Beauty Hack: Nappy Rash Cream Face Mask?!*

Welcome back!

I've been trying out a wealth of face masks ever since I was thirteen years old whilst attending and hosting some stereotypical sleepovers. I've tried them all from the £1 chocolate face mask right up to a full on gel face mask putting your pocket out by £18.

But what if I could tell you there's a brilliant face mask that doesn't break the bank like a gel one but also does a whole lot more than the £1 jobs? Well, it's been right under your noses the whole time. Sudocrem!

I first heard about using Sudocrem as a face mask when Bethan from Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model raved about it in an audition clip. And let's be honest, she has amazing skin. So she couldn't be wrong, right?

I know what you're thinking- nappy rash cream?! Ladies and gentlemen please throw your assumptions and pre-determined judgements aside because you'll be thanking me later.

The texture of Sudocrem is almost clay like when you apply it as a face mask. I like this because you can be sure that you are getting full coverage. I just applied the cream with my fingertips making sure that I got an even but thick layer across my whole face.

The first thing I noticed when I was applying my face mask was the smell; it smells slightly minty to me like toothpaste. Nothing too strong or eye watering though.

To remove the mask I just dampened a muslin cloth in warm water and wiped the product away.

Now, the results? At first my face felt kind of chalky when I initially removed the product. However after about two hours my skin felt smooth and plump. Also, (my favourite part) my usual redness had seemed to magically disappear.

I've been using Sudocrem as a face mask once a week for about three weeks now and am thrilled with the results. It seems I have found the perfect face mask without breaking the bank! Score one for me, zero for confusing beauty products.
