Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel Review

Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel Review

by Shruti

What name can you give a plant which comes with so many benefits and is super awesome? Superplant, like Superman? All of you must have guessed it already. Nah? Come on! It’s a long-stemmed plant with leaves containing transparent gel. Yes, I am talking about Aloevera! Women, 1000’s of years ago, have been using it in their beauty regime (Women will always be women) :)
     As usual, my skin started flaring up and this time it was my nose. It was dry nd flaking and I was fed up of applying creams which made it redder. I had seen a couple of aloe vera gels in my local supermarkets but then somebody told me about this gel and in a couple of days, I got this delivered.

Just Herbs is a company which brings you ancient wisdom in a new bottle. It follows the old Ayurvedic Bhaishajyas (texts) and formulates products with plants and herbs. This is one such product of theirs :)

My Experience with Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel:

Packaging: The packaging is eco-friendly. In the age of ‘saving the world’ and ‘being green’, I totally love this even though it’s a tad unhygienic. The reason being it comes in a tub with a screw top. So every time you need to use it, in goes your fingers (along with a little germs).I know. Scary! But the pros of it outweigh the cons.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: Green!! A thick gel which spreads easily. It smells faintly of cucumber and some other herbal smell.

• Read: Prakriti Herbals Rose Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Review

How it works: Massage it on your face after cleansing. It spreads easily and gets absorbed in a jiffy. I got this specifically to remove acne marks. After applying this for a week or so, I was amazed to see them reduced. It also reduced my tan. Another thing you could try is take a little product in your palm, apply water and then gently massage your face. After applying this, your face might shine. Do not fear because this gets absorbed within minutes leaving your face soft and supple. This helped me in many ways. I had acquired a face wash recently which was working fine on my face but just making my nose dry.  Weird right? So every day after washing my face I applied this on my nose and in a few days, the dryness had reduced. His also doubles up as an under eye gel. There is a marked reduction in my puffiness around my eyes.

PROS of Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel:

• Easily absorbed
• Reduces dryness
• Can be used as an under-eye gel
• Reduces blemishes
• Skin becomes soft and clear
• No breakouts (atleast for me)
• Eco friendly packaging
• Will suit all skin types
• Can be used as a daily moisturizer

CONS of Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel :

• Expensive for an aloevera gel
• Tub packaging is unhygienic
• Availability
• Aloevera gels are transparent in colour and this is green.(which means it has some added colour)

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5 (I have reduced 0.5 for the price)

Do I Recommend Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel?:
If you would like to try something for acne and puffiness, then you can buy this. But I would suggest another brand whose review will be coming up soon. I love that gel and its cheaper. I have nothing against the company or the product but I like that better.

Would I Repurchase Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel?: No

Just Herbs No Sun Aloevera & Calendula Sun Screen Gel

After reviewing the Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash and Frugel Firmskin Skin Radiance Gel from just Just Herbs, Now I am reviewing their No Sun Sun Screen gel with Aloevera and Calendula extracts. From the first two products I used, the skin radiance gel is my most favorite one as it acts as a light moisturizer on oily skin types. So, I made this move to my summer HG list and of course using it everyday. Did you notice a thing about Just Herbs? All their product names are very attractive as well as natural. Not only the names are good, I find the products worthy from my experience too. This sunscreen gel is specially formulated for oily skin types, so say yay if your skin type is oily. Can we move on to the product description and review now? Let us see how it works!

Product Description

A  multi tasking  sun protection gel  especially suitable for use by  people with oily skin or in the scorching summer season when  applying an oil based sun protective seems unappealing. With  it’s built in UV protection and age control micro nutrients, it effectively  replenishes skin’s lost moisture and forms a protective barrier to UV rays to prevent sun spots, freckles and sun induced wrinkles.

Just Herbs No Sun Sun Screen Gel

Price: Rs.350 for 100gm

Shelf life: 2 years

Ingredient list

Bakuchi 2mg, Calendula 1mg, Van Haldi 2mg, Pit Papra 2mg, Pushpanjan 1mg, Kumari Swaras 10mg, Gajar Beej 1mg, Allantoin 1mg, Persic Oil 2mg, Gum & Parishut Jal.

My Experience with this Product

The Just Herbs No Sun Sun Screen gel comes in a plastic container with a pump dispenser. The bottle being transparent makes it easier to find out how much is left inside. Every squeeze is in control and the packaging is completely travel friendly. Hence, I have no complaints on the packaging part.

Named as gel, this product is actually creamy and smooth in nature, colored milky pale yellow. The colour is similar to that of fresh cream, but with a slight yellow tint. The container being transparent gives a look that scoops of butterscotch ice cream is filled inside. :D The fragrance is very subtle, floral and herbal mixed, which is natural and mild. Overall, the gel is cream, smooth and in perfect cream consistency, neither too thick, nor too runny.

