Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask

I have heard a lot about the Lush face masks from watching you-tube videos and reading blog posts, but I am always put off buying them because I am afraid of breaking out. I always find it quite difficult to get one for oily skin that is affordable. This mask is priced at £6.25 which I think is a very reasonable price. I got chatting to one of the lovely ladies who worked in the Lush shop that I went into and I was explaining that i had very oily skin in the summer time, and she recommended this one too me.

Lush say 'Chocolate heaven for oily and teenage skin. Helps absorb excess oil and calm breakouts. Cocoa butter, linseed and cocoa powder soften with balancing peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood oils' 

Immediately I was sold as anything that will help to get rid of excess oil of my face is a winner. This has to be kept in the fridge as it keeps it fresh and is more likely to work better on the skin. It has a very thick brown formula and smells delightful. The first time I face mask I could see a difference in my skin, which is quite unusual for me as it can take me a while to get use to a product. Once I had rinsed it off my face with warm water my face didn't look at all shiny or oily and felt so smooth it really amazed me. It was quite difficult to take off and dried very hard, but I suppose all face masks are like that, and its better than them slipping down your face. You can feel quite a tightening sensation on the skin which I suppose is a toning affect which I liked.

Cupcake is honestly amazing for Oily skin and has really helps to control my oiliness throughout those hot and sweaty days. I don't always use this all over my face because I only really get oily in my t-zone. There is one downside to this product which is that it can go off after about 3-4 weeks so you have to remember to use it up, but I don't really mind too much as it wasn't overly expensive. I haven't really noticed a massive difference in my breakouts being reduced but it definitely does dry them up slightly. I love how face masks are messy and can be so much fun to put on either by yourself or even with friends.
