SKINFOOD 1957 Black Sugar Mask Wash-Off Exfoliator 3.53 oz — gentle polish & hydration

SKINFOOD 1957 Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Exfoliator is a leave-on sugar scrub mask that melts into the skin to exfoliate, polish, and hydrate for a smoother, brighter complexion.

This exfoliating wash-off mask uses finely ground black sugar combined with nourishing plant oils and fermented rice wine to gently remove dead cells, unclog pores, and restore skin texture. Designed for at-home spa-style use, it can be massaged in for immediate smoothing or left on as a mask to soften and condition the skin before rinsing. The formula balances physical exfoliation with moisturizing ingredients so skin feels refreshed rather than stripped.

How does this sugar scrub remove dead skin and blackheads?

The scrub’s black sugar grains provide physical exfoliation while the mask base softens and lifts impurities. Massaging helps dislodge sebum, surface flakes, and buildup from pores without aggressive abrasion when used as directed.

• Natural black sugar granules polish away dead cells and rough patches.
• Gentle mechanical action helps loosen blackheads and congestion.
• Leave-on application allows sugars to dissolve slightly for reduced irritation.
• Rinsing removes dislodged debris and reveals fresher skin texture.

Will this exfoliator dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

Formulated with plant oils and rice wine, the mask aims to balance exfoliation with hydration. Sensitive skin types should mix the scrub with water or toner and perform a patch test first to minimize potential irritation.

• Mixing with water reduces abrasive intensity for delicate skin.
• Plant oils help replenish moisture during and after use.
• 10–15 minute mask option allows gentler treatment than vigorous scrubbing.
• Avoid eye and lip areas and test a small patch before full-face use.

How and when should I use the Black Sugar Mask for best results?

Use this exfoliator after cleansing, on damp skin. You can either massage a small amount in circular motions for immediate exfoliation or apply a thicker layer and leave on 10–15 minutes as a wash-off mask, then rinse with lukewarm water.

• After cleansing, apply to damp skin avoiding eyes and lips.
• For daily mild exfoliation: gently massage then rinse.
• For deeper softening: leave on 10–15 minutes before washing off.
• Use 1–3 times weekly depending on skin sensitivity and needs.

What benefits does black sugar and fermented rice wine provide?

Black sugar brings mineral-rich natural exfoliation while fermented rice wine contributes mild conditioning and nutrients. Together with botanical oils, these ingredients aim to smooth skin surface and support a refreshed appearance without harsh chemicals.

• Black sugar: natural minerals and gentle physical polish.
• Rice wine (fermented): softening and nutrient support for skin texture.
• Plant oils: hydration and barrier support to reduce post-exfoliation tightness.
• Vitamins and minerals in the formula help promote a luminous look.

Who is this for: SKINFOOD 1957 Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Exfoliator suits anyone seeking a Korean-style sugar scrub that balances effective physical exfoliation with hydrating support. It’s ideal for people with dull, rough skin, visible texture, or mild congestion who want a home treatment to smooth and brighten their complexion. If you have very sensitive, actively inflamed, or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist and use a diluted application or skip physical scrubs.
