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

@sister13  What did you think about it?  It’s sounds different.  Oh a warm spicy scent sounds wonderful.  

[lmaster]

How do you like the ML mask? The description sounds interesting @sister13 

[sister13]

I really like it! I forgot about combining it with May’s The Honey Mud, which honestly has the best scent (to me) of any skincare product I’ve ever used! The Clean Dirt starts out as a dry, grainy powder and you mix it with water. It foams up into a mousse texture. It tingles a little and has some chemical exfoliation, (I think) but also physical exfoliation when you rinse off and massage in. This one is a bit lighter than The Problem Solver, which you generally want to apply when you’re planning to shower, because that one’s a bit more challenging to remove and easier and less messy I’m the shower. ML recommends to apply to face and then when you rinse off, to massage neck and chest too. Overall, all of her products have incredible, unique and relaxing/uplifting scents! @lmaster @Cissy63

Thank you for the info!! @sister13

@sister13, it frustrating when you lose your post! Grrr! 😖 Oh, May Lindstrom! Beautiful skincare. I have a sample of the Dirt mask  somewhere… the warm spicy scent sounds interesting. 

[sister13]

The scents of her products are so incredible to me! This one is the spiciest scent that’s not sweet. Let me Know when you try it! I love how it bubbles up when you add the water to it, into a light foam! @itsfi 

I got to go to an event she hosted here in Denver and she was so wonderful, so her products hold a special for me!

I had planned on getting in some posts to catch up on a few masks from the last few weeks, but I used this beauty last night and I had to share right away - for the maskers here with dry or very dry skin, or who are experiencing damaged skin or a compromised skin barrier, this is one you'll want to check out. Yes, it's pricey at $15 a pop, but it is good!

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Cream-Infused Mask 1 Mask / 1 Mask is a 2-piece Airy-texTM fabric sheet mask infused on one side with a rich, but not overly thick or heavy cream. It wears comfortably, hugging the contours of the face, soothing skin, and providing instant and intense moisture & nourishment. This is an absolute must have in the winter months for all but the oiliest of skin types, and a dream mask for those with dry, very dry or damaged skin. 

Repurchase-worthy? Absolutely. In fact, I already picked up a few more to hold me over until the spring sale.

We're only 26 days into the year, but I feel fairly confident putting it out there that this beauty will end up being on my list of best discoveries of the year and an all time favorite - I may end up with a few masks on those lists but I imagine this one will be very near the top of the list.

Oooh @itsfi just from your photos, this mask appears to be incredibly soft. I bet it is quite cozy! One to add to the wish list 👍🏼

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Oh this is wonderful!  There are still too many winter weeks left, so this sounds like a good idea!  You need to give lessons on how to do your graphics.  It looks amazing 🤩 

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, winter’s going to be here for some time. Just ask Punxsutawney Phil! 😉 This is a fabulous mask! 💛 Pricey but so good! 

[lmaster]

Great presentation!! @itsfi you're selling me on this one 😉

[itsfi]

Thank you @lmaster. I think your skin would like this one. I contemplated skipping my moisturizer because of how moisturized my skin felt but it's winter and there's no harm in adding a layer of moisturizer this time of the year! Brrr!

[sister13]

Oooh, looks/sounds so nice! I’m obsessed with your image layout! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @sister13! My skin loved this mask! 💖

[missy94612]

@itsfi 

This one sounds amazing but that $15 price tag, uff da! My husband agreed it sounded nice - everything on our face feels chapped with all the coldness - and said if you gave it a thumbs up at that price, we can try it, but after we finish up a couple of 10 packers. 

[itsfi]

@missy94612, lol. It's on the spendy side, for sure, but it's worth trying out if you can pick it up on sale.

[CookieGirl1]

A cream-infused mask DOES sound nourishing, @itsfi.

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, so good for dry skin especially this time of year when it's so cold! 

[Kim888]

Oh wow this sounds amazing and perfect for winter @itsfi !!! I love the elevation of infused masks - it just sits differently !

[itsfi]

Completely agree @Kim888. The cream-infused masks are fabulous. My skin loves them this time of year! 👍🏼

[CynthieLu]

I haven't seen this one around @itsfi this mask sounds fantastic, I hope to see it around Marshals at a good deal 😋 it's calling to my dry sensitive skin.

I have found so many great masks from this company, my favorite mask of all time is #Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber™ Masks 0.14 oz/ 4 g Ampoule + 1.41 oz/ 40 g Rubber™ Mask with Soothing Allantoin it works wonders on my skin barrier

I love that you found a new favorite mask of the year right out of the gate, how did you stumble across it?
