My Opinion: - Lakme launched a new/revamped 3 step skin care range in red tubes, Lakme Clean Up Nourishing Glow Range. I bought the scrub and mask along with other Lakme Stuff. I was given the face wash from this range for free so I have all 3 newly launched products. Today I shall be reviewing the face mask from this range. My skin is oily and its getting oilier by the day, so oil control/absorbing face packs are a boon for me. The packaging of this face mask or the entire range is very attractive, red tube with white translucent screw-on cap. This makes it hygienic as well as travel friendly.


































                    The fragrance is sweet and mild, reminds me of Strawberries. But the fragrance is gone in a couple of minutes after application. Also you wouldn't find hints of it once the mask is washed off. The consistency is very thick heavy and the texture is creamy and smooth. It is very easy to apply on the skin (face & neck) but I need to spread it quickly on my skin or it thickens even more and looks like it has dried on my fingertips. I also use a brush to apply the mask on my face and it works much better for me that way.

































                   There is no details in the tube regarding at what intervals the face mask should be used and also about how long it has to be kept. Anyways, I use this face mask twice a week nowadays and I am using this since mid March I suppose. The tube is nearly empty and I think I will be able to use the leftover mask just one last time. I think this mask will last most girls nearly 10 applications, 12 at the most. For Rs 99 its good enough.

























                 This mask truly absorbs oil from the skin and gives an immediate glow and softness. Works good as a pre-party mask as it does not take long to dry and the results are good. Used in tandem with the other 2 products, step 1- Face Wash & step 2- Face Scrub, it works much better. So I use the wash, scrub and then the mask and my skin is oil free for long. This mask is a good product by Lakme but the only problem is that it is difficult to wash it off. So I use a wet face cloth to clean off the dried mask and then splash water to clean off in a jiffy.

























Pros: -


* Affordable and Easily Available

* Dries off quickly

* Gives a temporary glow after usage

* Control/absorbs oil to quite an extent

* When used in tandem with the wash & scrub, it works much better

























Cons: -

* Difficult to wash off with water, needs a wet face cloth to clean it off before washing



             I rate this Lakme Clean Up Nourishing Glow Face Mask 4.25 out of 5. This mask is the best among the Nourishing Glow Clean Up range. I recommend this Face Mask to oilies like me. Its affordable and effective to quite an extent, so girlies go out and grab one :D

Natural herbal formulations tend to change color over time. However, the product efficacy remains unchanged.

My Opinion: - Two products that I have been using from Himalaya since many years now, Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash and Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Pack. I always keep backups of these two products just because my skin is oily and pimple-prone. If I do not have pimples than I don’t bother to use the face wash but I use the pack once in 10 days even if my skin doesn’t break out. During the winters my skin becomes combination and behaves well and that’s when I put this face pack to rest. Coming to the review now, this face pack comes in white plastic tube with green patterns and writings. It has a dark green flip-open lid which makes it travel friendly and hygienic as well.

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS UNDER FLASH

This face pack is of muddy green grainy textured, and the fragrance is very herbal with multani mitti and neem scent in it. I shake it a little before taking a small blob to spread on my face, then I take another blob and another one till my face is completely covered with this pack. I don’t apply a very thick layer and moderate layer does the work for me. It is easy to spread the pack with fingertips rather than a face pack brush. It takes around 15 mins to dry off completely in summers and 20-25 mins in cool weather. When it dries I splash some water on my face and scrub a bit before washing off. I know this can get messy but it’s worth the effort.

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS IN NATURAL LIGHT

             When I use it during break outs, this pack helps to control the pimples and dry them out. I apply atleat once a week during my break outs otherwise I restrict using it to once in 10-12 days. For the first few uses a tingling sensation was felt on my skin but later on my skin got used to it. It is a face pack cum scrub for me, though Himalaya Herbals does not mention this. This pack is available in 2 different sizes and I always go for the small 50 gms tube as it is convenient to carry along while travelling. This face pack has the ability to make my skin clean and clear after every use. Inspite of all the goods, this face pack has 2 disadvantages- 1. It contains Parabens & 2. You might not know when it would get over as the tube is extremely opaque so when you feel the tube is getting lighter, then purchase a new tube or else you might be left with pack on one side of your face :P

AFTER SPREADING

Pros: -

* Controls & Dries out my pimples

* Affordable (Cheap) & easily Available

* Face pack plus works as a mild scrub for me

* Gentle on my skin, suits it as well

* Gives a fresh clean look to my face with regular use

Cons: -

* Contains Parabens

* Tube is opaque and you might not know when it is getting finished off

             I rate Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Pack 5 out of 5 inspite of the 2 cons. I shall continue using this face pack until I come across a better one. Highly recommended to girls with oily-acne prone skin. Dry skin & sensitive skin girls please stay away from this face pack. I would wrap up by thanking Himalaya Herbals for this baby :D
