2025 Skincare Check-In Challenge: Week 2 - Share your favorite masks!

[TeamBIC]

Happy New Year, BIC! ✨ We’re stepping into 2025 with a crucial reminder: we must take special care of ourselves — this year and EVERY year. Some of us may already have set resolutions and/or stellar routines nailed down; regardless of where you are on your self-care journey, we could all use a few extra nudges and motivation to spend some extra time on ourselves! 🤝

Much like posts from previous years, we’ve come up with a list of weekly prompts to challenge you to strut your self-care skills. 💗 This time around we’ll be focused on all things skincare, because when our skin feels good, we feel GEWD. 🌟 We encourage you to participate and respond to the prompts that inspire you – and don’t be shy to share any other self-care tips and tricks along the way!

Week 1 (1/8 – 1/14): Curating the perfect rise and glow ☀ skincare routine to kick off your day 

Week 2 (1/15 – 1/21): Relaxing in your favorite face/eye mask(s)

Week 3 (1/22 – 1/28): Trying out tools to promote wellness (rollers, high tech tools, DIY massage . . .)

Week 4 (1/29 – 2/4): Adding some extra indulgence to your body care (baths, butters, oils, scrubs etc.) 🛀

Week 5 (2/5 – 2/11): Washing your makeup brushes, towels, pillowcases, etc. — whatever touches your GORG face 😘

Week 6 (2/12 – 2/18): Stimulating your scalp with treatments/serums (yes, this is skincare too!)

Week 7 (2/19 – 2/25): Sharing your favorite jumbo or refillable skincare goodies to get the best bang for your buck 🤑

Week 8 (2/26 – 3/4): Giving your hands and feet some extra love (masks, creams, exfoliants, etc.)

Oh this is lovely! I love this photo! It covers the bases! I’m inspired to try a foot mask! The Clarins looks like a great one! Your skin always looks great! I use the Tatcha The Kissu Hydrating & Plumping Lip Mask Original too I forgot to add that to mine but it works so well! Happy masking you have a great routine in place, happy your loving it ❤️ @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you darlin! 🙏 Oooh now that's another Tatcha product I really want to try @peculiarzmakeup! The lip mask you have really looks promising 🧡✨  Do you find it really makes a difference? 

[CorgiMommy]

Those Sephora Collection foot mask are so good for  pampering yourself @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Yesss! @CorgiMommy And they go on sale sometimes too. 😀 It's great to have a few of those handy in my stash. Oh, have you tried the Hand Masks?

[CorgiMommy]

The hand masks are awesome and great for severely dry hands @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I've only tried the Mango one, I felt the same. They were really nice. Thou this winter is the driest my hands have ever been. I regret missing grabbing a few of the holiday hand masks during the last sale. 😫 That was a mistake. @CorgiMommy

innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz / 100 ml I need to start using it regularly like I used to.

[Mellmars1185]

@greeneyedgirl107 This is a great one. Do you notice a difference in the product with the new and old packaging?

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Mellmars1185 they've changed the packaging at least twice on me.  I have the one in the ivory tub, although idk if there's more than one iteration of it.  All the versions have been pretty similar with results, which I'm super thankful for.

[peculiarzmakeup]

This one is a great one! I feel like it isn’t messy like I imagined it would be in the begfining and it lasts a long while with good skin results! Happy masking! How often would you use it? I need to get more consistent ❤️ @greeneyedgirl107 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@peculiarzmakeup I use it 3x a week on my T zone when I'm consistent.   It's my fave clay mask.  A tub lasts forever!

[Mellmars1185]

@greeneyedgirl107 It truly does! 😆

[CorgiMommy]

Go for it, looks like an interesting mask @greeneyedgirl107 

[CynthieLu]

That's a really good goal @greeneyedgirl107 Taking time for masks is sooo worth it. 🌟 How often would you hope to use this? 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu for years I used it MWF on my T zone.

[CynthieLu]

Ooh years is saying a lot. @greeneyedgirl107  This is a truly loved product for you. I hope you can squeeze it back into your routine. ❤️
