Hi Guys,
Welcome back
to the Glistening Lane ✨
So yesterday,
I went on an engagement of one of my cousin. And tomorrow it’s going to
be a hectic day because it’s her wedding. For some reason, I prefer to get
dressed for such occasions at my place itself rather than at the bride’s house.
Because bride’s houses are usually so chaotic that you can definitely not get
ready with 10 people wandering around you and looking at your makeup items.
Honestly, I prefer not-so-crowded places.
Anyways,
with that one day in between for rest, I decided to sit down and write some blog
posts. I also crave for clicking some product pictures but my work goes
smoothly when I have content curated beforehand. Or else, I’d end up taking three
batches of picture and still crib upon if they look good or not!
Some time
back I did a post on Skincare Villa’s Coffee Mud Mask and
today I shall unravel my views of their Green
Tea & Mint Cleanser. Now, I’ve used their products before and different
cleansers as well. And I must confess the fact that I loved them! My love with
them was like a little girl’s childhood crush which preoccupies her heart for
almost all her life until another crush crops up! 😅 Weird analogies! In my
case, that new crush also happened to be another product of Skincare Villa. I
got Oats
Almond Cleanser and I loved it! Now I have Green Tea & Mint one and
my eyes have been blinded to other things. Such is my love for this one. With
such a long intro, let’s begin with the review –
About Skincare Villa Shop:
Skincare Villa Shop is a brand which has been
established by one of the Skincare Enthusiasts and Blogger - Sonali Patil. All
her products are 100% Natural and freshly prepared in small batches.
There are no preservatives
incorporated within her products and thus what you apply onto your skin is
sheer goodness! Also, her face masks and facial cleansers are mostly powdered

your skin’s concern, you can ask Sonali and she also customizes products

Ingredients: Oats, Almonds, Organic Green Tea
& Mint Powder
Price: INR 250 for 50 grams
Directions for Usage:
Take a small
amount of the cleanser and add water to make a smooth paste. Gradually massage
you face in circular motions and wash off with cold water.
Packaging:
Skincare
Villa Green Tea & Mint Cleanser comes is a plastic jar with a rotate open
lid. The packaging is pretty much simple and travel friendly. Since there isn’t
any liquid content inside, there won’t be a trouble of leaking jar while
travelling. The lid also has the brand’s logo onto it and you used to get a
printed information pamphlet earlier but now they also have printed details
stuck onto the packaging itself.
Mint Powder – Mint has been blessed with salicylic acid which helps in case of acne. It also works to calm down any sorts of inflammation onto the skin.
Overall, I’m
a big fan of such natural cleansers and I would definitely repurchase this.
There’s only one factor which I felt needs improvising. Some of the almond
particles were quite big and not milled properly. Every time I’d use the
cleanser, I would find some big chunks and I’d remove it because I get one or
two bumps every other day and I don’t want them to be irritated.
A Little About the Ingredients:
Oats – Oats are known for their amazing potency
of working as a cleanser and an exfoliator. It also helps in sufficing your
skin’s need of moisturization. It makes your skin feeling soft, smooth, healthy
and radiant. If you have an oily skin, oats will take care of your skin’s
tendency of producing excess sebum by providing natural moisturization.
Almonds – Almonds help in nourishing your skin
and it also battles away the damages sun endows on us via UV rays.
Organic Green Tea – Green Tea helps in detoxifying your
skin, healing post acne scars as well as for subsiding inflammation. Green tea
helps lightening the complexion naturally and makes the skin look healthy.
Mint Powder – Mint has been blessed with salicylic acid which helps in case of acne. It also works to calm down any sorts of inflammation onto the skin.
My Experience:
I love this
cleanser, especially for mornings when there’s no makeup on. This cleanser has
slight texture due to almond and you can use this for everyday exfoliation. It
makes my skin naturally glowing and soft to touch. Also, I saw how it made my
skin look fresh without depriving the natural moisturizers. For application, I
take out some of the powdered cleanser and mix it with few drops of water. Then
I massage the same onto my damp skin for a minute or so. Now what it does is cleanse
the skin and at the same time caters subtle exfoliation as I mentioned before.
There is no greasiness left after washing off. This cleanser wouldn’t really
take off all your makeup but of course you can use your favourite makeup
remover solution before washing off your face. Even the foamy ones won’t really
take off every waterproof makeup so I don’t think this aspect would bug you
much.
Rating – 4.2/5
That’s all what I’ve
got for you guys today..
