My Opinion: - Following yesterday's Lakme Fresh Fairness Face Wash & Scrub, today I will wrap up the Fresh Fairness Clean Up Regime with the last product in the line up- the Face Mask. The packaging is a pretty pink tube with opalescent screw-on cap which is very safe to travel with. I have used and carried along this mask with me many a times. It is a not so thick very pale pink creamy mask which is very soft and buttery in texture. To me it looks like a mixture of cream and lotion, does not feel like a clay mask as it is so light.

                       Coming to the fragrance part, I have hated the the scent this range carries. Its kind of artificial floral with that bleach kind of smell, for me its unpleasant but not unbearable. This mask is easy to apply and I usually apply it with fingers and it applies evenly without effort. It takes time to dry, atleast 12-15 mins. I use this mask after I use the Fresh Fairness Scrub and this gives me soft and smooth skin after washing off. This mask washes of easily and a little rubbing is enough to clean it off completely. It leaves a kind of oily/silky film over the surface of the skin which evaporates after I pat my skin dry. 

                         This Fresh Fairness Mask in combination with the scrub has de-tanning properties, it has taken off a slight tan from my skin which makes me love this mask. This mask thankfully does not whitens my skin but brightens and and gives a radiant after glow. But of-course all the effects are temporary and too short lived for my or anyone's liking. This mask is not that kind of oil controlling mask but upon washing off and patting dry my skin is oil free for quite some time and it also does not make my skin greasy or shiny. But as claimed by the brand, I did not see any pore tightening, this is false.

Pros: -


* Affordable & Easily Available

* De-tans in combination with the scrub

* Makes my skin bright & not white

* Gives me soft, smooth & radiant skin

* Easy to apply & Easy to wash off

* Suitable for all skin types specially in summer

Cons: -


* Same Artificial floral scent with bleach smell :/

* Takes time to dry

* Contains Parabens

                      I rate Lakme Fresh Fairness Clean Up Face Mask 4 out of 5. This is the best product in this range and therefore I give it a 4. Now I am not using it as I have pimples on my face and using the Clear Pores Clean Up Range. Inspite of the cons, specially the unpleasant scent I give it 4 as it has de-tanning properties as claimed by the brand. And also this mask like the wash & scrub did not give that much hated fake white look to the skin. This mask will truly suit all skin types in summers.

Lakme Clear Pores Clean Up Face Mask- Review

With Vitabeads

50g for INR 110

Lakme Says: - Salon-Like* Clean-Up Now Everyday At Home!
# Its Vitabeads & natural exfoliants are known to unclog pores to help remove blackheads, dead cells & excess oil for deeply clean, fresh & fair skin.

#Professional Tip: Use the complete 3 STEP Lakme Fresh Fairness CLEAN UP  regularly.

* Refers to basic products used in salon clean ups


Your skin is currently shedding cells, which leads to a build-up of dead cell and dull-looking skin. Scrub your face with Lakme Clean-up Fresh Fairness Face Scrub that exfoliates dead cells and removes excess oil. Enriched with Vitabeads, walnut shell powder and apricot extracts, it helps unclog pores, remove blackheads and restore your skin's fairness.(Taken from Lakme Website)

**Vitabeads are composed of Vitamin E,C & B3 to lighten skin tone**



Usage: Wet face. Take a generous amount and gently massage for 2-5 minutes in circular motion with fingertips avoiding the eye contour. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry.

Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly with clear water.


Ingredients: - Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Walnut Shell Powder, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, Glycery Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Meal, PEG 100 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Polysorbate-60, Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide, Perfume, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycerin, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Niacinamide, CI 17200, PPG-2, Methyl Ether, Phenethyl Alcohol, DMDM, Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

My Opinion: - After the Face Wash, now comes the scrub. The packaging is same pretty pink tube with opalescent screw-on cap and so I can carry it along while travelling without the risk of spillage or mess. The fragrance is fake floral but mild. I somehow associate it with bleach, I don't know why. The scrub is a thick creamy paste with medium sized granules which are not very abrasive but not very smooth either. The scrub is a milky pink in color and loaded with walnut shell and corn meal particles. This is not the scrub that sensitive skin ladies can use, and if at all you use, use it once a week. I myself being an oily factory don't use it more than once in 5-6 days. This one will be loved by ladies who love their scrub to be a bit on the abrasive side.

                            I squeeze out a big medium sized blob on the back of my palm and apply dots all over my wet face and neck. Then I gently begin to massage with circular motion all over with fingertips giving the least possible pressure. If you apply too much pressure it is harsh on your skin and if you massage gently it will not harm and redden your skin. This scrub is easy to wash off and the skin looks fresh and radiant after I pat it dry. It doesn't give that horrid stretchy after feel some scrubs/washes give. I always make it a point to follow it up with the Fresh Fairness Clean Up Mask.

                        This Scrub removes  excess oil, dead cells and dirt from the surface of the skin, thereby giving a radiant look. This scrub in combination with the mask has removed a bit of the slight tan I have on me now. The only thing I hate about this scrub apart from the scent is the fake temporary fairness it gives to my skin. It is horrible but it goes away after 30-45 mins or so. This scrub does not remove blackheads as claimed by the brand but I can tell you people that no scrub can remove blackheads, specially the stubborn ones.

                       This scrub apart from giving me wanted fake kind of fairness, also makes my skin soft and smooth. Immediately after washing it off, this scrub gives that fresh and clean feel to my skin. But this scrub needs to be used with caution. Use it for not more than 2-3 mins and with the gentlest pressure possible. Or it would give you red, splotchy and irritated skin. Also it is not safe enough to use during breakouts and hence I have stopped using it now since I have ugly pimples sitting on my face now (they are drying :D). There is nothing special about this scrub but overall a not bad either.

