Lotus Herbals unveils PHTYO-Rx BOTANICAL PRESCRIPTIONS – The future of Skin Care- Product Info!

Concept

At lotus Herbals, we firmly believe in providing naturally safe, professional care. That is exactly why we persistently employ the best of science to harness efficacy that only Nature can provide. This has resulted in an exceptional, revolutionary range of professional beauty products :

PHTYO-Rx – The future of Skin Care.






PHTYO-Rx is our new range of home care products that are primarily to be consumed as an extension to the Salon routine at home. It is a prescription based products and is the most effective, pure and safest organic home skin care formulation.

Each of the products is FREE of Chemical PRESERVATIVES, ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE and COLOUR to provide you with the best of Nature.


Why PRESERVATIVE FREE products


As per recent scientific studies, a strong link has been observed amongst preservatives, especially PARABENS and health problems like breast cancer.
Add to this an ongoing scientific debate on continued use of preservatives leading to carcinogenicity and estrogenic effects.

Concern about endocrine disruptors and more has further reinforced the objective of lotus Herbals to come up with preservative free beauty solutions that give unbelievably marvelous results without making your health pay for it.

Why ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE & COLOUR FREE Products

Using preservatives, artificial fragrances and colours in skin care products can often cause allergies especially if skin is extremely sensitive. In some cases skin may also develop rashes or itching because of Parabens present in the beauty products. In other cases, the allergic reaction may develop after long-term usage of products with Parabens.

At Lotus Herbals we adopt precautionary principles and believe in delivering only the safest product formulations.

• The quantity is considerably good for the price; the bottle goes a long way, unless you use it three times a day unlike me. :P
• Hydrates the skin, it’s the mildest moisturizing crème I have come across, because of it’s this property I use it every day and sometimes mix it with my foundation too.  Try amalgamating the Skin whitening & brightening Micro Emulsion and your foundation you will love the results.

Lotus Herbals WHITGLOW Yogurt skin whitening & brightening Masque- Review

Hello Ladies,
Today I will be reviewing the Lotus Herbals WHITGLOW Yogurt skin whitening & brightening Masque, this one product from the entire WHITEGLOW range didn’t work for me. 



Here’s why.

Product Claim:

Nourishment is vital for healthier, fairer skin. WHITEGLOW yogurt skin whitening & brightening masque provides complete nourishment for your skin. It is enriched with yogurt enzymes and bearberry extract that improves skin texture making it firm. The result, you have brighter, younger and radiant skin. Contains no harmful chemicals.

Price and quantity:

145 INR for 80g

Packaging:

Comes in a handy screw top tube. Provides non messy product discharge and also helps in avoiding product wastage.

Ingredients:

D.M, Water, kaolin, light liquid paraffin, glycerin, bentonite, glyceryl monostearate, polysorbate-80, zinc oxide, acacia Senegal (gum acacia), yogurt powder, cetostearyl alcohol, arctostaphylos uva-ursi (bearberry) extract, cetyl alcohol, xanthan gum, 2-phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, alpha arbutin, fragrance.

Active ingredients:
Milk Yogurt & Bearberry.

Yogurt and bearberry the active ingredients not only nourish your skin but hydrate and help regain moisture. Yogurt is rich in lactic acid which is an active skin lightening, anti- aging, firming and restructuring agent of skin. Yogurt is effective at cleansing and disinfecting pores, preventing acne, moisturizing and revitalizing skin texture, it also reduces the size of pores, and eliminates skin texture, it also reduces the size of pores, and eliminates dead flakes to reveal a fresh, glowing visage.

How to use it:

Apply generous amount of the masque on the face and neck. Let the mask dry. Once it dries, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use twice a week for brighter and firmer skin. Follow with WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème and micro emulsion.



About the Lotus Herbals WHITGLOW Yogurt skin whitening & brightening Masque:

This is one product from the entire WHITEGLOW range I am unsatisfied with, of course it didn’t cause any irritation or skin problem to me, neither did it work for me but it simply fell flat on my expectations.
It’s a cream based masque which claims to tighten up the skin and give your skin radian and glow. I liked nothing in the masque except its packaging and its ingredients. 



