💕😌 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 💮

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💗

@itsfi  With a name like "Dream Skin" you'd hope for great results, and it sounds like you definitely got it! Glad this one worked out great for you! I feel like I might have a sample of this - will have to pull it out and try it if I do! 😃

[itsfi]

Hahaha, right @Shosh85?!! If you have a sample, it's probably the original formulation, which contained both AHAs and BHAs. This new version contains AHAs but no BHAs. Same results (yay!) but no salicylic acid. 

[sister13]

Ooh, so nice! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @sister13! I do like the results a lot; makes price on this one a tad easier to swallow. 😂 This tube should definitely last me for some time. 

[lmaster]

That's great news! Glad you like the reformulation @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it's fabulous news - it had been out everywhere. I feared it might be discontinued; fortunately, just a reformulation, and that worked out well too. 

[Kim888]

Thank you for sharing @itsfi ! I love the idea of a 1 minute mask ! 

[itsfi]

Right @Kim888! Masking can definitely be a vehicle for some down time and self care, but I also love a good, quick & easy mask when I really want the benefits of masking but don't have the time for it. 

[quspork]

Thanks for the review on this one, @itsfi. I was curious about it when I saw the new package/formula but was hesitant that the scent would be overpowering. I'm glad to hear you didn't find it to be too overwhelming!

[itsfi]

@quspork, the scent is definitely noticeable but it's not so strong as to be unpleasant or uncomfortable.

A for anti-aging - that's part of my skincare routing in every season. The Hado Labo brand is a favorite and this is one of the few sheet masks I use regularly that's not contained in a multi-sheet mask pack. The ingredients are good for anti-aging and hydration. Trash day came before I could take a picture but this is a screenshot from amazon.

@minathayes 

I like the brand's lotions/toners. Haven't used their sheet masks before; didn't even know they had them.

[Cissy63]

@minathayes  Oh this sounds wonderful. And the packaging is so calming, like a spa!

[eshoe]

Ooooh @minathayes this is the first time I believe I have seen this mask reviewed here! I hesitated on this one, but it sounds like besides the pretty packaging, it sounds like one I need to try. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 

[Shosh85]

@minathayes  Glad you found one you enjoy using! The packaging is pretty! 

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, Hada Labo @minathayes! Such a great brand. 😍 I like the ingredients in this one; sounds on point with the claims of the mask. Have you tried their lotions?

[lmaster]

@minathayes the packaging is calming! 

[CynthieLu]

Pretty cherry blossom package @minathayes what did it smell like? It sounds like this was pretty hydrating 😄 love a mask that packs a moisturizing punch 👊 😀 

[missy94612]

I think I got ahead of myself; I thought we were on next week's theme / letter. We went with B is for blueberry. 

HE SAID: Moisturizing. Skin feels good. Doesn't smell like blueberries, but it doesn't smell bad either. 

SHE SAID: I like it too. It's not the best mask for the winter, but it's refreshing and a little hydrating. I think I'd like it more in the summer but it's fine now. 

[lmaster]

@missy94612 that mask looks so refreshing 

[quspork]

There's nothing wrong with being ahead of the curve, @missy94612. Too bad this one doesn't have more of a blueberry scent.
