Beauty Vixen: face masque

For the last little while I've been in love with Fresh face products, today I'm going to talk about my favourite item in that I've tried so far, a product my skin just loves:

Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask

Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask with advanced antioxidants is a hydrating treatment that immediately reveals softer, firmer, healthier-looking skin. The innovative formula’s velvety whipped texture has an immediate cooling effect to refresh the skin and the senses.

THE PROOF:

Proven to have a significant moisturizing effect for 6 hours
94% reported softer skin
84% noticed more supple skin
81% felt it smoothed and improved skin texture -Fresh.com

Ingredient List:

Aqua (water), glycerin, rice ferment filtrate (sake), caprylic/capric triglyceride, pentylene glycol, sodium polyacrylate, betaine, saccharomyces ferment filtrate, camellia sinensis leaf extract, avena sativa (oat) kernel extract, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, litchi chinensis seed extract, rubus fruticosus (blackberry) leaf extract, rosa damascena flower oil, sodium hyaluronate, adenosine, tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol, ethylhexyl palmitate, poloxamer 407, butylene glycol, parfum (fragrance), hydrogenated lecithin, menthoxypropanediol, maltodextrin, silica, ci 77891 (titanium dioxide), trihydroxystearin, hydroxyethylcellulose, disodium edta, sodium citrate, caprylyl glycol, citric acid, caramel, hexylene glycol, potassium sorbate, bht, biotin, phenoxyethanol, linalool

How To Use:

Cleanse and towel-dry skin. Apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse. Use 2-3 times per week.

My Thoughts:
This is one incredibly soothing mask. That is maybe the key thing about it. I put it on my skin when it is parched, wind burned, sun burned, crazy dehydrated, whatever it is that has made my skin really tight, red and uncomfortable, this stuff soothes it. Right a way. Its like grabbing a big glass of cool water on a crazy hot day...ahhhh.

Beyond the crazy hydration and amazing soothing effect I get from this product, it really calms any redness or irritations I might be feeling. The texture of it is so smooth and whipped. It isn't a creamy or oily mask, it is something different all together, it is whipped and smooth, so it absorbs into the skin very nicely.

My skin feels so soft after 5 minutes with this on, I have been known to leave it on for a half hour or so, just because it feels so nice on the skin, and I don't want to take it off.

I shouldn't forget, like all Fresh products, this baby smells fantastic. I cannot place what it smells like (I'm actually going to assume it is black tea) but it smell intoxicating to me.

Pros:

soothes skin instantly
leaves skin soft
hydrates really well
works extremely well on sensitive skin
smells fantastic

Cons:

a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Overall:
I love this product! Flat out I love it, I have so much to say about it but I feel I just cant find the words. I am always struggling with my dehydrated and sensitive skin, I feel I loose the moisture in it so easily in the summer and winter months to the sun or the wind and just can never quite recover, with this product it isn't an issue any more. It just works so well to fix that moisture loss without being a moisturizer or creamy/oily product. It just sinks into my skin and works (and very well). Its quickly become a holly grail product for me. I've already gone out and bought a second jar of it.

For the last few weeks I've been trying out some Fresh face products, I must say I really am impressed. My skin just loves the products.

Today we talk about the Sugar Face Polish.

A Natural Exfoliant with real strawberry seeds. Refines & Nourishes:

A nourishing exfoliant made with pure brown sugar and strawberry seeds that refines and hydrates for a more radiant complexion.

PRODUCT DETAILS: Sugar Face Polish with nourishing brown sugar and real strawberry seeds is an innovative formula for all skin types that exfoliates and hydrates the skin, instantly revealing a softer, smoother, more radiant complexion.

THE PROOF:

97% reported improved skin texture and softer, more supple skin

94% felt it had an exfoliating effect and decreased rough patches

88% noticed soothed skin that felt silky and velvety

85% said their skin was radiant -fresh.com

Ingredient list:

Sucrose, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Fruit, Propylene Carbonate, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candellila) Wax, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Limonene, Fragrance (Parfum), Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Fragaria Ananassa (Strawberry) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Prunus Domestica Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Water (Aqua), Tocopheryl Acetate, Potassium Sorbate, Citral, Geraniol, Linalool, Citronellol, Bht.

How to Use: After you wash your face and it is still a little moist, you apply the scrub to your face and massage it around (avoiding the eyes, of course) and then let it sit for 5-10 minutes. It can be used 3-4 times a week. Easy enough, right. I usually take a bath while I wear a mask so I am not tempted to do anything rash, like wash it off.

My Thoughts: Initially when I first used this scrub I though that there was no way strawberry seeds and sugar would be a thorough enough of a scrub for my skin, I was wrong. The sugar and the seeds work together to scuff my skin free of dead skin without being harsh. Plus the smell is amazing.

Really the smell is amazing! It adds to the spa like experience of this product for sure. It is fruity and sweet but not of strawberries in a way that is juvenile, just a perfect scent that makes you question if you can eat this stuff (don't do it, but I'm telling you that you'll want to).

I also like that the scrub acts as a sort of a hydrating mask when you leave it on for the 5-10 minutes. My skin didn't feel tight or dry when I left it on, but soft and plump.

Once rinsed my skin feel so soft and smooth it really is amazing. I often get some strange flaky skin thing going on between my eyebrows a few weeks after I pluck (it seems to be a follicle reaction thing). It drives me mad. This scuffed it right off without any issue, while leaving the sensitive cheeks soft and not dried out like many other exfoliatents can.

Pros:

Smells really good
Uses natural ingredients to exfoliate your skin gently but effectively
It has hydrating factors to it so it won't dry out your skin
It can be worn like a mask
Gentle enough for 3-4 times a week usage
You don't need a lot to get a good scrub

Cons:

Pricey, Fresh isn't an inexpensive brand
If you are a quick exfoliater and don't want to spend the 5-10 minutes wearing it you won't get the same effects

Overall:

I really like this scrub. I truly love how smooth my skin feels every time I use it. I am almost surprised every time. "Wow, my skin is so smooth and soft", every time, like I forget or something. Ph, and it also smells just fantastic. I also think a jar would last a very long time since you don't have to be overzealous with the product to make it work really well for you.
