So I’ve been wanting to try out the fresh skincare for a while now and as my old products were running out this was the perfect opportunity to start fresh! (no pun intended) Also i’m not going to lie my skincare routine kind of went out the window during lockdown so I thought why not try out a whole new range and start over.

I purchased the "Mini Loves fresh Favourites Set” on Cult Beauty which includes 5 mini products the soy face cleanser, rose face mask, lotus youth preserve moisturiser, black tea kombucha facial treatment essence and the sugar advanced lip therapy treatment. All of these come in a cute little blue makeup bag which would be great to take with you travelling. Oh and I also got the sugar strawberry exfoliating face wash. The reason why I got the minis to start off with was because I hate when I buy full size and I don’t like the product it just goes to waste and especially with skincare I think it’s good to try it out for a couple of weeks to see how it works on my skin.

Right where do I start… first of all I am sooo impressed with the products, even just after a few days of using them I noticed my skin looking brighter and feeling smoother. Fresh is the perfect name for this skincare brand as the products have made my skin feel exactly that. I would say my top 3 favourite of the set are the strawberry exfoliator, the soy face cleanser and the lotus youth preserve moisturiser. Let me tell you why I love them so much…

The Strawberry Exfoliator: this will leave your skin feeling so fresh and clean! It has white sugar crystals which once you massage into your skin with warm water they dissolve, it doesn’t feel rough at all it is very gentle towards the skin which is great if you have sensitive skin like me. Also one thing I notice with this exfoliator is that after I used it I noticed my blackheads on my nose came to the surface and then I used my blackhead remover tool which helped squeeze them out so easily! You can use this daily however I have been using it around 3 times in the week as I don’t feel the need to use it every day.

The Soy Face Cleanser: This was one of the products from the range that I was really excited to try out as it is a best seller and have heard many great things about it. One thing I hate about some cleansers is that you wash your face after wearing makeup and there’s still loads of makeup left on my skin, howeveerrrr this cleanser really cleans the skin well and leaves my face feeling so smooth. I have quite sensitive skin and this is great because it is so gentle with no strong scents and doesn’t feel like it’s stripping the skin.

The Lotus Preserve Moisturiser: “A potent youth-preserving and ultra-hydrating moisturiser, fresh’s Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturiser not only delivers 24 hours of refreshing hydration but also imparts a gorgeous, dewy glow that makes a perfect base for make up.” and they are not lying, this product is a game changer! Every morning I would wake up with glowing skin and would stay like that throughout the day. I feel like this really improved my skin as before it was looking so dull and feeling dry but this has brightened it and added the hydration that my skin was lacking.

I did use the black tea kombucha facial treatment essence before applying the moisturiser, this is supposed to add moisture and radiance to the skin which I think did work well together however even when I used the lotus moisturiser alone my skin was luminous so I think I would just stick to the moisturiser as personally I like quite a basic skincare routine. Also I did use the sugar lip treatment a few times however I wouldn’t rush to buy it full size as I am a Carmex girl and didn’t feel like it did anything too different to that. Lastly, I haven’t noticed much difference using the rose face mask but might need to try this out a few more times to decide if I’m a fan or not. One thing I would say about it that is not a big deal at all and might sound strange is I don’t love that it doesn’t dry, it stays to it’s gel texture which I didn’t find comfortable (I know that’s just me being extra lol.)

Sooo would I recommend the fresh skincare? YES YES YES! Like I said before I’m definitely re-purchasing the cleanser, moisturiser and exfoliator and look forward to trying out more from the brand. :)
