Althea Green Tea & Rose Real Fresh Skin Detoxer

An exclusive collaboration between popular Korean TV programme Get It Beauty and Althea, the Real Fresh Skin Detoxer is a dual-purpose facial cleanser-slash-mask (cleansing mask for short) formulated with botanical extracts (such as oat, artichoke and amaranth) while steering clear of nasties (including but not limited to mineral oil, sulphates and silicones).


As a second step cleanser, I leave this skin remedy on my clean (and dry) face for 10-seconds. Then I add water, massage the resulting lather in circular motions for a bit and finally, splash it all off.

As an intensive mask, I do the exact same steps as above but I let it sit for 10-minutes. Yes, 60× more - ample time for the ingredients to work their magic and also because I refuse to let it sink down the plughole so quickly 😳

There are two variants:
◆ Green tea
6,000 ppm Jeju green tea leaves and extract help rid the skin of impurities.


◆ Rose
3,400 ppm Grasse rose petals and 1,000 ppm rose water tackle dullness and roughness.


Proceed with caution if your skin is on the dry side. Don't leave them for too long - your skin could feel parched afterwards. You want to be a juicy grape, not a raisin!

They lift my mood (love the smell!), and at the same time, give me healthier, fresher and clearer looking skin. They are such a joy to use that this time-starved urbanite reaches for them even after hitting snooze once too many. To purchase, go to my.althea.kr. Only RM 43 for a 150 ml tube!
