♥ Auravedic ~ Pure Aloe Vera Gel and Sandal Turmeric Pure Lightening Skin Polish ~ Review ♥

I am not a big fan of Aloe Vera products as i find them very artificial. Green jelly like consistency doesn't really impress me as it looks so fake. I heard alot and know that Aloe Vera is very good but whats with the color??? When Aloe Vera is cut it shows white gel like substance not green!! And how much ever some brands claim it to be natural when i see in green color i just don't even think twice before tossing it off!! And when i was sent these two products from Auravedic i was really skeptical. As for the Skin Polish i needed a change in the scrub, i really get bored quite soon with the products i use often!! So it was such a welcome but Aloe Vera Gel????

Before i tossed it away too i wanted to see and just swiped it on my the back of my hand and let it stay for few mins. And when i smelled and felt that part of the skin.... i was like surprised!!

First of all it looked natural no color!! And second it smelled damn good !! third skin felt so damn damn good!!

So i had to right away try it on my face. I tried the Skin Polish first and then applied Aloe Vera Gel and let it stay till mildly dry and then washed off with water. Haven't applied anything else after that!! Not even a drop of moisturizer!

The next day morning, my BFF and my Dear H too complimented that the skin looked fresh, hydrated and lovely!!

I have a moody skin and currently its sort of dehydrated (not dry) and i guess i just got the right product... now whats there not to love???

What i ♥ about Sandal Turmeric Skin Polish ~

• Comes in a sturdy light weight plastic tub with a inner cap.
• Packing is simple n nice.
• Smells damn good, a very nice and pleasant Sandalwood fragrance.
• Polish is not too rough and harsh on skin (i have sensitive skin and any harsh scrub sort reddens up my cheeks, which didn't happen in this case).
• Its a gentle polish and would be suitable to all skin types including sensitive (just do a patch  test initially if you have a history of sensitivity towards essentials oils and natural extracts).

I am loving this product too just that i didn't leave it on for few minutes as suggested. This time am surely gonna do that and see what difference it makes.

Overall first a polish and then applying gel to skin did wonders to my de-hydrated and dull skin.

And these being free of Parabens, SLS and harmful chemicals makes them all the more desirable!!

So what's your take? Do you love products free of Parabens etc., ?? Or do you think its just a hype?

Have you tried any of these products??

Some more info about the Ingredients ~

• Red Sandalwood powder is mostly used as base in any cosmetic product and sandalwood is generally known for soothing and calming properties.
• Ambe haldi is nothing but Turmeric known for its anti-septic and whitening properties.
• Saffron is mostly used in cosmetics which are made of natural extracts and it helps alot in lightening of the skin.
• Nagarmotha has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Kapurkachri has antiseptic properties.
• Jethimadh is nothing but Licorice which possesses potent and effective anti-inflammatory, antioxidant as well as melanogenesis-inhibiting properties (helps in inhibiting formation of melanin by the cells).
• Ashwagandha Roots are known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, antioxidant and rejuvenating properties.
• Orange Peel has anti-oxidants and vitamin C which help to get a clean and glowing complexion.

Other info ~

Free of Parabens, SLS, Harmful Chemicals and Colors

Not tested on animals.

For external use only.

Keep out of eyes.

Store in cool dry place.

Due to high concentration of natural extracts, essential oils and floral waters, this product may not be suitable for all skin types.

What it claims ~

Ubtan cleansing mask prepared from a traditional formulation of natural herbs, nourishes and leaves skin smooth, radiant and glowing. Natural extracts of Sandal, Turmeric and Saffron ensure that the beauty of the skin is enhanced and nourished.

Usage ~

Mix Ubtan with Oil or Milk or Rose Water. Gently massage over skin. Leave paste on skin for a few mins before rinsing off to reveal smooth, soft and glowing skin.

