Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. If you are from India you may have definitely heard about the skincare brand ORGANIC HARVEST whose products I have already featured before on the blog you may check those reviews as well. They have a variety of skincare, body care, hair care and lip balms in their collection. In today's skincare scenario everyone looks for cruelty free and products devoid of chemicals and parabens. Well my answer to your problem is Organic Harvest. So I did  get a chance to try out the Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash and I am going to tell you my experience trying it.. Read on to know more....



Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

Price: Rs.215/- for 50 ml and Rs.395/- for 100 ml. Available online with discount  HERE

Key Ingredients:
Aqua, Pure Ribose, Scrubbing beads and Polyquaternium-79 in surfactant base.





Brand description about the product:
A Paraben free formula which cleanses, scrubs, and provides whitening to your skin. The active used in this face wash is pure Ribose, a natural pentose obtained by biotechnology from corn seed sugars. It restores energy to the skin. It has irregular shaped granules, soft enough to prevent the skin from scratches.

The product is free of:
 Parabens
 Mineral Oil 
 Animal Ingredients.

Packaging:
The product comes in a dark green opaque tube with the brand name, claims and all other necessary information printed on it. I love when tubes are transparent though you can tell how much product is left but that is just my opinion. Overall the packaging does not look cheap, it has a flip cap and I did not find any problem of spillage and strangely product accumulating on the cap.


Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

If you know me then you would know that I keep experimenting with face washes which are on the affordable end and this one is a bit more pricey, well obviously because they contain organic ingredients and is free of chemicals but seeing the whole list of ingredients would have made me happier as you know I am a blogger and always curious to know what is in the product I use.


Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

Coming to the face wash it is has a nice sea blue color with green granules and is thick like a paste which I like as I am not a fan of runny face washes. The smell reminds of me of a bathing soap I used in my childhood and makes me feel nostalgic. It contains granules rather than beads which most brands put in their face washes and some studies say they are not great for the skin. So these granules are not harsh on the skin and help in gently exfoliating the skin. It lathers well and does a great job of cleansing all dirt & oil from the skin.I did not notice my skin getting dry post use but using a moisturizer is always recommended. This face wash will be ideal for all those who work at a full time job as being outside makes the skin dull and dirty easily. Also someone who has tanning issues this can help them as well as it brightens the skin after repeated uses. Can't say about whitening but yes it does a great job of cleansing and gentle exfoliation. I highly recommend this to those with oily, greasy and dull skin.

MLWM Rating: 4.5/5

Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash does a great job of cleansing and gently exfoliating the face with the granules it contains. It keeps the skin dirt & oil free and fresh looking. Have you tried this face wash or intend to?? Please let me know in the comments section ☺☺

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 Review
First up the cream is white in color and smells nice and not perfumey which I like. The main and key ingredients of this cream is white tea which acts as an anti oxidant, is anti inflammatory, moisturizes and good for anti ageing then comes saffron which as everyone knows is good skin whitening and brightening. Well Ahem! I am not into whitening and promote that on my blog but what I can tell you that the cream instantly brightens up the face and makes you look radiant. I have oily to combination skin and I use this after my bath on my face and also before I apply makeup on my face as a moisturizer.If you have oily skin this may make you oily after an hour or so.

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 Review



 In Mumbai the humidity is high so my skin became greasy as well but not immediately hence I do not use a lot of it to be honest. This will work best for those who have combination to normal skin to dry skin and as it gives a mattifying effect post application and then may become oily after few hours which is ok for these skin types. Since I have combination skin I have been liking it as an everyday moisturizer. It also has SPF 30 which is amazing and does a good job of moisturizing my skin.The ingredients list does not contain parabens from what I read, which I love and I also think it is affordable and worth trying.

MLWM Rating:4.4/5

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 is a good everyday cream for those who have combination - normal - dry skin in my opinion. Have you tried this cream or intend to? Please let me know in the comments section.

Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit with Massager - Review & Demo

Hello everyone,
I cannot stress enough on the fact how important it is to take care of our skin. If you have been following my blog, since the last 5 years, you would know how much I have stressed on  the importance of good skin. I am a big fan of natural products. It is generally said why use makeup if you have good skin?? I think that is true because if you have clear skin you don't need a lot of makeup to hide your flaws. Skin free of acne is a dream now-a-days.


Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit with Massager - Review & Demo

I was always proud of my skin being acne free until very recently during summer, they started popping on my face. To be honest, summer is the worst month for my skin. I did realize that during this time, my skin needs extra care and pampering. So I made sure I did my best. While I have so many brands and products to try as a blogger, I always go back  to my holy grail trusted brand 'HIMALAYA HERBALS'. If you are from India, there are high chances that you have definitely tried their Purifying Neem Face Wash which is one of their best sellers to solve acne/pimples problems.




  
Himalaya Herbals now has a wide range of products which they have expanded overtime. Recently, they have introduced their facial neem kit called the- Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit. I got to try these amazing products and was very happy with the results. Everyone faces acne problems – from a teenage to adult, everyone! Also, it’s not related to the skin type. So, this kit will definitely be a one stop solution for all skin problems and I will tell you why and how. I will be running you through the 6 steps to achieve clear skin today! Please keep reading to know more.

Himalaya Herbals Pure Skin Neem Facial Kit consists of the following items and I will be mentioning it in the order I use it. The six steps is a do a Do It Yourself (DIY) Facial at Home:

HIMALAYA HERBALS REFRESHING CLEANSING MILK
The cleansing Milk is creamy and smells amazing. This is the first step to take off any dirt, makeup or residue on your face. Use a cotton and clean your face with it.

HIMALAYA HERBALS PURIFYING NEEM FACE WASH
After cleansing is done, the next step is Face Wash which is of a gel consistency and lathers well and hey wait because you get a FREE FACE MASSAGER with this kit as well, Isn't that cool?? So there are 2 things - one is like a brush which is really soft and the other is a massager. You need to use pencil batteries to use it. There is a button to control the speed as well. You need to wet the brush and dip in the face wash and use it all over your face. I would suggest to use it on a low speed to make sure it is gentle on your skin.Wash or wipe your face with a wet soft cloth.

HIMALAYA HERBALS PURIFYING NEEM FACE SCRUB
Using the scrub is the next step and essential when you do a facial at home.The scrub is white in color and has fine exfoliating beads which are very gentle on the skin and yet do a good job of cleaning the dirt from the pores on the face and exfoliating dead skin cells. Use a light hand on the face and massage it for good 3 to 5 minutes using circular motions. Wipe it or wash it off once done. I found that my skin looked brighter and baby soft. Happy ME ☺☺

HIMALAYA HERBALS NOURISHING FACE MOISTURIZING LOTION
The last step is to use a moisturizer. This one smells nice and is of a lotion consistency. It is light yet emollient to moisturize your face. If you have extremely oily skin do use like only a dot and spread it across your face or neck or you can skip and use any water based moisturizer like HimalayaOil Free Radiance Gel Cream which I have talked about on my blog before.

I had done an Instagram post before mentioning how amazing the mask is you can check it HERE  Since last few months my skin has been breaking out bad and the summers have made it even worse.It is then when I was looking in my stash and found this mask which I had forgotten about, blame it on too many things a blogger can have.This is  clearly one of the best masks I have tried and you need to read further to know why.....

My experience/thoughts:
Being a blogger and beauty enthusiast I would like to say that nobody has perfect skin not even celebrities to be honest. In order to make sure skin is problem free, you need to take care of it and by that I mean cleansing, scrubbing, toning, moisturizing etc. So moving on to the product it is a clay based mask and this one is best suited for normal to oily to combination skin. Those who have extremely dry skin may find this is a bit drying but in summers as the skin tends to get oily it can be used by one and all.

TruSelf Organics Detoxifying Mask Review

I use this mask once a week and mix water with it, although they say to use their Detoxifying Solution which I do not own. You can use rose water or plain water to make the pack and apply it generously on your face and neck. Once it dries you will feel a tightening effect on the skin. Once you wash it off your skin will look brighter and any acne you have may vanish on regular use.  I also noticed my pores looked tighter than before.Please note using a product regularly only show results.The ingredients list is pretty impressive and I like that it is chemical free which makes it worth buying and trying. Go ahead and grab this if you are someone who shops from international websites as this is hard to find in India. I truly love it and highly recommend.

MLWM Rating: 4.8/5
