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💗

@lmaster It's super nice 🙂 i definitely prefer this to the normal scents associated with foot masks like peppermint.

[itsfi]

@QueenMarceline, the holiday design and packaging of the SC foot masks are always very cute

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi They really are, loved this holographic version 🙂

[ather]

Last night I used this mask. Fit was perfect for me. It was drenched in serum and it made my face feel so soft this morning. I will definitely look for this one again. 

 

[eshoe]

Yay for a perfect fit, @ather! I do not trying I have tried the Collagen version from this line, but I will keep it in mind;)

[ather]

@eshoe  It’s sooo good!! I think I picked this one up on MOTM!!

[eshoe]

Oh, nice find, @ather! Even better that it worked out, then🙌🏼🎉

[missjeanie]

Oh @ather I'm trying to remember if I've tried the Collagen one you've done.  I quite enjoyed the fabric on this line, but now I'm liking the sound of soft skin! l'll need to try this version. 

[ather]

@missjeanie  Yes. I agree. I like the fabric also! Perfect fit!

[lmaster]

Great results!! @ather 

[itsfi]

@ather, soft, hydrated skin this time of the year is a great results! 😊 Have you tried any of the other sheet masks from Rael?

[ather]

@itsfi  Sadly I have not. Although if I see any I will definitely pick them up. But I need to get through my current stash before I seek any out!

[QueenMarceline]

@ather I'm loving the packaging of that, so pretty and eye-catching. Seems like a very good mask that worked out quite good for you as well 🙂

[ather]

@QueenMarceline  I’m very dry most of the year so it was great for me!!!

Targeted skin concern: I feel like my skin has been kind of congested, clogged pores, etc. I attribute this most likely to mask wearing at work. 

I feel like I went a little bit overboard, but here's what I did:

-Freeman's Oil Absorbing Mint + Lemon Clay Mask. I actually like this one quite a bit. As long as I put on a thin layer, it dries down but doesn't get too uncomfortable or cracky. It did a nice job getting rid of some of the blemishes and clogged pores on my face.

-I also used the Fresh Food for Skin Purifying in Fig. I didn't really notice a particularly fig-like smell, but it's possible I just didn't pay enough attention. My face felt clean after wearing it, and it seemed to adhere to my skin pretty well. 

-The Look At Me aloe eye patches adhered very well and seemed to smooth the eye area a bit, but the adhesive was almost so strong that it was uncomfortable for such a delicate area (in my opinion). They also didn't seem to be very moisturizing. I probably wouldn't care to use these again. 

-Skinfood Strawberry Food therapy. This provides gentle exfoliation, and my skin feels much smoother. It smells like strawberries and washes off nice and easily without a mess. This is definitely a repurchase for me.

-NOHJ Pore Bubble Mask: It did seem to clean out my pores a bit, but it did get pretty bubbly which always freaks me out a bit. The bubbles started getting my eyes, so I had to take it off a bit early. It seemed fine for a bubble mask if that's your thing, though! 🙂

**I don't know if it was the combination of everything or what, but my skin does seem a lot smoother and less congested with fewer blemishes, blackheads, etc. I was afraid my face would be raw and dried out, but surprisingly no damage was done! 

[eshoe]

Bubbling sheet masks scare me, @PrettyPaint. They are fun, then funny, then they morph to develop a mind of their own it seems😄 Happy to hear your skin took to everything well!

[missjeanie]

Overboard?  Don't know the meaning of the word! lol.  @PrettyPaint  sounds like your skincare wether overboard or not worked, and that's what counts!  

[lmaster]

You're so funny with your bubble masks!! Glad everything worked out well for your skin 🙂 @PrettyPaint 

[itsfi]

@PrettyPaint, good  to know the bubble mask gave you nice results but ack! 😱 You described my biggest concern about bubble masks - getting the solution into the eyes. 

Love that Skinfood strawberry scrub! ♥️ It smells delicious and does a lovely job of exfoliating and leaving skin soft. 🍓 

[ather]

@PrettyPaint  I agree with you with the bubble masks. I like them but they overwhelm me if it gets too intense so I usually end up taking it off early. But I do quite enjoy them!! Sounds like these have fixed your pores up. I like the clay masks to unclog my pores but I can’t use them this time of year since they are so drying and my skin is usually too dry as it is.

Targeted skin concern: Moisturizing

 

• @eshoe I'm pretty sure you gifted this super cute beauty to me 😊😘
• You take the cute spoon and mix it all up, lol like deviled eggs 🤣
• It's an overnight mask, so I applied it, and left it on until the morning
• I did feel it tightening a bit
• After I rinsed it off the next morning, my skin felt so very balanced and soft.
• I can't say the moisturizing effects were noticed at all
• With that being said, I still enjoyed the final benefits and would absolutely use this one again
