Hi lovelies, today I’m reviewing Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Insta Glow Fairness Facial Kit. When I was in South India, I was totally tanned. So, I thought it was time to do a relaxing facial to rejuvenate my dull skin. I used dermd oc facial kit last time. I was quite satisfied with the result. But, this time I wanted to try a different product. So, I bought Lotus herbal whiteglow insta-glow fairness facial kit. It’s strange that most of the facial kits do not work on my skin. However, derm doc was an exception. It did wonder to my skin. This time my skin was severely tanned. So, I opted for the fairness facial kit.

(Disclaimer: I’m not promoting fair skin. I’m not at all obsessed with fair skin. I strongly believe healthy skin looks attractive, whether it’s fair or dark. Another thing I want to mention is that we always crave certain things that we do not have. It’s human nature. In India many folks crave fair skin. Outside of India, many people spend a fortune to make their pale white skin tanned. So, the fact is that we’re never happy with our beauty. During my college days, I used to compare my beauty with a gorgeous woman. Every boy in our class was awestruck by her beauty. I felt like I was nothing in front of her. But now, my perspective has changed. There is no absolute beauty in the world. No one is the most beautiful in the world. So, it’s best to not get obsessed with the idea that you have to look perfect. Our goal is to achieve beautiful, glowing, healthy-looking skin. When your skin looks healthy, you feel confident and attractive. I added this long disclaimer because I want my lovely ladies to be confident about their beauty)

PRICE:

Rs. 250/- for 40gm ( I got it on sale in Nykaa)

my experience with Lotus Herbals Whiteglow Insta glow Fairness Facial Kit:

This is the first time I’m using the Lotus Herbals facial kit. I had an expectation that this facial kit would help me get back my glow. However, at the same time, it is true that you can’t expect a drastic change in your skin by doing just one facial. One good thing about this product is that it didn’t cause acne on my skin. This facial kit is suitable for all skin types. However, if you have sensitive skin, then it’s better to do a patch test.

Among all the four products, the Oatmeal & Yogurt skin whitening and Brightening scrub is the best. The scrubbing particles are not harsh on the skin. The scrub has a creamy texture. The scrub brightens the skin.

I have read in reviews that people get an instantly brightened and fairer complexion after using this facial kit. The same thing did not happen to me. My skin looked nothing special. It was just the same. The next morning, however, I noticed a glow on my skin. It removed my tan a little bit. Some people said that this facial kit helped them get rid of dark spots. But, my dark spots were still the same.

But the review has not ended yet. I thought of using this facial kit on my back. It may sound strange. The skin on my back is dull and full of dark patches. So, I used the facial kit on my back. My mom has said that the skin on my back is looking fairer. The tan on my back also faded. Dark patches on the back also became less prominent.

Though this facial kit has not done anything miraculous to my face, but it certainly did wonder to the skin on my back. So, if I ever buy this facial kit again, I would buy it to polish my back 😀
