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.)

Relaxing in your favourite face/eye masks 

I added a couple foot masks in the spirit of masking ☺️. I would also say that these are my current masks. I will put an 🌟 beside my favourites.

LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex™ .7 oz / 20 g - I use this a few nights a week right now. This is a new product to me that I just opened. I received it at Sephoria. So far I have been liking it. It is a thick gel consistency.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Sleepair Intensive Night Mask 2.53 oz / 75 ml 🌟(mine is 100 mL) - I have been loving this. I have been using this nightly all winter. It is also a gel consistency and absorbs nicely into my skin. 

innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz / 100 ml (mine is in the darker container).🌟 - This has been gentle enough to use on my skin in the winter. Although I am ready to open a new mask, I would definitely repurchase this one!

Whish Exfoliating Foot Mask - I have been applying this in the colder months (when I remember) underneath socks a bedtime.

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Eggnog Latte 🌟 - I use this nightly. I like that it is clear and does not stain my silk pillow case.

Another favourite, but not pictured is the Sephora Caffinated Eye Patches🌟

I included the Baby Foot Exfoliating Foot Peel (that I picked up on a shopping trip with fellow BICer's during Sephoria). I haven't used it yet. I am going on a trip mid February. I am wondering when the best time is to use it. I am thinking this weekend?

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  Oh, that Dr. Jart Night Mask is such a great one! I've only ever had samples, but I really enjoyed it! Thanks for reminding me I wanted to by the full size 😉👍

Have you tried the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair ™ Sensitive Skin Serum Face Mask for Redness 1 Mask / pack 

[Mellmars1185]

@Shosh85 I have not tried it but I have it! And I just realized I have the PTR Pumpkin mask in the Peter Thomas Roth Mini Mask Multiverse 4-Piece Mask Kit !! I should at least try one this weekend!

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  Yup, the pumpkin one is by far my most favorite out of that kit! The scent alone is reason enough for me to buy it. 😋 In the summertime the cucumber (soothing) one is pretty refreshing, especially for sunburns 😉

They used to make a bigger mask set that had like 6 or 7 minis in it, and one of them was the Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask 5 oz which was also pretty good too. 

[CorgiMommy]

@Mellmars1185 great masks, LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex™ .7 oz / 20 g is a nice product.  It is part of my nightly skin care routine. 

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Thank you! It really is a 'bouncy' mask, isn't it?

[CorgiMommy]

I have seen my eye area looking better in the morning after using this mask.  @Mellmars1185 

[peculiarzmakeup]

These are all splendid choices! I love the ingridients in the names! Egg nog latte sounds so soothing and like a Great smell! That foot mask looks amazing! Happy masking ❤️ @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thanks! An egg nog latte is one of my favourite things of life. So naturally, I had to pick this one up. It is LE, so I am glad I did!

[semac]

For combination skin, I have found the Zit Sticka Press Refresh mask to be so great! It is a cool, soothing jelly base on a skin sticking "graphene" material that tackles redness, acne, dryness, and discoloration all in one refreshing 20 minutes. I can only find it on the brand's website now, but is totally worth it - especially as an add on when getting their patches which are hands down best on the market.

[CorgiMommy]

Nice to find something that works for you @semac 

[peculiarzmakeup]

I love the information you gave it is so helpful! Happy masking! 😁 @semac 

[Mellmars1185]

@semac Thanks for sharing! I have not heard of this mask before. It sounds like a wonderful mask. Tacking acne and redness is something I need every once in a while!

# Dr Jart cicapair mask

Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution™ PRO Glow Face Mask with Hyaluronic Acid 0.91 oz / 26 g 

VT cica mask

BUT.....My fav will always be Sephora Collection Caffeine Eye Masks ☕🥲, bring them back

[Shosh85]

@danielledanielle  The Dr. Jart+ Cicapair ™ Sensitive Skin Serum Face Mask for Redness 1 Mask / pack  is such a great one! I've been seeing that one and the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Cream-Infused Mask 0.63 oz / 18 ml at TJ Maxx and Marshall's, so I assumed they were discontinued.... but it looks like they were just repackaged? So glad to see Sephora is selling them!

[CynthieLu]

Hum, I think Sulwhasoo is one I'd try @danielledanielle you really like it? And yes, please let the Sephora Collection caffeine eye mask return to the shelves. From your lips to whomever's ears can make that happen. 🙏

[CorgiMommy]

I agree about the sephora collection eye masks,  they worked  miracles.  @danielledanielle 

[peculiarzmakeup]

These are fantastic choices I’ve been seeing a lot about the Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches  I gotta give those a go! @danielledanielle ❤️

[Mellmars1185]

@danielledanielle Nice lineup! I have the PMG eye masks I got during the Winter sale that I still need to try. When do you normally apply them?
