Brazened Honey

A powerhouse of effective ingredients

Brazened Honey was inspired by traditional Indian ayurvedic principles, which put emphasis on balance as the foundation to health. Helen combined fresh free-range eggs and honey to soften, with astringent lime oil, antiseptic rosemary and exfoliating ground almonds. Kaolin reaches deep down into pores to pull out dirt and impurities, leaving your skin noticeably brighter and fresher. Our deepest cleansing mask, Brazened Honey is the perfect way to revive sluggish or congested skin.

Features

  • Banish dirt and excess oil: Ideal for those with combination to oily skin, or those who want a deep cleansing mask.
  • Can you handle it? Brazened Honey is very stimulating, so if you’re quite sensitive, we recommend navigating towards Catastrophe Cosmetic or Oatifix instead!
  • Deep clean for your skin: We use ginger root extract in Brazened Honey to help the body eliminate toxins from the skin.

How to use

Cleanse your face and pat dry. Smooth a good dollop of Fresh Face Mask over your entire face, making sure to avoid the eyes and mouth. Leave the mask on for about ten minutes (do not let the mask dry completely). Now is a good time to read the latest LUSH Times…And finally, wash off with warm water and follow with your favorite toner and moisturizer.

    I love this product and it was my first Lush Fresh Face Mask.

    Here's how I use it:

    -I first wash my face with my favorite Lush Cleanser.

    -Pat my face dry & then I run to the fridge to get my fresh face mask (you don't have to run, I run because of excitement when doing my mini spa like treatment)

    -I apply an even layer all over my face and let it dry for about 7 minutes.

    -I rinse it off with warm water and pat my face dry

    I've been able to go 3 straight days using this mask and it has not been harsh, drying or anything on my skin. Granted everyone's skin is different.

    I have combination skin (oily t-zone and sometimes dry in some areas like the cheeks and nose creases) and I love the results. My skin is glowing, smooth, and over time it's helped diminish some recent acne scars I had. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mask and knowing the ingredients are fresh and getting rid of the impurities in my skin, make me feel more confident about using this product and many other lush products.

    First thing I noticed was this mask BURNS! My skin immediately was burning but I thought that was typical. A lot of face products sting a little. I ignored it and kept it on. My skin felt nice after I washed it off.... however today my skin is covered in bumps! Not red or anything, my normal color but bump? I do not have acne so this is frustrating. I look like I am going through puberty all over again! Blah!!!!

      Comments about Brazened Honey fresh face mask:

      This one of my sister and I's favorite face masks! my skin is super dry and sensitive, so it's hard for me to find an effective mask. I thought I would try this one after a lady at lush helped me and I'm so glad I purchased this!
      It's smells pleasant, kind of like a combination of herbs, but I like it! It also moisturizers my face so well and I can really feel it cleaning deep into my skin, which is great :)
      the only downside is that I can never use up the whole container because the masks expire quickly, but it's still worth it!

      Comments about Brazened Honey fresh face mask:

      The first time I tried this mask, I thought it was okay, but nothing special. I had to use quite a bit, because it was so thick, and I had trouble getting an even layer over my face. I liked the scrubby feeling when I rinsed it off, but other than that, I wasn't super-impressed. I hypothesized that the problem might have been that the mask was too thick, and that it actually dried too fast on my skin. So the second time I used it, I added a little filtered water to the pot and mixed it in with a spoon (not unlike my "work-around" for Aqua Marina, which is described in the review I wrote for that product) before I put it on. I was totally shocked at how much that helped - the mask spread easily, and I could feel the warm tingling the saleslady had described. When I scrubbed it off, my skin looked amazing and felt like silk. I have to admit that I did get a few more pimples the next day, but I know that that is normal with something that cleanses deeply, and I fully anticipate that that will fade away with regular use (and the pimples themselves faded MUCH faster than they normally would). Therefore, this is a product I will be using regularly for the foreseeable future. I should also note that I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin, which made me a bit nervous about using something this "aggressive", but my skin had no problems with it (which reinforces my opinion that my sensitivity is caused by artificial ingredients).

