Packaging:

As you can see from the image, Patanjali Soundarya Face Wash comes packed in a white colored, opaque plastic tube with a golden colored flip  cap. The packaging seems to be quite sturdy and strong. It also appears to be quite spill-proof and travel friendly.

Fragrance

When you squeeze out a little bit of it, you can see that it is white in color and  has a creamy texture. It does have a citrusy aroma – not too much, and a slight hint of a clinical smell but since the overall fragrance isn’t too overpowering, that’s not a con as such.

Patanjali Saundarya face wash - pea sized amount in palm




My experience:

I gently splash water on my face to wet it. Then I take a pea-sized amount  of the face wash and gently massage it on my face. A little goes a long way… Yes, you only require a pea sized amount of it.

It has such a creamy texture -feels like a shaving cream, in fact! Unlike the previous version, it doesn’t work up too much lather but rather feels like creamy foam stuck to your face.

When I rinsed it off,  my face feel squeaky clean but I got a bit of dry and stretchy feeling after that, which I didn’t like too much. And I have a combination to oily skin. So forget about dry skin, I think it’s not even suitable for normal skin.

I have been using it since last 2 weeks and as far I have noticed it doesn’t prevent pimples. These days I normally don’t get pimples but once in a while it does erupt. In fact, 1-2 pimples did erupt after using it. I wouldn’t say that this face wash caused it, but it didn’t do anything to prevent it also.

To be fair, this face wash does a good job of removing dirt, oil and dullness from my face and the fragrance does linger on the face for quite a bit. The face also glows for a while.

But that's all to it, nothing exceptional but not bad also!

Pros of New Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash

  • Only a little amount is required for a wash.
  • Paraben free
  • Pthalates free
  • Inexpensive
  • Goodness of aloe, neem, orange peel & tulsi
  • Added goodness of pearl and vitamin B3
  • Deep cleanses skin to remove dirt, grime and dead cells.
  • Imparts a temporary glow to the face.

Cons of New Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash

  • Face feels a bit tight and stretchy after washing
  • Does not prevent or treat acne and pimples
  • Not suitable for dry or normal skins

Conclusion

New Patanjali Soundarya Face Wash isn’t a bad product. It does its job to a certain extent for oily to combination skin  but it’s not likely to be suitable for normal and dry skins. Overall it’s a good, cheap, drugstore product that’s free from parabens and SLS.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients.

Lemon as a beauty aid

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
