This is one of the best products I have been using lately. So, lets proceed to see why it works??
Price: 145 INR for 100 gms (affordable!!)
Ingredients
Lotus Herbals is a herbal brand but not free of chemicals so it has its own share of them as you can see in the pic. The active ingredients include oatmeal and yogurt as stated in the name though they appear in the middle of the ingredient list (not the highest concentration of the active ingredients).
My Experience
So, in the pic, you see what the company says about the product and its method of usage. Of course, you all must already be familiar with how to use a scrub. I like to use this scrub after cleansing my face and I generally use it in shower. There is a reason to that which I’ll tell you in a minute.
So, this scrub is very yogurty in look and feel too. For the first time, a scrub has looked so different to me. Its just as if you have dried the yogurt and powdered it. It is quiet granular and the granules are not at all spiky or ragged that they will tear at your skin. They are just enough granular to provide a good exfoliation. And, its smell is kinda weird. I donno how to classify it but you can like it or you might not like it but it is definitely not overpowering. Instead, the smell is quite subtle.
Now, coming to the claims of this scrub, yes, it does pass all the tests you can hope. No, it will not turn you white and into a fairy after a single use. But, it considerably makes your skin brighter and removes tanning to quite an extent. The reason I am saying this is coz I have used it on my arms and this one is one of the few products which actually showed a difference (not a lot but yes better enough to be considered). That’s the reason I like to use this in the shower and it is easy to apply on the neck too in the shower.
My Recommendation
I do not really end up falling for many products and this is one I like. So, yes, you will like it too and its pretty much affordable and lasts quite long if used only on face and neck. Since I am using on the arms, I think it might go away soon. So, go ahead and give it a try!! And, for the record, almost all the bloggers (wherever I have read till now) have given it a thumbs up.