I really want to admit now this thing about no sun sunscreen gel from Just Herbs. Last week, I went for an outing in hot sun (Don't you know how bad Chennai summers are!) and  happened to stay in sun for almost the whole day. To test this product, I applied this sunscreen on my left hand arms and fingers skipping the right hand. At the end of the day, the tanning is visible on the parts of right hand while the left hand remained almost same and untanned. This gave me a very nice impression about this sunscreen gel. It also helped me save my facial skin from tan and sunburns. Being a perfect sunscreen product, this works best on oily and normal skin types with natural Aloe vera and Calendula extracts. Moreover, the turmeric being a great antibiotic ingredient, prevents irritation caused by sweat and bacterial infections. As this is a natural product, one needs to be patient until it is completely absorbed by the skin. It takes not much time, but little more than the chemical cosmetics, so don't judge before it is completely absorbed. Excess use of this sunscreen gel may leave a ashy cast, but that disappears in minutes. 

Add caption

Overall, it is really a nice and must have sunscreen product in hot summers. A single bottle is going to last really long as a very tiny amount is needed for whole face and neck. For the worth, it is affordable and I am planning to get this every summer. :)

PROS

1. Protects skin from tanning up to a great extent.
2. I did not experience any sun burn while using this sunscreen. My skin feels safe all day long.
3. Fragrance is natural and mild. This wouldn't surely make even sensitive noses to say nay.
4. Smooth creamy texture spreads easily over the skin.
5. Gives a semi matte finish without any greasiness. It feels light on the skin.
6. Makes a perfect everyday sunscreen for oily to normal skin types.
7. I skipped my moisturizer and just did set this with my compact. The aloe vera itself acts as a natural moisturizer for oily skins.
8. Stays up to 5 hours being effective, which is a very decent staying time for a sunscreen. Re-application is needed if you are out in sun for more than 5 hours.
9. As a single bottle would last longer, I enjoy using it as my body sunscreen lotion too. 
10. Instantly brightens skin with a cooling effect, being a great treat for sun burnt skin.
11. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging. Pump dispenser makes it very hygienic. 
12. Regular use removes mild sun tan and softens the skin.

CONS

Nothing to mention as a con! Just an hint, do not apply this sunscreen gel excessively if your complexion is dark, to avoid the ashy cast.

My Recommendation: A must of sunscreen product for oily to normal skin types! You are surely going to stick to it. Dry skins do not worry, Just herbs have another variant of sunscreen gel for you.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Would I Repurchase?: Why not? Sure for every summer.

Just Herbs Silksplash Neem-Orange Rehydrant Face Wash Review

After reviewing the Frugel FirmSkin Skin Radiance Gel before a couple of days, Now I am reviewing the Silksplash Neem-Orange Rehydrant Face Wash from Just Herbs. You would not need an introduction for Just herbs I guess, you all would have known about this brand. It is really a nice natural experience to try their products because of their lovely rich packaging and the claims. Let us come to the product now. Don't you feel luxurious of the name Silksplash? That too with Neem-Orange Ingredients? I was really tempted and have been using this face wash for about 2 weeks. Let us now check the product description followed by a detailed review.

Product Description: An ideal rehydrant foaming Ayurvedic cleanser with the natural goodness of neem, Chandan(sandal wood) and honey which gently removes the last traces of dust, grime and make-up residue, yet retaining the inherent moisture of the skin. While Sandal Wood is moisturising and anti-inflammatory, Calendula acts as natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent with sun radiation protective properties. Aloe Vera, Honey and Orange peel deeply moisturize leaving the skin with an amazing sense of freshness and a velvety sheen all day long. Regular use keeps the skin pores unclogged thus keeping blackheads and pimples at bay.

Just Herbs Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash

Price: Rs.245 for 100ml

Shelf Life: 2 years

Ingredients

Neem, Orange Peel, Aloe vera, Honey, Calendula Extract,Cucumber Extract, Chandan and Cleansing base.

My Experience with this Product

This face wash comes in a sturdy transperant bottle which looks amazing with a golden lid and a tiny pamphlet tied on the neck. The product description is written on the phamphet in a lovely way and I loved the idea of their packaging. All their products look so natural and pleasing to the eyes. I have no complaints about the packaging but I wished it be some squeeze type for a better control. This face wash is hygienic to travel and use as it comes in a bottle.

Being honey-sh in colour, this face wash has a runny consistency. I would say this is semi transparent, gel based honey with orange-sh colored face wash. I could really feel the smell of ingredients they mentioned. It delivers a natural smell of orange peels and honey which was so pleasing and refreshing while every wash. I am not sure about how sensitive noses feel as there are no artificial fragrances mixed in this, but the "All Natural" is my go always. To say about the lathering effect, it lathers pretty good. It lathers enough for a perfect wash, neither too less nor too foamy. It's just a myth that only lathering products cleanse well, so get out of it. This face wash is a best example to break that myth.