Pros: -


* Affordable & Easily Available

* Contains Vitabeads, Apricot Extracts, Walnut Shell Powder, all sounds impressive

* Screw-on packaging makes is travel safe

* Scrub particles are medium sized and not very harsh on the skin

* Has de-tanning capabilities when used in combination with the mask from the same range, which I always do

* Makes my skin soft & smooth

* Gives radiant glow and fresh-clean feel

Cons: -

* Fake floral scent with bleach like smell

* Fake & temporary fairness

* Not suitable for sensitive skin but Lakme claim its suitable for "All skin types"

                    I rate Lakme Fresh Fairness Clean Up Face Scrub 3.75 out of 5 as it needs to be used with caution. A scrub with no specialty, a bit more pressure or a minute more can give you an irritated skin with red patches. But if you are sure to use it carefully and you are a fan of Walnut scrubs then go ahead and indulge yourself. Or simply find yourself another one as there is no dearth of good scrubs in the market.

Hope this review helped you in some way. Thank you for reading this review and please do leave behind your experience with Scrubs. Have a great time ahead :)

Face Wash contains Iodine

My Opinion: - Yesterday I reviewed the newly launched Lakme Clear Pores Clean Up Range which were available in shops long before their formal launch. So today I am going to review the pretty pink Lakme Fresh Fairness Clean Up Range and I am starting with the face wash. In my Lakme Clear Pores Clean Up Face Scrub review post, I had said that I have been using an exfoliating face wash daily. Yes I was talking about Lakme Fresh Fairness Clean Up Face Wash with Vitabeads which I have been using since 45 days or so and I still have product left in the tube to be used. I don't use it when I use any scrub other than the Fresh Fairness Scrub.

                         Ok now coming back to the review, the packaging is a pretty pink tube with opalescent flip open lid which I never take along during my travels. The lid is not loose at first but somehow it does not stay tight after some days of use. And hence I fear it might create a big mess in my makeup/skin care kit. The fragrance is mild and artificial with a touch of floral notes, I personally don't like it and I would recommend checking out the scent at the store before purchasing. It smells somewhat like bleach if I am not wrong.

                           The face wash is a thick clear gel with a slight pink tinge to it with invisible beads which Lakme calls Vitabeads, you can just feel them when you rub your palms together to lather up the gel. I squeeze out a small blob of the gel on my palm and add a few drops of water, foam it and then apply to my wet face and neck and yes let me tell you it lathers up very well. I leave it to work for a minute or two and rinse off. Just a few splashes are enough to wash off the face wash and it does not leave behind any residue on my skin. It gives an instant cool tingling freshness, thanks to Menthol. The Vitabeads gives a gentle exfoliation to my skin which I think is necessary for oilies like me on a daily basis.

                              This Fresh Fairness Face Wash leaves my skin soft and radiant and gives an immediate whitening effect which I hate. The effects are temporary but one thing I like about this face wash is that it can control oil for 2-3 hours. Also it does not give me that horrid stretchy after feel. It removes dirt and grime and light make up with ease. Lakme claims this face wash is suitable for all skin types but I have a doubt as it controls oil and my skin is very oily so I think it will not suit dry skin. Lakme also claims that this range is enriched with Apricot Extracts along with Vitabeads but I do not see Apricot in the Ingredient list.

Pros: -


* Easily Available & Affordable

* Pretty Pink Packaging <3 <3 <3

* A small blob is enough for one use, 50 gms still going on after 1 + month of use

* Makes skin soft & radiant

* Gives cool tingling freshness

* Vitabeads gives mild exfoliation

* Washes off easily and does not leave behind any residue

* Cleans off dirt, grime & light makeup




Cons: -


* It smells mildly of bleach and the fragrance in overall is very fake

* Temporary effects

* Gives a fake whitening effect immediately on use

* Lakme website says that this range is enriched with Vitabeads & Apricots Extracts, then why is Apricot not mentioned on the ingredient list?



                I rate Lakme Fresh Fairness Clean Up Face Wash 3.75 out of 5. Its just another face wash with a slight exfoliating action. I hate the scent and the fake whitening effect it gives to my skin. Otherwise it cleans well and controls oil to some extent. Not for dry skin even if Lakme says this range suits all skin types, according to me. And that Apricot thing intrigues me :P

Lakme Clear Pores Clean Up Face Wash- Review

                 We all love to have a glowing skin, specially for important functions like parties, marriages, festival etc. If you are serious about the glow and fairness try out this mini facial.

* Start off by cleansing your face and neck with a cleansing lotion and cotton balls.

* Mix together 1 tbspn milk, 1tspn almond (powdered), 1 tspn chironji/ Buchanania lanzan (powdered) and a generous pinch of saffron (kesar). Now massage your face and neck with this paste for 10 mins.

* If you have blackheads, then steam your face for 2 mins and remove by pressing gently. Better to take professional help for blackhead removal.

* Now massage face with an ice cube for few seconds to close the pores and tighten the skin.

* Make a face pack by mixing together- 2 tspn kaolin, 2 tspn sandalwood powder, a handful of rose petals (made into a paste) and 1 tspn butter. Apply all over face and neck and leave on for atleast 10 mins. You can also add a little cucumber juice if you wish to.

* Wash off and see your skin glow like gold. You can do this facial whenever you need a special treatment for a special occasion. But avoid doing it more than once a week.

               This is my secret glow facial hope you all like it. Do you also have any skin glow secrets to share with us?
