Hey Dear Friends… ❤❤❤
Good day everyone! 🙂
The West Prefers a Tan and the East prefers it pale! Yes, I am talking about the skin tone… In the Western countries, the tan might be a symbol of exotic beach vacations, pool parties and such things.. But in the East, tanning isn’t adored or appreciated! Now, although complexion hardly matters, we still want to retain our original skin tone rather than getting tanned and artificially darker!
But alas! We can hardly avoid it! 🙁
Be it any time of the year, especially Summer, prolonged exposure to the sun causes our skin to get tanned and when not removed instantly, it accumulates, resulting in uneven, patchy, darker skin.. 🙁
Scrubs, and preferably Tan-removal scrubs are a must! ❤
The Summers are already gone and it’s Monsoon here… The perfect time to relieve yourself and your skin of all the stress and chill…
So, why not talk about a good tan removing scrub to scrub off all the tan that we have accumulated during those harsh summer days? 😀

MY TAKE ON THE PRODUCT:
The Biotique Bio Papaya Tan-removal scrub comes in a typical green and white Biotique tub packaging (The brand should now change their packaging.. It has really become a bore! 😛 )… The tub is contained within a green and orange cardboard box for extra safety… All the details of the product are mentioned on the body of the tub as well as on the cardboard box… The tub also has an inner lid to avoid any spillage of the product and a screw cap that locks in tightly, thus making it safe for travel purposes… ❤

The scrub has a damn thick, creamy consistency and a faint brownish grey colour to it.. The smell of the scrub is quite mild and resembles the fragrance of apricots.. ( Although it is a papaya scrub, I could no where smell of papaya! 😛 )
The scrub has a good amount of scrubbing granules and one small tub of this would last for months.. ❤

This bio-papaya scrub works great as an exfoliator, scrubbing away all the dead and dry skin cells and unclogging the pores..
It makes the skin really soft and smooth post usage and doesn’t dry it out at all.. ❤
Also, It removes the fresh tan to a great extent if not completely and makes the face look brighter… ❤
So, it stands true to all its claims of being a tan-removal scrub!
Apart from that, it never broke out my acne prone skin, neither did it increase or harm any pre-existing acne… So, it suits the acne prone skin as well! ❤
The only problem that I faced with this scrub was the size of the scrubbing granules.. They are quite big and personally, I feel them to be a bit harsh against my (non sensitive) skin…
So, in my opinion, it is a great scrub to be used weekly or even twice a week.. But it would be quite harsh on skin if used regularly as a daily tan-removal scrub! 🙁

SUMMING UP PROS AND CONS:
PROS:
1. Inexpensive and easily available. Buy it from here!
2. Travel friendly.
3. Works great as an exfoliator.
4. Works up to a great extent as a tan-removal scrub.
5. Doesn’t make the skin dry or stretchy.
6. Suits acne prone skin.

RATING: 4/5
FINAL TAKE: Biotique Bio Papaya Tan Removal scrub is a really great scrub that does what it claims to do and would suit “mostly” all the skin types.. The only con for me is that I can’t replace my daily tan-removal scrub with this due to its harshness!
Hope It Helps ❤
Some biotique products dint suit me bec of my sensitive skin type.. This looks promising thanks for rye the review
If you have sensitive skin, please do not try it! It would be too harsh for your face 🙁
I use potato mash and tomato mixture for removing tan..
Wow.. thanks for suggesting.. will surely try 🙂
Papaya is a natural de-tanning expert given by nature. I kind of like Biotique products, and when the same goodness is packed in box why not!
Just a little apprehensive about the bigger granules else this looks a perfect detanner
I agree.. the granules are a bit harsh, but otherwise it is too good 🙂
I use this biotique product and it removes tan effectively. I love their herbal range.
Biotique is my favourite too.. 🙂
Yep, it does look a it harsh on the skin. Good for body!
Definitely good for body.. thanks for visiting dear ❤
Have used this and found it good to be used once in a while but not daily..but yes it does give a feeling of fresh skin.
I completely agree 🙂
When I start reading I was so happy to read the ingredients list and the effects too and i was keeping in my bucket list too. But at the end when I saw about the granules, i just changed my mind, as my sensitive skin always reacts to harsh granules. Thanks for such an honest and detailed review.
I am so glad my review was helpful to you.. thanks for visiting dear ❤
Looks like a great product but as you mentioned, I will use it weekly 🙂
Yes.. otherwise it can be harsh on skin ☺
Iam Ruhi I have hyper pigmentation in my face please suggest me a skin whitening soap with affordable price mam
It looks like a great scrub.. Thanks for the review
Glad you liked it! thanks for visiting 🙂
This looks nice and my recent vacation to the beach a month ago and am still not completely rid of my tan..
You can definitely give it a try on body and also on face if you don’t have sensitive skin ☺
I agree that the packaging should change , we all need some changes! I guess the product would be delivering as biotique is a great brand!
Yes.. the product is quite good but the granules are somewhat harsh on skin 🙁
I wish the granules were mild… Maybe then it won’t suit my sensitive skin
No if you have sensitive skin, don’t use it 🙁
It is good for people with non sensitive skin! I have a sensitive skin and the granules were way too harsh for me 🙁
I agree.. the granules are really harsh!
I have sensitive skin, don’t think I will go for it.. thanks for your honest review
Don’t use it, it would harm your skin.. ❤
right now i’m using Himalaya scrub but this sounds very good coz of papaya and affordable. Will try this soon
Himalaya scrub is really good.. this one has a bit harsh granules!
I have used one of their masks recently and felt as if I am rubbing skin with glass pieces. It hurt me badly so I stopped using it after that. Otherwise, i have used other products by this brand and have had a good experience. Would like to try this scrub.
This scrub has really harsh granules.. i found it very harsh for face!
Usually my tans take 3-4months to go. This looks like a good product
This is quite a good product.. do try it 🙂
my skin is sensitive… i don’t use scrubs usually… never tried this one..
Skip this anyways if your skin is sensitive.. it’s very harsh!
I love the honesty in your review. I like the product… will consider it in my next buy
Try it sometime.. it works 🙂 ❤
I haven’t tried any of their products yet. But would like to try this one.
BIOTIQUE has some really amazing products.. do check them out!
I found this scrub harsh for my face too! I just ended up using this on my body to remove tan.
The granules are really harsh for face! 🙁
Though I haven’t used this I blindly trust biotique products……..
Biotique has some really awesome products! 🙂
