Just Herbs Instaglow Almond Complexion Pack: Review

This week I'm sharing my experience with one of the popular herbal beauty brands in India, Just Herbs.

Just Herbs products are selling like a hot cake in many e-commerce beauty stores. The most popular products from their range include Just Herbs Shampoo, Just Herbs Face Wash, Just Herbs Blemish Free Anti-Blemish cream, Just Herbs Silksplash, Just Herbs Advanced Ayurvedic Pimple Treatment, Just Herbs Silksplash Neem Orange Rehydrate Face Wash, and the last but not the least, Just Herbs Instaglow Almond Complexion pack.

The focus of this post is Just Herbs Instaglow Almond Complexion pack. It is basically a mud pack, which comes in a luxurious glass jar packaging. It has a divine herbal smell, which is very soothing and lingering for quite some time.


The texture of Just Herbs Instaglow Almond Complexion pack is very smooth and creamy. A little goes a long way as the consistency is very thick. A coin-size would suffice to smear the mask on the face and neck if you mix it with milk or milk cream. If you have very dry skin as I do, I would highly recommend mixing this pack with milk cream and honey for the best results. If you have normal or combination skin, you can use the pack directly without mixing any additional ingredient.



No matter if you apply it directly or mix it with milk or milk cream, this mud/ clay-based mask dries quickly. It comes handy for a quick facial, or if you want to pamper yourself on the go. However, the jar is not quite travel-friendly, you have to handle it carefully to avoid breakage. Another downside of the package is it doesn't come with a spatula of its own for scooping out the product. Make sure you use a clean spoon to scoop out and a bowl if you want to blend the product with milk or honey. As a thumb rule, avoid dipping your finger into any product to maintain the hygiene of the product.

Talking about the efficacy of Just Herbs Instaglow Almond Complexion pack, it moisturizes and adds a glow to the skin. It makes the skin soft and supple in a single application. Moreover, it is not pricey and the quantity required for each application is very less, making this product very economical. Overall, it is a "must-have" product in the skin care kit of every woman with normal to dry skin. I am satisfied with the results and I would highly recommend Just Herbs Instaglow Almond Complexion for dry skin.

Khadi Natural Milk & Saffron Herbal Hand Cream Review

Hello ladies, today I'm back with yet another review of a hand cream by a popular beauty brand called Khadi Natural. Khadi Natural Milk & Saffron Herbal Hand Cream comes in a plastic container. The packaging is handy and travel-friendly.



The texture of the product is very smooth and the consistency is thick. It is neither greasy nor dry,  just perfect for a boost of moisturization.  It absorbs easily into the skin. However, it is not recommended for people with extremely oily skin as it can turn out to be sticky.


As it has got moisturizing properties such as milk and Shea butter, it is better suitable for people with dry skin. It also has saffron as one of its chief ingredients, which helps in brightening the skin. Though it has got herbal ingredients and claims to be a herbal product, it doesn's smell earthy or herbal.The fragrance is very pleasant, though.

Another concern is this hand cream is not long-lasting. It requires multiple applications as it wears off quickly. Even when you apply it during the night when your hands are not exposed to the outside environment, it wears off quickly.

In my experience, this is a good product, but not a great product. I will neither repurchase nor recommend Khadi Natural Milk & Saffron Herbal Hand Cream.  I'll find out a good hand moisturizer and introduce it in this space soon.

Auravedic Bath Salts Review

I wanted to try bath salts in my bath for the longest time. I chanced upon Auravedic Bath Salts Rose in Amazon and grabbed it for a good deal (120 RS for 250 gm).


What Auravedic Bath Salts claims:
Auravedic Bath salts are packed with healthy minerals. To transform a bath into a luxurious and therapeutic experience, the use of aromatic salts or aromatherapy will create an atmosphere of sensuality and relaxation. Soothe and comfort your body by soaking in a warm bath. Soaking in this salt helps balance moisture in the skin and body, cleans pores, soothes skin and relaxes muscles. Infused with a therapeutic blend of essentials oils to rejuvenate both body and mind.

My Experience:
I purchased Auravedic Bath Salts in the rose fragrance. I used it as a part of my weekly home pedicure regimen. I also used it a few times to exfoliate my skin during the bath. 

Packaging: Auravedic Bath Salts come in an opague tubular plastic bottle with a lid cap. Natural and dried rose petals could be seen through the pack along with rose bath salts. 

Texture: It has a coarse texture to aid gentle exfoliation. When applied on the moist skin, it dissolves and creates a cooling effect. 





Fragrance: This is the best part of the Rose Auravedic Bath Salts. You can buy this product for this very reason. After using this in my bath, my entire washroom smelled like a heaven, and the smell stays for a long time. The high notes of rose fragrance sets the right environment for an aromatic bath or pedicure at home. I would recommend adding a handful of Auravedic Bath Salts to warm water in a bath tub and soak yourself for an enchanting expereince. You can also use it as a foot soak to relax your feet at the end of a tired day. 

Experience : As I mentioned, it creates a cooling effect when applied on the skin. However, I will not recommend the application of this product on the face as it caused a mild irritation around my eyes and the lip area.

Results: I did not see any visible results or positive change in my skin as a result of using Auravedic Bath Salts. In fact, it created mild irritation when I used it on my face. However, it works as great a foot soak and mildly exfoliates the body. 

My recommendation: If you are a fan of aromatic products and love flower fragrances, this is a great product to try your hands at. The soothing rose fragrance makes Auravedic Bath Salts worth its price. However, if you are looking for a miraculaous improvement in your skin, you will be disppointed.
