Hola Girls, Do you remember few days back I talked about my first meeting with Botanic Love? What’s so interesting about the brand? Well, for the starters, it’s cruelty free , parabene free, chemical free & sulphate free brand, good enough for you? Cool. Before I tell you about the product- Botanic Love Anti Acne & Blemish Mask, let me take you few days back when my skin was in very bad phase due to viral fever & it’s medication. It was breaking out like hell. If you remember I was not even posting any selfies over my Instagram account. My skin was really stressed out. All the good bacteria was dead because of the antibiotics I took. And it took a toll on my skin. Meanwhile, I got an invite to visit Botanic Love. So I was all clad in L’Oreal Infallible Foundation, which was not behaving well that day. I was looking really orange-ish, maybe, the foundation oxidized which it was not supposed to. Tina, the brand owner, listened to me carefully and removed the heavy layer of foundation I was having over my skin. I was kind of uneasy, but I caved in. She wanted to do her bit to relive my skin. She used galvanic machine to penetrate Botanic Love Rosemary Facial Gel into my skin, and later she applied a thin layer of Botanic Love Anti Acne & Blemish Mask. The result was instant when she removed the mask after 10 minutes. My skin was calm, cool and settled in. The redness was gone. So while leaving the store, I did not forget to pick up the duo. I really thank my self for that decision. Botanic Love Anti Acne & Blemish Mask Unclogs pores & releases oil & dirt from pores. Skin soothing clay based. Heals blemishes, keeps skin matte and prevents breakouts. Non drying formula. Contains anti-oxidants such as Green Tea & Willow Bark Fuss Free application & rinse Price Rs. 572 for 200 gm. You can buy it from Ihaat.in or via the brand’s Facebook page. Ingredients Willow Bark, Tea Tree Oil, Peppermint Oil, Kaolin Clay, Symplocos, Racemosa, Acorus Calamus. If you are wondering what are the last 3 ingredients, these are scientific names for the plants & herbs that are used in Indian Auyrveda. You can Google the names and find out more about them. Packaging The mask comes in a glass jar with an aluminum lid over it. Botanic Love, mostly packages, it’s products in glass jar so that the products stays fresh and efficient for long time, since glass does not interfere with the product composition. I really appreciate her concern to maintain the efficacy of the product even after it has been sold. Though It is not that convenient to carry a mask packed in 200gm glass packaging while travelling, but I think I can ignore that fact for the results the mask has been giving me. The packaging is otherwise leak proof. Fragrance & Texture It has quite a fresh & cooling herbal smell since it contains essential oils such as Teatree oil & Peppermint oil. You can also smell clay since it’s an off white clay based mask. I really like the cooling smell it has. The essential oils has a calming effect on my senses. Even though it is a clay based mask, it is easy to spread. I sometimes feel bit of granuals in the texture, but they do not irritate the skin. I apply some generous amount of the mask over my face covering the acne prone areas effectively. My Experience When I was leaving the store, Tina advised me to use the mask every day at night before going to sleep until my skin clears up. She also advised to stop using AHAGlow S. I was actually using AHAGlow S at least once a day, till the day I met Tina. She told me, my skin was not able to regenerate and it was a lot of exfoliation happening resulting into large/open pores. She was so right. My facial skin really wanted something mild and soothing rather than a strong chemical agent like salicylic acid every single day in the name of regular exfoliation. I have stopped using AHAGlow S on regular basis. Maybe, I shall use it once/twice a week since I have an unused bottle lying in my bathroom. I have been using the Rosemary Gel & Acne Mask from Botanic Love every day. The mask dries up within 10-15 minutes of application. Tina advised to take off the mask while it’s still damp. Hence I take off the mask after 10 minutes. Rinsing off the mask is as fuss free as applying it. It washes away quickly in few splashes of water with a little of massaging. This clay mask does not leave my skin dry afterward. I don’t know what ingredient does this hydration, but there is not even a bit of stretchy feeling after using this mask, given that I have been using it once a day. The effect? Within a week, it changed my skin a lot. It really calmed down the angry acne & blemishes I was having on my skin. I still have few zits left but they are not that red or irritated one. I hope it will take away the scars too. My pore size also look minimized. Hence my skin texture is refined. Makeup goes well over it and there are very less number of blocked pores. Skin stays matte & calm. No irritation , redness or allergy noted given that it contains a lot of natural ingredients. Even my sister used this mask along with me. She too liked the way her skin reacted to the mask. It brightened her skin tone & refined her skin texture. Initially the product looked costly to me, I was bit hesitant. But after Tina gave me a session with the products, I thought, let’s give them a shot. I would say, the mask is economical in long term, since a bit of the formula is required for each application. Summary : ❤❤❤❤❤ Botanic Love Anti Acne & Blemish Mask is a total game changer for me. I wish I had found it earlier. It works on existing acne, plus fight the occurrence too. It refines skin textures. Keeps skin fresh & matte. The mask acts gently on skin without leaving it dry or irritated. For some people the price may look bit high, but, trust me it is worth the results. Above all the brand is ecofriendly & vegan and it’s products are chemical free, parabene free, sulphates free, synthetic dye free. I just wish the brand is more widely available. Good things should be available to all the needy souls around. Thanks Botanic Love for bringing out such a wonderful product. I hope to try out more from you. So girls, have you used any product form the brand – Botanic Love? Isn’t the brand name really lovely? Leave your comments below. Much Love. Disclaimer: Even though the brand invited me over to have a look and feel of the products, I bought the Acne Mask & Rosemary Gel for myself to try it out. The review posted above it 100% honest.