Reasons to like the Lotus Herbals WHITGLOW Yogurt skin whitening & brightening Masque:

• The packaging is non-messy. I like it since I do not waste product from this tube, since it has a screw up top and a wide nozzle. 
• It didn’t give me any types of skin irritations or break outs. 
• It didn’t make my skin dry, like some masks do. 
• One claim which proves to be right by the product is that it’s suitable for all skin type. 
• It’s got a mild fragrance. 



Reasons to dislike the Lotus Herbals WHITGLOW Yogurt skin whitening & brightening Masque:

• It does nothing to my skin, except making it look a bit clean (which happens even after washing the face with a face wash).
• It doesn’t firm up the skin, as claimed.
• It doesn’t really help reduce the large pores (Mum used it, and found it ineffective).
• The masque never dries, I know it’s a cream based masque but it’s mentioned that “wash after the masque dries”.
• The skin lightening & brightening claim doesn’t work with this too, you simply see a nicely washed and clean face after washing the masque. 


Repurchase/recommendation:


No, I won’t repurchase it. This is the only product which I shall skip from the entire range.  I wouldn’t recommend it either, but if you really want to fit in the whole routine of the WHITEGLOW range you may pick it. It’s worth a miss otherwise, but do try their other products for sure.

About the crème:

The WHITEGLOW range is already hyped enough for its products, and this gel crème is not less worth the praise and hype.

In the entire range of products by WHITEGLOW, this cream is my third favorite, the first being the scrub and then the micro emulsion.

This is perfect day crème for summers. It’s a watery gel crème, which soaks up in the skin like magic, leaving the skin hydrated, sun protected and healthy looking. 






Reasons to love the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème:

• The first advantage of the cream is that it has SPF 25, PA+++ (PA refers to the ranking of the sun protection of the product; PA+++ ranks the highest giving maximum sun protection).
• The crème is a water gel which penetrates into the skin within no time, although you may see a white cast whilst applying and you skin may look oily, but within 5 minutes of application the crème soaks up into your skin, leaving it moisturized and oil-free.
• You can certainly have your foundation on after applying the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème (I am mentioning this, since I do it like every day and the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème has no adverse effects on the looks and feel of your foundation and concealer routine) or simply let your skin breath with the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème alone. 
• It has a subtle lingering scent.  Very fresh and apt for summers. 
• There are no specifications if it is a day crème or night crème but I like using it in the day times, since it gives the right sun protection and moisturization.
• The ingredients are the best catch for the product, grape extract, mulberry extract, milk enzyme, saxifraga extract, a sure treat for the skin.
• Suits my skin, I have a very sensitive combination skin, which tends to grow oilier by the summer, hence I was reluctant about this staying on my skin, but as claimed by Lotus Herbals, it works awesomely for combination skin too. Not just combination skin, it works like magic on my mum’s oily skin too.  It never leaves her skin oily or shiny looking.
• It’s for all skin types.
• The skin whitening and brightening part, well, I have been using it for a while over 7 days for sure but it hasn’t made my skin light in shade or bright, but yes it gives a nice radiance to the skin, a healthy glow. My skin doesn’t look polluted and dusted even when I am outdoors. 
• It did NOT break me out, which is GREAT for a sensitive skin person like me. 






Reasons to dislike the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème:

I seriously can’t ask for more from a summer day cream, it certainly has no flaws.

Repurchase/ recommendation:

Yes, I would repurchase it for my summers, and I would recommend this to all ladies especially those of you all are outdoors, this would certainly shield your skin from the sun and dust thus helping you keep up the natural feel of your skin.

Ratings:

4/5 ( -1 for the skin whitening and brightening faux claims)

Lotus Herbals Whiteglow Oatmeal & yogurt skin whitening scrub- Review

Today I will be reviewing the much talked about Oatmeal & yogurt skin whitening scrub from Lotus Herbal’s Whiteglow range.



