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
@Cissy63 I'm glad all those worked for you! I love the Sephora hand masks.
@Samtian @Thank you. I really liked the hand mask. I will need more of them. I had never used one in the past. But I can see their appeal especially this time of year!
@Cissy63 Everything sounds nice! I haven't tried this Purlisse mask yet, but I've tried the watermelon one and loved it! ๐
Those hand masks are great! I especially love buying the ones in seasonal packaging! ๐
@Shosh85 Thank you! This seasonโs hand mask package was so festive. Watermelon sounds great!
What a lovely multi-masking session @Cissy63! Those eye pads sound great - I like the sound of them being larger in size. Purlisse has some good sheet masks, such an underrated and under-the-radar brand. Fun fact - the founder, Jenifer Yen, played the villainness in the earlier Power Rangers franchise - a celebrity skincare brand! ๐ She's Chinese-American and combined Korean, French and Western skincare philosophies when creating the brand.
@itsfi Wow Power Ranger villainess!
The countdown to Christmas this past weekend included wrapping a few gifts and a couple of detox masks - an oldie-but-goodie Kbeauty clay mask that has made many appearances on this thread and a new-to-me hair mask received as gratis that has the potential to become an oldie-but-goodie.
innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz/ 100 mL:
K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL (received as part of K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Molecular Hair Repair Value Set โ Full-Size Repair Mask & Free Travel Detox Shampoo as gratis)
@itsfi Omg this is a masking match made in heaven!! I agree I was nervous about not adding conditioner after the detox shampoo and my hair being too tangled to brush but I had the same experience you did!! I can see it being a repurchase after all my other protein masks are gone!
@ather, I was really surprised that my hair was okay without conditioner. Wonder if that would remain the case if my hair was longer. Hmm...
Ohhh, your "other protein masks"? Let's talk. ๐ Are there any favorites in your current collection that you think is on par with the K18? Which one(s) of those would you repurchase along with the K18?
@itsfi I have a ton of the Olaplex 3 on hand. I got a bunch of the samples when they would pop up. I also have the Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Rice Water Protein + Moisture Strengthening Treatment 5 oz/ 148 mL I donโt know if itโs using the detox shampoo with the K18 or just that K18 is working so good on my hair. I donโt think they compare. I would say K18 is my fav and next is the Briogeo and last the Olaplex. I also like the Ouai mask but I believe it is more of a moisture not a protein mask. I often use it because it has a mask specifically for fine hair. But the K18 is definitely my fav. The Briogeo technically you have to have the protein and the donโt despair repair and itโs more time consuming to use where the K18 is so fast. So I think the K18 is definitely my winner. But I wonโt repurchase until after I use up all my olaplex and the Briogeo. Is there a protein mask I have missed? Thoughts? Favs?
I hope you have the most amazing holidays and you get lots of family time!! Iโm sure your niece must be over excited today!!
@ather, other than Olaplex No. 3 and Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Mask, the K18 mask is the only other protein mask I've tried. All my other masks are geared towards adding hydration or moisture back to the hair. I have maybe one detox hair mask and probably a treatment or two for an itchy scalp. At one point I thought about trying Kerastase Genesis hair mask but with all the jars of the Briogeo mask I have, I don't need any other protein hair masks for a good long time. Or well, any other hair masks actually. Hahaha! I think a decluttering session is in order.
THe hair masks sounds lovely.
@missy94612, my hair has really taken a shine to it. ๐
Lolololol. I see what you did there! You're so clever.
@itsfi Great selection of winners! I have both of these and need to try them.
Looking forward to hearing how these work for you @Samtian. I donโt need another hair mask but if Iโm going to have another one, itโs a treat to have the K18. ๐๐ผ
@itsfi Love that Innisfree too! ๐
@Shosh85, yeah, I try other clay masks because sometimes I just can't help myself. But I always come back to this one and a couple others. ๐
@itsfi What a wonderful hair and face masking session ๐บ. Excellent review as always!
Thank you @Cissy63! Both these masks will be staples in my routine.
Last night I used this Pink Milk Mask. It was expired so it smelled a little pungent. Milky serum. Thick mask. Face flaming red after. 10-15 min wear time.
Lots left on skin to rub in.
Greasy next day.
Mask fit really good.
Would not repurchase.
