FRESH - A TIME TO BE PAMPERED

A beautician friend of mine once said if you are going to spend your money on any beauty treatments, spend it on facials. The importance of great daily skincare is just as important as brushing your teeth and yet sometimes I feel I don't give this area enough love!

Well let me tell you how you can give yourself some of this love and it's all free, yes FREE!

For those of you who follow me on Instagram you will know that I've had the delightful opportunity to go to the launch of the Discovery Room at John Lewis and Partners in Westgate Oxford Shopping Centre. This exciting new service offers customers the chance to experience a variety of products and get hands on with testing them in a cosy and safe environment whilst being hosted by the team there!

I returned the following week having booked myself into the Fresh skincare workshop, and I feel I got such a fabulous experience by one of Fresh's skincare experts, Hattie, I just wanted to share this with you. 

This post will take you through the products I got to try - it was a fun and entertaining hour just talking skincare... and having a glass of bubbly now how fabulous is that?!

This is Hattie and I at the end of the facial, I felt amazing, my skin was so light and dewy and even after a few hours I felt like it had just been done. And without a doubt, my skin felt fresh!

So here was the line up of all the products Hattie was going to use on me, we started with the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser followed up with the Fresh Rose Floral Toner (I love any product that contains Rosewater!)

Next up I got to try their new product Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vitamin C Glow Powder - it's a 30 second foaming facial.

I've been learning about the importance of Vitamin C, and if your watch Trinny on You Tube for her brand Trinny London - she is a massive advocate of Vitamin C products - so I was really interested to hear more about this.

Not a cream but a powder, something that I had not tried before! There are two sections which for science reasons (I'm not good on the techy stuff!) have to be kept separate and then you pour both sections into your palm, add a few drops of water and rub your hands together and it foams, once that starts you apply it to your face and leave on for 30 seconds.

I chose to purchase this product after the event, it comes in a box of twelve two-part sachets so ideal if you travel too. You can use it up to twice a week, but I am planning to use it every Sunday morning for the next twelve weeks - I paid £32 so this works out £2.67 per treatment. You can find out more about Vitamin C benefits and this product here.

Now this Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask was so cold (for the whole duration) I actually needed this back in the summer on those super hot days to keep cool. It had a luxurious texture to this mask which doesn't dry on your face which I found quite refreshing! Loved it.

Now when it came to face cream I had the choice of two, I think I opted for the lighter cream of Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Lotion but I am sure Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream is just as wonderful.

Now I'm not big on eye cream, something that quite a few friends tell me off for! I own some, but I just seem to forget about it in my morning rush! Hattie explained all the lovely benefits and I promise to try harder in the future!

And then we finished off which something I was not expecting! A little mini facial on my lips - and boy did they need that! My lips are quite dry and so we started with a few drops of Fresh Sugar Lip Wonder Drops and followed it up with the Fresh Sugar Coral Tinted Lip Balm.  I was given a Fresh Sugar Lip Caramel Hydrating Balm sample so I will be continuing this good work!
