My take on Himalaya Anti Stress Massage Oil:

Packaging: The bottle is not sturdy,and the oil spills off if you position the bottle wrongly[other than upright],it has a dropper like thing at the nozzle,but I think a sturdy flip open cap would have been better

Consistency-The oil is very light in consistency,and gets easily absorbed into the skin.

Color-The color is some what pink-red may be due to the ingredients in it.I like using colored oils rather than the regular transparent ones.

Smell-The smell is strong and may irritate sensitive noses,this is the major con of this oil.

When I first bought this oil I was very excited to use it, I immediately applied it on my skin and it got  absorbed into skin with a slight massage , I left the oil on my skin for about an hour and took a hot shower bath. My skin felt soft,supple and very well moisturized,and I was happy with the results. Regarding the anti stress claim, I feel its mainly the massage which relieved my stress rather than the oil.Its a regular good massage oil, that’s it.

Now summing up-

Pros of Himalaya Anti Stress Massage Oil :

• Light oil,and gets absorbed easily
• Makes skin soft,supple and moisturised
• Very affordable
• Easily available

Cons of Himalaya Anti Stress Massage Oil :

• Smell is bothersome.
• The claims are not completely true.

Would I recommend Himalaya Anti Stress Massage Oil?

Yes if you like using body massage oils on regular basis,you can try this for a change.
