Are you looking to restore moisture to your skin without adding oil or heavy textures? Fresh has just what you need! Using the Queen of Flowers, this lightweight lotion instantly replenishes your thirsty skin.

The Weightless Hydrating Emulsion

Hydration is at the heart of skincare, regardless of skin type. Your skin receives instant and long-lasting moisture in this fluid version of the rose-deep hydrating range. Created to fit oily and combo skin needs, it deeply hydrates the skin while smoothing the texture & reduces pores. The emulsion is a non-comedogenic formula quickly absorbed, making it perfect for use before makeup.

What's Inside?

Below are the key ingredients in Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Balancing Emulsion:

• Damask rose extract: This natural source of hydration is proven to boost our skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid. This results in a better moisture level.
• Yarrow extract: Sourced from Eastern Europe, it helps to smooth and refine the skin's texture.
• Rose flower oil: Distilled from the rosebud, this oil helps to hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin.
• Lastly, Hyaluronic acid: In this formula, the brand has selected a lower molecular weight, allowing the active to penetrate deeper into the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold upto 1000x its weight in water and is used to achieve youthful and plump skin.

My Experience

Having combination skin can be a headache sometimes. That was until I tried this hydrating emulsion. Perfectly balanced between hydrating and comforting, this lightweight moisturizer immediately gave my skin a soothed and hydrated feeling. The skin absorbs the emulsion in a couple of seconds and leaves a silky smooth canvas for makeup.

I recommend this emulsion to oilier skin types as it is light and doesn't cause any breakouts. The Rose deep hydrating emulsion would also work great as a first face cream for young women or those that want a quick and easy way to keep healthy skin. This product is also available in a cream texture for those with a drier skin type or who wish to use it as a night cream. The emulsion pairs up wonderfully with serums and smells delightful!

The key ingredient of this essence, Kombucha is fermented black tea which helps to smooth, increase luminosity, and protect against pollution and free radicals. A drink dating back to ancient times, kombucha was historically known in Asia and Russia to promote good health and longevity with its toning and detoxifying properties.  the hyaluronic acid works to attract and seal in moisture for supple skin.

I have been using this essence for over two months as I feel the need for it. while using it, I do feel it has improved my skin tone and overall look of my skin, it looks healthy and refined. I do not use it twice but mostly once a day either in the day or in the night after cleansing my face. I am pretty sure I would be fine to use it twice a day in the winters. I put few drops on the cotton pad and apply over face, neck and decollete avoiding the eye area. It feels a little sticky at first but absorbs nicely into the skin with feeling any stickiness or residue. Then I follow with my serum and moisturizer.

Vitamin Nectar Vitamin C Glow Powder is a 30-second foaming facial that instantly brightens and tightens pores with 20% vitamin C. The powder to foam treatment refines the skin's texture for a healthy, youthful glow.

I tear the folded packet to open, pour the powders into on hand, mix with one teaspoon of water to create lather. Then I massage it into the skin for 20-30 seconds and rinse. This, for me, has been a really nice boost to the skin when my skin is feeling dull or lifeless. It gives a beautiful glow and radiance to the skin. The powder to foam formula is amazing and massaging it feels nice on the skin, does not irritates the skin.

Vitamin Nectar Antioxidant Glow Water is a hydrating, fast-drying spray that delivers skin nutrition on the go with a refreshing surge of antioxidant protection for a healthy, dewy glow. The alcohol-free, ultra-fine mist is packed with nutrients to make the skin have the lit-from-within glow.

These three products have been a really nice addition to my skincare routine, I would recommend you to check these out.

I usually share about skincare products when I feel I am ready, I do not rush when it comes to skincare, because one thing might work for me and same could not work for another skin type. Being in my 30s, I feel more importance of skincare and skincare products that I am using on mine skin. Aging is a natural process, the only thing I can do for myself is to maintain what I have so that it is the better version of what I could have been at any age. Today, I am sharing few products from Fresh Beauty which I have been enjoying. I have used the Fresh Sugar Lip treatments reviewed here and also the Fresh hand creams are my favorite.

The key ingredients include Amino Acid rich soy proteins to help maintain elasticity and healthy skin, Rosewater for its calming and balancing properties, Calming cucumber extract aids in soothing the skin, Borage seed oil helps to nourish.

The first thing I noticed about this cleanser is how gentle it is and another great thing is it can be used on the gentle eye area. Many of the cleansers out there are either advised to be used anywhere but not around the gentle eye area or some might sting or irritate the eye area. This cleanser has become a skincare staple for me, it is so gentle on my eye area as well as works perfectly to clean the face without stripping it. The cleanser is gel-like, so lightweight, very easy to use and gently washes away with water. I am really impressed, no doubt why this cleanser is sold one every minute around the world. There is a limited edition version which is double the size of the full-sized version, perfect to stock up on your favorite and if you are new to the brand and the cleanser, there is the smallest size version which is good enough to use for few weeks. I am definitely a fan of this cleanser and highly recommend.

It has worked even well on the days my skin is irritated. With Indian background, I have used rose in various ways, like rose water, rose in the desserts, like all the benefits of rose and then having it all inside and outside. For my combination skin, I first thought the deep hydration will be too much, so I started using it once a day instead of twice. It does not irritate my skin and I experienced no breakouts. My skin feels soft and clear. The smell is heavenly and I notice my pore size looks better. It is a great toner which I am going to use this summer once a day and definitely twice a day during season change and in winters.
