💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[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!

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?

Spoiler

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?

Oh wow

Haven't been doing a whole lot of masking lately, because, you know, life just gets in the way sometimes- but I'm trying to get back into the groove of things 😉

Missha Talks Vegan Squeeze Sheet Mask ~ 82% Mega Nutritious

Material:

Super thin cotton, almost transparent on my face - possibly tencel?

Serum:

Thin milky consistency, and there was a little extra leftover.

Scent:

A very light coconut scent, that was pretty much undetectable while the mask was on

Fit:

It fit great - just a teensy bit too long at the chin/jawline

Wear Time:

35 minutes. Probably could've gone longer, but I wanted to eat 😬

Tack:

Very, very light. Probably lasted just a few minutes

Results:

Moisturized, super soft and smooth, dewy-looking skin. My face just had a soothed kind of feeling.

Repurchase?

Yes, absolutely! I really had no complaints about this one 😉


Ingredients:

I enjoy these as well @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

Oh, I didn't know you've tried these, @lmaster! The fun packaging lured me in! 😉

Not really following a theme today.  I’m doing the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate™ Intensive Exfoliating Treatment 5 oz  while banished to the bedroom due to Covid.  It a HG product for me when I have the time and am not soeed peeling with DDG peel pads.  I learned a long time ago that I don’t need to have an opaque green layer on my face for this to be effective.  I strangely love the burning sensation for the first 30 seconds.  It makes me feel like it’s working.  😄

 

[lmaster]

Oufff @heartsmyface i hope you are feeling betel!!

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster  Oh much!   there’s nothing like getting over being sick to remind you how good it is to be healthy:) 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Awe, so sorry to hear you were/are sick! Hope you're feeling better!

Glad to hear ExfoliKate works great for you! I still have yet to try that one!

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85  Just catching up on responses.  It’s been so long!  I’ve been healthy ever since though! 

oh wow!  No sample has ever made it your way?  

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  So glad to hear you've recovered!!😊

I actually might have a sample of this, I'm honestly just too scared to use it! 😅

Last time I used an exfoliation product I got a bad chemical burn that took forever to heal 😬 I don't even remember what product it was, and I'm pretty sure it was operator error, but the experience was traumatic enough to keep me away from anything exfoliating 😢

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85  Ohhhhh!!  Yeah that’s no good.  Ouch!  I had a fear of First Aid Beauty for a while after being burned badly by a soothing mask. It felt like fire that wouldn’t subside until i got some lanocaine on!  I still give them the side eye even though I know I likely had an allergic reaction.   It’s never happened again.  

If you ever are curious in the distant future, maybe try a dab on your neck behind your ear. It’s nice and sensitive there so you can get an honest feel for how it would work on your face but it can be hidden if it is too aggressive on you and leaves you red. 
It is a pretty powerful exfoliator though.  I like to think my skin is pretty tough and even I feel intense tingling. The thought of the extra strength one scares me. 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Oh dang! That's not something you'd expect from a "soothing" mask! 😯 Glad to hear it's never happened again!

Dabbing the product on another area is a great idea! Will definitely have to give that a try sometime! 👍 Thanks for the tip!

[AVAnocado]

I love Marshall’s I got the Dr.Jart there and I got SUPERGOOP!

[lmaster]

@AVAnocado yes yes!! That's the best place to score face masks

[heartsmyface]

@AVAnocado  They have some really great brands show up!  It’s always fun to hunt around for treasures.

This one was great! A new one I found at Marshalls a month or so ago

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster  Oh I saw these when we visited a tJmaxx in Atlanta! 

[lmaster]

Anytime I see a new to me hello Kitty @heartsmyface I can't resist 

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster  I get that!  Sanrio has the cutest designs.  

[caitbird]

@lmaster  cute mask, glad you liked it! Marshall's and TJ Maxx are great for finding fun new sheet masks.

[lmaster]
