Garden of Wisdom's Not Tonight Honey Mask
Experience a fresh, glowing complexion with this uniquely gentle cleansing mask, perfect for sensitive skin. Formulated without soap or harsh surfactants, it features a skin-loving blend of fermented wildflower honey, lactic acid, and coconut vinegar to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize in one simple step. Natural humectants like honey powder and glycerin draw moisture into the skin, while lactic acid and aspen bark extract provide a soft, non-irritating exfoliation that refines texture and calms inflammation. Coconut vinegar helps balance skin’s pH and tighten pores, making this mask an ideal weekly reset for those seeking a clean, dewy finish without the risk of dryness or irritation. Give your skin the gentle care it deserves.

Method of Application
Dispense about a dime to nickel size amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand, drip warm/hot water into your palm then rub hands together to emulsify. Pat into skin, wipe off gently with a wet, warm cotton or bamboo clean washcloth.
*Do not massage into your skin. Only cleanse in the A.M. if necessary.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients

Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible 

Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.

Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark

Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator.
Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.    

Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt

Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place.   
Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated.
Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove
what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years.
Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location.
Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years.
They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place.
Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Feels Awesome and Works

I ordered a sample, but it was enough for about 4 applications! It is thick gel in the jar, and it applies very easy and mess-free. It makes my skin feel soft and nourished after; I leave it on for about 10 minutes. Overall, I think it's a nice mask and worth trying out if you want more moisture and pampering.

Thank you so much! This doesn't get reviewed often, so we appreciate it :)

Gentle, yet effective

"Gentle, yet effective" is the most desirable review of a skincare product for me. I never thought that I had sensitive skin, but after (perhaps, who really knows) over using something my chin became a nightmare, and I totally had to stop all actives. After lots of time with only soothing, calming things (wash, moisturize) I was finally able to use azelaic acid (thank you GOW) and now I'm getting to branch out a bit. I love GoW Not Tonight Honey Mask. It truly is gentle, but it works! So far I've only been using 1-2 times per month, as I don't need a LOT of exfoliation. My skin looks brighter, and healthier when I'm done. I reach for it on evenings when my skin is looking a little dull. The small container is worth the price just to test it out if you're exploring gentle exfoliants! It does take a little bit of self control not to massage it in, but I just remind myself to pat it on before removing with a warm, wet cloth.

We're so glad this is working so well for you! Thank you for this review :)
