Lush Brazened Honey Fresh Face Mask Review

Lush Haul 7/20
I've been dying to try this one! Brazened Honey is another one of Lush's amazing "fresh face masks", made from fresh perishable ingredients. This mask includes free-range eggs, lime oil, kaolin clay, honey (of course), and ground almonds for exfoliation. Theres also a handful of spices throw in to warm the skin- sage, juniper, rosemary, parsley, turmeric, and fennel. These ingredients make for an amazing combo, and not to be completely repetitive and annoying, but this ones my new favorite! (until I find another new favorite).


What It Does:
Brazened Honey has been the best mask for my skin thus far- mainly because of its oil pulling properties. This mask literally sucks the oil out of my skin. My problem area is my T-zone, and this mask has cleared up that area after three uses. The clay in this product plays a huge part in sucking up oil, but another huge factor the the success of clearing up skin is Brazened Honey's exfoliating properties. The exfoliation I receive while massaging this mask into my skin creates a deep cleanse, leaving my skin so smooth and oil-free.

How To Use It:
Scoop your needed amount out and massage into your skin-spreading out all over your face. The consistency of this mask is not as thick as Cupcake or Cosmetic Warrior, which makes it easier to spread out/ massage in. You can create a thick layer over your face, or a very thin one. To make the mask thinner wet your face first to make it easier to spread, or mix a scoop of Brazened Honey with water in your hands before applying. I don't add water before applying ( I like my masks thick) , but if I'm spreading it out and I feel its not spreading easily enough I just splash some water in the desired area of my face and smooth out the mask. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse off.

Tips & Tricks:
Massage, massage, MASSAGE. Really rub this into your skin, it will feel great and give you a deeper cleanse. I love clay masks, which was one thing that drew me to this product, but if you normally have dry or sensitive skin the clay might be too harsh for you. Don't worry- you can still do this mask if you have skin thats more on the dry or sensitive side, but I recommend applying a moisturizer on your face, like Full Of Grace, before putting on Brazened Honey. You can use this technique for any mask if you feel your skin is too dry/sensitive to handle a mask on it's own. As with all fresh face masks- REFRIGERATE! *All Face Masks are $6.95 US*
