This would match nicely with the Sara Happ lip scrub. 🎶if you like pina colada and getting caught in the rain🍍🎶
@l8totheparty Haha! Awesome! ... and you know I was singing that song while I had this mask on 😉😂🍍🥥🏝
These skyn Iceland eye masks are pretty good; I find myself constantly repurchasing, almost as if I'm on auto-pilot. lol. I like them a lot coming out of the fridge; they're multi-functioning also - a nice pick me up in the mornings and/or a great way to unwind at the end of the day. Not sure if the IGK is a true mask but I felt like a leave-in conditioner is basically an all day mask for your hair. lol.
I love leave-in conditioners as masks, @Anonymous! I’m lazy when it comes to hair care, so that or oils work😊
"I’m lazy when it comes to hair care" - that pretty much sums my approach to hair care @eshoe. I need something easy breezy; otherwise, I'm not really sure anything will be done other than washing it every few days. HA!
@Anonymous I love how often the eye masks are given out in sampler bags/gift with purchases! 🙂
Those eye gels are great @Anonymous!
@Anonymous The Skyn eye gels are pretty popular around here! These "dry" sticky type are definitely my favorite - they stay on so well! They really do feel so nice right out of the fridge! Glad you enjoy these 😃👍
I is for ... important?
Like many here, I wasn’t jumping up and down with excitement the first time I heard of snail mucin as a skincare ingredient, but I had read a lot of great things about it online and decided “why not?!” That was just the beginning! At some point in my skincare journey, I found sheet masks and shortly thereafter, I discovered sheet masks with snail mucin! <333 Looooove.
Sheet masks and snails have played an important (there’s my “I”) part in my skin care; it’s a product I reach for often to solve a myriad of my skin’s needs. So, given how integral (ahhh, another “I”…yes!!!) snail and sheet masks are to me, it’s going to be a snail sheet mask September! 30 days of daily masking with a snail sheet mask, and my snail sheet mask of choice for this endeavor is the Yadah Collagen Mask Pack, which I believe was first introduced to us by one of my fellow snail mucin sheet mask fans, the wonderful @missjeanie.
I doubt I’ll mask morning and night while daily masking, but I plan to squeeze in at least a few masks that fall within the challenge theme this month as well. As with my other daily sheet masking adventures, I’ll check back in from time to time with how things are going. In the meantime, here’s my overview of the Yadah Collagen Mask Pack:
It’s your standard cotton sheet mask in terms of weight and while the fit on this one isn’t the greatest, it’s not a deal breaker as adjustments can be made to make it work. I feel like I’m gaining some expertise in sheet mask surgery with my trusty mini scissors – hahaha! Adherence is good and the price point for these masks (thank you TJ Maxx / Marshalls / Winners!) make it suitable for daily masking. I’ve had good results from the essence in this mask in the past – smooth, hydrated, bouncy skin with a fresh faced dewy glow to it – and am excited to see what results I get with daily use. Daily masking here I come! 🙂
@itsfi I'm so excited to hear abou your snail month!
Aww, thank you @emaisgr8! It's only Day 3 but I'm keeping to it. 🙂 I'll try to post about how it's going every 7-10 days.
Doooo it @lmaster! 😃 My skin does see improvements when I mask daily. How often are you currently masking? I worked my way up to daily masking for a month - started at 5 straight days, then the next time I did 7, then 10, 14, 21 and then a month. I’m still trying to figure out what works best for me. At some point, possibly this year but more likely next, I think I’ll try daily masking for a month with rotating 2-3 different masks; the variety sounds like it might be a good way to keep at it. We’ll see how this month goes with the Yadah snail mask. 🐌
@itsfi usually I mask 1-2 times daily 😁 at least once I day, but usually different masks everyday
Daily masking with the same mask!!! @itsfi I LOVE this! I'm so excited to see how this works for you daily! You're so right, these aren't the best fitting mask, but at these prices they sure are a great option. I suspect come November/December I'll try a daily challenge if this works out well for you! So excited to see your results!
Awww, thank you @missjeanie!!! 🥰 Good to see you! You know me and snail masks! 🐌 The price point for these make them ideal candidates for daily masking. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 - we shall see how it goes!!!
I’m excited for you @itsfi ! All that mucin will be awesome!
@itsfi I love how you're doing this for the month of September. I look forward to hearing about your results. I need to find the dedication to drink more water as well (and lower my coffee intake).
Awww, thank you @PrettyPaint! 🙂 Based on my various efforts to sheet mask daily, it really does my skin good. Snails in September sounded like fun!
Oh my goodness, drinking more water takes work, at least for me it does. I've tried different ways to motivate myself to take in more water; some days are better than others. And, yes, I also need to make sure I drink even more water on those days when it's so easy to drink more coffee. lol. 😉
Enjoy the snail masking with Yadah! @itsfi
