When it comes to skin care, choosing the best products is always a must because skin is the largest organ of our body and it feeds on the creams and lotions we apply on it. Lotus Herbals is India’s leading natural cosmetics line. They make chemical free products and is very gentle on the skin. Shilpa Shetty is endorsing the new Lotus Youth Rx anti ageing range which I will review today. The products look very promising and devoid of any harsh chemicals. This new range from Lotus certainly seals the deal with its absolutely ravishing packaging! The youth rx products come in elegant purple and gold packaging and give off a very sophisticated and expensive vibe.
Back during the ancient civilizations, people did not have the means or the skills to develop and produce the vast variety of skin care products which are available today in this modern era. They tried to make their own beauty concoctions using various organic products which sometimes led to wonderful or dangerous results. In the 15th century, Europeans used to combine vinegar with lead to conjure whitening foundations to preserve their fair skin tone which caused serious damage to the skin as lead can cause muscle paralysis and even death but people back then hardly knew that. Egyptians were skilled in skin care as they used products such as herbs and natural oils to moisturize and tone their skin. Egyptians used to soak in these oils which protected them from the sun and deeply moisturized and softened their body.
The fascination of looking young had started during the ancient times and various techniques had been used to fight off wrinkles. Ancient civilizations used natural treatments to make their own anti-ageing skin care products. Cleopatra used to bathe in sour milk to exfoliate her skin and to fend off ageing signs. The milk was said to be donkey milk and it required 700 donkeys to accomplish the task. The acids in the milk possessed anti-ageing properties hence it was so popular with the beautiful queen of Egypt.

DAY TIME SKIN CARE REGIME
Lotus Herbals Youth RX Anti-Ageing Foaming Gel Review:
This lotus cleanser is perfect for everyday use. The consistency is very light and mild. In the mornings, I like to start of my day by gently cleansing my face with this cleansing foam. It comes in gold tube packaging with a bright purple screw on cap at the bottom. The foaming gel has a white translucent colour and it starts coming out just as soon as you open the cap so be careful while pouring it out as it is a little runny and watery.
The Active Ingredients in this face wash are:
- Jojoba, which helps condition and moisturize the skin
- Ginger, that helps prevent skin damage, improves skin complexion and helps stimulate blood circulation.
- Ginseng, helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and vitality.
- Milk Peptide Complex, helps fend off signs of skin aging and deeply nourishes the skin.
The foaming gel has minute pink coloured particles in it which helps clean the skin more effectively. The particles are not at all harsh, rather quite mild and gentle. It doesn’t foam up on the skin or leave it feeling quenched and dry. The best part is that the foaming gel moisturizes it and leaves the skin feeling very smooth. The lotus youth foaming gel glides now smoothly and has very subtle fruity fragrance in it which is very refreshing. The cleanser leaves the skin looking clean and refreshed.
Price in India: Rs.225 which is very affordable.
Lotus Herbals Youth Rx Ph Balancing Multi Active Toner Review:
After cleansing my face with the Youth Rx Anti-Ageing Foaming gel, I like to use my Youth Rx Ph Balancing Multi Active Toner. Using a toner is my favourite part of skin care regime as not only do toners prepare the skin for the other products but also because they are very refreshing to use.
Youth Rx toner comes in a cylindrical gold bottle with a purple coloured neck and transparent plastic cap. The liquid is golden yellow in colour which accentuates the lovely packaging.
The Active Ingredients of this lotus toner are:
- Green Tea, which is famous for its anti-bacterial and anti-ageing properties. It helps skin regeneration by rejuvenating old skin cells.
- Ginseng, helps the skin maintain its vitality and elasticity.

I like to directly spray it on to my skin as it enhances the freshness. The minute the youth rx toner comes in contact with my skin, it feels hydrated and revived. It has a very mild energizing cucumber fragrance and it springs the skin back to life. The amount that comes out of the lotus toner spray cap covers a lot of area so only 2-3 squirts of this product is enough to cover the whole face.
It takes around 2 minutes to dry (without the help of external air application) and evens and tones the skin. The skin looks hydrated and rejuvenated.
