Lotus splash cleanser


LOTUS SPLASH – a gentle cleanser
Lotus Splash is a gentle cleanser that is made with lotus flower extracts and bioflavonoids. Lotus is a sacred flower, known for its purity, and its extracts have been used for ages in South Asian medicines. Lotus extract has been known to help improve skin elasticity and keep it firm. The potent anti-oxidant property will help boost the natural glow making it look healthy. It is a vegan cleanser that is gentle on the skin and helps remove dirt and impurities while keeping the skin soft and supple.

These bioflavonoids are rich in antioxidants that have the natural ability to reduce dark spots and keep your skin healthy and even-toned.

I have been including both these products into my skincare routine for the past two months and the results have been promising. Although the pricing I’d say is on the higher end, if you would look to try out luxury skincare for once, you might take a look at the other products the brand offers as well. The packaging was excellent and I was so happy with the order reaching you sooner than expected.


There have been no breakouts while using these products and the brand claims that the product is suited for all skin types. You can shop these products from their website which offers free shipping in India and express delivery to over 200 countries.


Ashwagandhas Bounce moisturiser, Turmeric shield sunscreen and Cucumber quench lightweight moisturizer are some of the other products that you can give a try.

I hope this post will benefit you and i would love to hear from you soon if you have any feedback.
