Derma plane prior to a peel-off mask to ease the pain of removal | heartsmyface |
Warm water helps remove clay masks quicker than cold | cianni |
Lay sheet masks flat prior to use so the serum is more evenly distributed | eshoe |

Use an HA serum prior to trying a mask with alcohol high on the ingredients list | keana1 |
Use a Makeup Eraser to remove wash-off masks | lmaster |
With a detox mask, apply a thicker layer where pores are | Ather |
Use a resurfacing exfoliating spray (such as Kate Somervilleโs Liquid ExfoliKate) before a detox mask to better clear out your pores | Miamia27 |

Lol I am just annoyed thereโs not a word for it @ShortErica! Would love if someone comes up with some mask language that describes it, like โscrubbiesโ @missjeanie @Shosh85 ๐
I usually go with moustache @eshoe , but maybe missstache for the ladies?? Lol
You got me there @missjeanie I love it ๐
@ShortErica The Green Tea Mask sounds great! I've been seeing a lot of Holika Holika masks at TJ Maxx recently โ I'll have to back and see if there are any left! Nice job using philtrum! Haha! It really does cover that area well doesn't it! There have been so many masks that almost literally have a string of material there! I'm glad it turned out great! Also, be sure to update us on the boys saying philtrum! ๐๐
Sounds good, @ShortErica! I love a good green tea mask!
Do you have a favorite @quspork?
Sidenote: why is this always my follow up question? I feel like I just want to steal other people's favorite masks. Is this normal?
Wait until mask hacks week, @ShortErica @quspork. I've been keeping a list of the tips and tricks everyone has shared here, it's going to be good!
Oh wow that will definitely be a "class in session" week. Might be a good idea to then keep them as spoilers on the main post for a handy reference @eshoe
Haha, I agree with @Shosh85, @ShortErica - it's totally normal! Stealing other people's ideas for masks is one of the best parts of this thread!
As far as other green tea ones that I've liked though, I'd say Etude House, Tosowoong, Sephora, and Ariul. You really can't go wrong with most of those brands! I know Leader's has one as well, and I usually love their masks, but I don't think I've tried that specific one yet.
I can't wait for the battle theme week @quspork. I think it will be awesome to see a compare and contrast at the same time. Sometimes my memories of masks are foggy and I haven't had that many masking sessions.
Oh, yes, @ShortErica. I'm looking forward to that week as well!
@ShortErica Not trying to speak for @quspork or anything, but I had to jump in and say think it's pretty normal! Haha! You're definitely not the only one who asks that! In fact, I'm always prepared for that question now because of how often @itsfi asks it! ๐ I feel like that's what this thread is for though! ๐
I know, I know. I can't help it, @Shosh85 (though I don't know if I've actually tried to help it or tried to not ask it, hahaha!) I'm just so interested in everyone's favorites. Because I know myself and I would happily just buy all the masks. This way, I can tell myself "this one is X's favorite so it must be really good and you should get that one." My wallet usually supports that but it's more like "yes, let's just get one." LOL!
I agree, it helps keep me in check too @itsfi. Though I think I may fill out the survey as if I didn't buy masks tonight. ๐ I need to see how many my spreadsheet says I have.
You bought masks tonight @ShortErica?! Ooohhh.... fun!
@itsfi I stopped by the Marshall's closer to my sports activities (vs. the one by work) to see what they had. They still had a bunch of Yadah. And despite my enjoyment I figured the 10 packs of each of the aloe, collagen, and rose I bought previously should be enough for my 1 face. But if someone else wants to stock up on them, I figured I would share that info. They also had 4 different SNP jelly vita masks which I considered. Super good price but I paused. @Shosh85 gave a thumbs up so I might go over sometime in the nearish future. The whole if it is meant to be, it will still be there philosophy. I did get the Oozoo bear masks, some decent priced eye gels to try since I've only used the Skyn and want to compare, and the esfolio foot peel. @lmaster is to blame for that purchase. ๐ I forgot to take a picture but will do it later when I'm home for the haul thread.
Hehe @ShortErica and you are to blame for my Dr Teals purchases that are due to arrive tomorrow ๐
@itsfi Haha! I actually love that about you! I also feel like it means you read everything the person wrote and are genuinely interested. ๐ I tell myself, "yes, let's just get one" all the time! After awhile it adds up ๐
"After awhile it adds up." Hahahaha! That it does, @Shosh85; that it does. ๐ The amount of masks I have is more manageable than before but still ... it's really something I could downsize more...if I wanted to, that is. ha! It's hard to imagine I have one face given how many sheet masks I have. LOL! ๐
I love reading everything everyone posts about their masks and their masking experience. It's like I get to try the mask too! ๐
