Wash Off Rice Mask

This product was absolutely amazing! I was introduced to it while watching a YouTube video and really wanted to purchase it. I've always wanted to purchase and try some Korean skin care. So glad I got it because I saw IMMEDIATE results. No joke as soon as I applied it my face was soothed and after massaging into the skin, waiting, and finally rinsing off my skin felt and looked amazing!! I suffer from somewhat blotchy red skin and it evened out my skin tone and brightened it up. Another plus is the gentleness because it allows me to use it every day with out drying me skin. In fact it adds moisture and makes my skin super soft.

I wanted to like this product, and thought I would based on all of the reviews on this website as well as many others. The first thing I hated was the texture: the actual mask base was so wet and almost watery, whereas in the pictures it looks thicker or creamier with fluffy peaks. The pictures are completely deceiving unfortunately. It's more of a soupy mess with random pieces of rice that fall off your face. It also has a suuuuper strong fragrance for a face product that was just awful. After being on my face for about five minutes it started to burn and itch. I had to take it off, and it left my face all red. Although I have acne-prone sensitive skin, I've can generally tolerate different types of products and ingredients well, in that they don't typically burn or itch. This was an unfortunate exception.

I've spent long hours searching for skincare products that fit my needs. I'm not just talking about face masks, but anything. Out of EVERY skincare product I've tried for my large pores with dry flaky skin, this is the only one that kept my dry sling at bay while not clogging my pores and causing me to break out. It's has exfoliated my dead skin, reduced the redness in my skin, and brightened my overall complexion. If you get nothing else in a more complex skincare routine than just washing your face, get this.

There are absolutely no consequences in using this product!! I loovvee this mask. It has a delicate fragrance. You can barely smell it but it smells like clean linen. It helps brighten, uneven skin tone, fights wrinkles, gives your face a dewy glow, and I could go on on about the benefits of this mask. When you get it, you might be surprised because it looks small!! Well it is in a small package. It's made in small batches and you only need a tiny bit to do your face and neck. When I first found this a few years ago I had sun damage, dull, just uughhh skin. After using this for 2 weeks my face started to glow, uneven pigmentation diminished, and did I mention the Glow!!😎 I have been into K Beauty for quite some time and Skin Food is one of my top faves. Oh and the ingredients...look at the ingredients and then look at a mask that you have laying around. Ingredients are listed in order from the highest amount to the lowest. This mask has alot of top ingredients first!!! I love the mild, and I do mean mild, scent too. It reminds me of clean linen or mild cashmere if that makes sense. It is a soft clean smell and extremely light!! I can't say enough about this mask except I am buying it again because I truly see impressive results. I have face masks galore and I will not go without this! I would fore sake some of my high end brands for this, hands down!! It is a high end effective mask but at an extremely reasonable price. Oh it also helps with my acne!! I don't have acne issues any more and one reason I truly believe is because I use this mask. You put this on for 10 Minutes ( I do) then scrub it off with warm water. Your face will be smooth and glow. I promise you!!

I'm obsessed with masks. I use AT LEAST one on a daily basis. I have at least 10 on my bathroom counter currently, including multiple masks I shelled out a lot more cash for than this one (e.g. the Dr. Brandt oxygen facial and the Kiehl's cranberry-turmeric masks). But $$ =/= results! This has quickly turned into one of my HG masks. After MUCH trial and error my favorite masks in my collection, which I keep coming back to on a regular basis, include: - The Skin Food rice mask wash off - The Skin Food egg white pore mask - Tony Moly I'm Real Luminating pearl sheet mask I find that the rice mask wash off is best for when my skin is dry or irritated. It's a bit more comforting/moisturizing then the sheet masks when I need that, and I can move my face around more than I can when using a sheet mask. I also feel it's sensitive enough to use in the under eye and eyelid areas. It's highly moisturizing and imparts smoothness, softness, and a dewy glow slightly more "wet"-appearing than the one I get with sheet masks, if that makes sense. I have not noticed any effect on preventing or stopping breakouts, but then that's not what I use this mask for. For reference: -my skin is normal to combination, sensitive, and hormonal acne-prone. -I use a multi-step skin care routine inspired by the Korean 10-step routine, including an oil-based cleanser (Pond's cream cleanser), then a water-based cleanser (a prescription sulfur wash to combat acne), then a gentle exfoliant (Lush's Buche de Noel or Angels on Bare Skin), then a mask, then serum (Hylamide SubQ anti-age) and a prescription cream on acne, then moisturizer (usually either Lush's Full of Grace bar or Nivea, depending on my level of dryness that day). -I enjoy this both for night and morning use, which I can't say about all of my masks Compared to my more expensive products, this mask has a better effect at a much lower price. It's a no-brainer!
