💕😌 Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

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!

Spoiler

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💗

It’s such a great mask for dry or very dry skin, or during the cold winter @LilaMJ. 👍🏼 

[lmaster]

@itsfi looks like I'll have quite a few rec's to pick up

[itsfi]

Lol, the lists just get longer, don’t they @lmaster? 😆 

[CynthieLu]

Yeahy @itsfi masks that's effects last are a magical unicorn!

So happy to hear about your love of this one! 💕 

[itsfi]

Thank you @CynthieLu! This one would slot nicely into the “new discoveries” and “favorite masks of all time” themes at the end of the month. ♥️

[ather]

@itsfi  This one sounds amazing!!

[itsfi]

It was so good @ather; just what my skin needed. 😊 I like the ingredients list on this mask and it's hard to argue against a mask that soothes, hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Especially with winter dryness being a thing, this was perfect!

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  This sounds heavenly 😀

[itsfi]

It was @Cissy63! It checked off so many boxes in terms of what I like in sheet masks. I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing picking up a pack of 5 masks that I'd never tried before but it turned out to be a good idea! 💡

[CookieGirl1]

I never think about sheet masks as being "creamy", @itsfi, but I'm intrigued...

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, there are a few sheet masks I’ve used that have a richer serum, some just slightly more dense than your traditional essence and others more cream like. This one falls somewhere  in between. Great for this time of year. 👍🏼 

[quspork]

This sounds absolutely lovely, @itsfi!

[itsfi]

My skin loved everything about this mask @quspork! 😍

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Ooooh, this one sounds amazing! Hard to beat those results! 🙌 I've never heard of this mask/brand, but you've definitely piqued my interest! 😃

[itsfi]

This mask was my intro to the brand @Shosh85 and what a great intro! 🥰 My skin really loved the feel and results of this mask. It left it feeling hydrated and moisturized which my skin really needs when it’s cold out. 👍🏼 

[Kim888]

Wow that sounds amazing @itsfi !!! Milky essence is my favorite consistency for mask serums - glad to hear this was super hydrating ! 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, my skin loves the masks with the milky essences as well. Just so good for nourishing the skin. ❤️ Especially love ceramides this time of the year - keeps that skin barrier healthy and happy! 

[Shosh85]

V is for VT

@itsfi recently talked about this brand in a recent post of hers and it reminded me I needed to finally try this one! 😃

VT Cosmetics Cica Moisture Mask

Material:

Thin cotton

Serum:

I little sudsy, watery and just a bit drippy

Scent:

Sort of leafy and bark-y. It wasn't too strong, but I could smell it the whole time the mask was on

Fit:

Just a smidge too long at the chin and a tiny bit too wide at the forehead

Wear Time:

Half hour

Tack:

Very light and only stuck around for a couple minutes

Results:

Soft and smooth skin that was nicely moisturized and hydrated. My skin tone looked more even.

Repurchase?

Yes, I really enjoyed the results from this one and love all the good ingredients!

[lmaster]

Leafy and barky 🤣 @Shosh85 yep I can imagine that,, glad you love it

[eshoe]

Your description of the scent in this one is interesting @Shosh85. It reminds me of what a pile of fall leaves smell like. Not sure that would make a great scent for a face mask, but the ingredients seem like they certainly make up for it 😁

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I wouldn't say it's my favorite scent in the world - it wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. I feel like it was just the natural scent of the ingredients, so I'm ok with that. 😉
