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 ๐ฎ
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
@eshoe I love the colour of the packaging!!! Looks like a great brand to keep my eyes open for!
@ather if you do find it, let me know. I went to repurchase it recently and couldnโt find it. I did enjoy it, and made a note to try other from the line as well. Figures!
@eshoe Oh no. Hopefully itโs not discontinued. Iโm heading to the city next week. Iโll definitely check when Iโm there. If Iโm going to find it that would be the place ๐
@eshoe Ooh that looks nice! What color was the mask?
@Samtian my notes say it was a gauzy, flecked mask with a spicy curry meal scent. I wonder what you would make of it!
H is for healing
โ
@Kim888 Sorry to hear your skin hasn't been acting normal! Is your skin acting differently with other skincare/masks that you've used before you moved?
@Shosh85 @Itโs been a mixed bag! But overall I feel like my skin is doing that thing where you donโt know if youโre suddenly oily or your skin is all weirdly tight because itโs dehydrated
@Kim888 Oh no. I wonder if one place was better insulated or had a dehumidifier and the new one doesnโt? I hope your skin gets better soon!
Oh good ideas @ather - maybe I should just get a dehumidifier!
@Kim888, sorry to hear your skin is misbehaving; hopefully itโll sort itself out soon as you settle into your new space.
@Kim888 hopefully your skin will return to normal soon!!
@eshoe it is such a weird brand name - I didn't notice that!
I used this for last week's Flash Mask: Five Minutes and Under Wonders theme
@itsfi Not too bad for a one minute wear time, and the scent sounds nice too! ๐
@Shosh85, the evening masks from this brand seem to work better for me. I like the idea of a quick and effective mask but I'm not sure I could commit to a full month of these. I like that Saborino has these "daily masks" in 5 or 7 packs.
@itsfi Sounds pretty decent if you are pressed for time or lazy. Always good to mix it up I guess. Are the other masks in the night time category flash or longer wear times?
@ather, my skin does best when I have a consistent routine, but real life can make that challenging on occasion so itโs nice to have something to use when I know I should do a full routine but donโt have the time or energy for it. I can see how a sheet mask like this could be a good substitute for the steps between cleansing and moisturizer for someone with or who likes a regular routine that consists of more steps.
The nighttime mask packs from this brand say that they can be worn for as little at 60 seconds to 10 minutes. For the longer wearing masks, duration will depend on skin type as the sheets themselves are not particularly soaked in the serum - though the masks at the bottom of the full size packs are, as to be expected, more heavily saturated. At my driest, I donโt think I could see myself being able to keep on the mask for the outside range of 10 minutes without having at least one or two areas of the mask having dried up.
@itsfi sounds lovely for a flash mask
@lmaster, yeah, for a 60-second mask, itโs not realistic to expect it to perform a miracle but on nights when itโs hard to muster much more effort than to cleanse my face, these masks could come in handy. But Iโd still recommend following up with a moisturizer for those with dry or dehydrated skin.
