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!
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💗
I let out a squeal when I saw the pugs on the packet of the sheet mask @Shosh85 - so cute! Then I went to read your review (awesome as always) and saw your photo with the mask - you make an adorable pug! Sorry about the scent - I find with sheet masks that smell like perfume, less is more ... or even not at all! I much prefer a fruity scent, or even that fresh, clean, signature sheet mask scent. Was the pinkness in areas where you are normally more sensitive or in drier parts of your face?
@itsfi Yup, the pinkness was mostly on my cheeks - my entire face is always pretty dry, but my cheeks generally seem to be just a smidge drier.
@itsfi Such a great way to take care of your feet! I need to look up that salt soak. It sounds amazing! SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Foot Mask 1 Mask is such a great one! My favs! Smart idea to wear socks so you don’t fall!
@ather, I always remember how nice a foot soak is when I take the time to do one. I used to be better about fitting one in on a weekly basis; it is so relaxing and a wonderful way to unwind, especially if you're on your feet for much of the week.
It was @Shosh85, and a reminder that self care can come in quick moments like this. I was out of town for work and got in a little earlier one night and made myself a little foot soak in the tub with some salts I brought with me in a ziploc bag.
With sandal season coming, my toesies may see more color. 😀
Ok, can’t not love this calming, soaking, shimmering toes @itsfi 🛀
@eshoe, it was a nice treat after a long day.
It was such a nice treat @lmaster; I need to remember to do it more frequently.
That sounds very relaxing @itsfi ! Definitely sounds like a good thing to do before sandal season!
@Kim888, sandal season will be here before we know it! 🩴 I should do a foot soak more often - I’m reminded of how relaxing they are when I actually do one. 😀
S is for 🍓🍓🍓
I used this one yesterday and actually remembered to grab a pic of the package before tossing it, so here's the Nobana Flower Essential Wild Strawberry and Chamomile mask.
This is a Japanese mask that claims to refine and brighten. It has a lovely sweet floral scent. I wouldn't say I necessarily picked up strawberry or chamomile but it was pleasant and not overpowering. The sheet itself was a nice, tightly-woven cotton that fit well and stayed in place easily. It was a pretty comfortable wear. The mask was well soaked in watery serum so I kept it on for over 20 minutes easily. It was nicely hydrating and my skin did appear to have some brightening around the cheeks and forehead. Not sure about the refining action. Overall, it was a pleasant mask and I'd happily use it again (or the others from the line), but I'm not running out to repurchase.
@quspork Sounds like a great mask! The packaging is super cute too!
@quspork Sounds decent enough! This is one of those masks I would've picked up because of the packaging 😉
The packaging is so beautiful! Sounds really nice @quspork
@quspork, the packaging is really pretty on this packet; definitely gives off those springtime feels. It's the first I've heard of a strawberry and chamomile skincare pairing - the results sound good. I hadn't heard of the brand - Charley - before seeing this mask. The brand's Nobana range looks like it has a lot of good skincare products to choose from, including their sheet masks. Do you recall if this sheet mask was thicker than most sheet masks you've used, or similar in terms of thickness?
@itsfi It was fairly similar to a tencel mask, pretty conforming and didn't come up during wear.
Technically there is a panda on the package...I hope that can squeeze in here for this week's theme!
Next was the OhK! Hyaluronic Hydrogel Mask with Vitamin B3 and sea kelp. As with most hydrogels, this was tricky to remove without it slipping out of my hands. I managed to adhere the bottom half to my face first while wrangling the top half off of the protective covers. The top was noticeably itchy, and upon closer inspection, I noticed one side had a crosshatch fibrous texture, while the other was completely smooth. Flipped it around and so much better. This was so comfortable that I left it on around 40 minutes before it started to dry. One thing I love about hydrogel sheet masks is how cool the skin feels to the touch after removing, and this was no exception.
Besides cooling and softening my skin, it had a pretty blue-green iridescence. This will also be a repurchase, and it renewed my love for hydrogels.
@eshoe Oh, both of these masks sound wonderful! Happy to hear you loved them! That little panda is the cutest! 🐼
