JOVEES REGROWTH & REVITALISING -READY TO USE HAIR PACK- REVIEW


Helps hair from premature greying

200 gm for INR 155

Company Says: - Jovees ready to use regrowth & revitalizing hair pack will stimulate hair growth while helps hair from premature greying. It will help add luster and sheen to hair. It will work as an excellent conditioner that will help improve volume of hair and strengthen the hair roots.

Method of Use: - Pour a few drops of water into the ready to use hair pack and stir well. Apply all over scalp and leave on for 45 minutes. Wash thoroughly with plain water. Use Jovees Henna and Ginseng Shampoo next day for washing the hair.

Active Ingredients: - Palasbeej, Bhringraj, Jatamansi, Amla

Shelf life: - Best before 3 years from the date of mfg.

My Opinion: - This is one product that I have repurchased over and over again and I confess that I can’t do without it. This hair pack comes in bright green plastic tube with a screw on lid. The tube needs to be shaken well before dispensing the paste otherwise a lot of unwanted liquid comes out of the nozzle. The texture of the hair pack is very gritty/grainy. It is not very thick and not even runny as well. The fragrance of this pack is very herbal with strong henna and amla smell. To me it looks and smells like some chawanprash :P :D Nothing bad or good about the fragrance, people using henna will surely like it.

                           I shake the tube vigorously and squeeze out some paste in a glass bowl and add a little water to it, mix well and apply on my scalp/hair roots either with fingertips or a brush. The best part about this hair pack is that it can be applied on my dry scalp/hair root. Most packs must be applied on wet hair and this is a problem in the winters. I wrap my hair in a towel drenched in hot water and I leave it on for about an hour and wash off with plain water. As recommended I shampoo my hair next day and not immediately after using the hair pack. It takes time in rinsing out the pack from my hair and if not washed properly, then you might have bits of brown dust falling on your shoulders and back.

                               This hair pack leaves my hair soft and shiny after each use and its effect lasts for about 7 to 10 days, therefore I use it every 10 days on my hair. It controls frizz and also reduces oil on my scalp, my scalp is oily and roots dry. This hair pack does not dry out my scalp but makes it less oily than its normal state. It’s easy to style and manage my hair for the next few days after using this hair pack. My hair looks and feels better after each use, maybe this is psychological or maybe it’s for real. The only problem I have with this hair pack is that the company does not declare all the ingredients in the tube, ok that’s a common problem with most companies so never mind.

RESEMBLES HENNA PASTE

Pros: -

* Can be used on dry hair, that’s the biggest plus point


* Affordable and easily available


* 1 tube lasts for 3-3.5 months; I use this hair pack every 10 days


* Makes my hair manageable, soft & shiny after each use


* Does not itch or irritate my scalp


* Controls the oiliness of my scalp, but does not make it dry


* Can’t say a word about the regrowth and premature greying control claims, but it does revitalize my hair as claimed


* Tube packaging is hygienic as well as travel friendly


Cons: -

* The company says its ready to use but actually you have to mix in a little water. (Curd & milk is also suggested by the Jovees SA) Cannot be used directly from the tube

* Full ingredient list is not available; well that’s not actually a con

* Needs a lot of rinsing or some residue is left behind

  
                            I rate this Jovees Regrowth & Revitalising Ready To Use Hair Pack 4.75 out of 5. I love this hair pack as it suits my hair/scalp to the T and gives me soft shiny locks, though I apply only on my scalp. A must try for all the hair care freaks, try it out atleast once and I don’t think you will regret it.

Hope you girls liked reading the review and please do share your experience with us if you ever used this product. Thank you and do have a great day ahead:)

JOVEES FOOT CREAM & SCRUB- REVIEW


A unique 2-in-1 formula for smoother, healthier, radiant feet

60 gms for INR 75

Company Says:- A cream cum scrub formulation easily absorbed into the skin, shall help in the healing of the problems of even the driest and roughest feet. This unique product that shall rejuvenate and revitalize damaged skin to give your feet a smoother, healthier and more radiant appearance. A daily use product for your beautiful feet.

Method Of Use:- Take sufficient quantity of cream cum scrub from the tube and massage into heels and soles of the feet in a circular motion till absorbed. Leave on.

Active Ingredients:- Jojoba seed nuts, Sesame, Kokum Butter, Geranium Oil, Lemon Grass Oil, Rosemary extract.

My Opinion:-
We cannot alter the shape & size of our feet, whether we like it or not we have to live with the same pair of feet we are born with. Also our feet takes the entire weight of our body and are mostly neglected. There are nevre endings in our soles which make our feet all the more important. So taking good care (read pampering) is something which we should do regularly. Daily use of a foot cream is a must along with weekly scrubbing and regular filing.

