Now since summers are almost on their way it is good time to get some face masks. They help me tremendously during the scorching heat. As I have oily skin which tends to go to extremes during summers these packs help keeping the oiliness under control, I tend to use them on alternate days during summers. And recently white I visited a store I spotted this one and it mentioned mud pack which are said to be great for oily skin. This is my first product from this brand and it is a very unique mud face pack and I love using it quite frequently.
Product Description: This unique formulation enriched with Kaolin, Turmeric Extract and Mint Oil cleanses deep seated impurities and toxins and helps remove excess oil from the skin making it spotless and beautiful. It also helps to improve blood circulation that tightens and brightens the skin.

My Experience with VLCC Mud Face Pack:
The pack comes in a sturdy white plastic tub with a secure lid to prevent any product leakage. Although the packaging is good but it not very hygienic and it is best to use a small spoon or a spatula to scoop out the product, also the mouth of the tub is quite narrow and hence there will be difficulty removing the product when it will come to an end. The pack is ready to use which is a relief for many as it is hassle free.
The pack inside looks almost like a foundation 😛 it has a medium thick smooth and creamy mousse like consistency which spreads very easily. You can apply a thin or a thick layer as per your preference and it feels cooling on application. But it has a strong ayurvedic sandalwood fragrance, which was quite annoying the first time I used it, and will be a turn off for many especially for people with sensitive noses, but after using it a few times u get hold of it. And also only key ingredients list is mentioned.
After applying the face pack it dries quickly within 8-15 minutes depending on how thick you apply. It comes of easily with water. It leaves my skin feeling very soft, smooth and supple and balances it really well and skin stays same for a day. Even though I have oily skin majority of the mud masks leave my skin feeling dry and I have to follow up with a moisturizer, but not with this one. It takes away excess oil without drying my skin at all and my skin feels very smooth to touch and hence I feel it is suitable for all skin types year round. It did not irritate my skin. After removing it my skin felt very clean and bright and the brightness lasted for a few hours, just like the regular face packs.
