Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Wash Review

Hi Everyone

Today, I'll be talking about a not-easily acceptable theme i.e. intimate care. Whether we accept it or not, most of us have experienced issues related to unhealthy vaginal area at some point of time and also lacked proper guidance.

Why I needed an intimate care product?
Its not very long since I'm in a regular practice of using intimate care products. Just like most females, I also believed that cleaning the intimate area with plain water and usual bathing bar would do the needful. I usually cursed the unhygienic toilets that I needed to use at office etc, but never realized that my dry, itchy vaginal skin actually requires something gentle to prevent those frequent infections.

Now that I know how important it is for a female to choose a properly tested intimate wash, I make sure to keep one handy all the time to avoid the risk of diseases like UTI.

Recently, I tested a newly introduced Ayurvedic Intimate Wash sent by a trusted Indian brand Medimix that is quite popular for its classic herbal soap range since generations. And I'm ready to unveil the secret of healthy intimate area ...
Product Claims:
Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Hygiene wash is a safe and effective personal hygiene formulation enriched with smoothing and emollient substances. It keeps you fresh and fragrant while reducing itching, irritation and other skin infection.
Herbal Formulation:
The Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Wash is the world’s first Intimate wash made using the expertise of Cholayil and the rich secrets of ancient Kerala Ayurveda. It consists of the choicest natural ingredients like extracts of Lime, Rosemary, Neem, Sage, Aloe, Vetiver and Bisabolol, Vegetable Glycerine and Natural Oils. 
Non-Synthetic Composition:
The brand has not only infused extracts of various herbs in the product, but has set an example to offer an efficient composition for women by totally avoiding chemicals like SLES, Alcohol, Paraben, Sulphate, Nitosamine etc.

Packaging: 
The product comes in a see-through plastic bottle. I like the cute curvy shape of the bottle for better grip. The bottle is encased in the outer cardboard carton as shown.
The press-to-open cap has small opening underneath that lets you take out just the right amount of product quantity needed per use. To me, its as good as a pump dispenser. I'm quite comfortable to carry this light-weight bottle in my bag.
Fragrance & Texture
The Medimix Intimate Wash is clear gel in thin consistency. Only a few drops of liquid is sufficient to cleanse the intimate area. Despite being an ayurvedic formulation, the product doesn't smell as peculiar or unbearable as traditional products, rather it has really pleasant fragrance to keep the skin odor-free for quite long. I'm liking the feminine soft fragrance of the product.
My Experience:
Massaging a few drops of this clear gel intimate wash around your intimate area is the only requisite. It produces enough lather. Rinsing it off with plain water ensures effective cleansing.

The product also contains lactic acid that promotes the growth of good bacteria responsible for maintaining a healthy vagina. It also controls the pH level of delicate intimate zone by keeping the protective layer of vagina in good condition, whereas a normal bodywash used down below significantly disturbs the ideal pH level and turns out to be the main cause of unpleasant situations. In simplest words, if this defense mechanism of vaginal area functions properly, we are safe from all kinds of discomfort, irritation, and infections.
Since Medimix intimate wash is a mild formula, it is safe for everyday use. Not only the product keeps your delicate area odor-free in routine usage, but also soothes the unbearable sting around your private part during menstrual cycle. Great relief you see!!

The assurance of gynaecologically and dermatologically tested product comes at the pocket-friendly price of Rs. 150 for a 100 ml pack. Its widely available in online stores like Snapdeal for easy delivery at your doorstep.

To conclude, Medimix Ayurvedic Intimate Wash is a highly recommended product for women who are bound to attract additional care of their intimate zone. I feel Medimix is all set to expand its range and further its vision of "Ayurvedic Happiness" for all. 
Hope you are now convinced to use an Intimate wash. If you've used this product, do share your experience in comments..

Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Neem Tulsi Shampoo Review

The glory of beautiful tresses is nothing but a treasure to me. I am actually tempted to use great hair care products that cure lifeless hair every time as the season changes.  Thanks to frizz, limpness, and other annoying summer-gifted worries that I need to try something new to fix my hair problems.

Today's post talks about an ayurvedic shampoo packed with numerous benefits of using neem & tulsi.

Product Claims :
Vedantika Neem Tulsi Shampoo is a nourishing blend that purifies and nourishes the scalp and hair. Anti bacterial properties of Neem and Tulsi extracts help remove dandruff and cleanse the scalp. While aloe vera extracts hydrate the hair from the root. This gentle formula is mild enough for everyday use. 
Key Ingredients - Neem Oil, Tulsi Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Glycerin, Honey, Shikakai, Spring Water. Indian herbs Neem (margosa), tulsi (basil) are known for their superb antimicrobial properties. Aloe vera hydrates while Shikakakai cleanses naturally. In synergy they remove dandruff cleanse the scalp efficiently and leave hair shiny and healthy.
Direction for use - Apply on wet hair, massage gently, rinse off.

Price:  Rs 185 for 200 ml

My take on Vedantika Herbals Neem Tulsi Shampoo:
Although my scalp is usually trouble-free, but there are some hair troubles that I had been facing due to sweaty summers. Moreover, my son used to have a tendency of developing mild allergic reactions on his scalp specially during summers and since then I made him use neem based shampoos. I know I could have used boiled neem leaves in water to cure this naturally, but frankly I couldn't always manage so due of lack of time. So I took to some gentle shampoos with herbal preparation. When I opted for Vedantika's Neem Tulsi shampoo, I had high hopes from it bcz I had good experience with their another variant i.e. Lemon Grass Shampoo as well (reviewed here).

