FabIndia Honey Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub Review

FabIndia Honey Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub Review

Hello dearies,

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  May God grant you all the wishes and goodies that you desire for! Coming to today’s review, it’s a 2-in-1 scrub from FabIndia.  Oatmeal has always worked as a great body exfoliator, so the moment I saw the main ingredient, I got it straight away.  Here’s more about this scrub.

Price:

Rs. 250 for 120 ml.

Product Description:

With a combination of honey, oatmeal powder and walnut granules, this face and body scrub makes for a great cleansing face and body scrub. It is a part of the range of skin care products from Fabindia that help maintain and protect skin.

My Experience with FabIndia Honey Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub:

I haven’t tried a lot of products from FabIndia, but I had to try some of the products because of the natural ingredients.  The scrub comes in an inverted tube and the tube size is medium, so it is travel-friendly as well. It has a flip open cap on that’s convenient to use, so full marks for packaging from my side.

Coming to the ingredients, it has honey, oatmeal and walnut granules and all of these are known for their exfoliating properties hence it makes a perfect combination. The scrub is of light brown color.  The consistency is thick and glides very smoothly over the body. The scrub is creamy and loaded with granules as well. So we get hydration as well as exfoliation from this one. The fragrance is nice in the beginning, but during application, it turns herbal.  It smells like spices, but I wouldn’t deduct any points for it because there will be a lot of people who may like such types of fragrances.

The granules exfoliated my skin well and my skin looked fresh and bright.  I could actually feel that it scrubbed away the impurities from my skin. It made my skin smooth and supple. On the other hand, the creamy texture imparted excellent hydration to my skin. I do not have dry skin so I did not have to use a moisturizer. Now, coming to the disappointment.  The scrub stings like hell! There was a burning sensation and my skin was craving for cold water. Although the scrub exfoliated my skin, it also irritated my skin yet I wouldn’t mind using it for my body. But I have used better scrubs than this for my body and a natural mixture of honey and oatmeal would too do a better job than this one.  So, I don’t think I would consider repurchasing this scrub, I would rather get a tub full of TBS scrub which has those harsh granules because I like it that way!

Pros of FabIndia Honey Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub:

• Decent packaging.
• The quantity is good for the price since we don’t use body scrubs daily.
• Creamy scrub full of granules, exfoliates skin without drying out.
• Hydrates skin.
• Buffs away dull layer of skin, makes skin look fresh.
• Does not leave any sticky layer behind.

Cons of FabIndia Honey Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub:

• Irritated my facial skin.
• Stings a lot.
• The granules are small, would have preferred bigger granules.
• A natural mixture of oatmeal and honey would work better than this.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend FabIndia Honey Oatmeal Face and Body Scrub?

I would never use it for face because it irritated my skin.  The fragrance is something that I do not like, so I would not repurchase and will not recommend either.

IMBB Rating:

3.2/5

Conclusion:

I feel a natural mix of honey and oatmeal works better than this scrub.
