A NEW APPROACH TO BEAUTY

Combining ingredients such as soya, sake and sugar with modern science and know-how to create sensorial yet effective products has always been Fresh’s strength. The beautifully scented Rose Face Mask which calms and hydrates skin, and the Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask that is said to firm and intensely moisturise skin, are just two examples of the brand’s iconic mask innovations.

This history of research has led to a Fresh innovation 25 years in the making – the new Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask. It features an unprecedented level of food-grade ingredients – 50 percent of its formula is made up of pure fruit!

The breakthrough formula was developed in the Fresh Research Lab in the LVMH Helios Research Center, where chemists, biologists and dermatologists led by Fresh’s co-founder, Lev Glazman, create efficacious products with scientifically proven results.

To make an entire year’s worth of the product with its jam-like texture (smooth enough to spread, with bits of peel lending a slightly grainy feel), Fresh uses lemons, oranges and clementines harvested in the Mediterranean and ground into 13,000kg of concentrated fruit paste. The mask is fuelled by a proprietary vitamin fruit complex, a harmonious blend of vitamins C, E and B5; lemon and orange fruit extracts; and a mineral complex that revitalises the skin. To top it off , it sparkles with a deliciously invigorating citrus fragrance!

“After years of working closely with the Fresh Research Lab, we have bridged the worlds of vitamins and skincare – or, as we call it, skin nutrition – to create this highly innovative mask that awakens skin, minimises signs of fatigue, and reveals a vibrant, healthy-looking glow.” – Fresh co-founder and president of research and development Lev Glazman

SKIN NUTRITION

A firm believer that healthy skin comes from within, Lev drew inspiration from how nutrition affects our skin’s health. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so taking good care of it should be an essential part of your health regimen. Making sure you get all the vitamins you need for glowing skin in your diet is a must. With the creation of this highly innovative mask, Fresh has bridged the world of vitamins and the world of skincare.

Citrus fruits are known to be rich sources of vitamin C, the nutrient which helps the body create and maintain collagen, thus giving skin its elasticity and strength.

Applied topically, vitamin C is said to reduce the appearance of brown spots and other sun damage, improve the skin’s healing response, help ease the effects of inflammation and irritation, and boost the skin’s defence against UV exposure.

Suitable for all skin types, the new Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask is the perfect remedy that awakens dull and tired skin, giving it a healthy-looking glow, all in a fun, easy, yummy-smelling package.

“FEED” YOUR SKIN WITH VITAMINS

Much like how taking a supplement is believed to provide both an instant pick-me-up and long-term health benefits, the Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask is an essential part of any skincare ritual.

With this mask, you’ll see visible improvement after one use – skin is immediately softer, smoother and more radiant. However, just like with supplements (you won’t see results if you’re not consistent about taking them regularly), this mask gives you increasingly impressive results with continuous use: think more vibrant and even-textured skin. The brand says that this product is scientifically proven to improve the skin’s glow by 31 per cent, smooth the complexion by 34 percent and refine skin texture by 25 percent after just one use. After four weeks’ use, testers reported that their complexion was 51 percent smoother, and their skin texture was 45 percent more refined. It was also proven to improve the skin’s glow by 49 percent after four weeks.

THE MASK PREP

It’s important to deep-cleanse and exfoliate skin to unclog the pores before applying a mask, so that your skin will be able to reap maximum benefits from the mask.

For those with sensitive skin, using a harsh facial exfoliator can lead to breakouts. The Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask’s concentrated citrus fruit blend is packed with natural AHA fruit acids to gently refine skin without the need for physical exfoliants.

It improves skin clarity, leaving it softer, smoother and ready to absorb the ingredients from your next mask. The Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy- Boosting Face Mask can be used after any Fresh cleanser, and before any Fresh moisturiser, as the first step in your beauty ritual. Simply massage it onto moist skin for 10 minutes two to three times a week. Wash it off with water, and watch your skin’s glow grow as the mask lifts away skin stressors and refines and improves skin texture to reveal an incredibly luminous, healthy-looking radiance.
