REVIEW:

Jo's Organic Chocolate Face Scrub comes in a plastic tub. Have you ever smelled oven hot, freshly baked chocolate fudge brownies? This scrub is going to smell EXACTLY THE SAME! I have never ever loved smelling a beauty or skin care care product as much as I love smelling this Chocolate Face Scrub. It literally smells like real choco fudge brownies. And it's so tempting that trust me when I say I literally feel like tasting it! haha.
Okay so moving on to the review, I didn't like the packaging of this face scrub much since I believe it is not travel friendly. Plus I prefer tube packagings more because they lessen the amount of product wasted. 

The granules of this face scrub are not very harsh on the skin. The product is enough to last for a good three to four months. The product description says that this product is best for combination skin type which is more on the dry side but since I have combination skin type with more on the oily side I believe it works equally good for my skin too. I use it twice-thrice a week. If you have sensitive skin, do not use it more than twice weekly. 

Now the results: this scrub makes my skin SUPER soft and smooth. So much so that I don't even need to apply a moisturiser after scrubbing my face. Over the time I have noticed it makes my face glow with every use. I wouldn't really agree with the claim that it prevents blemishes and wrinkles, since I haven't noticed any instant results for my blemishes. But then again, every product needs time to work. And so I'll keep using it untill I finish the whole jar. 

I would definitely recommend this scrub to you, if you're struggling with dry flaky skin or oily skin both. This can be a very good winter product as it moisturises skin deeply and effectively. 

Price & Availability: I bought this product online from, Jo's Organic Beauty Facebook Page. Worth PKR 500.

Points in favour: 

• The quantity of the product is enough to last for a good three to four months. 
• Smells heavenly. 
• Granules of the scrub are not very harsh on the skin. 
• Good for dry as well as oily skin type. 
• Makes skin super soft & smooth. 
• Can make an amazing winter product for people struggling with extremely dry and flaky skin. 
• Price is reasonable. 

Points not in favour:

• Packaging is not travel friendly.
• Not available at local drug stores. Can only be bought online.

REVIEW:

This clay mask comes in a plastic pouch, containing about 100gms of the product. It's a gray coloured mask in the form of powder. Comes with instructions on how to make & use the mask along with brief details about the properties of this clay mask.
Okay so the first thing is that, I am not very happy with the packaging. And it would have been so much better if it came in a plastic jar/tub instead of a plastic pouch. So the first thing I had to do was to transfer the entire product in to an empty jar. This way it was easier for me to use & work with, without creating a mess. 
One thing which I have noticed while preparing this mask is that for some unknown reasons the clay mask doesn't blend in to a proper paste like form, no matter how much water quantity I adjust, it always & always ends up with those clay lumps and they are very difficult for me to work with. I usually use Rose water to make this mask but have also used tap water. And in both the cases, it just doesn't make in to a good, thick paste. 
Now the results: I'm extremely amazed by the results of this mask! I honestly never thought it would work much for me as a lot of local masks do not work for me. But this one has to be different definitely. The moment I took off the mask and washed my face, voila! My face looked so bright & clearer than before. It looked very clean. I closely looked for my blackheads and I was shocked to see that it did work to remove them to some extent too. I wouldn't say that all my blackheads were gone but yes it cleared up a lot of them! So this mask basically draws out all the dirt and impurities from the pores thus making my face look cleaner than before. 
I would definitely recommend this mask to you, if you're someone who is struggling with a lot of blackheads & some acne since it does reduce acne over the time too. I get occasional zits & pimples and so far this mask has worked by resolving my acne issue. Although I'm not sure about how good this will work for all-year round acne prone skin. But this definitely is worth a try in my opinion!
I use this mask once weekly. The mask dries up on my face pretty quickly, within ten to fifteen minutes. Easily removed with water.


Price & Availability: I bought this mask online, from Jo's Organic Beauty Facebook Page. Worth PKR 500 for 100gms.

Points in favour:

• The quantity of the clay mask is enough to last you for two to three months.
• The mask works pretty efficiently in clearing out all the dirt & impurities from the pores, making face appear clearer and cleaner than before. 
• Works for my occasional zits & pimples by resolving them. 
• Price is super reasonable.
• Makes a good home based weekly cleansing & detoxifying mask
• Good for all skin types, particularly combination to oily skin type.

Points not in favour:

• Packaging is not at all good.
• Not available at local drug stores. Can only be bought online.
• The mask doesn't blend in to a good thick paste for some reason. And always end up with a few thick clay lumps.

Orglow Mask.

Hello readers! This review was long due! I'm sure most of you out there by now have heard of this product? 

This Orglow mask comes in a white coloured, plastic container. The mask is brown in color & is in powder form. Usually masks do not have any strong fragrances but let me warn you, this one had this not-very-pleasant smell to it! 

What Orglow says about this:

REVIEW:

I have exams coming up and the amount of stress that comes along, leaves my face looking dull and life-less! This is where Orglow face-mask comes in action! One word: Life saver! It's an amazing mask, brightens the skin tone instantly leaving skin feeling fresh, healthy and hydrated!

How to use this mask: 

Mix one table spoon of fresh yogurt with a little less than one tablespoon of this Orglow powder. Mix it well. Apply it on the face and neck area. Leave it on for a good 20-25 mins and then rinse your face with water. 
P.s: the mask says for the best results add glycerine to it, since I have combination skin type I did not use glycerine and trust me it's not needed either because the mask is VERY hydrating itself! To the extent that I did not feel the need to moisturise my face after taking off the mask. So if you're someone with oily skin I'd recommend to skip the glycerine part.

Price & Availability: I bought this mask around 4 months back worth 850Pkr. This mask can be bought online from Orglow's Facebook page here. The mask is not available at the local drug-stores.
