HIMALAYA NEEM FACE PACK~ OGRE MUCH?

What do you really do when attacked by a bout of zits?
I know we all have our ways (some effective, some not so effective) ways to shoo them away!
I unleash the ogre in me to scare them idiots away!! ha ha




Himalaya Neem face pack is primarily for pimple prone skin.
Now my skin is went through a rough patch last year and I got everything (I spotted) that claimed to get rid of acne!
Of course I never repurchased 90% of those things.
One of few things that I did repurchase though was this neem face pack.


Price Rs 170 for 200grams of the product. Pretty reasonable. 
Shelf life: 3 years.


The tube says: For pimple prone skin
                       Neem. Turmeric
                       Clears skin. prevents outbreak & recurrence of pimples.
Antibacterial, purifying  Neem Face Pack regulates excess oil secretion, cleans clogged pores and prevents recurrence of pimples. Improves skin texture and imparts a natural glow.
Neem, well known for its antibacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples, and their recurrence. Further when combined with Turmeric, it effectively eliminates acne causing bacteria. Fuller's Earth soothes and cools skin.


Directions are pretty standard: Apply evenly on cleansed face & neck. Avoid the eye area. Allow to dry for 10-15 minutes. Remove with wet sponge & wash the skin with cool water.


If required, follow up with moisturizer (Himalaya:P)
May cause some tingling sensation due to herbal active ingredients, which is normal.
Each gram contains: Pdrs. (Powders?) Nimba 100mg (lemon, I assume), Panka 40mg, Ext. Haridra 20 mgg
The tube makes it hygienic.
This product has effectively helped my pimples run away like no other. I mean I have used other nice face packs too. But this one wins because it works really fast!
Whenever I feel I'm going to get a pimple (Your pimple wont come unannounced no? It gives signals.) I immediately put this on and the bloody pimple never surfaces! mu ha ha.
My face glows after.
Cleans skin very well.
What I do is I apply<Wait for it to dry< Once it dries, I wet my face< Scrub it off my face.

We're advised to apply face pack after scrubbing right? Not this. Will kill you

This dries up pimples. The earlier you use it, better it works. This holds true for a lot of products. But this, I know works for a lot of people. I haven't heard a single bad review of this from anybody! This is something that actually works!

Well like nobody is perfect.. err nothing.. This has some issues. Rather people have different issues with it, for example,
The smell. :| It has a VERY STRONG herbal smell. NOT for people with sensitive noses. 
It doesn't tingle your skin. It burns. Like its on fire.
Its one of the messiest face packs around. But the rest don't work half as well!
You see those particles? They scrub really well!
My skin is left dry after I get this off. But nothing that cant be taken care of with some moisturizer.
But what the heck.. You suck it up and get used to it after you see the results. It is brilliant!
Super love! Will buy it forever to scare the sh*t out of pimples! :D

PS: Super tip- If you feel a zit is about to surface or something when you're out, Just dab some sanitizer on the spot. It'll kill the bacteria and wont let the pimple surface 90% of times! :) 
Super tip 2. Carry sanitizer in your bag at all times! :D 
I absolutely LOVE the Himalaya sanitizer for that & no, neither did I get it for free nor am I being paid to say so. :)

    Cant believe that i havent read much of your posts in a looooooong time!! I came back on your blog after a while and BAM!! its look is all different...Fathima Likey!!

    I love your adorable way of adding captions to ur pics!!

    Nd this face mask looks intriguing.I am starting to get pimples these days..I am getting my first pimples when i am 17!! never had it before!! I think i might need to get one of this because my other pimple remedy is popping it as i cant stand to see it in its "pink" form.

  23. I get DSM from an ebay seller in Israel, its $5 for 200g including shipping, so thats not too expensive and good substitue, since I cant get my hands on this anyway :). But I do think that I would be happy with this neem mask once I'm back in India, the weather doesnt dehydrate your skin!
