Cate Blanchett is so obsessed with face masks she even wears them in public.

The 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age' star can't get enough of SK-II Facial Treatment Masks, and even wears one while she takes her two sons - seven-year-old Dashiell and three-year-old Roman - to school.

She said: "I use a mask every day for about five days if I'm filming or leading up to an event. I've even got over the embarrassment of wearing them in public.

"I've actually worn it on the freeway in Los Angeles, driving my kids to school, and I always make sure I wear one on the plane!"

Cate also revealed she has a secret spot-removing tip which rids her face of blemishes before premieres.

She added: "If I get a break-out, I put on corn flour mixed with water to reduce the swelling. Toothpaste - that's a good one as well."

Cate Blanchett's husband hated kissing her when she was dressed as Bob Dylan, because of her stubbly face.

The Australian actress - who portrays the music legend in new biopic 'I'm Not There' - admits her fake facial hair ruined her and spouse Andrew Upton's love life.

Cate - who has been married to the writer for 10 years - told BANG Showbiz: "My husband thought it was hilarious seeing me dressed up as Dylan. He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face, that was a bit odd. To be photographed kissing your husband while dressed as a man was definitely a bit odd."

The 38-year-old star also revealed playing an ageing Queen Elizabeth in her latest movie 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age' brought its own challenges.
