Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask| Review

The minute you touch your 30’s, you begin to realise the importance of a good, consistent skincare routine! I’m in my early 30’s and I can already see signs of ageing – fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and the works… so the minute I spotted the words YOUTH and RESCUE on the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask, I knew I had to try it out

Let’s jump right in – Fresh says that this product is an ‘instant radiance-revealing facial in a jar that targets dull, rough, and uneven skin for a smoother, brighter complexion’.

This so called ‘5 minute’ facial targets tired, dull looking skin and helps you get that radiant, hydrated, smooth, dewy skin that we’re all after!

I have the 15ml dinky little version of the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask that I got in a trio set and I adore the packaging. The mask is housed in a frosted glass jar with a simple white twist lid. The texture is really creamy and rich, which means it spreads like a dream. Some of the noteworthy ingredients here are flakes of kombu seaweed, lotus seeds and red algae particles which all help to buff the skin gently and smooth out any texture. The Super 7 Complex helps to deeply hydrate the skin and give it that dewy appearance. This is basically a blend of 7 botanical extracts – cucumber, lemon, fig, lotus, sea fennel, okra and starfruit. The mask also contains sea fennel extracts that help to smooth out any rough or dry skin and give the skin a healthy suppleness.

The minute I opened the jar I could smell the freshness of cucumbers and it was instant love! The texture is very lightweight and I quite like the slight gritty texture because it works wonders to gently buff away dry patches on the skin.

I like to use this mask once a week and apply a generous amount on cleansed skin in circular motions. I then let it sit and do its magic for about 5 minutes before I rub it into my skin gently. I’d like to mention here that I do feel very slight tingling on the skin after applying the mask, but I guess that’s just the ingredients working their magic! To remove the mask, simply use a damn cloth or sponge or wash away the mask with lukewarm water.

Here’s the full list of ingredients for you:

I know the words ‘instant results’ is so cliché , but trust me, my skin feels like BUTTER afterwards…every single time after I use the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask.

I have acne prone, sensitive skin and this has never irritated my skin or broken me out. So I would HIGHLY recommend this to everyone who’s in the market for a mask that can multitask – brighten, smooth and hydrate the skin!
