Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge! 

Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

OhK! Watermelon Foot Peel

First of all, no, these don't smell like watermelon 😅🍉
On March 12th I put these masks on. The package comes with two booties and two serum packets. I emptied 1 pouch of serum in each bootie and put them on. I tied the little booty straps, put socks on, then put my slippers on. I'm not sure how easy these would be to walk in if it weren't for the socks and slippers, but with them on I had no problems. The directions say to leave them on for 1 - 1.5 hours. Im an overachiever and ended up having them on for about 2 hours.😉 When I removed them, I did as the directions stated and rinsed my feet. On the 18th (6 days later) I started to see some light peeling. The next day it peeled a little more. Then on the 20th my feet were peeling like crazy! It was seriously like a snake shedding its skin, haha! – so gross but so satisfying at the same time.

😂👍

On the 21st, (about 9 days later) my feet were finally done peeling and I was left with the smoothest, softest feet! Even my heels, which were the roughest part of my feet, have smoothed out completely 😃

This is the first time I used this mask and was worried it wouldn't work as well as the others I've tried, but it turned out just as good! Will definitely pick this one up again!

@Shosh85 thank you for sharing this!! I need to use one very soon.... summer is getting close

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yup, my thoughts exactly! Warmer weather is approaching and I needed to get my feet ready for flip flops! 👍

[PDXXXX]

Ooh @Shosh85 ! I love a good foot mask and that one looks really fun!

[Shosh85]

@PDXXXX  I love foot peels!.... it's the waiting for something to happen that kills me 😬

I hope it's okay to hop in and bump this thread! I wanted to bring back this thread as a place for us all to share our masks we've tried and our experiences/thoughts.

Last night's sheet mask:

I forget where I got this one - I think a K-beauty site (Soko Glam or YesStyle probably), and it might have been part of a sheet mask set.

This one felt nicely hydrating - left it on for 20 minutes - but it was quite loose-fitting and didn't adhere to my face very well. I don't know that I'd get it again; it was nice, but there are so many sheet masks out there to try, and I have so many in my stash already, a mask has to really wow me at this point to be a repurchase haha. Still, it was nice to get some masking time in!

[lmaster]

@caitbird thanks for the heads up on this one 

[Shosh85]

@caitbird  Sounds like it turned out decent - maybe a good "filler" mask. I really like the Leaders brand - but there are definitely ones that are better than others! I totally know what you mean when say, "the mask really has to wow me." 😃

Hey been a super long time... any of the OG's here have recs for eye masks? Thanks!

[itsfi]

V ❣️❣️❣️ How are you @veronika23? What kind of eye mask are you interested in? The sheet mask kind or the cream kind? 

[veronika23]

Heyyyyy! It's going... How are you @itsfi ?  Definitely sheet/peel-off in mid price range... looking to get something during the sale. Thanks so much!

[itsfi]

@veronika23, my fave has been discontinued, but lots of folks have been liking the ones from Peter Thomas Roth, depending on what you're looking for. 

Peter Thomas Roth The Gift of Bright Eyes has a set of 3?

Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Firming Hydra-Gel Eye Mask Patches for Fine Lines and Dark Circles I've used before and liked but it's kinda pricey

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox® Hydra-Gel Eye Mask Patches for Puffiness and Dark Circles 

I've been trying more Kbeauty eye patches.

I'm alright; really good to hear from you! 

[veronika23]

@itsfi  thanks so much. I'll take a look. It's more for like a de-puff/brightening/minimize bags/look more awake kinda thing 🤣

Which ones have you been trying out of curiosity?

Good. Nice to hear from you as well. Thank you for the suggestions. 😊

[itsfi]

Ahhh, you might like these Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Eye Patches @veronika23 

It’s what I’ve been using while using what I have left of the Sephora Collection Caffeine Eye Mask which have been discontinued (loved them for depuffing, brightening and making me look more awake than I actually am, ha!)

[miss8]

@itsfi , I Love Caffeine 😋

[veronika23]

Thanks. I'll def look these up too! @itsfi

This week I did the Creme Shop Plump up mask. It dried in the middle of the face before the 20 minutes, but it also expired last year. I wasn't fond of the smell, thankfully it didn't last. But I did like how my face looked the next morning! It was super long. I also did a Hello Kitty foot mask, Halloween themed and I really really loved that. My feet felt so soft and moisturized, even two days later! Mom had a different mask, it has Vit C so I gave it to her.

Snapchat filter said no to her lol

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  I know this was like a year ago, but oh well.

Love this pic! You two are adorable! Happy to hear the masks turned out great, even despite one of them being expired! 😃👍

[lmaster]

Awwwww love the masking sesh!! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster 😄 thank you!