I have heard of this particular mix from my Indian friends because if is such an age old effective remedy to get clear skin. I'd say if your skin is dull, uneven, or ur suffering from a break out, definitely try it.

        Comments about Brazened Honey fresh face mask:

        After being persuaded into buying a slew of other things and it seemed like I had all there was to have in my basket, myself and the woman at Lush were left standing in front of this little fridge with a glass door. Inside were these little containers. They were masks! She asked what sort of mask I was looking for, I wanted something that would really get down to the nitty gritty, get that dirt, clean out the unwanted stuff, but also leave my skin smooth and fresh. Brazened Honey was the pick! She recommended using it twice a week and that one of the little containers should last about a month or so if you are using enough of the mask for it to do its job. It does tingle, slightly burn, but only for a few moments and then ceases. The smell is reminiscent of being in a spice shop, but coated in sweetness, which is the honey. I really enjoy this mask and always follow it up with a toner and moisturizer since it does dry out, but minimally. Definitely give this a try if your skin is strong and doesn't dry out easily. Be SURE to keep it refrigerated!

          I have the most sensitive and picky skin in the world. My face freaks out over everything but needs to be exfoliated constantly or I break out. Enter: Brazen Honey.

          I use it 2-3 times a week before bed (or occasionally in the morning, although it is rare I have 10 minutes to sit around with a face mask on before work) and it has seriously calmed my skin down so much. No more break outs and my eczema flare-ups have stopped.

          I am also convinced removing this mask is a mini-manicure.

          Great Mask!

                Comments about Brazened Honey fresh face mask:

                I was recommended Brazened Honey by one of my local Lush clerks. Looking at all the different masks, I had NO IDEA which one to choose and I'm glad I got some help.

                This little pot has helped me so much! Be warned though...the first time I used it I did have a couple of breakouts. But I think that's just because it did it's job and pulled a bunch of junk out of my skin. I've used it twice so far and plan on using it every 2-3 days.

                After the first use I could tell a huge difference in the brightness of my skin. I have dark spots around my mouth/chin area and it did help. As mentioned, I did have a couple of cystic acne spots come up after I used it. Two days later I decided to try it again and it completely dried up both blemishes! I couldn't believe it!

                This mask is a little strong, so pay attention to how your face feels while it's on. If it gets too intense take it off early.

                Comments about Brazened Honey fresh face mask:

                My first time trying this mask was when I took a trip to my local LUSH shop some months ago. I was completely clueless about face masks. The salesperson offered me a free sample, and recommended a few in particular when I mentioned that my face is on the oily side. Brazened Honey stood out to me instantly, and so I went home with my sample and gave it a try.

                I was warned that it could feel a bit too intense, but I love the way it tingles on my face, as well as the nice pollen-like scent. When I remove it, my skin feels clean and smooth in a way that no other product seems to manage (and that's saying something - I love my LUSH soaps and Ocean Salt for a reason!). My only complaint would be that it's a bit hard to spread over the skin, but it's a minor inconvenience.

                        The first mask I used from Lush and now one of my favorites. I can literally feel it going to work on my face as it cleanses and cleans. It removed the toxins and refreshed my face. The only slightly negative thing is that it is a pretty solid substance for something that you are supposed to spread; I definitely wet my face and fingers before application to loosen it up for easier application.

It's almost like clumpy when you apply on your face but looks & feel smooth in the container [unlike Love Lettuce which was great for application but the smell annoyed me]. Thats the ONLY issue i have with it other than that it really is a great product & I will purchase it again

                                  I seriously love this mask! I am 16 with combo skin and this just balances my skin and makes it feel incredibly clean! I have repurchased this probably 6 times already! I love the fact that you can feel it working. If you don't like tingling products this might not be for you, but if you want a crazy deep clean I highly recommend this mask!

                                  I adore this mask. This was one of the first Lush products I ever used, and it made my dry-or-oily skin completely balanced out, soft, and wonderful. This will always be a staple of my regime when my face starts getting out of whack, or even when it's fine and i want to pamper my face skin.

                                        Oh what a stinky stinky smell. It's not unbearable, but it sure is not a good one. Scent aside, this mask is magic. That little tub gave me almost 15 separate uses, so in my opinion it's a great value. It made my skin silky, tight and surprisingly supple. I have extremely sensitive skin, and this mask definitely burnt a little-- But I had no adverse reaction such as bumps, rash, or flushing. The mask is good quality, good value and the only thing negative I have to say is that it's quite stinky!

                                          After my second application (one jar has 4-6 applications), this face mask brought all the dirt from one of my uber clogged pores to the surface of the skin. I scratched at the dirt and the entire pore was cleared out. Left my face feeling clean but not dry.

                                          Also, I applied this to my face after experiencing an allergic reaction to my kitty. I had little hives on my jawline that cleared right up after I used this. It was a nice, cooling sensation that stopped the itching.

                                          i use this every other day and i absolutely love it. it makes my skin super soft. i use it while i am taking my nightly shower and after it dries, i wet my fingers and use the little almond particles as an exfoliator. the only cons are that it is pricey and expires in about 3 weeks, so you have it use it quickly. i don't see it being in my refrigerator for more than 3 weeks anyway. i love it so much and will definitely be repurchasing .

                                          Bought this mask on the recommendation of the saleswoman and after reading multiple reviews online. I tried it tonight and it immediately left my skin super soft and exfoliated. I haven't been able to get this level of softness in weeks using exfoliating cleansers. This mask was super effective at cleaning and exfoliating my skin but wasn't too harsh. It's easy to use and smells good too. And it didn't even leave my skin feeling dry afterwards, as other masks usually do. My (combination) skin feels clean, soft, and moisturized. Thank you! My only complaint is that this mask expires fairly quickly (3 weeks from the day it was made). However, I'm willing to deal with that given that it is well made, effective, and natural.

                                            Out of all of the face masks and treatments that I have used (including from other brands), LUSH's Brazened Honey is probably THE most effective one.

                                            I have been using it for a little over a month now and I just started on my second pot. My skin is now so much clearer and smoother than before.

                                            I usually use it night (maybe every other day or a little less often) and all I do is remove my makeup with Ultrabland, cleanse with Dark Angels, and then, while my face is still wet after rinsing off the cleanser, apply this mask evenly all over my face. I usually leave it on for between 8-12 minutes, then rinse, tone, and moisturize with Celestial. Then I just go to sleep and wake up with new and improved skin that is smooth and clear. Even my fiance knows when I've used "the honey one" because it really does make such a noticeable difference.

                                            I will definitely continue to buy this :)

                                              This mask is amazing and smells fabulous! I have combination skin and my skin typically changes with the weather here in the midwest, oily in the summer and dry in the winter. This mask clears up black heads very fast too.
                                              Again, the smell. I wish Lush had more products in this scent *Lush, hint, hint ;)*
                                              Also I am sure Lush wouldn't advise this but since the mask is long lasting and the expiration date on these is short,I have found out in my experience that they last a lot longer than their expiration dates.
                                              Again, the smell.. :)

                                                  No, we strongly advise against using any of our products after their expiry date. The fresh face masks do not contain any preservatives, and thus they can grow bacteria, fungi, or yeast after the expiry date which would not be safe to have on your skin. It's better to discard any that's left after the expiry, and buy a lovely fresh pot. Your skin will thank you!

                                                  It really depends on your skin type. The Brazened honey is really stimulating, so if you have sensitive skin, you might want to only do it 1-2 times a week at most.

                                                  All our fresh face masks are designed to be used 1 - 3 times a week, depending on your skins needs. As only you know your skin the best its a personal decision as to what feels best, but I would not recommend more than this as the face masks are designed as facial treatments not for daily use.