I have been using and very much liking Oriflame Feet Up Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream. As it got over a couple of weeks ago, I thought of trying another brand of foot cream and this is when I stumbled upon Jovees Foot Cream & Scrub. The name itself was highly intriguing since the word 'scrub' was attached with the phrase 'Foot Cream'. the SA explained that this is a scrub kind of cream :P Back home, before retiring at night I open the sealed tube to find the SA was correct. The fragrance is very mild but sweet floral, which will be liked by most since its not at all over-powering. The texture is white creamy with tiny and bright pink beads. The cream nourishes and the beads exfoliates :D good for lazy girls like me.

I apply to my clean feet every night and massage it into my feet for a few seconds till the cream gets absorbed into my skin. The beads donot melt and stay as it is and makes me feel uneasy, imagine sleeping with scrub on :P These beads also stain and dirty my sheets so mom suggested that I should either wear socks or gently remove the beads with a soft towel. Anyways I like this great & innovative idea of scrub & cream packed together. I concentrate my massaging on the shoe bite marks I got in 3 places on each foot and I am happy to declare that they are fading away gradually.

This foot cream comes in a white plastic tube which is hygienic & travel friendly as the flip open lid click shuts tight. My feet are moisturised and exfoliated in 1 go and hence they are radiant and soft in the morning. Even after bathing, my feet stay silky & soft with no trace of dryness. This cream can be used by everyone and in all weather conditions. But I don't really think that this cream will work on very dry & rough feet immediately, you need to give it sometime before you start noticing the results.

Pros:-
* Does what it claims
* Considerably lightened the shoe bite marks
* Truly made my feet radiant & soft
* Gives exfoliation & nourishment in 1 go, very innovative concept
* Affordable & easily available
* Hygienic & travel friendly tube packaging
* Non greasy & light formula makes it perfect for daytime use as well

Cons:-
* Full ingredient list is not given
* I need 2 big blobs for a single foot so it will not see me through 1 month also
* The tiny pink beads left stains on my bed sheet, later on I started wearing a socks after gentle wiping off the beads

I rate this Jovees Foot Cream & Scrub 4.25 out of 5. It worked wonders for me and showed results almost immediately. Its a must try for all foot cream lovers. Do give it a try and you will thank yourself for it. Thank you and give a great day :)

JOVEES ROSE SKIN TONER- SWATCHES & REVIEW


100 ml for INR 130

Company Says:- Jovees Rose Skin Toner cum Astringent enlivens skin with special botanical extracts that includes Rose petals, Lemon grass, Chamomile & Sage helps normalize pH balance of skin, increases skin's ability to retain moisture, removes excess oils & helps to minimize enlarged pores to leave skin clean & clear.

Method of Use:- Clean face preferably with Jovees Strawberry or Tea Tree Face Wash & pat dry. Pour a few drops of Rose Skin Toner on cotton balls & dab on face & neck. Use twice daily.

Active Ingredients:- Rose Petals, Sage, Lemon Grass, Chamomile.

My Opinion:-
When I got bored of my Oriflame Aloe Toner, this bright red toner from Jovees caught my fancy. It was a spray bottle with a transparent plastic lid. The packaging is good enough for my frequent travels.

The fragrance of this attractive red toner is very sweet like that of fresh roses. It is so refreshing and lively that using it is a pleasure. But here I need to caution my friends with sensitive nose, the fragrance is on the stronger side. The fragrance doesnt stay after spraying the toner on skin.

It is a very light and mild toner/astringent and it did its job well. But it worked for a very less time, say for about an hour or so. After an hour my face would be oily again :( Anyways its gentle on my skin and never dried it out or made it feel stretchy. It also didnt harm my pimples, I could use it while I broke out. I have been using this toner twice a day since I bought it.

But my major problem with this toner/astringent is that it leaves a sticky film on my skin which goes away after say 15 mins. And yeah, its more freshening if its kept in the fridge. Anyways prolonged use of this toner has reduced my large pores to quite an extent. Also it gives life to dull/tired skin when sprayed on after a busy day.

Pros:-
* Active ingredients list is very impressive
* Didn't dry out my skin, its mild enough
* I love the bright red liquid and the spray bottle packaging
* Travel-friendly
* Strong rosewater fragrance is very refreshing

Cons:-
* Full ingredient list not given
* Leaves a sticky film behind after application, though it goes after 10-15 mins
* Becomes too frothy when shaked
* Controls the oiliness for around an hour only
* Plain rosewater works better than this Toner :P

I rate this Rose Skin Toner 3.5 out of 5 (-0.5 for sticky-ness & frothy-ness when shaked, -0.5 for non-effective-ness for oil control, -0.5 for non-availability of full ingredient list). I would prefer rosewater over this toner/astringent. Also my Avon Rose Toner is waiting for me to try it out.
