Fab India Aloe and Cucumber Gel Face Pack

Fab India Aloe and Cucumber Gel Face Pack

Hello Beauties!

After being fascinated by the concept of gel scrubs, the new entry in my favourite list is the gel face packs. This definitely sounds interesting.  It has some properties which our conventional cream-based or mud packs lack. I always prefer something that is made up of organic and natural ingredients, so that I just do not end up torturing rather than pampering my skin with harsh chemicals. This gel pack though has some chemical ingredients, but definitely not the scary ones.

Today, I will be reviewing a face pack that can be very soothing and relaxing, especially in this scorching heat. Most of us do not feel like stepping out in this hot weather, but we would have to, there is no other go.  So, this gel pack can compensate your skin’s damage from being under the harshness of the sun to a great extent.

Product Description:

Made with aloe vera and cucumber extract, this gel face pack gives a cooling and soothing effect. It keeps the skin healthy and protects it from the environmental damages.

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Propylene Glycol, Carbopol 940, Sodium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Propyl Paraben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Aloe Vera Extract, Cucumber Extract, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Methyl Paraben
Directions for use: Avoiding the eye area, apply the pack and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.

Price:

225 INR for 100 ml.

3 years.

Packaging:

Comes in a traditional Fab India tub packaging with screw cover. A white lid inside the screw cap placed on the neck of the tub prevents the gel from leaking out and thus makes it travel friendly.

My Experience with Fab India Aloe and Cucumber Gel Face Pack:

I was head over heels in love with my “Fab India Neem and Tulsi Face and Body Gel Scrub” and was totally mesmerized by the concept of this gel thing.  On my recent visit to the Fab India store, another gel product caught my attention and that was this gel face pack. I was pretty happy with the scrub, so I thought of giving this gel face pack a try and thus bought it without thinking again. As soon as I came home, the first thing I did was to wash my face and then apply the gel face pack out of curiosity as I have never used a gel version of any face pack.

As soon as I opened the lid of the jar, a smell similar to after-shave lotions hit my nose and I was like “have I done a mistake?” But then, I decided not to be so judgemental without using the product. I applied it all over my face and let it dry for 10 minutes as per the instructions given. After drying, I felt my skin was firm and smooth with a healthy glow. Though the glow did not last longer than a day, but it made my skin feel fresh. The gel pack gave a soothing feel to my face from all the heat and gave a lively freshness. The face pack is an aqua blue-colored gel with neither too thick nor runny consistency. A coin-sized amount is sufficient for the whole face. When applied, it does not show the color on the skin. It spreads as a transparent film.

Pros of Fab India Aloe and Cucumber Gel Face Pack:

• Refreshing smell.
• Extracts of Aloe Vera and Cucumber.
• Only a little amount is required for every application.
• A single tub lasts for months.
• Not tested on animals.

Cons of Fab India Aloe and Cucumber Gel Face Pack:

• Contains parabens and urea.

Finally, I would like to say that this can be a great after-sun mask. Please do not expect it to do miracles on your skin like improving the complexion, tan removal, and making the skin texture smooth. It has effects but they are temporary, works excellently in soothing skin.
