Josh Rosebrook's Cacao Antioxidant Mask has been the perfect treat for my skin this winter! Packed with naturally indulgent ingredients, such as cacao, almond oil, marula oil, baobab oil, rose petal, and marshmallow root, this mask is intended to detoxify, rejuvenate and clear skin through powerful antioxidant and phytonutrient plant synergies. Its rich cacao antioxidants help slow skin cell decline, assist in collagen production, and trigger circulation to increase elasticity, luminosity, and the skin’s natural healing ability. Not to mention, potent plant oils are included to nourish the skin and maintain hydration. The purity and effectiveness of this lush mask are second to none! You will love it and so will your glowing, hydrated skin!
Description
This mask has a thick, fudge-like texture that feels smooth and velvety on the skin. Upon application, you will notice a slight warming effect that really helps improve blood circulation. With so much cacao, as well as witch hazel and vinegar for their astringent properties, I was worried that this mask might dry out my skin. However, I haven't had any issues at all! In fact, this mask leaves my skin ridiculously silky and hydrated! I've also noticed that it really does a number on clogged pores, which is always a plus! The scent is herbaceous, warm, and chocolatey, but it is also quite potent. If you are sensitive to certain aromas, I suggest getting a sample before committing to a larger size.
Application
Although this mask is creamy, it takes a little effort to spread over the face. As such, I like to spritz on a bit of Josh Rosebrook's Hydrating Accelerator before applying an even layer over my skin. It is suggested that you allow this mask to dry for up to 45 minutes before rinsing with warm water. I know that 45 minutes seems like a long time, but if you can plan some chores, cook dinner, or watch your favorite tv show/movie while you are masking, it goes by in no time! Similar to a clay mask, you'll know when its ready to remove when the mask is completely dry and your skin feels warm and tingly.

Wrap-up
What I like most about this mask is how healthy and balanced it makes my skin feel! With amazing ingredients and a luxuriously thick texture, you will adore this cacao-based concoction! I definitely recommend testing out a sample of this product if you are sensitive to certain scents because it is quite strong, especially when you first open the jar. I also suggest rinsing this mask off thoroughly because it will leave behind a residue otherwise.
This mask is so nourishing and effective that it will definitely remain a staple in my skincare collection!
