[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 💮

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💗

@Samtian  So happy you had success "popping" this one, but sorry it made you a little oily. I really like this one, but I pretty much love anything with honey 🍯 😋

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Haha yay for finger muscles! Honey is the best.

[eshoe]

ugh sorry about your tip, @Samtian! I remember seeing this in the store and the capsules were always popped🤨

[Samtian]

@eshoe Ah man that sucks!

[lmaster]

@Samtian are you applying moisturizer after your sheet masks? That could help with oily areas 

[Samtian]

@lmaster Yes I do. I only skip the essence/serum stage.

[lmaster]

Are you using this mask before bed? And waking up oily? @Samtian just curious

[Samtian]

@lmaster Yep.

[lmaster]

@Samtian I really feel like your skin is dehydrated, do you use any type of hyaluronic acid on a daily basis?

[Samtian]

@lmaster Oh my skin is dehydrated lol I definitely know that. I don't drink water. And no I don't, I don't know if I have any of that. 

[lmaster]

@Samtian

I think that's why you are having oily issues, my skin in the summer gets extremely dehydrated, I go through phases of drinking water 😆 can't stay consistent 😐

[Kim888]

@Samtian oh no on the mess! 

[Samtian]

@Kim888 Haha it was certainly and adventure.

I love this mask @Samtian. 💛🍯💛🍯 I think it may be my favorite mask from The Oozoo brand; or if it doesn't occupy the top spot, it's definitely right up there! I'm sorry it left you with an oily forehead and that some of it found its way into your mouth. 😬 It's always a plus when you can pop that capsule, but it feels like a lot of effort is required to o that! 🙌

[Samtian]

@itsfi Too much effort lol.

I'm playing catchup from last week (wash off masks), but here to report on the Elishacoy Tetraforce Wash Off Mask...

This is an interesting wash-off mask. It's a clay/kaolin mask, but it's not overly drying. It actually takes a long time to dry all the way down, probably longer than you would want to wear it. You can definitely smell the tea tree oil, but the main scent is basil according to my nose. There are little pieces of a leaf of some sort (perhaps this is the basil), though there are number of leaf extracts in the ingredients. All in all decent, but I could do without the leafy pieces just because it's a bit of a mess.

Ooooh the basil caught my attention, @PrettyPaint! Although, another clay mask? It seems like they are so prevalent. How about a jelly pesto mask😉

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Hehe - jelly pesto sounds interesting! 🙂  I do love pesto!

[eshoe]

Did you ever try Trader Joe’s Quinoa Pesto @PrettyPaint?  It was so good with pasta and roasted chicken!

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  No, I haven't, but that sounds amazing!! I don't have a Trader Joe's anywhere near me. I think I've only been to one once when there happened to be one within walking distance of a hotel I was staying at. 

[eshoe]

Really, @PrettyPaint? I guess that makes it very special, then. Sometimes it’s best not to have places like that close to us:) I miss having one near, but save plenty of money thanks to that!
