Cupcake Face Mask

The Cupcake face mask is for 'teenage skin': skin that is greasy and suffers from breakouts and it was this that attracted me to the face mask in the first place, two years ago.

I'm 20 and my skin is naturally oily/greasy skin - which isn't great - but for the past month, I have been using the Cupcake face mask about twice a week. During the past month, my skin has been feeling a lot smoother, it isn't as greasy and my spots have been fading much quicker.

After I've exfoliated my face using the Ocean Salt face and body scrub, I smooth Cupcake over my face, I leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off using warm water. It leaves my face feeling fresh and yummy! 

If you don't like chocolate scented products, then this face mask is definitely not for you. The smell of the face mask lingers on your skin for about three hours which is brilliant because after I wash this off, I keep going round and asking people to smell my face *weird, I know* because I love the fact my face smells of delicious chocolate.

With Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and cocoa butter, this not only makes your face smell divine but the cocoa butter also acts as a moisturiser. The talc in this face mask absorbs the grease that's on your skin and the talc - alongside the cocoa butter - makes your face feel silky smooth. 

Rhassoul mud is a main part of this face mask and is a very key ingredient. It has been used by Moroccan women for more than 12 centuries to help their skin and hair. Rhassoul mud is used in this face mask to cleanse the skin and - with the talc - removes the grease from your skin and draws out any dirt that's left in your pores; by the mud doing this, it also prevents further breakouts; it also reduces the appearance of your skin looking shiny.

Cupcake has small chunks of cocoa butter in which might make the face mask look slightly unsavoury but, the chunks don't get in the way at all and they just stick on your face along with the rest of the face mask - you don't even notice that they're there.

Fresh mint, spearmint oil and peppermint oil are also in this face mask but to me, they are hardly detectable. I thought there would be a more dominant minty smell, but there isn't; it's very very slight.

Overall, this is one of my favourite face masks to use along with Love Lettuce and Cosmetic Warrior. It smells amazing, feels amazing and actually makes my skin look less greasy and from what I've seen so far, it's helped my spots fade quicker. (Bear in mind though that I don't wear a lot of make-up. I only wear just mascara every day and maybe once a week do I wear foundation.)

Cupcake face mask has been a key product in my collection of skin care for the past two years and for as long as I have my naturally greasy skin is how long I will use this face mask. It's absolutely brilliant.