The Neem Tulsi shampoo reduced the itchiness of the scalp in one or two applications because it is enriched with antibacterial and antiseptic properties of the active ingredients. It lathered quite nicely and eliminated dirt and excess oil without leaving the scalp irritating me. Though the shampoo is mild and gentle, but I won't say you may skip conditioning your hair post head bath.
It feels nice when the shampoo gives a cooling effect on the scalp which I believe is due to the tulsi oil used in the shampoo. The shampoo effectively lowers scalp inflammations as well as restores the moisture level of the hair by use nourishing essential oils and aloe vera.
Now speaking about the color n fragrance, the shampoo is very cute light green in color which actually turns to be neutral as pour it on your palm. It smells not so delightful, but I bet it is not a irritating one. I could relate this aroma quite closely to tulsi than to neem. I am skipping giving details on packaging etc which are similar to other Vedantika shampoo.
The shampoo claims of reducing hair fall as well, but I am yet to make up my opinion for the same. But overall Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Neem Tulsi Shampoo helps get rid of scalp inflammation, minimizes growth of bacteria and lowers most reasons causing you smelly scalp.

Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub Review

Hello Everyone,

                         I'm here today to talk about Skin Polishing. We expose our skin to a variety of things everyday including dust, pollution, harmful rays and what not! I realize that skin polish at least once a week is essential to remove dead skin cells and to keep our skin glowing. Skin Polishing is basically the process of exfoliation used to create ultra-smooth skin. You might be thinking that only professionals at beauty parlors can do it for us, but today I'll share my first impression of an effective skin rejuvenation product i.e. Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub :)

About Vedantika Herbals:
                 NCL Agro foods (vedantika Herbals) is a group of researchers and scientist headed by Shri N. C. Limbasiya, a food technologist from Gujarat. The main motto of the brand is to spread awareness about Health using Herbs.

Packaging
                       Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub comes packed in a transparent plastic bottle with an outer screw cap and an inner plastic push-in cap that will tightly hold the content inside. 

Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub
Net Quantity: 110 gms/ 3.88oz
Price: INR 185
Shelf Life: 30 months


Ingredients:  
              Rubia Cardifolia, Withania Somnifera (ashwagandha), Oscimum Gratissimum (Clove Basil), Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, Prunus Amygdalus (sweet almond), Juglans Regia (Walnut ), Citrus Aurantium ( bitter orange), Cinnamomum Camphor, Gram Flour & Oat Bran.

 Instructions to Apply :
                      Make a paste by soaking required amount of Skin Polishing Scrub in milk for 10 minutes. Gently rub to clean wet parts of the body for 5-10 minutes in circular movement. Wash off with normal water. 

My first experience with the product:
                   To begin with, let me tell you that as soon as I hold the Skin Polishing Scrub in my hand (still packed), I could smell a familiar fragrance from my childhood days. Reading the ingredients, I realized its my favourite aroma of Camphor :) 

                    As oppose to the usual scrubs that come in paste form, the Vedantika Skin Polishing Scrub is in powder form that can be converted into a paste of the consistency that suits your needs and preferences. So I utilized my Sunday yesterday to pamper my skin with this scrub and followed the instructions.

                      As I rubbed a pinch of this Vedantika Skin Polishing Scrub between my fingers, I felt happy to know that it is neither so crumbly ground nor very minutely ground. Because if its so coarse, I would have been afraid of scratches on my skin .... & if its so soft like a gel, there is always a feeling of not getting the purpose solved. As they say that a body scrub should ideally be of similar consistency to table salt. I found Vedantika Skin Polishing Scrub just the ideal one. :)

                  Later I soaked it in milk for few minutes and added half a spoonful of honey to the mixture because of my dry skin type. The gritty paste in light chocolaty color showed colorful ingredients in li'l chunks :)

           Beginning with splashing some water on my skin, I rubbed the paste on my face, neck and arms for the first use in circular motions. Here I paid close attention to the sides of my nose and any fine lines or dry spots on my skin by being careful around the eyes, when using it on face. Then I targeted the exposed parts of my back to cleanse with this scrub.
           
                  Like we all are aware of the benefits of non-abrasive and gentlest exfoliant Oat bran, it thoroughly removed the skin impurities. Infact I'm expecting that my tanned forehead skin would surely be lightened with its regular use. I finished off by splashing my skin with fresh water to close the pores and freshen up my skin.

Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub

Pros: 
1. Ayurvedic formulation using ancient beauty secrets.
2. Just perfectly ground.
3. Causes no irritation.
4. Smells soothing.
5. Easily Available.
6. Genuinely Priced.
7. Travel Friendly Packing. 
8. Can be used of any part of the body.


Cons:
1. I experienced dryness even after adding honey into the mixture. I guess I need to pour in a generous quantity next time before a final word.  
2. If you find the price on a higher side, just recheck the ingredients list to know the obvious reason.

Overall Thoughts:
                 Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub not only makes your face feel clean and renewed, but also prevents breakouts and exfoliates dry skin. It sloughs off dead skin, blackheads and dirt from your skin gently without being harsh on skin. Those who want to stay away from beauty salons can definitely go for an effective remedy for brighter and more even textured complexion using Vedantika Herbals Ayurvedic Skin Polishing Scrub.
