Review: Auromere Mud Bath and Mask

I'm an avid fan of Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional form of health care originating in India. The botanical medicines used in Ayurveda have always been of particular interest to me, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try an herbal mud bath product containing Ayurvedic ingredients. The formula-- the Auromere Rejuvenating Mud Bath and Mask-- looked like promising and pleasant Ayurvedic spa treatment that I could use in my own home.

The Auromere mud bath contains a combination of Indian gooseberry, mango, ginger, pistacia, nut grass, silver fir, vidanga, sweet flag, bonduc nut, haritaki, bibiaki, galangal, balharitaki, black clay, yellow clay, red clay, and Fuller's Earth. The ingredients are nothing short of luxurious. The clay mixture's texture is silky and smooth, and it has a rich, earthy fragrance. The product's chestnut coloration reflects its quality natural ingredients.

I tried using the Auromere mud bath using each of the direction sets offered. I used it as a mud bath, headache treatment, soap alternative and facial mask. The only use described by the company that I did not try was eye-wash. Despite the herbs' plausibility as a relief for eye pains and inflammation, the putting clay in an already irritated eye seemed like a bad idea.

When I used the Auromere clay treatment as an all-body mud bath and soap alternative, I was pleased with the results. The experience was relaxing and pleasant, and I enjoyed the combination of aromatherapy fragrances. The ingredients all seemed to help relieve tension in my upper back, neck, and shoulders, and I felt much less anxious after using the product, and my skin felt rejuvenated, moisturized, and supple.

The mud bath's efficacy as a soap alternative was a bit weaker. Perhaps my perception of cleanliness is based too firmly in a modern, Western standard, but I personally don't feel very clean unless I bathe with a lathering soap. The idea of getting clean by covering myself with mud also seems a bit counterintuitive, so it took a little rethinking before I could even begin to view it as an effective soap alternative.

I greatly enjoyed using the Auromere mud bath as a facial cleanser and face mask-- in fact, this was by far my favorite use for the product. It left my facial skin feeling he completely renewed and erased my tension headaches. I also seemed to have fewer issues with wrinkles or dark circles after using the mask. The longer I left the mask on, the more notable the results.
