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
@Cissy63 Yup, definitely a fun one! Can't go wrong with unicorns! ๐ฆ๐
This Iโm From Mugwort Sheet Mask is a spectacularly soothing sheet mask for sensitive (or any type of) skin! ๐ฟ
The super soft, ultra thin, 100% plant-based Iโm From Mugwort Sheet Mask is soaked but not overflowing in a clear, slightly viscous, light brown tinted, faintly herbal scented essence consisting of 91.45% !!! pure mugwort essence.
Adherence was beautiful, with the softness and thinness of the material lending itself to that much beloved second skin feel. Fit along the perimeter is standard - similar to most Korean sheet masks - too long at the chin/jawline and just a smidge too wide at the temples. Openings for the eyes and mouth were well positioned and sized.
As with other sheet masks, I left this one on for an half hour. The thin layer of essence remaining on the oilier parts of my face absorbs quickly, without tack or stickiness. My skin looks and feels soft, smooth, hydrated, and supple, with a nice bounce to it. What redness I had around the sides of my nose and on my cheeks appears soothed and diminished, while my overall complexion looks refreshed, brightened, and more awake.
This is truly an outstanding sheet mask. The Iโm From mugwort line has a wash off mask as well as an essence that Iโve been meaning to try, and my experience with this sheet mask makes me want to get a hold of each of those products asap, along with another of this sheet mask! A definite repurchase! Highly recommend.
Wow, that's a really high percentage of something other than water. I need to get my hand on that.
Ok convince no more,, I have to try this one @itsfi
This sounds like a big winner @itsfi
I've never heard of this line, or even mugwort specifically for skin soothing or redness calming.
Love masks that help out and reduce redness. This sounds wonderful! Great info, thank you!
@CynthieLu, soothing masks are always good to have on hand. ๐๐ผ Mugwort has a few different names - artemisia and wild wormwood are a couple of them. Itโs a skincare ingredient thatโs been around on K-Beauty for a while; Iโve only become familiar with it in the last couple of years.
I'm going to commit it to memory ๐ when I am out and about if I see any in anything with it in it.
100% yes. Always a good idea to have soothing remedies just in case you need them. โจ๏ธ
My bf's sister loves the I'm From things. I'll have to see if she has this one; it sounds like a nice soothing mask. Is the mochi filled with mugwort?
@nuinui933, I havenโt tried everything in the Iโm From line but what I have tried, Iโve enjoyed. ๐ This was wonderfully soothing; my skin liked it. ๐๐ผ I thought the mochi was filled with some sort of mugwort paste l, which would have been a first for me, but it turns out, that the mochi has mugwort powder in it. Itโs filled with red bean paste.
@itsfi This sounds wonderful for sensitive skin ๐
@Cissy63, it is! Mugwort is known for its soothing properties and the soft and thin material do not irritate the skin. ๐๐ผ
@itsfi Well, you definitely sold me on this one! It sounds amazing! ๐ 91.45% is kinda an odd number though ๐
This is a good one @Shosh85! ๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐ I think the offbeat percentage just makes it more interesting. Ha! I've come up with different theories in my head as to the reason for it - nothing to back it up other than just theories in my head. ๐ A part of me thinks there must be a reason for it, but at the same time, another part of me hopes it's just something that happened to work out.
A while back I had gotten a sample of the Lush Beauty Sleep mask with an order. I think I got a bad batch. It looks absolutely nothing like the pictures on the website. It's really dry and this is what it looks like...I like pairing it with the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer 5 oz That stuff is amazing. If I'm ever near a Lush store I'll have to see what the mask looks like there before I ever order a full size. It smells absolutely divine though.
@Samtian is it supposed to be mixed with a little of water? I've never heard of this one before
Nope! lushusa dot com /face/masks/beauty-sleep/9999960254 dot html
No I would not use that product @Samtian! Something is wrong with it. I have to agree with you about PTR. Excellent ๐
@Samtian Lush definitely has some nice smelling products! - too bad that was all this one had to offer ๐
Love that PTR mask - it's one of my most favorites! ๐
@Shosh85 Lush smells too good for my wallet. The Pumpkin ah HG for sure.
Yes to that PTR pumpkin enzyme mask @Samtian - love that stuff! ๐ That's too bad about the Lush mask. It does look very dry. I wonder if it's just gone bad - many of their masks have a very short shelf life.
@itsfi Possibly, it looked like that when I got it though. I'm trying to power through it lol.
