Scrubs always attract me, owing to the fact that scrubs polish the skin. I picked this product with the attraction towards the scrub that is visible through its package tube.

My Experience with Lotus Herbals Berryscrub:

Packaging: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub comes in a soft press able plastic tube which is partially see-through. The tube has a flip cap with a hole for the product to run out. The details about the product and brand are printed on the top side of the tube body with an attractive shiny finish.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The color of the scrub product is transparent base with brown-orange mixed type of scrubbing particles. The base is like a gel.

The consistency is very thin and runny. You tilt the tube, all the product inside the tube runs from one side to another. Though the base looks like a gel, it is very watery.

The fragrance of the product is somewhere in between mild to strong. The name of the scrub says Strawberry and Aloe vera, forget aloe vera, there is no smell of strawberry too on my smelling senses. There is some amount of sour fruity scent indicating the lemon and orange extracts being present.

 

How it works: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash lathers minimum. The scrub granules are of mixed shape and sharpness. There are some which are a little big than needed for face scrubbing and they are sharp too. These scrub the face a little more that needed. The package says All Skin Types; definitely no, the scrub is a little harsh on the dry skin. Also it is not suitable during winter for removing the dead skin flakes. This is a good product for oily skin. My skin felt more dry and stretchy after washing with this product.

But, I have found another way of using this product, as a body scrub. This gives a very good massaging sensation when rubbed on the body. You can skip your usual body wash the day you introduce this Lotus scrub. It scrubs and washes too very well. The much needed scrubbing for heels, elbow, knee joint, and back of the neck is done by Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash.

 

PROS of Lotus Herbals Berryscrub:

• Easy handling tube package with flip cap.
• See though tube.
• Mixed type of scrub.
• Gel based.
• Available at good price.
• Makes a very good body scrub.
• Removes dead cells and leaves the skin soft when used as a body scrub.

CONS of Lotus Herbals Berryscrub:

• Not a good face scrub.
• There are some harsh scrub particles which are not suitable for face scrubbing.
• Suitable for oily skin, not good for dry skin.

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 3/5

Do I Recommend Lotus Herbals Berryscrub?: Yes. Though not a perfect face scrub, it is a perfect body scrub.

Would I Repurchase Lotus Herbals Berryscrub?: Yes. I am on my third tube.

VLCC Natural Sciences Gold Scrub Review

Guest Post by Yendrilla

Hi Guys I’m Yendrilla, a part time blogger from India. This is my first post on MABH and I am up with a review of a scrub today. First I should tell you I love to experiment with products like scrubs and face washes. I had been looking for a scrub which will add radiance to my skin and I ended up buying this VLCC Natural Sciences Gold Scrub.

Product Description:
Exposure to environment factors like pollution and dust make skin look dull
and lifeless. This unique scrub, enriched with 24 Carat Pure Gold, Turmeric and Sandalwood, has a
deep pore cleansing action that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, superficial white and black-heads. It
leaves the skin fresh and glowing with a radiant complexion.


Price & Quantity:
Rs.135 for 70 gm


Key Ingredients:
The face wash has mentioned the key ingredients as “Extracts of Alovera,
Sandalwood, Raisin, Turmeric, Gold Leaf, Xantham Gum, Dimethicone, Triclosan and Vitamin E”.


My Experience with this Product:
This product is packed in a golden coloured tube with a flip type cap which makes it hygienic for usage. No complaints about the packaging; it is pretty okay.

The scrub is gel based, yellowish in color and almost transparent with some yellow micro granules and small gold particles in it. It has a mild fragrance which is really soothing.

It is very gentle on skin. I am using it for the past 2 weeks and my blackheads have almost gone. It provides a deep pore cleansing action that gently exfoliates dead skin cells. Though I didn’t find much radiance effect in my skin as the product claims. Okay, now let sum up with the pros and cons.


Pros:        

• Comes in a hygienic and travel friendly packaging.
• The consistency of this scrub looks attractive due to the small gold particles.
• This granules are very mild so that even sensitive skin types can use it.
• I did experience no side effects with this scrub as its formulation is very gentle on skin.
• Though mild and gentle, it does a deep pore cleansing action effectively.
• It clears blackheads very well. All my blackheads were almost disappeared within 2 weeks of usage.
• The price is that not costly.

Cons:

• I did not find much radiance as expected.

My Rating: 3.5/5



Recommendation: I think this scrub will suit all skin types except the extra dry ones. After using it, my skin got a little dry and hence I think it will do best on oily skin. However, if you want to clear your blackheads, then you can give this product a try.


Would I repurchase?:  I guess NO. I didn’t like this scrub that much. There are many more scrubs in the market with better results, at much cheaper cost. Right?

Homemade Facial Kit with Kitchen Ingredients

MABH 400 Followers Celebration Contest Entry Post 5 by Chand

Facial is one of the most important skin care regime. Facial massage treatment helps blood circulation, skin elasticity, reducing age wrinkles and increase skin glow. It also retains the moisture in the skin. Facial massage is the best method to get rid of black heads and white heads.

There are so many facial kits in the market. Many kits perform well and are very efficient on the skin. Yet, there is something more efficient and worth believing in its performance on the skin. All the items from your very own kitchen shelf make into a great facial kit.

I usually follow the kitchen shelf items facial massage routine. My Facial Kit comprises of

•         Milk
•         Milk cream
•         Crushed almond powder
•         Tomato juice
•         Few drops of honey

Done. These items are readily available at any point of time in any body’s kitchen.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Cleanse & Massage

Milk forms an excellent skin cleanser. Massage a spoon of milk on to your face for about 2 minutes and wipe it off with a wet cotton or tissue. Milk cream forms a great massage cream. The hydration it provides to the skin is excellent. I take a coin size of amount of the milk cream to massage my facial and neck. (Yes, do not forget to massage your neck as well.) Massage for about 10 minutes. [Editors Note: This process provides hydration to the skin and also cleanses the dirt, makeup residues and dust effectively]

Step 2: Scrub

My scrub is the almond powder. It is a perfect scrub granule for the skin. It is not harsh on the skin. Since it is mild scrub, scrubbing can be carried on even up to 10 minutes. But lazy, I do the scrubbing only for 5 minutes.

Step 3:  Steam

After the scrubbing I give a hot steam treatment for my face and neck. I use a vaporizer for this method. A thick towel dipped into hot water and drained can also be used for this treatment.

Step 4: Facial Pack Treatment

A pack on the face will complete the facial treatment. I usually prefer a thin layer of the face pack on my face and neck. So, I use 3 spoons of tomato juice, 3 drops of honey and quarter spoon of almond powder. If you need a thick paste, reduce the amount of tomato juice and increase the amount of almond powder. Apply evenly on face and neck and wash after the pack dries.

There….. You have saved lots of your hard earned money.

Editor's Note: That's a fabulous post Chand. I am surely trying this facial soon.