{New} L’Oreal Skin Expert Pure Clay Mask – Purify & Mattify : Review

Nisha Malik — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 23:35:13 +0000

As I mentioned in my last post, I have to deal with my oily skin & dry hair issues on my own. On my journey to get a matte & clearer skin, I have been experimenting a lot of clay /powder based masks. Though I was quite happy with this Sandalwood face pack, I went ahead and bought L’Oreal Skin Expert Pure Clay Mask – Purify & Mattify, since beauty bloggers are raving about it so much. After all it’s from L’Oreal, the hype was expected. So I have used it 3-4 times by now following the direction on the pack to use it every alternate day. I feel I can pen down my experience with this new clay based mask in town. You ready? Let’s go. The clay mask contains 3 pure clays & Eucalyptus. The clay mask helps to get rid of impurities, dirt & oil from the skin which can clog pores & leave skin utterly oily. Purify & Mattify Pure Clay Mask leaves skin clarified, mattified & refreshed skin tone. What does the combination of Kaolin + Montmorillonite + Morocon Lava Clay + Eucalyptus do to your skin? Draws out of impurities, dirt & oils Unclogs pores Reduces excess oil Refreshes & allows skin to breath Price Rs. 850 for 48gm. Ingredients Packaging The clay mask comes packaged in a heavy square shaped glass tub with a light green colored lid over it’s mouth. There is also a plastic lid over the mouth to avoid any kind of spill. The outer packaging of the clay mask, which is also light & dark green themed, contains all the information regarding the product like ingredients, price, how to use, about the product etc. Fragrance & Texture It smells earthy & quite fresh, as a clay mask is supposed to smell. The texture of the mask is smooth & thick but easy to spread. The mask is light mint colored which also looks very refreshing. How To Use? Simply apply a thin layer of the mask over pre cleansed skin. Allow 10-15 minutes to let the mask dry. Remove with water. My Experience Clay masks are oily & acne skin’s best friends. They literally soak out gunk & oil out of skin, shrinking pores & giving a healthy look. I just described an ideal clay mask. So did L’Oreal Pure Clay deliver all these qualities? I love how fresh it smells. Just the right kind of fragrance it has. I feel a smirk on my lips. I use a spatula to take out some product & apply a thin layer over my face leaving my eye area & mouth. For the first 15-20 seconds I feel a nice tingling sensation, like something is penetrating deep into my skin. I love it when a product gives me tingling sensation. The tingling sensation somehow assures me that it is working. It takes only 10-15 minutes & it is mostly dry. I splash some water on my face and start massaging it in circular motion, the right way to remove a face mask, specially a clay mask. And finally rinse with water, a lot of water. Pat dry and examine my face in the mirror above my bathroom sink. My skin looks fresh, clean & calm. But I wonder what will it take to get rid of the blocked pore I have few here and there. Yeah, it just can not get rid of those under skin bumps. I think it will take more time to actually see a reduction in blocked pores. Likes Contains 3 clays – Kaolin, Montmorillonite, Moroccan Lava as well as Eucalyptus. Smooth texture & spreads nicely on skin. Smells very nice. Gives a nice tingling sensation, I enjoy it. Leaves skin matte, fresh & clean. Does not dry out my skin. Suitable for all skin types. No breakouts or allergies noticed. Dislikes Very pricey for a clay based mask. Does not really get rid of the blocked pores. Works superficially. Overall, I think, L’Oreal Skin Expert Pure Clay Mask – Purify & Mattify, is an average clay mask. The product is not a must have. If you do not have a problematic skin, you would love the refreshing effect it gives to your skin. But otherwise, it would not help much with oily skin issues. ❤❤❤❤ This was my experience. It was not able to impress me or my skin. I would should have tried the exfoliating mask instead. Do you like to use clay masks? Which one is you HG? Love…
