NEUD Facial Kit – Fatima's Honest Review

I’ve always believed that facials are not just about skincare - they’re about self-care. While I enjoy experimenting with DIY scrubs and natural face packs (as many of you have seen in my facial clean-up guide and how-to facial at home), there are days when I just don’t have the energy to mix, measure, or even think. That’s when ready-to-use facial kits feel like a blessing.

This review is not sponsored or influenced. I picked up the NEUD DIY Makeover Facial Kit out of pure curiosity after seeing a few rave reviews online. And as someone who rarely gets time for a parlour appointment (thanks to life with two little boys and a to-do list that never ends), this seemed like the perfect way to sneak in a little pampering at home.

Let’s just say – it didn’t disappoint.

A Little Background: Why Facial Kits Appeal to Me

Let me share something personal. Last year, just before a family function, I had every intention of booking a salon appointment. But between preparing for guests, managing the kids, and trying to get everyone’s clothes sorted, my facial plan flew out the window. The morning of the function, I stood in front of the mirror with tired skin and dull eyes and thought—I wish I had something quick and effective at home.

That’s when I promised myself to always keep a backup at hand. A good facial kit that I could pull out in emergencies. Something that wouldn’t demand too much time or effort but would still leave me feeling refreshed and ready.

Fast forward to now – enter the NEUD DIY Makeover Facial Kit.

About the NEUD DIY Makeover Facial Kit

This kit is designed for a full at-home facial experience in just 30 minutes. It comes with six clearly numbered sachets:

1. Cleansing Milk – Prepares your skin by removing surface dirt and oil.
2. Exfoliating Scrub – Gently buffs away dead skin cells.
3. Massage Cream – Promotes blood circulation and relaxes facial muscles.
4. Face Pack – Tightens pores and rejuvenates tired skin.
5. Face Serum – Adds hydration and brings out a visible glow.
6. Sunscreen – Protects the skin after treatment.

It’s a complete system that doesn’t require any extra product or tool – just your time and hands.

My Experience Using the Kit

I used this kit on a weekday afternoon when both my kids were out with their father. The house was finally quiet, and I grabbed my chance. I opened the box, tied my hair up, and started the facial.

The cleansing milk felt gentle and was easy to wipe off. Then came the scrub—which was creamy and had very fine granules that didn’t feel harsh. I spent around two minutes exfoliating, and it already started to feel like a proper skincare session.

What surprised me the most was the massage cream. It spread beautifully and gave that salon-style silky finish. I massaged for about 10 minutes while listening to soft music, and it honestly felt so relaxing. I could feel the tension ease from my jawline and cheeks—something I didn’t know I needed.

The face pack dried quickly and wasn’t messy. I rinsed it off and followed it up with the serum, which added an instant sheen to my skin. Finally, I finished off with the sunscreen, even though I was indoors – it felt light and non-greasy.

Immediate Results

Right after the facial, I noticed a clear difference. My skin looked brighter, felt smoother, and had that “just pampered” softness. There was no redness or irritation (which I sometimes get from salon facials). I also liked that my face didn’t feel dry or overly stretchy—something that often happens with mud packs.

But beyond the visible glow, what I loved most was how calm and refreshed I felt. That 30-minute ritual reminded me that even on busy days, I can still take a little time for myself.

My Final Verdict
