Take a look at many women’s skin wish list and you’ll likely find “glow” near the top. Achieving that, though, can be tricky. 

For starters, skin has to be smooth to reflect light well. It also needs to have clarity and an even tone – no blotchiness or dullness that can make you appear tired. A generous amount of hydration helps too, as plump skin tends to look fresher and more dewy. 

However, many factors can get in the way of that, with stress and pollution often being the big culprits. Pollutants in the air can clog pores and make skin more prone to problems such as breakouts and dryness, while high stress levels and a hectic lifestyle can affect the skin’s ability to regenerate and repair itself. 

Adequate hydration and the right skincare go some way to countering the damage. But just like how the body needs a good, balanced diet to function well and look good, the skin, too, needs the right nutrition to look healthy and luminous. That’s why Fresh concocted the Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-boosting Face Mask, which works like an intensive vitamin supplement for the face. 

Half the mask’s formula is a concentrated fruit paste of Mediterranean lemons, oranges and clementines that delivers a powerful dose of vitamins. This is boosted with a proprietary vitamin- rich fruit complex designed to aid the delivery process. 

In the complex are vitamins C, E and B5 to brighten, protect and moisturise skin; lemon and orange extracts to clarify, tone and exfoliate; and a mix of magnesium, copper and zinc to help boost cellular regeneration. 

Feed your skin this nutritious fruit diet for a week or two, and you can expect softer, smoother and clearer skin that looks so healthy, it glows.
