Ayush from Hindustan Lever; Haul and mini Reviews

Hi All, 

its the weekend and I'm back on my blogger desk...whats up today???

its a little about one of my recent hauls. Its from one of the recently launched personal care range from HLL. Its Ayush!! Although AYUSH in India refers to Ministry of Indian Medicine and Homeopathy which recently adopted this name; created in March 1995 and renamed as Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) in November 2003. But Why I wanted to try this- reasons....

firstly its the first AYURVEDIC range from the brand

secondly wanted to check out if its truly Ayurvedic and Organic too???

Also every product has been claimed to have some reliable age old ayurvedic ingredient like turmeric, saffron, Rock salt, Ghee etc and they have made sure to associate each product with one of the known ayurvedic formulations like Nalpamaradi Oil, Kumkumadi oil, Arimedas Oil etc

So HLL also adopted this name to give an ethnic or Indian origin to the brand. so lets see what all i could grab and whats my view about them. 

Most Inexpensive Charcoal Mask ...for acne prone and oily skin!

Lately i had been reading so much about Charcoal and its skin care benefits. 

Charcoal has the capacity to pull out all types of bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, This helps the skin get rid of all the toxins and to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne. Charcoal is not absorbed by the body, but it can be used to treat some poisonous bites and disinfect some wounds. Activated charcoal powder is proven to adsorb thousands of times its own mass in harmful substances, which makes it a popular ingredient in facial masks.

While I was searching for some good charcoal, came across thousands of brands and options online. But then I was looking something handy and easily available. I could recollect my aunt using charcoal as tooth powder. So my hunt for Charcoal started with my local provision store. All what i could easily find this-

Clean and Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash: Review

Worried that your pimple is taking away all the attention from that special dress, your new shades or that bouncy hairstyle that you’ve always wanted? Worry not, here’s what you need to know about those annoying pimples.

What are these pimples?

Spots or pimples form when your skin has too much oil, allowing bacteria to breed. The bacteria clog your pores, causing swelling and redness.

Well, then, how do I actually get rid of pimples if I’ve got ‘em already? 

We recommend using Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Facewash to fight and remove pimples. Its special neem-lemon formula reduces redness and prevents spreading right from first use, so that your pimple does not take the focus away from what you are and so the world can see the real you!

Surprised! What is this???

Actually this is an excerpt from a long Questionnaire, picked from Clean & Clear-website, which intends to introduce the product to the readers.

So, the product is Clean and Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash. 

You can find detailed information about Acne/pimples, causes, precautions on their website- www.cleanandclear.in 

But now what am i talking about then??

its about my experience and review of the product. 

I have oily to combination skin, highly acne prone and keep having cystic/adult acne quite often. i already good experience with Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily scrub and also using their Morning Energy face washes since quite long. Clean and Clear never failed. You can now understand how much was i lured to see this new baby of theirs.
