If you have been following the blog for some time, you are well aware that I am not really a fan of sheet mask as I still think wash off mask is more convenient for me. The funny thing is most people told me the opposite :). I think the main reason on why I would prefer wash off mask is because I usually apply mask at night while I blog. Sheet mask will slide down my face slowly and I’m very afraid that this will drag all my skin down on prolong usage. But that’s just a personal preference. Everyone is different in a way

When I was asked on which tube of Freeman mask that I would like to bring home to use, I don’t even have to think twice and pointed at Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask.

Although Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask looks like some kind of mask that are suitable for combination to oily skin, this mask is actually meant for all skin type. This is a unique mask AND scrub that works double the time to purify, detox and exfoliate the skin.

The tube is huge for 150ml of content! I’m sure you won’t miss this at the local drugstore. The tube itself is kinda soft. At the moment I don’t have any issue with squeezing and dispensing the content out as the content in it is still full but since this mask contain actual black sugar, the sugar bits is stuck at the dispense hole so the cap won’t closed properly. Each time after using this mask I would need to wipe off the leftover from the dispensing hole in order to close the cap properly.

There is no prize in guessing what the Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask looks like. It’s really a no brainer even for someone who is new to the mask because the mask is exactly as what was written on the tube. It is black in color (duhh!), contain actual black sugar bits which means you can feel the sugar itself.

You would think the mask will be dry and harsh since there’s sugar bits in it right? Well not really. I’m quite pleased to see that the mask is moist when I squeeze the content out. Once I spread the mask evenly, somehow the black sugar emulsified and turns watery a bit as if the sugar melted off. It’s actually the Lavender Oil ingredient in it. The scent is amazing. I’m not able to put in words on what my nose was picking but it does smells gooooddddd, and sweet too. I definitely can smell the sweet sugary scent from the black sugar.

My mum will laugh her head off everytime I had this mask on. She said I looked hideous. I don’t think I am but after looking at the “During” picture which I took earlier, my God my mum was so right! LOL!

I can feel the heat from Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Mask even when it’s in contact with my finger before application. The heat is even more obvious as I was spreading the mask onto my face. Let me warn you that applying this mask onto the face takes a lot of time and patience. It’s not the easiest mask to be spread in the world. Everything will just clump and fell off from the face to the ground. The trick is not less is more but more is better. What I do is I will squeeze more product onto a few fingers and spread. Repeat until the whole face except for the eyes are covered. You will definitely feel the heat and slight burning sensation on the face. It doesn’t turn from bad to worse so it’s pretty acceptable. Just a slight discomfort. Leave the mask on for 5 to 7 minutes before gently massaging all over the face for 1 to 2 minutes as exfoliator and rinse with warm water. I can already feel that my face is 200% more smoother and softer as I was rinsing my face.

The Activated Charcoal ingredient in the mask helps to absorb oil and impurities without over-drying the skin surface while Black Sugar helps in exfoliating all the dull skin cells so the skin will be softer and more clarity.

I have a confession. My face in the “After” picture was suppose to be brighter but I was not satisfied with the angle and stuff so by the time I have gotten my shot, my face return slightly back to normal LOL. But anyhow you can still see the brightness

I haven’t been using the mask diligently to tell you this works like a miracle. To be honest this mask is just a purifying and exfoliating mask to me so I wasn’t expecting anything drastic. But one thing for sure is that I certainly have lesser skin congestion problem and my skin is oh-so-smooth after using. Remember not to over use this mask. It is only recommended to use two times a week or maybe three times? I know it can be addictive to scrub, scrub and scrub

Was this a good buy?

I say oh yeah! For RM18.90 per tube it definitely is. I’ve spent more than that before and ended up with a crappy product.

Happy mask-ing girls!