Qty ~ 50 gms

Price ~ 200 INR

What i ♥ ~

• Mix this powder with Oil for dry skins, with milk for normal to combination skins and with water or rose water for oily skins. I personally loved with Milk as it really did give out an instant tinge of glow to my dull and tired skin at night. *I preferred to add cold milk*
• Single mask suits all the skin types just with a change of base (oil or milk or rosewater).
• Smells heavenly which i totally love!!
• When mixed with milk, it didn't leave any tinge of color on the skin behind. And Milk is also a skin whitening agent, so its a great mask for skin lightening.
• Need only a tea spoon at the max for one time use, which means its going to last for pretty long time for me.

I haven't found anything which i dislike yet!! I love to add this about a tea spoon or two to my bengal gram flour which i use as cleansing agent instead of soap for daily use. More for the divine smell it has and the way my skins feels after use. And i am seriously loving it!!

Though i have sensitive skin (with combination type) my skin hasn't showed any signs of discomfort or irritation. But as mentioned earlier, this product does have high concentrations of natural extracts, essentials oils and floral waters which may not be suitable for all skin types. Its ADVISABLE to do a small patch test before you go full-fledged.

Do i recommend??? Highly !!

So do you think you wanna try this amazing product??

♥ Ritual Auravedic Skin Lightening Mask ~ Review ♥

I was sent these products by Auravedic sometime back. And since these being the face masks(not lipsticks or nailpolishes) i had to try well and for long, before i expressed my opinion on these.

So today i have the Skin Lightening Mask from Auravedic for the review ~

Ingredients ~

Red Sandal, Saffron, Turmeric, Neem, Tulsi, Licorice, Kapurkachri, Nagarmotha, Amla, Mulberry, Papaya Enzyme, Sorbitol, Potassium Sorbate

Some more info about the Ingredients ~

• Nagarmotha has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Sorbitol in cosmetics is often used as humectant(retaining or preserving moisture) and as a thickener.
• Licorice possesses potent and effective anti-inflammatory, antioxidant as well as melanogenesis-inhibiting properties.
• Kapurkachri has antiseptic properties.
• Mulberry has rejuvenating properties.

Other info ~

100% Pure Natural Plant Extracts
Check for sensitive skin.
No animal testing done.
For external use only.

What it claims ~

This gentle facial mask formulated with pure natural actives, deeply penetrates the skin to lighten the complexion and clarify dark spots for glowing and radiant skin.

Usage ~

Cleanse face before applying the mask. Keep on fir 15-20 mins before gently washing off with water. Use daily for maximum results.

Qty ~ 50 gms

Price ~ 200 INR

What i ♥ ~

• This mask contains Sandal, Saffron and Turmeric; all the ingredients which aid in skin lightening.
• While neem and tulsi aid in clarifying the skin, amla is a good anti-oxidant which protects skin from free radicals.
• Papaya is well known for its power to give a boost to the skin which helps in having a glowing complexion.
• Its a ready to use mask, so very travel friendly.
• Smells heavenly, reminds me of the fresh sandalwood paste you can smell in Temples in South India.
• Skin has shown a lot of improvement and lightened up a little (haven't used daily as advised).

Some may find this mask too yellow and not like, it leaving a yellow tinge on the skin later. Use this mask before bed and the next day you will not have the complain.

Turmeric due to which you see the yellow tinge in the mask is skin lightening ingredient too so use the mask in small quantities to keep the tinge minimal.

Mix this in small quantity with the Fullers Earth (Multani Mitti) to reduce the tinge and this face mask is great for combination to oily skins (i have a combination skin and i am seriously loving this). 

Dry skins can try this by mixing a little quantity of yoghurt (curd) and use as the face mask. Yoghurt helps to keep the skin hydrated and soft and it also is a skin lightening agent. Not advisable for Combination to Oily skins as it may lead to breakout!

I only wish it came in a tube rather than tub which if not careful can lead to contamination. Other than that for me this is an awesome face mask. I have only got one right now and i have been using this since 2 weeks, i have almost used 6 times by now(need only lil) and skin started showing major changes.

Would i buy again?? Definitely...........

So what do you think of this mask? Would you love to buy too??
