A darkside mask is an alchemy/sorcery skill for hiding the corrupting power of the darkside.

The way I understand is that the more you use the Dark Side, the more it shows. If you use it carelessly, it will corrupt your body. So you can either balance it with the LS, use Force mask or buy a large package of Napalmex that will purge all filth from your body and leave you with scent of roses. Plus you will get a plastic figure of Darth Shara for free!

An example of this being false is Anakin's fall to the dark side. He had not used the dark side of the force at all, it was his actions and his fall to the dark side in terms of morality that caused his physical change. The usage of the force itself doesn't mean anything, the force apparently corrupts you as you synergize with it rather than just using it.Darth Veles said:

So you say the corruption is caused by a change of morals? Not like it matters, Veles will not show signs of it either way

The best solution if you want to hide darkside corruption is either masks or illusion. There is also another reason why Sith Lords have cloaks with physical masks. Beyond simply intimidation factor they can disguise the darkside exacting its toll on them. Balaya uses medical technology to mask the signs of it and an alchemical mask to keep her looks. Most won't have the skill to do it.

Not so much morals as the change in your way of thinking. I, for example, can do good things and still be evil - in fact I can do small things that seem neutral in the short term, but in the long term become heinously evil even to those whom are evil.Darth Veles said:So you say the corruption is caused by a change of morals?

The best way I can explain it is:
You are a brilliant villain, a man who has a plan and is arguably a genius. Recognizing that blatant acts of evil will not do you much good, you go about acting good with bad intentions. Thus you are still acting in a manner that aligns with the dark side. Clearly it would greatly depend on what you are doing for it to manifest as a dark side corruption, but there is no amount of willpower that will stop it - only leaving the dark side will do that.
Another example is the "I didn't know better" argument.
You believe that you are doing the right thing, even though everyone else knows that to be false. You use both the dark and the light side, either because you do not see the dark side as inherently bad or evil, and expect any amount of the light side to balance it out. The issue that is being missed is that the dark side will always corrupt, regardless of using the light side or not - it is the presence of the dark side of the force which corrupts, not a lack of balance with it.

The Dark Side will eventually deform your physical body.
The earliest sign is the pale pigmentation of the skin and the sulfuric irises, but eventually it'll continue to worsen and worsen.
Kaine's body is being devoured by his own power, and eventually his body will be used up and crumble to dust.

This is why there are cybernetics and biots that can hold you together.Darth Vornskr said:

Also, the degree of corruption varies per individual, and the corruption itself is dependent on the individual. While one person may become some sort of walking skeletor, another may just become extremely pale with yellowed eyes and a weakness or distaste for things that symbolize the light side.

I guess everyone has their opinion, as I have seen many explanations what causes the body to become corrupt by the Dark Side. But how to explain some Jedi using Dark Side powers as Force lightning and Torture by Chagrin and showing no DS corruption? I never understood how those can have their signatures shine like a lighthouse when they actively use the Dark Side.

There is a lightside variant of force lightning known as Force Judgement, that is how they get away with that. As for the Memory Walk (Torture by Chagrin) - it has only been used by a single "light sider", that being Cade Skywalker, but he has a god-like ability to heal and reverse apparently all things and even revive the dead. Naturally he could remove his own dark side corruption.Darth Veles said:
