The Skinfood Black Sugar Strawberry Mask contains black sugar from Brazil which, according to Skinfood, is full of minerals which adhere to your skin gently. It also contains strawberry seeds and strawberry seed oil for a "refreshing strawberry fragrance". Of course, like all fruit extracts, strawberry extracts are good for your skin too, but Skinfood's description makes it look like they took their Black Sugar Mask and added strawberries, because many people thought that the original mask looked and smelled weird, like I did.
The mask itself looks like mashed strawberries with sugar grains and indeed smells like strawberries, though very natural and not the artificial "bubblegum strawberry scent", so that's very pleasant.
The mask is supposed to exfoliate your skin and leave it clean and feeling fresh. The black sugar grains are quite big and can feel very rough when massaged onto your face, but Skinfood suggests to add water or toner while massaging to avoid irritations. I use it without water when I apply it, and then add water to massage it into my skin once again before washing it off, and I have not experienced any irritations, despite having very sensitive skin.
The mask is a bit unpleasant to wear, it looks very weird and is a bit sticky. It also doesn't dry up like many other face masks, so you have the sticky mass like this on your face all the time, but I really absolutely love the result of this mask! After using the Skinfood Black Sugar Strawberry Mask my skin feels so incredibly smooth and as soft as a baby's bottom! I don't dare using this too often, because I fear it might irritate my skin after all, but once a week causes no problems at all and works very well for me.
