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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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 masks๐
@CynthieLu if the serum helped my eczema,,, maybe it would help diaper rash ๐
Hahaha oh baby jokes ๐ your killing me lol!
I know it's some sort of subliminal marketing but this is funnier @lmaster tee hee
You know what had been working wonders twice a day for my eczema is The Inkey Lists super solutions Azelaic Acid, after a a couple of days I can see it starting to heal. It's worked on a patch I had by my eyes and on a real good and angry few breakouts on my fingers (the soap at my work kills me ๐ )
Good to know!! @CynthieLu I'll add it to my loves list ๐
Mask: | SkinRx Lab MadeCera Real Red Mask |
Brand Origin: | South Korea |
Manufacture Site: | South Korea |
Claim(s): | Calming & Moisturizing |
Key Ingredient(s): | Extracts of beets, raspberries and tomatoes, together with madecassoside and ceramide |
Material: | Thin, 100% Lyocell plant based cellulose sheet (aka clearcell H sheet) |
Adherence: | Good; clings beautifully to the skin |
Fit: | Good with some minor adjustments, which were easy to do as there's a lot of strategically placed slits on this mask. |
Essence: | Clear, slightly runny liquid |
Scent: | There's a plant-like scent to this with a smidge of a tea tree oil smell - not overwhelming but it is discernible (turns out there's tea tree extract in the essence as well) |
Viscosity: | Light to light-medium |
Performance (during 30 minutes of wear): | Wears comfortably; I could feel my dehydrated skin drinking up the essence |
Tack / Stickiness: | Slightly tacky/sticky; there's a little bit of a filmy feeling after pressing / patting into the skin; disappears once you follow up with the rest of your skincare routine (i.e., moisturizer) |
Results: | Intensely hydrating; leaves skin soft, supple, bouncy. |
Best Suited For: | All skin types, especially those with dehydrated skin |
Will I Repurchase?: | Oh yes! This would be lovely after a day in the sun. |
Mask: | SkinRx Lab MadeCera (Re-turn) Express Mask |
Brand Origin: | South Korea |
Manufacture Site: | South Korea |
Claim(s): | Hydrating, moisturizing, healing |
Key Ingredient(s): | Turmeric extract, beta-glucan, ceramide, madecassoside |
Material: | Microfiber - thin leaning, very soft |
Adherence: | Beautiful; adheres well to contours of the face |
Fit: | Pretty good - some adjustments needed for a more tailored fit, but one of the better fits for my face shape |
Essence: | Creamy goodness - feels moisturizing but not heavy. Thinner consistency but not runny or dripping. |
Scent: | Herbaceous / botanical, ever so slightly medicinal |
Viscosity: | Standard for a cream / milky emulsion essence |
Performance (during 30 minutes of wear): | Wears comfortably and feels soothing and nourishing while worn |
Tack / Stickiness: | A very slight tack-to-the-touch as you press the remaining essence into the skin but the tack dissipates as the essence is fully absorbed. |
Results: | Ahhh, soft, plump, moisturized skin! |
Best Suited For: | Dry or very dry skin year-round; possibly all skin types in the colder winter season |
Will I Repurchase?: | Absolutely! |
@itsfi where would I find these?? ๐คฃ
Omg, believe it or, these are still in production @lmaster! I was half expecting to learn theyโd been discontinued because, well, you know how that goes! ๐คช But these are in stock!! You can find them on the brandโs US site - skinrxlab (dot) us - no www
Also available thru YesStyle (but they go in and out of stock) and Amazon! ๐๐ผ
Thank you dearly!! @itsfi
Those both sound lovely @itsfi (and that picture is so pretty ๐ฉท) I don't really know much about the brand, but I'm curious now, they seem like good ones ๐ I do love that Korean skin care ๐
Ahhhh, love Korean skin care @CynthieLu! Thereโs just so much out there that itโs easy to get distracted by all sorts of newness, or even tons of brands and products that have been around for some time that I donโt have the chance to get to right away. Having just one face can make it hard to try it all out. ๐ And thatโs just what is available to the North American markets. I donโt even know how many empty suitcases I would need to bring (or buy) if I visited Korea.
@itsfi These both sound fantastic! Love how the "Re-turn" one sounds - I'm always a sucker for milky/creamy masks! Glad these both turned out to be winners! ๐
P.S. - I love your use of "I's!" ๐
So with you @Shosh85! I see or hear milky / creamy serum and all of me is just like โOhhhh??!!โ ๐ The โRe-turnโ one is fab and definitely one I will re-turn to. Hahaha!
I didnโt have a mask from an โIโbrand easily on hand so I had some fun with my tie-in for the letter of the week. ๐โบ๏ธ
@itsfi Excellent breakdown of both masks. I know that I could definitely benefit from aome wxtra hydration of he skin any time of the year. It is nice that you enjoyed the masks. It is also helpful to know that you would repurchase ๐
Thank you @Mellmars1185! The brand has some great skincare products in addition to these sheet masks. ๐๐ผ Well suited to those with dry, very dry or compromised skin.
I is for Incredible
The fit on this one is terrible, too big all around, but if you squish it and fold it, you can make it work.
The scent was nothing to me, not even a typical sheet scent, nada, which would be great for those that have sensitivities to fragrance
Tons and tons of extra clear serum!!
** So this winter my eczema has been the worst I've ever experienced, I could get rid of the itch with otc creams, but the eczema was not going away,,, I decided to start using the extra serum in the packages on my skin that had the eczema,,,, and I have to say it helped clear my skin immediately!!! (My legs were the worst and I had a little bit on my upper arm areas)
Just saying if anyone suffers from eczema try using the serum in these masks, it worked wonders for me!!
I left it on for 20 minutes and wow there was so much serum that didn't absorb, however as soon as I removed the sheet it started to absorb.
I didn't notice any tackiness just hydrated, I mean plump and hydrated skin!!
A little glow too might add ๐
This one is a winner
Oh wow, so glad this helped with your eczema, @lmaster. Love a mask with serum to spare!
@quspork oh absolutely!! I'm using every drop now that's extra
Oh I am glad to hear you had good results @lmaster. I too have eczema and itโs miserable. Iโve been waking up at night just itching my legs and feet no matter what I have put on them. Iโm sorry to hear how much you are suffering. Spring and summer canโt come too soon.
@Cissy63 it was so bad, I had bruises on my thighs from scratching so hard!! I was willing to try anything, I knew I needed hydration, and body oils and moisturizer were not doing the trick, so I figured if the serum hydrates my face, it's gotta help and thank goodness it did
@lmaster Oh, wow, this definitely sounds like a winner! I am so happy it could help with your eczema- that's amazing! I think this is a Turmeric mask? I wonder if it's the Turmeric that your skin loves so much?
I have used so many masks on my legs ๐ @Shosh85 it would be hard to pinpoint, they all helped with hydration and protecting my skin barrier ๐ the look at me watermelon was the first brand I used on it bc I had so many
