I'll be writing a review for the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off today. I got this a while back in Korea and I am sure that many of you have heard about this on Youtube or read about this online. I have to say it lives up to the hype and it is a really popular product for all the good reasons!
I believe I got this around 8000Won, which would be approximately $7USD. This is made in Korea and has 100g of product in it. It is so affordable and worth my money and it will take a long time before I actually run out of this. As you can see in one of my pictures, I'm not even halfway through with the product!
Description: "A mask that contains mineral enriched Brazilian black sugar, and promotes smooth, glowing skin. After cleansing, massage onto damp face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. To minimize irritation, add water, or toner while massaging. Leave for 10-15 minutes. Rise off with lukewarm water."
I use this once every week because this is like an exfoliator and it is not beneficial to overly-exfoliate your skin.
I do use this while my face is damp right after I cleanse my face and get out of the shower. You could also add a few drops of water or toner, as mentioned in the product description, to make the mask less abrasive. Once, I used it without a damp face/water/toner and it was slightly too harsh on my skin and left redness on my skin. However, since then, I have always ensured that my skin is damp somehow before using the mask.
I like to massage my face for 5 minutes and then, I would leave the mask on. What I really like about this mask is, unlike sheet masks, I can basically do whatever I want, like walk around or sit and read or even eat dinner, without having liquid flowing down my face.
I usually leave the mask on for 30 minutes, but sometimes when I get carried away doing something else, I leave the mask on for about an hour. I don't think the time matters though and if anything, I'm guessing that leaving the mask on for a longer time may be better :)
When I'm ready to wash the mask off, I jump back into the shower, wet my hands, and massage my face for another 2-3 minutes. At this point, the mask will turn milky and feels like a cleanser but is not as foamy. After that, I would wash it all off.
This mask leaves my skin as clean and smooth as a newborn baby's skin and I am not exaggerating. I wouldn't say that it removes blackheads or sebum completely, but I am highly satisfied with this extremely affordable mask. It allows other skincare products that I would use after this sugar mask to absorb into my skin more easily. I definitely recommend that you check this out. Skinfood also has other mask wash offs in this black sugar line, such as a strawberry, a honey, and a perfect black sugar mask. They also have other masks not under the black sugar line, one of which is a rice mask that I have also heard a lot of good comments on. I look forward to trying all of them one day!
I hope you found this helpful and thank you so much for reading :)
