Lotus Herbals Safe Sun De Tan After Sun Face Pack Review

Hello Everyone!

Lotus is a known brand for face packs and herbal skin solutions. I, being an online shopping freak saw this face pack and thought that this could be the solution to my tanning woes. Please read on to know if this met my expectation.

Price and Quantity:

110 INR for 50 gm product.

My Take:

The packaging is a simple orange colored tube with a flip top cap and the directions of use and ingredients are mentioned on the back.

The product is a light orange tinted creamy face pack. Each application requires a small amount of face pack and till now I’ve used it for 15 days with 4 applications so far and I feel this would last till the next month. So that is definitely value for money.

Using the face pack:

After using a good face wash you need to apply the face pack on a slightly moist face using hands and spread evenly. The face pack needs to be completely dry before you remove it. It takes around 10-15 min on me. Then you may remove it with water or use a cotton wool dipped in rose water.

Firstly I tan a lot, and I have this strange tendency where my skin turns red with any sun exposure or even heat. And when I return home from a few hours of outdoor activity it feels as if I took a tropical beach holiday. So I am always trying to get a good product to control my tan. Prior to using this I had some dark patches on my face due to tanning and with the second use I saw it to reduce quite a lot. The face pack does reduce tanning but one need to use it twice or thrice a week and if used in conjunction with the de tan face wash this works even better. So I definitely recommend this to all those with tanning problems. It does not show great results with first use but if you keep using it does reduce the tanning and uneven skin tone quite miraculously.

PROS:

Travel friendly packaging
Easy to use and remove
No irritations while using (Though you get a bit of stinging sensation for the first use but it’s gone after 30-40 seconds)
Reduces uneven skin tone and reduces tanning
Affordable pricing
Available both offline and online

CONS:

The effect is not immediate and takes a few uses to show.

Rating: 4/5

Will I Recommend?:

Yes I will, we all tan in summers no matter what we do, so it’s a great product to control tanning and reduce it

Will I Repurchase?:

Yes I will, and this time I’ll buy the larger quantity.

Hey people!

How many of you have despaired going out during the day in summer season and come back 4 shades darker? I, for one, have hated it like crazy, and truthfully speaking, nothing really helps coming back from spending time in the sun all itchy and sticky and dirty. But I have my defense set up. A simple sunblock works for me.

My Take:

The packaging is a standard Lotus one – shocking orange with a flip top to keep everything hygienic. I carry it around a lot and it does not leak or drip at all. That apart, the texture of this product is runny and it is like a tinted moisturizer. One of the reasons why I absolutely love it is because it gives my skin an instantly even texture and removes excess oils, making my skin look instantly fresh and clean. It is slightly chalky if not blended in properly, so make sure to thoroughly blend it in. It takes a minute to get fully blended in, but it immediately makes the face look more even-toned.

The scent of this product is very pleasant, like sandalwood, which is my favorite, and at times I use this purely for the scent itself. If you are one of those people who love a multi-tasking product, you would love this one. Acting as makeup base, sunblock and mattifying agent, this product makes sure your skin does not look oily and sticky. It stays for hours and makes sure your makeup stays put. I generally put this on before putting on my makeup, and I instantly see my face look fresh and clean. I have also seen that it has a very soothing effect on my sensitive combination skin, and does not break me out at all.

The lasting power of this one is about 2-3 hours in the sun, after which you must reapply it for it to work. It is great for those who are office goers and for those going to college as it works as a great beauty beginners’ product. It is slightly pale on girls under NC 45 skin tone, so you have to blend it in properly. Otherwise, a fantastic product for its price, and something I have seen all skin types use without any issue. Dry skinned girls, like my sister, love this as well.

PROS:

Travel friendly
Evens skin tone
Does not break me out
Mattes skin
Suitable for every skin type
Available in most places
Great as a makeup base
Reduces oil from face

CONS:

Needs to be blended in
Has to be reapplied after 2-3 hours

Rating: 4/5

My Recommendation:

I love it, it’s very useful and really good for the price you have to pay. Go get it!

Lotus Herbals Pure Radiance Matte Glow Daily Foundation SPF 20 Soft Beige Review

Hi everyone!

So today, here is a review on the foundation shade Soft Beige. Its is from Lotus herbals!

Product Claims:

Read: How to Choose the Right Foundation For Your Skin Type?

Price and Quantity:

Rs.175 for 25 ml.

Shade Reviewed:

360 Soft Beige

My Experience:

Lotus Herbals products have worked pretty well for me. Their lipsticks and sunscreens are my favorite among-st the lot. So I thought of giving their foundation a try because the claims of matte and oil free are a major attraction to me since I’m oily skinned.

The packaging is pretty good. The foundation is packaged in a sturdy plastic bottle having a screw cap. The nozzle has a small hole to dispense the foundation. I prefer this type of packaging where the product doesn’t get waste unlike some foundation bottles which have a wide mouth opening which results in product wastage. This foundation bottle easily fits in your bag due to its sleek design.

Now let’s talk about the shade. When it comes to selecting foundations, I always go for the shade in beige. Any foundation having the beige shade matches my skin tone very well.

So you ought to be careful while choosing the right shade for you. I only wish there were more shades.

Coming to the actual product, the foundation has a medium consistency. It is a bit difficult to blend. Since I use Lotus Herbals Matte Sunscreen first, it makes the task of blending this foundation more difficult. So I mix this foundation with a small quantity of moisturizer for easy blending. It dries up in around 2 minutes or so. This foundation has a mild floral fragrance which goes away soon after application.

This foundation gives a light coverage. This one is not for those who want full coverage. It is more like a tinted moisturizer. I like the fact that it does not feel heavy on my skin. So it is true to its claims of feather-feel. The foundation won’t give the cake or made up look even if you layer it on. It also evens out the skin tone well. The foundation has SPF-20 which is an added bonus. If you are in a hurry you can skip the sunscreen. I am so addicted to my sunscreen, I never skip it especially during summer. About its claims of being oil free, my face slowly turns oily in around 3 hours. After that I need to touch up with compact. This one works better compared to some oil free foundations which I have used. I ended up with an oily face within an hour. So this one works better.
