| 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. |

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗
Re-setting means cleaning and cleaning out; exactly what my skin needs right now!
Spoiler
Yesterday I woke with a rather uncomfortable blemish on my forehead, thank goodness for Peter Thomas Roth Acne-Clear Invisible Dots 72 dots #. These in general are just the best, because not only do they go to work on the offender, BUT they also blur it over in the process. Where were these when I was a teenager🤔
After discovering I no longer have a heavy-duty detox mask on hand I decided on a mask that would give me an oxygen deto. After a quick cleanse, I applied a thin layer of Pixi’s Glow H2O mask. I believe this one is now discontinued, sadly. Foaming/bubbling masks work better for me in wash-off form rather than sheet mask, as I have more control over how much/where it goes. I left this on for about 10 minutes before rinsing.
A quick splash of fresh Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner #, then on to the Skin Food Pantothenic Water Parsley mask. The sheet itself is incredibly soft, medium weight, and drenched in serum. The scent - slightly herbal? Nothing overwhelming, in fact if it was not labeled as parsley, I probably would not pick that up at all.
I did have to make a couple of slits at the corners of my eyes as the openings were slightly small. Other than that, the fit was quite pleasant. There was a LOT of serum remaining in the packet, plenty to slather over my skin halfway through my masking. During the first few minutes, I felt an almost cooling sensation, which was refreshing.
During a quick glance through the first few ingredients, I noticed second on the list after water is oenanthe javanica extract. I thought *perhaps* this was the botanical name for parsley, but when I looked it up, read it is water dropwort. This has apparently been used for years to treat a plethora of ailments, including abdominal pain, alcohol hangovers and inflammation. So technically, yes, it is the name for parsley - the Hanjae water parsley on the front of the package. Happy to have learned a little something today!
After about 25 minutes, the sheet began to dry, and I removed it. Only five minutes later, my skin had absorbed most of the serum and felt softened to the touch. I enjoyed this mask very much and would definitely repurchase.
Ingredients:
- I found these at Marshalls super cute set for Christmas
- The sheet was soaked in clear serum and the fit was really good
- A strong fragrance was detected, I'm not super thrilled to see fragrance so high on the ingredients
- Wear time was 20 minutes
- My skin did feel nicely hydrated, however my skin didn't completely soak up the serum, so I did have to massage it in to my skin after removing the mask
- Sadly there was no cute print on the sheet just plain white
- This one was decent, I wouldn't seek it out after realizing the fragrance aspect
