SKINFOOD 1957 Black Sugar Mask Wash-Off Exfoliator 3.53 oz — Gentle Physical Exfoliant with Plant Oils

SKINFOOD 1957 Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Exfoliator is a leave-on sugar scrub mask that buffs away dead skin and sebum while delivering natural oils and nutrients for smoother, revitalized skin.

This exfoliating mask from SKINFOOD blends black sugar granules with nourishing plant oils and rice wine to lift away dull surface cells without harsh abrasiveness. Designed to be used after cleansing, it can be massaged into damp skin or mixed with water or toner for a gentler experience. After a brief 10–15 minute treatment, rinse clean to reveal softer, more polished skin texture.

How does this mask exfoliate without over-drying?

The formula uses finely milled black sugar crystals that physically slough off dead cells while natural plant oils cushion and hydrate the skin during massage. Rice wine and added nutrients help condition the surface so the skin feels restored rather than stripped.

• Black sugar for gentle physical exfoliation
• Plant oils to minimize friction and lock in moisture
• Rice wine and vitamins to support skin's appearance
• Mixable with water or toner for customized intensity

When should I use the mask in my routine?

Use the Black Sugar Mask after your regular cleanser on damp skin for best contact and ease of massage. It works as a weekly or biweekly deep-exfoliation step; reduce frequency if your skin becomes sensitive or reactive.

• Apply post-cleanse on damp skin for even spread
• Massage gently, avoiding eyes and lips
• Leave 10–15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water
• Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer to seal results

Will this help with blackheads and uneven texture?

Regular, careful use can reduce surface congestion and improve skin smoothness by removing the layer of dead cells and excess sebum that traps impurities. It won’t treat deep pores or underlying conditions, but it helps surface clarity and the appearance of dark spots over time with consistent exfoliation and proper skincare.

• Physically removes build-up that contributes to blackheads
• Improves tactile smoothness and skin radiance
• Supports better absorption of subsequent skincare products
• Not a substitute for targeted acne treatments

How do I adjust use for sensitive or dry skin?

Users with delicate or dry skin can dilute the scrub with water or cosmetic toner to soften the grains and shorten contact time. Gentle massage and less frequent application reduce irritation while still providing mild polishing benefits.

• Mix one part mask with one or two parts water/toner
• Limit to once every 7–10 days for sensitive skin
• Avoid vigorous rubbing; use light circular motions
• Always follow with a soothing moisturizer

Who is this for: SKINFOOD 1957 Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Exfoliator is ideal for people seeking a natural, food-based exfoliant that balances effective physical scrubbing with nourishing ingredients. It suits those with combination to oily skin aiming to refine texture and reduce surface congestion, as well as anyone who prefers a mixable scrub-mask they can tailor to their sensitivity level. If you have very reactive or medically treated skin, consult a dermatologist before adding any new physical exfoliant to your routine.
