PRODUCT
JC recommends this product for people with scarred and damaged skin. Rightly so! Let's look at the restorative properties of its 3 main ingredients :-
Jasmine : The sweet scent of jasmine hits you as soon as you open the jar. Extracted from the jasmine flower, the essential oil of jasmine can help dehydrated skin and aids in cellular renewal.
Neroli : Neroli essential oil is obtained from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, found in Western India. An excellent emollient, it helps in maintaining skin elasticity and clearing acne scars.
Wheatgrass: This well known detoxifier clears impurities in your skin thereby imparting a glow and its antiseptic properties help in healing acne.
TO USE
- Prepare your skin by cleansing it and placing a hot towel over your face and neck for about 5 minutes. This will open the pores making it easier for the scrub to remove black & white heads and to smoothen your face.
- Transfer one scoop of the product onto a cup or your palm. Add a few drops of plain water or rose water to make a thick paste. I prefer a thick consistency for my scrub. Massage over face and neck for 3-4 minutes and rinse with cool water.
- Pat dry and follow up with rose or lavender water to tone and soothe.
REVIEW
I have been using this facial scrub for over a month and a half. Though strong, I like the scent of jasmine - it is invigorating. It works like a charm in softening skin, making it fresh and imparting a faint glow. The presence of himalayan rock salt makes it really hard to detect the three types of sugars used as base. I find this scrub slightly abrasive and hence do not use it when I have active acne. I use it once a week.
This face scrub has a shelf life of 6 months. I purchased a 75 gm jar. Being sure I will not exhaust all of it in 6 months I share it with my sister who loves it just as much as I do.
VERDICT
Fairly priced
Efficient facial scrub that over a period of time can help in reduction of acne scars
Might not be suitable for persons who are allergic to the scent of jasmine. Patch test recommended before use
Not advisable for use over active breakouts
