The Face Shop Damyang Bamboo Fresh Soothing Gel Review

Hello my beautiful people.....

Hope you all are doing well ❤️

Aloe vera gel is a much loved beauty ingredient in our routine but it was fascinating to see Bamboo and Cucumber gel getting equal importance. The bug in me itched and hence I got the Bamboo gel  from Nykaa.com.

I have mentioned it in my Face shop haul in my blog. But I'm so impressed with the results its showing on my skin.This review is based on continuous use of it in my skin care regime.

Skin type :Dry and sensitive.
Oily skin people can use it too. But i specially recommend it for dry and sensitive skin type family like me.

Product Description:
• A soothing gel with moisture infused gel-type texture that gives a moisture massage to skin with cooling, soothing effects
• A design that looks like freshly cut bamboo infused with bamboo water
• A multi-use soothing gel that can be used on the face and body

My Experience with The Face Shop Damyang Bamboo Fresh Soothing Gel:

The Damyang Bamboo gel comes in a huge tub packaging with all green theme. The details about the product are mentioned on the body. The tub comes with a protective shield which controls spillage. Considering the size of the tub it is definitely not travel-friendly. You need to de-pot it in a smaller tub if you wish to travel with it.

The texture is superb, just like aloe vera gel, but it spreads better. It is a multi-tasking product which can be used as a moisturizer and a mask, but only for the face. It is good for all skin types and suits sensitive skin as well.

On application it feels cool and relaxing. It spreads very easily but is not slippery. I love the fragrance of this. I prefer using it as a mask, so I apply a thick layer of it on the face and let it absorb for some 20-30 mins.It instantly makes the face look brighter; the dullness is gone and you end up looking and feeling fresh with the hydrated glow.

I prefer using it before sleeping, So that it gets easily absorbed in the skin and makes my skin feel super hydrated and fresh in next morning.

Pros of The Face Shop Damyang Bamboo Fresh Soothing Gel:

• Lovely fragrance.
• Little goes a long way.
• Gives instant cooling sensation.
• Brightens skin in a snap.
• Refreshes dull tired skin.
• Hydrates without breaking out.

Cons of The Face Shop Damyang Bamboo Fresh Soothing Gel:

• Tub packaging is not travel friendly
• Availability.

You can easily get it on any The  Faceshop counter. Or you can get it on sale at an amazing deal on Nykaa.com.