It cleansed out my skin really well without leaving any slippery feel behind. My skin felt instantly smooth, soft and fresh after using this silksplash face wash. Being a normal to oily skinned person (In summers) this face wash works fine for me. My skin's oil secretion was in control for a long time, on the other hand it doesn't dry out my skin too. It removes all the dirt, grime and light makeup residue easily. A very small amount of face wash is enough for whole face and neck, so a single bottle will last longer. The magical part of this face wash is that, it reduced my acne bumps! Isn't that really great? I was struggling to get rid of my acne for past one week and this does that job. I guess it's all because of the magic of neem and orange. So finally, I am totally in love with this face wash, have no complaints. They do what they claim, but this is not recommended for extremely dry skins in winters as you need to go for some other creamy nourishing one. Just Herbs Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash makes a perfect daily refreshing face wash! Your pimples and blackheads won't visit your skin of course.

PROS

1. Read the ingredient list! All natural ingredients are present in one form here.
2. Leaves my skin soft, fresh and smooth after every wash.
3. Prevents excess oil secretion for a decent time. On the other hand, it doesn't dry out skin too.
4. It does the cleansing part well by removing dirt, oil and makeup residues.
5. Spreads smoothly over the skin and gets washed off easily.
6. I loved the natural fragrance. It's not sweet or fruity, but natural.
7. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging. Hygienic!
8. Controls and reduces ACNE! Interesting! A boon to people who suffer from acne often.
9. A perfect everyday face wash for oily and normal skin types. 

CONS

1. I wished it to come in some squeeze or pump type for more easier usage. 
2. This is not a con, I am just mentioning. This face wash is not for extremely dry skins in winters and sensitive noses may feel it a bit heavy. But I am sure, after every wash you will love it.

Nothing else! This is just a fabulous natural face wash which is worth every penny!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

My Recommendation: This is a must try facial wash for oily and normal skin types. You will love it and stick to it because it is all natural and refreshing!

Will I Repurchase?: Why not? Every time I will. This controls and prevents my acne greatly leaving my skin soft and refreshed.

Shelf Life: Not mentioned (I will ask and update)

Ingredient List

Regular massage with this gel helps maintain soft, supple and naturally glowing skin.

My Experience with this Product

As I said before, I was very much impressed about Just herbs and their claims. This frugel skin radiance gel comes in a tub and I loved its packaging very much, the tub looks like the some which princesses in ancient times used. It has golden colored top lid which makes it look so attractive. Hence the container is made of thick plastic and is firm, it becomes very travel friendly. The only thing that bothered me is that, I need to dip my fingers inside every time to take the gel out. This might be unhygienic so make sure to keep your hands clean before using the gel.

 To say about the consistency, its neither too thick and nor too thin. It is somewhat like the jellies we eat but still little softer than them. The colour is similar to that of orange juice which makes it very pleasant to eyes. I loved the overall texture and colour. Fragrance is not that sweet, because of it's no artificial perfume formula the fragrance was very natural. It doesn't hurt my nose but I am not yet sure about how sensitive noses feel.  It glides onto skin smoothly and easily, so no complaints about its texture and fragrance.

The very first time I applied it on my skin, it gave out a very cooling sensation calming down my skin. I guessed that this is going to leave a greasy feel behind but not at all, a perfect smooth finish it gives. Not glossy, Not matte, not dry, not moisturized, all it does is smoothed out my skin without any change. I felt very light and convenient soon as I applied this radiance get on my summer oily skin. I used it both at the mornings and nights, my skin felt visibly firmer after a week of usage. This skin gel suits oily skins best without leaving any greasiness and it also softens and firms skin with daily usage. The gel feels a bit sticky for 2 minutes after application, but completely dries off giving a smooth finish after that.

PROS

1. Cooling sensation with every application. This calms down damaged or burnt skin very well.
2. I experienced no side effects like breakouts or something.
3. Leaves skin smooth and oil free. It gives a natural look, neither shiny nor matte.
4. Perfect moisturizer for extremely oily skin. Do not get disappointed with the stickiness, it disappears in seconds.
5. Firms and softens skin with regular usage. 
6. I felt soft glow on my skin after regular usage.
7. A very small quantity is enough for whole face, hence the quantity is good. Can't blame the price.
8. Contains natural fruit extracts, yes! I felt the slight fruity smell.
9. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging.
10. Just herbs products are free from artificial perfumes, chemicals and preservatives.
11. 100% Vegan and non tested on animals.
12. Anti aging claim may be true because it firms skin. Great pick for 30+ people if you have oily skin.

CONS 
Sorry.. No cons I could find!

As they are new, they are available at very select outlets. Check their website for store locations and online availability here.

Nothing else I can mention as con. Of course, this radiance gel is not meant for dry skins but that cant be taken as a con because this product is specially formulated for oily skin and no such dry skin claims. You can try the other variants from this range, dry skins!

My Recommendation: I highly recommend this to extremely oily and oily skin types. Normals can pick this in summers and not for dry skins, try other variants from this range. Makes skin soft, firm and glow with regular use.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Will I Repurchase?: Of course. This product is going to my HG list on summers! It cools down skin like anything, softens and firms.
