[SKINFOOD] STRAWBERRY BLACK SUGAR MASK *WASH OFF*

I was always a bigger fan of mud masks but recently I also love to use sheet masks. I got tons of those masks from Korea and Taiwan like Kieskin, My Scheming, My Beauty Diary, innisfree, DERMAL, VANEDO, PUREDERM and so on.

I like that I just put the sheet on my face, leave it on for about 20 minutes and remove it without washing it off. The quality of the sheets are different: some are a bit too thick, so that it feels not very comfortable on the skin, others are so thin that they easily break when I unfold them.
I got different types while my favorites are always those for troubled skin (tea tree, charcoal, propolis, mango) or just for moisturizing (bamboo, watermelon, seaweed, herbs).
I would like to try japanese sheet masks as well but I never find interesting ones except of the moisturizing LuLuLun FACE MASK.

Back to mud masks: I received two new ones. One of these is the [SKINFOOD] STRAWBERRY BLACK SUGAR MASK WASH OFF. Most of the korean masks I used were from [SKINFOOD] and I decided to get this one because it is a mix of a facial scrub and face mask. In addition, strawberry is often used in products for oily or troubled skin with enlarged pores.

Description: A facial mask that contains mineral-rich Brazilian black sugar along with strawberry seeds and strawberry seed oil. Applies smoothly on skin and leaves skin fresh, clean and fragrant with a strawberry scent.

Like all face masks from [SKINFOOD] the STRAWBERRY BLACK SUGER MASK also comes in a milky white, slightly see-through plastic container with a white twist-off lid and 100g inside.

The description is written in English and Korean!

The ingredient list is only written in Korean and hard to read for me. The only things I could find out are Sucrose/ Sugar (16,500mg), Glycerin, Candelilla Wax, Lanolin, Macadamia Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Strawberry Seed (1,000mg), Berry Seed Oil (500mg) and Caramel.

The consistency is rather thick and feels kinda oily. When applying the mask to the skin you can instantly feel all the sugar in it. The strawberry seeds are also visible in this reddish-brown 2-in-1 product.
The sweet strawberry scent is nice but I don't think that the scent last very long on my skin.

I use a spatula (not included) to take the product out and mix it with a bit water before I apply it to my face. Then I massage the STRAWBERRY BLACK SUGAR MASK for about 1 minute - the sugar will start to melt away and makes the mask more soft. It reminds me a bit of [Holika Holika]'s Pig-nose clear black head cleansing sugar scrub!
After another 5~10 minutes I wash it off with clear water.

Afterwards my skin really feels smoother and cleaner. The sugar works as a scrub and removes dead skin cells while the strawberry inside cleanses the pores.
Since I have sensitive skin I use it only once a week!

How to use: 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. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

Price: around 9,- €/ US$12

What I love:
My skin feels smoother and cleaner afterwards!
 
What I don’t like:    
The sugar might be too harsh for sensitive skin but when mixed with water it's way better.
 
Will I buy this again? Not sure yet because I always like to try out new stuff.

[SKINFOOD] Banana Yogurt Mask & Kiwi Yogurt Mask *Wash off*

While I was looking for new face masks containing yogurt I stumbled over [SKINFOOD]'s Banana Yogurt Mask Wash off and Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash off. I got these two because banana is said to be good for sensitive skin and the kiwi one for oily skin. I would like to try out the Papaya Yogurt Mask as well, though.

I know that a lot of reviews exist already, especially of the Banana Yogurt Mask. Therefore, I will keep this review short!

Both face masks come in the same white, round container - it's the same design as of many other [SKINFOOD] products. There is no spoon/ spatula included, so you need to use your fingers or a pack brush to get the products out.

Each mask contains 100ml!

Banana Yogurt Mask Wash off:

Description: Yogurt mask with 'banana' extracts to prevent skin dehydration and softly soothe sensitive skin.

The main ingredients in this face mask are Banana Fruit Extract and Yogurt Powder. Some other ingredients are Water, Macadamia Seed Oil and Matricaria Flower Extract.

Underneath the twist-off lid is another white cover to protect the mask inside from spilling out.

The connsistency is creamy but also very runny. It's a bit difficult to apply the mask to my face coz of its watery/ runny texture. It has a yellowish color with yellow beads inside. These beads start to melt when I massage the Yogurt Mask over my face.

It smells like sweet bananas!

I like this mask coz it refreshes, soothes and moisturizes my dry/ sensitive skin well. 

I apply the mask to my face with a pack brush and massage it over my skin until the beads are melted, then I wait for some minutes and wash it off.

How to use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Leave on your face for 10~15minutes. Rinse off

Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash off:

Description: Yogurt mask with extracts of 'kiwi', tropical fruit rich in vitamin and juice.

The two (2) main ingredients are Kiwi Fruit Extract and Yogurt Powder. It also contains Water, Macadamia Seed Oil, Amorphophallus Konjac Root Extract and Zinc Sulfate.

The Kiwi Yogurt Mask shall control sebum and tightens pores!

Like the Banana Yogurt Mask this one has a runny texture. The greenish-white mask has green beads inside and a tropical/ citrus-like scent.

While massaging the product on my skin the beads start to melt again. I like this mask, too, even though I didn't notice a pore tightening effect yet.

How to use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Leave on your face for 10~15minutes. Rinse off 

Price (each): around 8~9,- €/ US$9~10

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)     

What I love:  

Both masks are refreshing and moisturizing.  

What I don’t like:  

The texture is a bit too runny.  

Will I buy this again? Yes, I would. Might consider to get the Papaya Yogurt Mask first, tough.

[Holika Holika] Premium Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack *green tea*

I received a new face mask which I wanted to try out since I saw it a few month ago. The Premium Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack from [Holika Holika] is a moisturizing face mask. It is available with wild berries and green tea. I had some problems to find english informations about this product but now I know that wild berry has a refreshing effect and green tea a brightening effect. I decided to get green tea because it shall make a bright and clean skin. Both masks are good for dry skin!

Description: Highly moisturizing wash off type yogurt pack including nutrition-enriched sheep milk.

The (glass) jar contains 75ml, got a cute sticker with a sheep and green tea on it and has a metal/ aluminium lid.

The white cover underneath the lid protects the product again.
The Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack with green tea contains Sheep Milk Extract (75mg), Yogurt Powder (75mg) and Green Tea Extract (75mg).

The consistency is rather creamy and got a greenish color. It smells like green tea which isn't a really new scent for me. I'm pretty sure I got another product with a similar scent.
Compared with other mud masks this yogurt mask doesn't get dry after applying it to my face. 

It gets a bit absorbed by my skin only!

I will use this wash off pack when my skin is very dry coz it moisturizes quite well. My skin is less dry and flakey afterwards! It works a bit like the Yogurt Wash-off Pack from [ETUDE HOUSE]. Good for hot days as well!!

How to use: After washing your face, apply skin toner, pour the right amount and apply the product throughout your face except for near your eyes and mouth, and wash it off after 5~10 minutes with warm water.
DO NOT EAT THE CONTENT! 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$17
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL) 

What I love: 
It does moisturize my skin well.

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I dislike atm.  

Will I buy this again? I don't think so, but if I will buy it again then the wild berry one.
