Colour Consistency & Fragrance: This is a cream based light beige coloured scrub with dark brown walnut granules in it. I am totally impressed with the colour and consistency of this scrub. The fragrance is neither floral nor fruity but a mild scented one which would not irritate sensitive noses. I prefer my skincare products to be sweet scented and expected the same from this one, but then it is okay for the price.

How it works: 
This walnut scrub spreads smoothly over my facial skin as it is cream based. The granules are not harsh but little on the harder side than some other milder scrubs. After all, it is a scrub and it should do its exfoliating job well, Right? The scrub exfoliates my skin well when I worked on with circular motions in a gentle manner. After 2 minutes of scrubbing, I splashed some cold water over my face and voila! Though being cream based, this scrub gets washed off very quickly with a single splash without leaving any slippery feel behind.
       As claimed, this scrub nourishes, remove dead skin cells and blackheads (Up to a good extent but I have a little doubt about how it would work on stubborn big black heads) in a good manner. Surprisingly this scrub doesn't leave my skin dry at all. Being normal-oily skinned, I skipped my moisturizer after using this scrub but if you are on normal-dry and dry skin type side, moisturizer is a must. Overall, this is a good scrub which works effectively in removing impurities, leftover makeup residues and mild blackheads from the skin.


PROS

• Comes in a handy, mess-free and travel friendly packaging.
• This scrub does the exfoliating job really well
• Clears out impurities, dirt and mild blackheads 
• Washes out quickly without leaving any slippery feel behind
• Doesn't leave skin dry; this scrub works best on dry skin types
• The fragrance is decent; sensitive noses will not be affected.
• Contains natural substances like walnut, wheatgerm and aloevera
• You need only a small quantity for whole face and neck; hence the product lasts long
• Price is reasonable for the worth

CONS

• I expected some floral/fruity fragrance from this scrub (Greedy me :P I know)
• Not suitable for usage in extra oily skin types. Though it doesn't make face greasy soon after usage, your T Zone will be filled with oiliness 2-3 hours after this scrub usage in case if you have extra oily skin.

Rating: 4/5


Recommendation: This scrub suits all skin types expect the super oily skin. Definitely get one if you are dry skinned! Anyone can use this scrub for better exfoliation and soft skin expect the super oily girls. This scrub leaves skin soft, glowing and moisturized without leaving it dry.


Would I Repurchase?: Yes. I am actually planning to repurchase it on winter so that it can prevent dryness from my skin after scrubbing unlike the other scrubs.

Prakriti Herbals Rose Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Review

Facials gels, body gels and everything that is GEL based would be my favorite anytime. I don't know why but I am fond of skincare gels. Most of them are refreshing, cooling and also light on skin. When I happened to check this new come herbal skincare brand, Prakriti Herbals, I checked out their skin gels first. And this is the product attracted me a lot because of its rose and aloe content. Though I am not a huge fan of Aloe vera (It's smell.. uff), I have always been a lover of rose flowers, rose petals and rose water. I love the rose's very refreshing fragrance and almost use rose water everyday. When I came to know about this gel, I was super exited to try it as it has rose extracts. I have been using this soothing gel for past few feels and let us now check my detailed review. Before going onto the review, do check few lines about Prakriti Herbals.

My Experience with this Product:

Packaging
I was really impressed with this product's packaging when I first received it. It comes in a broad transparent tube made of thick plastic. It has a screw cap which can also be flipped and squeezed to take the product out. There are no leakage or spilling while travel as the packaging is sturdy enough, hence I have no complaints about the packaging part. The pack is simple, cute, easy to use and of course handy; Yes! you can carry it around in your handbag very easily.

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The gel is clear and transperant with a very light lavender tint (Which I loved).  It has a moderate to thick consistency and a smooth spreading texture. It goes smooth onto the skin and gets absorbed in a jiffy. The fragrance of this soothing gel can be said as rose water-sh and floral but surprisingly the fragrance is very mild and not over powering. You will like its fragrance if you are a rose water/floral fragrance lover like me and in case if are much on the side of very sweet fruity fragrances, this won't attract you much; and after all, it is a soothing skin gel, no a fruit flavoured cake or chocolate, no so worries :D

How it works
I was impressed of the packaging and consistency of this gel and hence started using it from the day itself after I got it. It goes smooth on the skin and gets absorbed easily without taking much time. Skin feels a nice cooling and relaxing sensation soon after this gel has been applied. I use this gel mostly after washing my face and before applying a moisturizer. When I am out of my toner, it acts well as a toner in closing pores and gives my skin an oil-free even finish. If you have very oily skin and afraid of using any moisturizer (Yikes, most of the moisturizers leave oily skin greasy except some water-based ones, don't you agree?), you can definitely try this gel as your day time moisturizer.
        Simply dab this gel on your facial skin, massage gently until it gets completely absorbed and wear your compact. This will be a great simple moisturizing routing for extra oily skin types. This gel soothes out the dry, stretchy areas and gives a cool relaxing sensation to the skin. If you have normal skin type, use this gel before putting on your moisturizer and dry skin beauties, you will surely need something rich and creamy but you can use this for an instant relief; Say 10-20 minutes, it will keep your skin soft without drying. Currently, I am using this gel as my day time and night time moisturizer (I have oily-combination skin type in monsoons) as this monsoon is making me feel frustrated of irregular temperature. This gel just balances out the moisture loss in cheek areas and keeps my nose areas oil free and this shows that this gel is very much suitable for oily and combination skin typed people. I have nothing bad to say about this soothing gel, it is just perfect for everyday use, especially in summers when our (Oily skin typed people)  faces tend to change as oil wells.
       Rs. 120 for 60ml is not that an expensive price for this multipurpose product, so get one for yourself and use it to know its worth. It can be used as a skin toner for all skin types, moisturizer for oily skin type and what not? It also serves as an under eye gel (Yes! It calms eyes so well) and after tan skin gel. I highly recommend this product to everyone who love gels and rose flavour!


PROS:

• Soothes and refreshes skin
• Gives a nice cooling sensation
• Does provide enough moisture for oily skin types
• Best for summer usage
• Can be used after long sun exposure to calm down skin
• Gives relief from irritating sunburn
• Can be used as an under eye gel
• Mild rose fragrance
• Gets absorbed quickly
• Can be used as a toner as well
• Leaves skin soft, supple and smooth
• Handy and travel friendly packaging
• Price is not expensive comparing with its goodness

CONS:

• Availability is an issue but you can get it from few Indian online shopping sites
• It claims to moisturize all skin types but dry skins would definitely need something rich and creamy. (This can't be taken as a con for the price and other goodness. If you're an oily skin typed person, this will definitely move to your HG list)

Rating: 4.5/5


Recommendation: I highly recommend this product (Yes, It just jumped into my HG list) for every oily and combination skinned beauty out there. Even if you have dry/normal skin type, you must give this a try at least once for its cooling and calming sensation on skin. No one can hate this product, especially the gel lovers!


Would I Repurchase?: What do you think I will say other than YES? :)
