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.

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)
