Black sugar is a substance that physically exfoliates the skin. It utilises physical contact with a substrate and rubbing action (also known as friction) to loosen and remove dead skin cells. This process is also referred to as manual or mechanical exfoliation. On the other hand (pun intended), there are chemical exfoliants, which can have various, more specialised effects on skin and contain chemicals like acids, retinol, and enzymes.
In order to attract moisture from the environment into the skin, sugar is a natural humectant. So, by moisturising your skin and assisting it in retaining moisture when you apply our Black Sugar Mask Wash Off, you're effectively treating indications of ageing. Additionally, you'll be preserving the environment! Microbeads, which are microscopic plastic particles that serve as the friction substrate in many well-known beauty products, are used as the main exfoliating ingredient. These microbeads, which have been turning up in alarmingly large quantities in water sources including the Great Lakes, have been prohibited as of 2015.
👌🏽 This product is for you if you're searching for a straightforward, reasonably priced exfoliating mask that brightens, smoothes, and gets rid of flaky skin ❤️. My skin feels softer, brighter, and more even after using this mask religiously for a month. As it sets, the moisturising composition moisturises your face as well, making your skin more radiant than ever!
✨ If you have sensitive skin, massage the scrub while adding more water to soften the sugar crystals and prevent skin irritation. A less abrasive application for this sugar scrub would be in conjunction with a cleansing oil. You can also use this mask on your body, particularly on the elbows and knees for exfoliation and a brighter appearance.
🤢The only icky ingredient it has is fragrance at the bottom of the list. Didn’t experience any irritation from it though, just make sure to not leave on your skin if you have sensitive skin.
