💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@eshoe  Your mask sounds heavenly.  And I appreciate your review of the DermaFlash.  I am on the fence about it but reading @lmaster  comments, makes me think maybe I will consider it more. Especially when the spring sale comes around.

[eshoe]

Thank you for your kind words, @Cissy63. I wish there were a way to try before you buy with devices like this. It seems to work better for some than others, which is kind of what I would expect with any skincare item. Definitely wait for a sale if you decide to spring for it!

[CynthieLu]

@eshoe I've never heard of the derma flash, I have to go google it now 🙃 

I love your very spa like mask session 🛁 

The whole session sounds like it was rejuvenating for the whole face 💕

[lmaster]

@eshoe @Samtian guys I'm so sad the dermaflash isn't working for you!! However, not only holding your skin taught, you have to apply pressure to the specific blackhead you are trying to remove. Pressure like literally pushing the device into the area. Tati did have a video awhile ago and that helped me learn how to really use it

[eshoe]

You are always so helpful, @lmaster! I will look for that on YT 😘 

[eshoe]

I am not sure I personally would recommend the Dermaflash, @CynthieLu; it just hasn’t given me enough “Oooooh! Ahhhhhh! Look at my skin now!” to say it is a must-buy. 

Now the sheet mask, on the other hand….😁

[Samtian]

@eshoe I am so let down with the dermaflash. I did it taut skin, and wet skin and the ectracter did absolutely nothing. Even out of the shower with skin all warm and steam. The shocks hurt. As for the infuser side I was expecting something else. I'm not sure it works either but I use it every once in a while. 

[eshoe]

I can definitely see how the shocks would hurt, @Samtian. Glad I am not the only one who is uncertain about this one! I only have one other electronic device for skin (my NuFace), and I do see results with that one if and only if i am consistent. I was morbidly hoping for some serious extraction, but I guess I will take nothing over irritation 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Samtian]

@eshoe Lol yeah it can feel like full on electrocution if you hit a dry spot. Glad that one works!

[eshoe]

😬😬😬 @Samtian 

[lmaster]

@eshoe I love the dermaflash!! You have to hold you skin taught, and apply good pressure, those blackheads will pop right out 🙂

[eshoe]

Thank you for the tips, @lmaster! I do not hold my skin taut at all. Note taken 👍🏼😁

[lmaster]

Grapes...and wine for breakfast lol

This sheet was thin and had a light pink hue to it.

Fit was good and was soaked in serum so it adhered well to my skin 

The scent seriously reminded me of a red wine 

Wear time was 10 minutes 

After removing the serum absorbed quickly, and my skin felt tighter, not even joking! It looked brighter as well 

Im pretty sure I received this in factory when I had the subscription, I can't say that I would seek it out but it was decent for a makeup prep mask

I love it when a mask gives you that firming effect @lmaster - even if they claim it will firm your skin, I’m always a little skeptical and then completely (and happily) surprised when it does just that! 😍 Good to know the results were good with this one - I made a note 📝 of that for when I reach for mine. 🍷 

[lmaster]

I feel like it's a unicorn mask for sure when you feel the firming effects @itsfi 😁

[missy94612]

@lmaster 

I like the idea of a glass of wine, as in an actual glass and the mask. lol

[lmaster]

Sounds like the best combo ever 😉 @missy94612 

[Cissy63]

@lmaster  Glad you had good results!

[lmaster]

@Cissy63 not too shabby 😉

[eshoe]

Pretty sure I have tried this one too, @lmaster - although I do not recall the scent, I remember thinking red wine = veggies, hmmmmmmm🧐🤣 @quspork 

[lmaster]

@eshoe that description is so accurate 🤣
