Vaadi Herbals Elbow Foot Knee Scrub Soap Review

by Arshita

Hello to all!
Scrubbing off the dead cells from the feet is very essential, and not everyone has time to pay regular visit at the parlour for pedicures. For this problem, scrub soaps are useful solution. So, today I am going to review Vaadi Herbals Elbow Knee Foot Scrub Soap that I bought more than a year ago. Here are the details.

Product Description:

An innovative formula to give your elbows, feet & knees the extra attention they deserve. The finery almond extract & ground walnut together exfoliate even thick deposites of dead cells, while smoothing and lighting the areas; while Aloe Vera keeps skin pampered.

Price & quantity:

Rs. 25 for 75 g.

Key Ingredients:

Almond-Gently exfoliates, smoothes & evens skin tone.
Walnut- Exfoliates thick deposits of dead skin cells.
Aloe Vera- Moisturizes, soothes & protects skin.

Shelf Life:

36 months.

My Take on Vaadi Herbals Elbow Foot Knee Scrub Soap:

This soap is a quite large soap in grey color with millions of black granules. The smell of the soap is pretty nice, soothing. I found this scrub soap in an online shopping site one day and I thought of giving it a go. To be honest, I do not regret my thought now.

This is my second bar and I love using it. The soap is brilliant for scrubbing off the dead cells. I personally do not like using body scrub in my feet; somehow, body scrubs do not work for me. So, scrub in soap for is the best for me, it is easier to use; only rubbing the soap for few minutes does the job. This soap does not lather much and also, the grey part of the soap is very creamy. But, the granules are way too harsh; once I thought of using it on my hands, it almost tore my skin! Then I realized, this soap is only for rough areas (silly me!).

One more unpleasant fact is it dries out the skin badly. Sometimes, I forget to apply body lotion, but after using this soap, my skin does not let me forget that. It clears dead cells in few minutes, smoothes the skin; it also cleared the bumps on my elbows. Though, I cannot much comment on lightening the skin tone with this soap. But, overall, this is very useful scrub soap for rough areas on the body. This soap is exactly like pumice stone only it lathers.

Why I like this Soap?:

Herbal Soap.
Very economical.
Scrubs off the dead cells very well.
Smells nice.
Does not lather much.
One bar goes a long life.
Easy to use and wash off.
Smoothes the skin.

Why I don’t like this Soap?:

Dries out the skin.
The granules are very harsh on normal skin.

MABH Rating: 4.5/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, if you are looking for a pedicure scrub, give this a try.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, I have already stocked one more.

Hello pretty women! Gone are the days when ladies used soaps on their faces (the thought even scares me now). And when I saw a soap named as fairness bar made me think, ‘fairness for body?’ Anyhow, I had to try this soap and today I am going to share my experience of using this Fairness Bar Soap with you all.

Key Ingredients:

My Take on Avon Naturals Fairness Bar Soap:

Avon Naturals Fairness Bar Soap is baby pink in color and quite large in quantity. The smell is very soapy, if you know what I mean; yet nice.

It lathers pretty well. Also, it is easy to wash off; it does not leave any slippery feel. It cleans skin very nicely. The nice flowery smell stays for a while. It has been a long time since I have used any normal soap, and I still remember some of the soaps that leave a white cast on the body for some reason. Well, luckily I did not experience anything like that with this soap. Also, it gives me some kind of satisfaction when I did not find SLS in the ingredients list.

It makes my skin squeaky clean and also never dries out. This is what really surprised me that after using this soap, I did not feel the urge to use body lotion (saved my time!). My semi-dry skin on the body was perfectly balanced in moisture after using this soap. But, as per its name, I did not notice any fairness affect (not that I expected!).

Overall, I liked this soap, it is worth using. It did not do any bad to my skin, moreover, it kept my skin soft and moisture for longest time.

The Good Points:

Herbal Soap.
Good quality soap.
Fair pricing.
Quite large quantity.
Smells nice.
Cleans skin very well.
Does not leave any slippery affect.
Keeps skin soft and moisturized.
Gentle soap.

The Not-So-Good Points:

There is none!

MABH Rating: 5/5. (See it as a normal soap, forget the name)

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, it is a nice soap for daily use.

Would I Repurchase?:

Maybe not. I am not really a soap user. 😛

My Take on Fiama Di Wills Gel Bar Exotic Dream:

I am fond of using soaps and shower gels or body washes almost every time I take bath. I know, some people tell me that it is not good for skin, but if I don’t use soap or shower gel, I don’t even feel that I took bath, how weird am I? Anyways, coming back to the product, I have used soaps from the same brand before and I liked it. So, Fiama Di Wills Gel Bar Exotic Dream (Blackberry & Blackcurrant) is a quite big bar and of my favorite color, purple. It comes in a big cartoon box and sealed in a foil-type sachet.

It smells heavenly, but the fragrance does not linger for even some time after the bath (I wish it could!). It lathers very well like every other soap. It is easy to rinse off, no slippery effect afterwards (thank goodness!). But my semi dry body skin feels quite dry after using this gel bar.

So, I don’t think this gel bar accomplishes what it claims, such as, shower gel experience in a bar, rich in moisture. The only good thing about this gel bar is its beautiful smell. Maybe, I was expecting a little bit more from this gel bar but overall, it is a good soap (I mean Gel Bar) for daily use if you (dry skin ladies) are planning to use body lotion afterwards.

And, sorry about the pictures where it looks like I have scratched the bar, well, I did not do anything like that; though it is my fault because I forcibly wanted to put the bar inside of its sachet after using (don’t really have an answer why :P).
