Review: Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask

 

I find that I tend to gravitate towards a lot of masks when I'm shopping online, which would explain why I have a giant stack of them still looking for a spot on my face! As a result, one of my latest purchases, while perusing the Sephora website in a deep dive on the internet as I was looking for that next BIG thing, was the Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask!

This is available in two different sizes - 100 ml and 30 ml - and it's great this way, because if you're looking to try it, you can grab the smaller tub, and when/if you're keen, then you can upgrade to the bigger size. That way, at least you're splashing out $55 for the smaller of the two, and at $140 for the bigger tub, you'd want to make sure that you're happy with the product before forking that amount over! This comes in a white, heavy jar with a screw lid, and it's easy to remove.

The first thing that hits you is the scent of the black tea - at once, it is both refreshing and reassuring. There is something about the smell of black tea that I find very relaxing - it may very well be the connotations that are associated with tea in general, and the light scent that accompanies the mask as I slowly smooth this over my skin is a delightful treat for the senses. This mask has a light, whipped texture and melts into the skin over the course of 5 to 10 minutes. Once it's washed off, I find my skin to feel softer, while also looking subtly brighter. 

I like using this for when my skin is in need of a bit of a gentle, yet effective, mask. It's not messy to use and doesn't get everywhere, which is something I appreciate, and different from my beloved clay masks. If you're keen on grabbing one for yourself, you can head to the Sephora website and click add to cart! What did you last try from Fresh?
