What is the Black Mask service and what is it for?

Black Mask is a deep-cleansing black facial mask that helps draw impurities out of the pores, reduce blackheads and excess shine. It's a good option when you want fresher, more even-looking skin without heavy procedures or aggressive peels.

Is the Black Mask procedure painful and what does it feel like?

When applied, the mask feels like a cool, dense layer that gradually sets on the skin. When it's removed there can be mild discomfort in areas with many blackheads or stubble, but it's not “crazy pain” – more like an intense cleansing sensation that passes quickly.

Which skin types is Black Mask suitable for and can it be done on sensitive skin?

Black Mask works best on oily and combination skin with enlarged pores, blackheads and congestion in the T-zone. For very sensitive, irritated or over-dry skin we either soften the protocol or recommend postponing – the barber will first assess your skin and honestly say whether the mask is right for you.

How does the Black Mask procedure work in the barbershop?

First the skin is cleansed of surface dirt and excess oil, and if needed the pores are gently softened. Then a thick layer of black mask is applied, left to set and carefully peeled off in one piece. At the end a soothing product is applied to calm any redness and help the pores tighten.

How long does the effect of Black Mask last and how often should I do it?

The feeling of cleaner, more matte skin and visually smaller pores usually lasts around 1–2 weeks, depending on your skin type and home care. For most men, doing a Black Mask every 2–4 weeks is enough as part of a regular grooming routine without overloading the skin with too many aggressive cleansers.

Does Black Mask damage the skin and can it leave marks afterwards?

When applied and removed correctly, Black Mask does not damage healthy skin: it removes surface impurities and some dead cells without “stripping” the skin raw. Mild redness in sensitive areas is possible but usually goes away quickly after soothing care, and it should not leave marks or scratches.

How is the Black Mask in the barbershop different from home masks or pore strips?

In the barbershop we use professional formulas and a clear protocol: proper cleansing, skin preparation, controlled exposure time and a soothing finish. At home, masks and strips are often used “as it goes” without tailoring to skin type, which makes it easy to over-dry or irritate the face without getting a consistent result.

What are the contraindications for Black Mask and what should I avoid afterwards?

It's better to avoid Black Mask if you have fresh breakouts, inflamed acne, dermatitis, a strong sunburn or known allergies to mask ingredients. After the procedure you shouldn't go straight to a sauna, pool, tanning bed or intense sun; avoid harsh scrubs and alcohol-based toners and, if possible, use a light moisturiser or soothing product instead.
