Black sesame has always been one of the staples in Chinese culture and is widely known for its health and beauty benefits to internal organs, skin and hair. The mask comes in a cute little tub and contains black sesame extracts, rich phospholipids and vitamin E to deeply cleanse your pores while leaving it soft and refreshed. All you have to do is massage it gently onto your face in a circular motion, leave it on for 3-5 minutes and rinse off. The texture is a little thick and gooey but once I put it on, it dissolved into my skin and left behind these little black sesame seeds. The heating sensation was very mild and only lasted a few seconds. My face felt very clean and soft afterwards with no dry, tight feeling. The best part is the smell. This baby smells just like real black sesame and I was so tempted to just eat the whole tub! If only I can get some good black sesame paste (芝麻糊) in Chicago *sigh* If you have read my previous post about all the products and samples I got from Malaysia then you will know that I am spoilt for choice. It is difficult choosing which product sample to try first when you have so many. A close friend of mine (fellow blogger ‘ChuStyle’) suggested that I do a lucky dip. So the lucky sample for today was: Product Description: According to the back of the sample, Skin Food state that “The mask opens up pores with a warm heat of salt and sugar powder and eliminates waste material in a rough skin affected by the accumulated keratin. It provides an amazing silkiness to the skin with nourishing black sesame extract.” Sounds intriguing right? I couldn’t wait to try it for myself, so I opened the little sample packet, took a picture to show you how it looks and then applied it to my face. Appearance: The product is a clear grayish colour with small black scrubby particles which I assume is the black sesame. Scent: It has a strong sesame smell but not the kind that most people would be used to in cooking, it’s more of an earthy roasted sesame smell with a hint of sweetness. Texture & Experience: I applied the product on to my face and massaged in circular motions, making sure to scrub away dead skin cells and excess sebum. The product glides on very smooth yet has a slight sticky honey like feel to it. I wouldn’t exactly call it a “hot” mask, as it just feels pleasantly warm and only while massaging the skin. As soon as I stopped massaging I really couldn’t feel any heat at all. I like that the black sesame particles are not as coarse as some other exfoliators that I have tried in the past; they just gently exfoliate the skin without feeling uncomfortable. I kept the mask on for 5 minutes then rinsed my face with warm water. Overall Impression:It did quite a good job in making my skin feel smooth and clean however, as I have only used the product once, I don’t know how my skin would feel and look after using it regularly. I also don’t think it’s at all necessary to always use this as a mask unless you really want to. If you are in a rush you could just simply exfoliate your skin with it and rinse away without waiting for 5 minutes and you will still get smooth nourished skin just the same. *Note: As I don’t have the full size product of this sample I can’t give a clear account as to how beneficial or how effective this product is over time.
