Fresh's Black Tea Collection
While browsing the Fresh store the other day, I noticed this fabulous-looking woman racking up over $1,000 in products-she had the most amazing skin. I was fully gawking.
Obviously, I needed to know what she was buying. Turns out she was addicted to the line's Black Tea Collection, which consists of Black Tea Age-Delay Cream and the Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask. I had to have both.
The Black Tea Age-Delay Cream. It has the consistency of butter, but not the greasiness. The formula's namesake ingredient is said to refine skin's texture, and considering that spend-aholic woman was decades older than me and had near baby's cheeks, I'd believe it.
Fresh's co-founder, Lev Glazman, told me he likes to use the cream as an under-eye balm, and I can see why-its texture is ridiculously cushy and protective.
The Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask. It has the feel of whipped potatoes, but thankfully, it smells like cucumber.
What I love is that it's so not a big deal to apply. Unlike other masks, this is actually a pleasure, since it's so comfortable and tidy-it rinses off in seconds, and leaves your skin feeling and looking supple and illuminated all day long.
If I keep up my regimen, I hope my skin will look half as good at 30 as that woman did at 60.
