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!
Summer Sunshine - Ice cream ๐ฆ , sunglasses ๐ , SPF ๐งด, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?
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
Yes @ather I hear you on that. Best to play safe!
@eshoe Probably soooo many new releases coming too!
@ather. ask and you shall receive ... there's a set available from Farmacy direct โฌ๏ธ, and 20% off. I'm shopping my stash these days, for the most part. I hope that a similar set (or perhaps one in deluxe sample or mini sizes) will be available during the spring sale. @eshoe

@eshoe Me too. I have gotten a local friend super into Farmacy and she wanted the Farmacy 10% Niacinamide Night Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL but was sold out online. But they had it in stores. But itโs her birthday month and they didnโt have the birthday gift. So she was torn.
@itsfi omg thatโs awesome. Iโm shopping my stash too. I have a bunch of masks I need to use up first.
@eshoe, not sure how the concentrations of the honey, propolis and royal jelly in the new version compare to their volume in the original formulation, but the additional ingredients are good ones, so it'll be interesting to see how the new one performs. ๐
@itsfi this is one of my faves so I will be interested to try the new formula - hopefully it is as good!
@Kim888, I hope it's one of those reformulations for the better. ๐ค If you try it out, definitely let us know your thoughts on it.
Yesterday morning's masking experience. My skin is still acting up so I'm straying away from trying out new things, both of these products are tried/trues that I have been using for a very long time and I know will not cause any additional adverse reactions to my skin. I've been playing it safe with masking and products recently. Ps. Please excuse/ignore the dog hair, they're too cute to not pet and they like doing spa days with me. ๐
Letters of the Month: A - E
LUSH Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser &
Andalou Naturals Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Brightening Mask (With AHAs, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Glycolic Acid)
My Thoughts:
My Thoughts:
Pumpkin and honey? I'm going to have to look for that - it sounds delicious.
@nuinui933 It's one of my long-time staples ๐
Ohhhh pumpkin honey??? Yes yes yes @QueenMarceline
@lmaster Definitely one of my favorite masks, especially for morning or Vit-C focused. Most things I try from Andalou are hits. ๐
@QueenMarceline Ohhhh great products! I think I've tried a lush mask or two once, maybe twice... a decade ago? I'm not big on floral, but dang... the consistency of the lush cleanser sounds like I need to try it! Don't they make a soapy bath time play dough for kids too? Hmmmm... I mean... I'm a tall child, with a lot of experience.. Mayyyyyyybe I need to visit the lush site lol
That Andalou mask sounds interesting too... looooove some pumpkin masking!
@missjeanie Way back when they certainly did have play-doh bath products, I actually know exactly what you're talking about. They came in multiple colors/scents and even had a little "cookie cutter" type of product that came with it and helped you play around more. Not 100% sure they still carry that product but they do probably have something else that would catch your eye. ๐ I have a whole basket of bubble bars and bath bomb I've collected over the years. Some of them are huge tub stainers which is why I have so many I still need to get through-just don't reach for them. Definitely wouldn't recommend over-buying them like I did but they're certainly lovely as a little gift or a special treat.
@QueenMarceline hmmmm the Lush mask sounds intriguing. I donโt mind lavender, if it is not overly potent! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on both of these, this is the first time I have seen both.
@eshoe The LUSH one is actually a cleanser, but it's very "mask-like" so I actually keep it on lathered for a few minutes. Still very fun to try, I suggest getting a sample if you have a LUSH near you-they give out free samples of their products ๐
Oh yes, @QueenMarceline - some cleansers work well as masks, too! I used to use the Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm 1.7 oz/ 50 mL as a mask, the coffee-like scent was so delicious. I donโt have a Lush close enough to just pop in, but I have a growing list of reasons to go there, anyway!
@eshoe That cleanser looks lovely. I've really been into more gentle cleansers lately which is so unlike me. Always looking to try new things in that department. ๐ Also, hoping you can pop over to LUSH sometime I think there's a couple things there you might like.
The Andalou pumpkin mask sounds like something that would be right up my alley, @QueenMarceline. Who doesn't love a good fall scent?! I'm glad it works really well for you!
