What it does:
The Truth is we all need protection from aging.
The vital anti-oxidant action of wheatgrass, ginseng and green tea, enzymic fresh papaya, cleansing clays and nutritious butters, all combine to defend the skin. This mask delivers live, fresh, active ingredients, which enhance and revive the complexion.

Pros:
- leaves my face feeling refreshed
- not drying
- the smell is not strong, especially compared to other Lush products
Cons:
- this really didn't do much for me
I wish I could write something better about this! I had such high hopes for it!!! It wasn't bad, but really didn't do anything for me!!
I bought the full size of this one instead of the Brazen Honey on the advice of one of the SAs! I really wish I had bought the full size of the Brazen Honey mask instead!

Prolonging the Shelf Life of Lush's Fresh Face Masks
According to the Lush website, their Fresh Face masks need to be used up within 3 weeks. At the Lush store in Japan, the SA told me to use it up within 1 week after opening! I understand that the Fresh Face Masks don't contain preservatives and will go bad, but I can't use them up so quickly!
So, what do I do?? I put them in small containers and freeze them!
This is a 15 g jar, which will probably give me 2-3 uses! This way, I can defrost and use the mask up a little at a time!
So, what do I do?? I put them in small containers and freeze them!
- Don't freeze the original container, and repeatedly freeze/defrost it.
- Use up what you defrost
- Be careful of freezer odors
- This is just my opinion, so do it on your own risk!

i used to know a facial lady who put all her beauty pdts and mask included into a fridge. she said it keeps the ingredients fresh. I love the strong smell in Lush pdts, smells heavenly to me :)
