Vaadi Herbals Lavender & Rosemary Face Scrub Review

by Radha

Hello Beauties,

Today I am going to review the Vaadi Face Scrub. This is my current favorite facial scrub. I have an oily skin and it is easy for me to get black heads often. So, for me it is necessary to use a face scrub weekly thrice to maintain a clear skin. I was using Himalaya Face scrub before and got bored of it. Lavender is my favourite; also it is good for sensitive skin. So, I have bought this one from Vaadi. Let me give my detailed review on it.

Vaadi Herbals Lavender & Rosemary Face Scrub Review

 

My Experience:

The packing is simple and cute. It comes in a white colored tub which is handy to carry in travel. The tub has scroll type lid which makes it easy to handle. Overall, the packaging is good; but still it is a ‘tub’ so you need to be careful while using to be maintain hygiene.

Vaadi Herbals Lavender & Rosemary Face Scrub Review

This face scrub is in light lavender colour and the smell of the lavender dominates too. The fragrance can be said just awesome; I loved it so much. The texture of the face scrub is creamy with small scrubbing granules.

I am using so many Vaadi Herbals products already, hence Vaadi Herbals is not a new brand for me. I was expecting so much from this face scrub. My skin an oily-sensitive one. So, I had full hope that this face scrub will help me to improve my skin texture. I usually scrub my facial skin thrice a week if there are no pimples. I am using this face scrub for more than a month now. The first good thing about this face scrub is that it didn’t cause any new breakout on my face. After scrubbing and washing my face I can feel the instant smoothness on my skin. It leaves my skin so soft and clean within minutes.

On the other hand, it didn’t cause any dryness on my face too. This face scrub helps me a lot to get rid of unwanted black heads and dead cells very well. It removes them up to a very good extent. The scrubbing granules are not that much harsh on my skin. I love this facial scrub from Vaadi Herbals a lot and it has became my winter favorite face scrub now 🙂

DIY Early Morning Tea Scrub for Glowing Skin

So, how do you begin your day?! I believe with a tea or coffee. My day begins with a hot cup of tea along with the local newspaper.

Before I proceed into the actual scene of the discussion, I want to summarize the making of the tea.

  • You will need a glass of milk, one spoon tea powder and one spoon sugar.
  • In a wide mouthed vessel add all the 3 items and boil over low flame for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Pour the boiled contents on a sieve, and your morning tea is ready to be sipped.

(Sorry, it sounds as though you are reading a cooking blog) 😛

The residue collected in the strainer is likely to be thrown into the dustbin. But I suggest hold on to it. The tea residue makes an excellent skin exfoliator. It is the perfect type of mild scrub for the skin. Since this residue includes milk and sugar too, the skin gets the much needed moisturizing too. Massaging face and neck with the tea residue helps in blood circulation and brings the glow to your face right in the beginning of the day.

I never skip scrubbing my face with this tea residue, at least in winter. Winter makes the skin to look dead and deprived of food. So, tea residue scrubbing is a small solution to help my skin handle the dry winter. I scrub for about 3 to 4 minutes; then leave the residue on the skin for about 10 minutes and then rinse off. I do this after I have gulped my tea. 🙂

 

Source of inspiration to use the tea residue:

I had observed my mother dropping the tea residue to all the flower plant pots when the plants begin to look sick. And one fine day it just struck in my mind; these flowering plants get so much of life from the tea residue, wonder why can’t I borrow some help from the same tea residue. And thus the tea residue scrub came into existence in my routine.

 

Few Skin Benefits of Tea:

  • Tea is rich in antioxidants and thus it maintains the skin youth, if applied topically.
  • Recent researches have found that tea contains anti aging ingredients
  • The alpha hydroxy acids present in the tea loosens the skin and encourages dead skin removal
  • Applying tea decoction to the skin makes it look more fresher, healthier and radiant.
