Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal Pack (Rs 380 for 100gms) from nykaa.com
Activated charcoal seems to be the beauty buzz word these days when it comes to masks. I have been seeing some pretty awesome reviews of products containing activated charcoal. Using the Aroma Magic Acitvated Bamboo Charcoal Pack then was a no brainer for me.
The name itself mentions this is a 6 in 1 mask. What the product claims to do
- Lighten and brighten the skin instantly by exfoliating dead skin cells.
- Deep clean with activated carbon drawing out dirt, oil and make-up
- Nourish with restorative minerals and vitamins present in Himalayan Clay
- Protects with anti-bacterial shield provided by organic essential oils
- Smoothen and tighten pores
- Leave you looking younger, fresher and radiant
That’s quite a tall order for a face pack. Thought the last two points seem pretty much the same as the other ones.
Packaging – Aroma Magic Acitvated Bamboo Charcoal Pack comes in a white squeeze tube, somewhat similar to that of the toothpaste tube, however this one doesn’t spring back to shape. You can gauge how much is left on seeing the tube squeezed at the ends.Texture – It is a black thick mask with very tiny grains that are you can barely feel. It spreads out easily and you can feel that there is absolutely no creaminess or oiliness in the mask. It goes on as a very thin layer on your skin.
Usage – You are supposed to keep Aroma Magic Acitvated Bamboo Charcoal Pack on for 15 minutes and wash off after it dries. If you apply a really thin layer, and that is all you need, it does dry within 15 minutes. As it dries I could feel it pulling at my skin and my skin felt very tight. If you have oily skin you will not mind, but with dry skin this may feel really uncomfortable.
Washing off takes a bit of effort, but it all comes off.
My experience
The minute I took Aroma Magic Pack off my face I felt my skin looking fairer and clearer. I do have oily skin and use makeup on a daily basis. I guess the deep cleaning really worked well. My skin looks far brighter and nicer. In fact I saw a greater impact using this, than if I had gone for a facial. My skin was positively glowing.
There is some impact on the pores, though not much. They look as large as they normally do, so I wouldn’t really say it has a effect of tightening the pores.
I was expecting my face to feel really dry when I washed this off, but I was pleasantly surprised. It feels normal and hydrated. If you have dry skin, you may need to moisturize, that’s what the directions say.
Overall thoughts
I am simply blown away by the effectiveness of Aroma Magic Acitvated Bamboo Charcoal Pack. It is affordable, high quality, does what it claims and most importantly makes my face look amazing. I am definitely making this part of my normal weekly routine.
