My Rating: 5/5
How Long Have I Used the Product? 1 Month
Savor Beauty is one of my top favorite organic skincare brands. I have only used three of their products, but that has been enough to make me a fan. Savor makes their skincare in small batches, so they are always fresh. They use top quality organic ingredients that work. Living up to their motto “Natural Beauty That Works”
This honey mask works best for skin types needing detoxification, exfoliation and cell regeneration. Great for irritated, sensitive and aging skin. The ingredients in this mask are very nourishing, and will reveal soft and radiant skin.

About The Brand
“Award-winning organic skincare meets Korean Beauty Rituals... in a New York Minute.”
Savor Beauty is a fast-growing organic skincare line that is building its reputation on its unique Korean inspired skincare regime. The idea is to layer your skincare, although the Korean method is far more time consuming, Savor Beauty has broken down this effective system into a 1 minute beauty routine.
“I wanted to incorporate the Korean beauty rituals that I grew up with. But as a busy mom and wife living the gorgeous chaos of New York City, I wanted flawless skin in a New York minute. And it must be organic and it must work” Angela Jai Kin, Founder.
The Savor Beauty line is made with organic, ingredients, and never harmful or synthetic additives such as petrochemicals, parabens, pthalates or sodium lauryl sulfates.
How to layer with Savor Beauty Products
The whole idea of Savor Beauty is to layer your products. Designed for the eco-chic, multi-tasking woman who wants to get gorgeous (and be green) in less than 1 minute. The bottles all have numbers. All you need to do is go through the number sequence. Or, follow these steps. Step 1: PURIFY, Step 2: HYDRATE, Step 3: REPAIR.
My Review
I have used three products by Savor Beauty; They are Rose Toning Mist, Raspberry Serum, and Manuka Honey Mask. In this article, I will be featuring Savor Beauty’s Manuka Honey Mask.
My First Impression of the Product
Right away I noticed the lovely dark glass jar, and as I opened it, the scent took over. A beautifully sweet and fresh scent. Beyond the pleasant aroma, I was thrilled that this product was a honey mask. I have wanted to try a honey mask for a while now because I know how amazing the benefits of honey are for the skin.
Scent and Texture
The scent is sweet and fresh.
Application
I was a little apprehensive about the idea of putting honey on my face, mostly because I was concerned about a sticky mess. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case at all. The application is totally controllable, even with a slight giddiness it spreads easily.
This Mask melts on the skin quickly after use. It's recommended that you apply a warm face cloth over the face after application, this will melt the nourishing ingredients deep into the skin.
Manuka honey melts on contact, the aplication is wonderful, and very controlable.
Ingredients
Mel (Manuka Honey). Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil* (and) Extracts of Centaurea Cyanus (Cornflower) Flower*, Urtica Dioica (Nettle)*, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit*, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf*, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit*, Symphytum Officinale (Comfrey) Leaf*, Foeniculum Vulgar (Fennel) Fruit*, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower*.*Certified Organic
Beneficial Ingredients:
Manuka Honey with organic extracts encourages cell regeneration, revealing soft and radiant skin. All the rage in the beauty industry, Manuka Honey is known for its powerful healing and detox qualities. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients.
Manuka Honey: Honey is our star ingredient, with many benefits. As a well-known antibacterial, honey has been used in skin care for centuries to help treat wounds and speed healing.
Honey is a very effective antibiotic for the skin. Hydrogen peroxide is a component of honey. It gives most honey its antibiotic quality. Anti-biotic qualities in skincare will help draw impurities from the skin. Honey is also high in antioxidants, helping with cell turnover.
Papaya: Papaya enzymes gently digest dull skin cells to brighten skin. It acts as a detoxifying exfoliant.
Apricot: Apricot contains high amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. These Vitamins are great at rehydrating the skin and fighting free radicals that damage the skin leading to wrinkles and fine lines.
Comfrey: Comfrey is very moisturizing for the skin, helping smooth and hydrate the tissues. Since it possesses astringent properties, it works as an excellent skin cleanser.
Product Info
Price and Size:
$64 USD for 2 oz/57 grams
Who is This Product For:
Ideal for all skin types, works well on sensitive and irritated skin types.
How Well Does it Work?
This mask works fantastic. The skin is beyond soft and hydrated after application. When you use a warm face cloth, it becomes therapeutic for the mind and the skin. Deeply relaxing, like a day at the spa.
How Long Will it Last? What is the Shelf Life?
What's great about masks is they last a long time because you will only need to use it 2-3 times per week. Because this is a detoxifying, exfoliating mask, it is best to use it no more that 3 days a week. This mask should last you 8-10 months.
The shelf life of fresh, handmade organic products is 10-12 months. Honey is a natural preservative and can last years, but since this includes other perishable ingredient's I recommend using it within 10 months of purchase.
Final Thoughts
Savor Beauty’s Manuka Mask is a well thought out blend. Honey is a powerful ingredient which will detoxify the skin, pulling out impurities, while also healing and fighting bacteria. The combination of all the ingredients work well together, soothing irritated skin and feeding your complexion anti-aging ingredients.
After a 10 minute treatment with this mask, and a hot towel draped over the face, your skin comes out glowing and silky smooth.

Im looking to try this skin care line….i have very sensitive combination skin…..and my cheeks are the most sensitive…hoping my skin will like the honey mask and not react to it…my skin is looking so dull lately….plus ive been trying to find a organic skin line that my skin can tolerate….ive been using dermalogica for years….only to just learn about some of the chemicals they use in their products!?
Hi Elizabeth, have you tried Pai Skincare? They specialize in natural skin care for sensitive skin. Dull skin can be helped by using chemical exfoliates. Glycolic acid can be great, but you need to start slow so that your skin can get used to it. Fruit enzymes are a gentle way to exfoliate and get your glowing skin back. Have a look at our sensitive skin page for more info on how to properly care for your skin.