I have been using the scrub for around 3 weeks now, and here’s what I think about it.

Product Claim:

Exfoliates & brightens skin for a healthy glow. Exfoliation plays an important part in fairness. The WHITEGLOW oatmeal & yogurt skin whitening scrub has micro granules that gently exfoliate the skin, removes excess sebum, dirt, impurities, blackheads and whiteheads leaving the skin brighter and healthier. The gentle exfoliating action works onskin discoloration, dull and uneven skin tones and softens the skin giving a firmer skin texture. Contains no harmful chemicals.

Oatmeal exfoliates gently, restores the natural moisture balance of the skin and yogurt moisturizes and lightens the skin reducing imperfections giving you silky, smooth and brighter skin.


Price and quantity:


145 INR for 100g

Ingredients:

D.M, water, gyceryl monostearate, glycerin,isopropyl myristate,polyethylene granules, avena sativa meal (oatmeal) powder, cetyl alcohol, stearic acid, light liquid paraffin, yogurt powder, sodium lauryl sulphate, 2-phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, alpha arbutin, fragrance.

Active Ingredients:

Oatmeal & Milk Yougurt


About the product:


Lotus Herbals is one of my favorite brands with skin care products, I have a combination and acne prone skin hence I am a bit apprehensive and reluctant in trying out new products, but like the other products from Lotus Herbals, even their Whiteglow range has not let me down.
The Oatmeal & Yogurt skin whitening scrub is one of the most talked about products from the entire WhiteGlow range, and after using it I know why. 
Initially when I started using it, I was a bit scared that the scrub might be too harsh for the face, but as I graduted with its usage I got to know why it claims to exfoliate and brighten the skin.
The scrub is a thick granular white paste. It has a pleasant and fresh fragrance. 
I use this scrub for about 4 days a week now, I mean I am just loving this scrub soo much that I always feel that I need to keep using it for clear and clean skin.
Its my favorite scrub now, as I have ditched St’ Ives apricot scrub .


How to use it:


Apply gently on moisturized skin with brisk circular motions on the face and neck. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use twice a week for brighter and luminous skin. Follow with WhiteGlow Yogurt Radiance Mask for best results.







Reasons to like the Oatmeal & Yogurt skin whitening scrub:

First and foremostly, its for all skin types. I have a sensitive combination skin but this scrub hasn’t broke me out. 
The ingredients caught my attention next, oatmeal and yogurt, of course we all know about the famous oatmeal and milk mask, don’t we?
The price and quantity are totally justifiable, 100g of the scrub will last you long. 
It keeps up to all its claims.
• As soon as you use the scrub and wash your face you will feel that the skin is clean of all imputrities and dust.
• It’s the best exfoliating scrub I have ever used. 
• The blackheads and whiteheads are totally taken care off by the scrub.  I love it for this a lot.. My blackheads are totally in control because of this. 
• It doesn’t dry my skin, as in some scrubs tend to suck up the skin and cause break outs, this one doesn’t. 
• It does give soft and supple skin after usage. 
• I can’t say it give you a visible fair skin tone, but it definitely evens out your complexion. 
• It does make the skin firmer.

It has a non messy way of getting out the product with the nozzle kind of thing, unlike the typical flip flop caps, this also enables you to put back the extra product which can come out mistakenly.



Reasons to dislike the Oatmeal & Yogurt skin whitening scrub:

Can be a bit harsh if scrubbed too harshly, please do not scrub hard.



Contains Parabens, Lotus Herbals is supposedly a herbal and eco friendly brand, so I think they could have avoided the paraben factor.




Repurchase/recommendation:
Definitely yes, as soon as this tube gets over I will take a new one. I would recommend this product to everyone who is looking for a perfect exfoliator, and is miserably troubled by blackheads and uneven skin tone.

Rating: 4.5/5 (-0.5 for the parabens)
