity flavor which tempts me to smell it all the time. Only because of this pleasant and wonderful smell I am taking this lip balm with me wherever I go and using it once in an hour. Lovely smell!! No one will hate it :p
Other than these two factors smell and consistency, It also worked well on my chapped lips and prevented it from drying and peeling. It really moisturizes my lips without making it greasy and makes it soft and pink. I noticed my lips getting pink and softer within one week of usage. I use this in all the seasons and it works like a dream on my lips. Himalaya lip balm is one of my favorite all time lip balm 🙂

  • The tube package which is easier to use.
