Review: Sexylook Intensive Repairing Black Cotton Mask

[Disclaimer: This mask was sent to me for review purposes. However, all opinions are of my own and not purposely written more positive/more negative because the product was sent to me.]

I was quite excited to review the Sexylook Intensive Repairing Black Cotton Mask simply because I was wondering what the hype was all about! I really wanted to see for myself if this mask was as good as it sounds. 

My one sentence verdict - this queer black mask actually works wonders, even on troubled skin like mine! 



The Sexylook Intensive Repairing Black Cotton Mask contains these main ingredients:

  • Activated Carbon - great for healing and purifying
  • Rock Rose Extract - can alleviate acne and prevent bacteria/pollutants entering the cells
  • Obsidian Extract - provides key anti-aging minerals to smooth and rejuvenate the skin
Anything that contains acne-fighting and anti-aging properties already wins me over! :D 



The mask also promises to:
  • adsorb dirt and excessive sebum
  • gives skin continuous nutrient boost
  • rehydrate and repair skin
  • promotes skin regeneration and mineralisation for healthier and more moisturised skin



I think I have mentioned umpteen times before that I appreciate how masks now have both the manufacturing date and expiry date printed on the packaging. It's good as a reminder for busy women (and men)! You certainly do not want to be applying expired masks on your delicate skin! 


The mask is completely black. I'm highly intrigued to put this on just because of the unconventional colour! 



Mask material: It's a very pleasant surprise to find a mask that fits my facial contours so perfectly. It fit so well, there was no bubbles of air after I applied it on my face (as seen from photos above)! It's as if I took some cotton cloth, soaked it with some goodness and put it on my face. This is some high quality mask! 

Fragrance: This mask is accompanied with a really milk floral fragrance. For a person who gets migraines from strong odours, I was highly relieved. 

Hydration: As with almost all masks, they are all loaded with hydrating minerals, and so this mask is no exception. Excellent hydration! 

Suitable for troubled skin? Definitely! I'm taking medication for acne control at the moment, and also applying really strong anti-acne creams on my face due to a really bad acne breakout. As a result, my face is now highly dry and sensitive. I was quite apprehensive of this mask initially, but I was glad I tried it! The liquid goodness was soaked into my skin quickly and my skin felt hydrated immediately. Also, after I applied it, I felt a tingling sensation on my skin, which hopefully meant the mask was working right? After I removed the mask, my face was obviously more fresh and the dry patches were gone. The effects were long-lasting too; my skin was still hydrated even till the morning after! Amazing hydration for troubled skin, especially for people who are on acne-medication! 

And no, I didn't have any breakouts from this mask. SCORE! :) 

Did the mask deliver what it promised? I will certainly have to try this mask out for a longer period of time before confirming its claims, but after one trial, I love it already because of how appropriately hydrating it is on my troubled skin! I'm now very inclined to purchase more to see further results on my skin!
