Beauty Formulas Heat & Cleanse Clay Mask {Product Review}

Swathy · April 18, 2012 · 16 Comments

Price: Rs 175 for one package which includes 3 treatments
Ingredients
Pros
– is deep cleansing mask
– cleans the pores well
– relaxing for the skin because of its self-heating properties
Cons
– definitely expensive!!! 
– I wish self-heating stays for longer
My Experience
I found this at one of the New U shelves and it intrigued me so much that I picked it up. There were other packs also from Beauty Formulas which are worth a try, I suppose!! One of things which attracted me was the ingredient Zeolite which is the second on the list. Zeolite is a mineral and a type of clay like multani mitti. It occurs in many types and most used for water purification. It is also used in body detoxification. 
The product has 3 separate pouches. It is white in color with small blue beads which I am supposing are jojoba beads. The product has to be applied on wet face as water activates the heat in the mask. It goes like a completely transparent gel on to the skin and heats up immediately. The heat is like a really warm towel placed on your face and feels very relaxing.
Its supposed to be kept for 60 seconds but I generally keep it for 10 minutes. The product in a single packet is actually more than you can use at one time but its not storage-friendly so you have to use it at one go. So, I use it on my neck too but it can cover still more than that!!! Results? My skin feels cleansed and my pores look smaller afterwards. It didn’t remove all my blackheads though!!! But, overall, I really liked the mask and its worth a try. 
Have you tried this product?

My Hair Diary – March 2012

Swathy · April 3, 2012 · 5 Comments

What did I do in March?
  • I have been using Rosemary EO since two months. As to how much its working, I am still unsure but I do definitely think its helping but as I said earlier, its too soon to say anything definite.
  • And, as I promised in my last post, I did research on the essential oils to stimulate hair growth so some of the essential oils I have added to the stack are: Ginger, Cinnamon, Cedarwood, Lavender and Patchouli.
  • Also, I got cocoa butter for myself because I wanted to use it as a hair mask to soften my hair and keep it moisturised as a weekly treatment.
  • So, I made myself a DIY mask adding hair oil to the cocoa butter but its been two times I have used, the mask so I am not sure how well it is working. So, when I spend a little more time using this mask, I shall post its recipe too 🙂
  • Also, I would add a word about both the oils I am using – Biotique and Kama. They are both amazing and really good. I shall publish the reviews after I finish with the product but this is just a word on them.
  • And, my split ends have grown to huge extent so I gave myself a hair cut in March and again, I shall do it today. Yes, I can trim my hair on my own 🙂 It saves a lot of money and hair length too :O
Products used in March
  • Shampoo – Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo
  • Conditioner + Leave-in Treatment – Sunsilk Dual Treatment Shots
  • Hair Oil – Biotique Flame of the Forest + Kama Ayurveda Brigandi
  • Combs – The Body Shop Detangling Comb
