REVIEW:  Tingez Green Tea Face Wash

Ok, so being a person with a combination to oily skin type, I've tried my hands on quite a lot of face washes that are available in the market to find 'The One'! But this quest to find the right face wash has often been disappointing. I either had breakouts, or my skin felt extremely dry and lifeless. In other words, the products I used were ok-ok. So, I decided to move forward with my quest and try the Tingez Green Tea Face Wash.

Green tea has been proven to aid skincare and help detoxify and rejuvenate the skin from the inside. It is, in fact, the core ingredient in many skincare products available in the market. But Tingez face wash claims to be 100% paraben and sulphate free, so I had to try this one and the results were amazing!

About The Brand

According to the brand: "Tingez is an exceptional brand family of skin care & well being products made using Kookkal Topical Grade™ green tea powder, rich in Catechins, and exclusive to our formulations. The Tingez range is specially designed to mitigate the harmful effects of environmental exposure such as sunlight, pollution, toxins etc and arrest the decline of optimum skin functioning."

Product Description

The brand states: "An exceptional skin care product made exclusively with the catechin rich kookkal tropical grade green tea from the Nilgiris mountain in South India. Catechins provides wonderful sun protection and anti-aging benefits to skin keeping it moist smooth and flexible by preventing the break down of collagen & elastin whiich is essential for keeping the skin young and healthy. Tingez facewash also provides healing benefits to sensitive skin."

• The main attribute about the face wash is that it is sulphate and paraben free. Sulphates are known to remove the skin from its essential moisture and are basically harsh on the skin, especially your face as the skin here tends to be quite sensitive than the rest of the body. 

• It is an all-organic, Vegan, all-natural product and is does not have any animal derivatives as well.

• The second major quality about this product is that it's key ingredient is green tea that has been exclusively sourced from the Nilgiri mountains. So, you can be sure that it is the best source of green tea that you'll be getting in the product.

Packaging

• The Tingez Green Tea face wash comes in a traditional white squeezy tube with a flip open cap which is, off course, travel friendly. 

• It costs for Rs. 349 for 100 gm of product. But I got it for Rs.199 at a discount from purplle.com You can click this link to purchase the face wash.

My Take 

The face wash has a runny gel like consistency. It is light brown in color and does not lather like other soaps or face washes because it is in fact free of soap and harsh chemicals. It also has a strong green tea fragrance to it which is quite earthy and gives you that feeling of using an all organic and natural product.

The product is quite smooth on the face. It glides on well. A little amount goes a long way. It removes all the dirt and impurities and doesn't dry out the skin. So, I'm sure people with a dry skin type will love it as well. 

It is in fact quite mild and soothing. I take a small amount and massage it on my face for a good minute and then rinse it off.

My skin feels fresh, hydrated and clean. It deep cleans the impurities , dirt and pollutants that have accumulated on your face during the day. My face definitely felt light and rejuvenated.

Green tea is said to have active anti-oxidants that help detoxify the skin. And using it on your face also helps in tightening and brightening of the skin. 

There have been instances where I had to put on heavy makeup for hours at a stretch, especially during parties or events that ran late. I was afraid that my skin would breakout. But after I removed off my makeup with a makeup remover, I used the Tingez Face Wash and it helped cleanse my skin so well and I had absolutely no breakouts!

I have been using this face wash regularly for 5 months now and I can say that I have definitely seen a reduction in breakouts, pimples and acne. I used to get dry patches every time there was a season change, but that has reduced too. My skin feels soft, refreshed and clean. I have a sensitive skin and the face wash claims to be excellent for sensitive skin types. It totally lives up to its claims. 

All in all I'm in love with this face wash as it has done wonders for my skin and my skin has never felt so alive and fresh in years. The price is definitely on the higher side but it is a guaranteed effective product. So if you ever get your hands on it, (if you're lucky enough to find it in stock!) do try it on and let me know your experience in the comments below.

Would I Recommend?

A 100% yes. This face wash has done wonders for my skin with off course regular use. It is, however, on the costly side but can be obtained on a discount from purplle.com.
