Of late, marathons have gained mainstream popularity, attracting participation from God-gifted runners and wanna-be runners. I was initially convinced that I was one of the rarefied few, gifted to fly by foot. But my maiden marathon soon taught me a painful lesson, that I was not the type who would be able to run across continents and oceans despite my deep-rooted disillusions.

With muscles sore and cramped, my buddy presented me with Deep Heating Rub. Ahhhh... *insert inappropriate sighs of relief*

No, Deep Heating Rub could not heal my injured pride or sooth my despondent heart, but it had certainly alleviated the physical discomfort and pain!

I like the fact that Metholatum Charcoal Facial Wash foams easily with a pea sized amount. Which means, one tube indeed goes a long long way.

Also, your skin wouldn't feel overly tight and dry after a wash, which probably can be to the inclusion of olive oil and cypress tree essense.

While I would always vote for a fragrance free wash, the use of this has been kept rather minimal, so one should be able to indulge in it without much irritation.

Overall, a well-thought out product, I would say!

Smells good, foams well and doesn't strip overly dries the skin. This is great for oily skin, and I think the addition of charcoal is a much welcomed anti-bacterial ingredient!

Okay. I admit, I didn't grab this sample to try it. In fact, I had already used this before and a small sample of Deep Heating Rub is always great to carry around. :p

Tried and tested, expectedly good.
