KHADI MAURI FRUIT FACE PACK REVIEW


Hello Everyone…
As mentioned earlier, I bought some Khadi products for the first time. I must say, am really satisfied with their quality. In my Khadi Cucumber water review I said that the fruit face pack really did work for me. So I decided to write up a review on it.


By the way, I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned before that I have a combination type of skin. My T-zone does become a bit oily during the summers, but otherwise it’s normal. Whatever acne I develop it’s always on my forehead portion due to the heat and sweat. Ok, so lets start with the review J
PRICE:
Rs. 75/- (I bought this particular face pack from the Khadi Showroom near my home)


INGREDIENTS:
Gulab, Chandan, Narangi, Haridra, Khubani, Methi, Chandan Oil, Mulethi, Besan, Gulab Salva, Kaolin, Bentonile, Jal Seed, Pudina, Multani Mitti.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Controls acne, pimples, removes blemishes and scars from skin, improves complexion, lightens the skin, fades off wrinkles,makes skin fair,smooth and luminous.



DIRECTIONS TO USE:
Mix 2 tablespoon of the powder with water/ milk/ curd to produce a smooth paste. Apply the paste on the face and allow it to dry and then rinse off with fresh or luke warm water.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH KHADI MAURI FRUIT FACE PACK:
I never used face pack or ubtan before this one. I had no idea about the possible results. I saw it on the shop and thought of giving it a try. As khadi is a certified Institution under the Khadi Village Industries Commission (Govt. Of India) so had the impression that it would be total heral and no artificial ingredients would be used.





The pack is in powder form. It has a distinct chandan smell. You will have to make it into a paste before application. I generally donot use water. Instead I use Rose water, cucumber water and also a few drops of tea tree toner. In the first application my paste was a bit thick but from the second time I try to keep it a little watery but not runny in consistency otherwise it won’t stay on the face. Although in the directions it is said to use 2 tablespoon of the power but for my face one tablespoon of powder is more than enough. While applying the paste it gives a cool cool feeling. But as time passes and the pack dries and your face becomes stiff. I really can’t give any sort of expressions during that time. It does take a time of around 30 minutes to dry completely. I hate seeing myself in the mirror during that 30 minutes. Most of the time I become fed up and wash it off with luke warm water. After washing off the pack I do always follow up with a moisturizer. After washing off I find my skin a lot fairer and fresh. My skin looks happy( really I feel so). I apply this pack atleast once a week. Oh one thing I would like to mention here that the pack comes in a steel cylindrical container and I had a real tough time opening the cap of the container. But lastly I want to say that I totally love this face pack.

PROS:
·         Totally herbal
·         Pretty economic
·         Gives a healthy glow to the skin
·         Availability is not a problem as it’s easily getable through many online shopping sites.

CONS:
·         The packaging.
·         Face becomes too stiff.

RATING:

4.5 out of 5

KHADI FACE CLEANSER CUCUMBER WATER REVIEW


Hi Everyone…
As summer is in it’s top form, I have developed a habit of giving a temporary relief to my face by spraying chilled rose water, khadi mint and cucumber face freshner, rubbing ice cube etc etc. Although the relief in too short but it does freshen me up. Due to the weather condition in Kolkata, I sweat a lot and have developed few acnes on my forehead L, which I am desperate to get rid of. Recently I bought some face packs from Khadi which really worked for me (specially the fruit face pack). That’s why I decided to give this Cucumber Water a shot.




PRICE:
Rs 70 (I got it on Rs 63)

INGREDIENTS:
Aqua, Cucumber





PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
With honey, Cucumber extracts and barberry. Removes pimples, makes skin smooth, soft and lustrous. 






DIRECTIONS TO USE:
Wet face and neck with water, then apply cucumber cleanser with cotton. After 5 to 10 minutes wash it.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH KHADI FACE CLEANSER CUCUMBER WATER:
As Khadi products are totally herbal, it has become one of my favorite brand. Till now I don’t have any complaint about any of the products of Khadi. So coming to the packaging of the product, it comes in a white transparent bottle with a flip open top. One bad thing about the packaging is that if the bottle is not kept upright, it leaks. I did waste some by keeping it horizontally. The liquid is a translucent in nature. It doesn’t have any smell as such. As per directions, I use it on a wet face with a cotton ball. It does not sting or irritate my face at all nor does it feels sticky on your face. After washing off the liquid, it gives a fresh and a smooth feeling. One thing I don’t understand why they have directed to apply it on a wet face and not on a dry face??? Whatever, I also use this cucumber water to make my face pack. Overall it’s a good product, although nothing great but useful.



PROS OF KHADI FACE CLEANSER CUCUMBER WATER:
·         Herbal
·         Can be used in a multiple way
·         Reasonably priced
·         Cleans as well as tones
·         Gives a fresh  feeling
·         Contains no smell
·         Availability is not really a problem (thanks to the online shopping sites)
·         Can be used all round the year

CONS OF KHADI FACE CLEANSER CUCUMBER WATER:
·         The packaging but other than that I am quite satisfied with the product

RATING:
·         4 out of 5
