My all time favourite - Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack - review

If there is one product I swear by for my skin - its the Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack.

This face pack is specially targeted for people with an oily skin and who suffer from acne.

Yeah I know the tube is almost empty - I've been using this for around a year now and I can't stop raving about it.
As you already know from my previous posts I suffer from acne on and off. But no matter what horrible things all the other products I keep trying, do to my skin, the Himalaya Neem Pack seems to get things back under control.

The pack comes in different sized tubes. I have the largest size which is about 200gm. The label states that the pack is anti-bacterial (due to the neem content) and it helps control oil, cleans clogged pores and prevents pimples. It imparts a glow to the skin. (Click on the image to enlarge it)

 Directions for use are also clearly mentioned on the back. Since it is a ready-to-use pack you simply squeeze out the amount that you need and spread it on your face. The pack is dark green in color - mainly due to the neem content I think. It also has fuller's earth and turmeric.

The texture is thick so I suggest applying it to a slightly moist skin (just dab off water after washing your face - don't dry it completely). Spread the thick green paste all over your face and sit back and relax.

It takes about 10 minutes for the pack to dry but I like to keep it on for a bit longer. When it dries I can see it getting into my pores - I mean I can literally see where all my pores are. Once dry I moisten my skin again and scrub it off gently - I like to scrub instead of simply washing it off because that ways my skin gets a little extra cleaning. The instructions on the pack ask you to apply moisturiser after washing off the pack (because it is drying) but I have combination skin and have never felt the need to moisturise. I just let my squeaky clean skin breathe :)

This pack really works well for my skin - it dries out existing pimples, keeps the ones that are trying to form under check and makes the skin feel really nice.
