Skinfood Wash

The SKINFOOD Wash-off Rice Mask is available in 100 g, 120 g, and 100 ml formats - all the same formula in slightly different packaging batches. It uses rice bran extract and finely ground rice powder as the primary ingredients. Rice bran contains niacinamide precursors, ferulic acid, and inositol, which collectively contribute to brightening, mild exfoliation, and antioxidant protection.

The mask is applied to dry or slightly damp skin in an even layer, left on for 5-10 minutes, then massaged with water before rinsing. The mild exfoliation comes from the fine rice powder granules activating during the massage step. The result is smoother texture and a brighter skin tone after regular use.

Apply a thin, even layer to cleansed skin (can be used as a double-cleanse second step, or as a separate treatment after cleansing). Leave on for 5 minutes for a light treatment; up to 10 minutes for a more intensive session. When ready to rinse, add a few drops of water to the mask and massage gently in circular motions - the rice powder granules provide a light physical exfoliation during this step. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry and continue your routine.

Do not leave the mask on longer than 15 minutes, as the rice powder can dry out the skin when the mask over-dries. Use 2-3 times per week as a treatment mask; once weekly is adequate for normal skin that cleansing foam already keeps clear.

The three Rice Mask Wash-off sizes in this collection (100 g, 100 ml, 120 g) are the same formula across different production batches and packaging generations. The 100 g and 120 g are measured by weight (jar format); the 100 ml is measured by volume (tube format). In practical terms, they are equivalent amounts of product. Choose based on preferred packaging - the jar format is easier for applying a thick layer with fingertips; the tube is more hygienic and travel-friendly.

The Honey Rich Body Wash uses honey extract and rich emollient surfactants for dry body skin. At 450 ml, it is a full-size body wash lasting 2-3 months with daily use. The formula is gentler than standard body washes that use high concentrations of sulfates - honey extract acts as a humectant, retaining moisture during the brief rinse-off contact time. The result is skin that feels softer and less stripped immediately after drying compared to conventional body wash formulas.

It pairs well with a body lotion or body butter applied on slightly damp skin after showering. In winter, the Honey Rich Body Wash is effective as a daily base, with intensive lotion or oil on top for very dry patches.

The Lemon Verbena Body Wash uses lemon verbena leaf extract - known for its crisp citrus-herbal scent and mild toning effect on the skin. At 450 ml, it is the same full size as the Honey Rich. The formula is lighter than the Honey Rich - more appropriate for normal and combination body skin that does not need heavy emollient support but wants a refreshing, clean feeling after showering.

Lemon verbena contains antioxidant polyphenols and mild astringent compounds that make it particularly pleasant as a summer body wash. The scent is a genuine lemon-verbena note rather than synthetic lemon fragrance, which is one of the reasons SKINFOOD's food-ingredient line has a following among people who prefer natural botanical scents.

The Intensive Shea Butter Cream Wash is the richest body cleanser in this collection. Shea butter has high concentrations of oleic and stearic fatty acids, which provide an occlusive emollient effect that even rinse-off products can leverage. The Cream Wash format is thicker than standard body washes and applies like a light cream that lathers moderately. It is designed for very dry, rough body skin - particularly elbows, knees, and lower legs in winter.

The 450 ml size is consistent with the rest of the body wash range. Unlike face washes, leaving a small film of cream wash on the skin during a brief rinse contributes some moisturizing benefit. However, the primary action is still cleansing - applying a body lotion after is still the recommended protocol for seriously dry body skin.

The Rice Daily Brightening Cleansing Foam and the Wash-off Rice Mask both use rice bran for brightening, but they operate differently. The foam cleanser is a daily cleanse tool - it cleans the skin with a mild brightening benefit from the rice extract that accumulates over regular use. The Wash-off Rice Mask is a treatment - applied as a 5-10 minute concentrated dose 2-3 times per week, it delivers a more intense brightening and exfoliation session.

For best results, use both: the Rice Daily foam as the daily cleanser, and the Wash-off Rice Mask as a weekly or twice-weekly intensive step. This is how SKINFOOD positions the products within the same rice-ingredient system - the foam maintains, the mask treats.

Very dry or dehydrated body skin: Intensive Shea Butter Cream Wash daily, followed by body butter or rich lotion. Dry body skin in cold weather: Honey Rich Body Wash, followed by body lotion on damp skin. Normal body skin year-round: Lemon Verbena Body Wash is sufficient; upgrade to Honey Rich in winter. Oily or congestion-prone body skin (back, shoulders): Lemon Verbena is the lightest option and least likely to contribute to body acne; the Honey Rich and Shea Butter washes may be too emollient for acne-prone zones.
