Himalaya #FairnessKesarFace Pack Review and Experience

This time summer decided to be ruthless and harsher than ever before in Delhi and I’m totally in the mood to crib about it for as long as I can but leaving the heat aside, I tend to get tanned at least two shades darker, which honestly isn’t great on the Indian skin. And this year especially because I joined swimming as a summer sport to opt for a healthy lifestyle, chlorine is making my skin go haywire. Being a lazy person by nature, I don’t end up giving too much time to my skin care either. But this time I decided to be little careful and choose for cleanups on bi-monthly basis. Though, asking me to go and visit a Salon; Not happening! Full fledged clean-ups/mini-facials and pampering my skin with facepacks has shown a huge difference in my skin.

I have been using Himalaya Kesar Fairness pack for a while now. I picked it because I have always loved Himalaya products and its Neem pack had been my favorite for a long time, even though I didn’t have problematic skin, it still helped me detoxify it. So this time I wanted to give try to something different and wanted to get rid of this stubborn tan too.

Let’s have a look at what the product claims and why this worked out for me.

Himalaya Claims – It is a unique natural formulation that evens out skin tone for a fairer you! Turmeric, walnut, Indian Aloe and saffron rejuvenate and cleanse your skin of impurities, to reveal a natural glow. Walnut and Aloe Heals skin and removes blackheads. Turmeric and Saffron enhances your skin’s complexion and elasticity. Cinnablock, our patented herbal sunblock, protects your skin from the Sun’s harmful UV rays.

I have been using this little guy for over a period of month. Initially I got two satchels from a local grocery just for the trial purposes, then decided to go for a medium size one. It has worked really well on my uneven skin tone.  What really interest me about this its key ingredients – It constitutes of Kesar, turmeric, Indian Aloe, walnut and Kaolin clay. I have loved using Kaolin clay packs as it doesn’t really dries out my skin and at the same time helps in brightening it.

Himalaya Herbals Kesar Fairness Pack has great anti-oxidants, anti-bacterial properties. Along with such awesomeness, it helped me remove my tanned and even out my pigmented skin.

Packaging and Texture

Pack comes in a squeeze tube with Flip open packaging. It is travel friendly and light weight also. The texture of the product is thick consistency. In my homemade packs I mix rose water or little milk to make it into smooth consistency but with this one I prefer to use it directly from the tube. It has very mild and floral kinda fragrances which is not overpowering.

I have been using it consistently and it has done great job on it too. I can see visible brightness and glow on my face. My skin feels softer than ever before. I use it once a week as I have dry skin. Apply it evenly on face and neck and leave it for 20 mins. It makes my skin look one toned brighter immediately. It doesn’t really dries out my skin but I use a thick moisturizer after pack application.

Price – Rs 70 for 50g
Shelf Life- 3 years.

It is an affordable and recommended treat for your skin. It lightens the blemishes and dark spots, makes skin smooth and supple and helps in getting rid of tanning. It contains herbal and natural ingredients mostly which is a big plus.

It makes my skin feel happy. It is a quick way to pamper your skin and you can easily carry it with you anywhere.

For a working woman or a person who is just outright lazy like me, it is a great option. I highly recommend it.

Rating – 5/5

Himalaya Herbal Neem Face Pack- Review, Price and Swatch!

Hey Everyone!

During summers, we all have to take extra care of the skin because of heat and sweat, which are also the reasons for breakouts, rashes, sensitivity, tanning and even pigmentation.

By now you must have realized that I believe in using products which has less chemical content and are more towards natural/ herbal side. The primary reason for that is, most of the products or formulas that I use

My view and Review – Himalaya Deep Cleansing milk

Hello ladies!!

Whats happening? It’s so cold outside, and I just had the awesomest Gazzar ka halwa made by mom … yum yum, I can still relish in my mouth. Nevermind, don’t be so jealous. Let’s get back to the point related to this post’s tittle.

In winters it’s really important to take extra care of your skin. With the regular usuage of cleaning toning and moisturizing, according to your skin type, you can achieve healthy glowing skin and especially when you have been going out for parties etc., like these days then you must be applying a lot of makeup. Cleaning makeup before going off to sleep is very important I know there are many makeup removers available in the market and no denials to this point, even I use them. But when your skin requires extra pampering indulge yourself into healthy chemical free products. Cleansing milk plays important role in CTM. 

I don’t use cleansing milk daily but twice in a week I do that. So I bought this Himalaya Deep Cleansing Milk small pack from Violetbag.com (I know havent been posting any hauls, but I will surely do that in 2012).

Price – Rs 65 for 100 ml (Rs 60 on Violetbag.com)

My Experience

I used it on the days when i’ve been out for long on Delhi roads or in an open area, to remove the dirt deeply from my skin. This product satisfied me and is upto its claim of deep cleansing. It comes in white bottle with the green flip cap. 

Texture

Very light, ofcourse white in colour as its milk. Leaves skin moisturised. 

Smell

The fragrance is very light and soothing.

Direction to Use

Apply in a circular motion on the face and neck. Wipe off with a moist cotton pad. Rinse with water and pat dry.

Ingredients

It has extracts of cucumber and soapnut (reetha)
Cucumber, Sukasa helps keep the facial skin soft. It has healing and soothing effect on the damaged skin and exerts a natural sunscreen effect. It acts as a toner and lightens the facial skin.

Soapnut-tree, Arishta has a mild detergent activity and it cleanses the skin of oily secretion.

Pros

-          It removes makeup and dirt eaily and quite effectively.

-          It removes long stay makeup – like lipsticks and water resistant khol eyeliner in one or max 2 swipes.

-          Its neither too thick nor too thin too run away

-          I have a normal to dry skin, once I’m done cleaning with this product. I rinse my face with water, and it leaves my skin supple and glowing

-          A very little amount is required to clean the whole face and neck.

-          Its super cheap and lasts for pretty long.

-          It doesn’t breakout

-          It doesn’t have any strong smell

Cons

-          It leaves the gloss sparkles and in the same eyeshadow/liner sparkles

-          Most of the time I have to use facewash after rinsing it

-          It’s a cleanser n not exactly a makeup remover. 

Rating- 4.5/5

Recommendation- Yes I would, as its not heavy on my pocket and does it job pretty well.
