Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masksπ
This is for the theme of Extraordinary Exfoliators
It is Ole Henriksen's PowerBright, which is sadly discontinued. I really, really wanted to try it and dear @itsfi was kind enough to give me this opportunity. However, I do think @olehenriksen needs to bring this back - please, please please! I will make it worth your efforts.
So clearly I love it...
It comes with three little mask containers to be used in 3 stages: 1) a polish (an exfoliating sugar mask), 2) brighten (Vitamin C concentrate), and 3) glow (a melting cleanser).
Basically you put on the sugar mask and leave it for 10 minutes, massage, and rinse. Next, you apply the vitamin C concentrate and let it dry down a bit (~2 min.). Finally, you add the glow cleanser and blend it on your face. There's a nice, gentle warming sensation. Finally, you wipe it off after 15 minutes. It smells so good and citrusy!
My skin is sensitive, and I didn't experience any irritation. What I did experience, however, were some instant results (heck, yes!). I have never had an actual facial before, but perhaps the results are similar to this? My skin feels so smooth and soft that I seriously keep touching my face, and it has this nice natural/healthy glow. Why does this good stuff have to get discontinued?
Omg I totally forgot about these @PrettyPaint ! I remember when they came with like everything! I did really love them!
The philosophy micro delivery 2 step gives pretty similar results if youβre looking for options!
@PrettyPaint I love that feeling of instant gratification! Not many masks do that for me so it's always fun to find one that DOES.
@PrettyPaint Sounds lovely, I love most of the OleHenriksen products I have tried thus far. This looks like a great mask, such a shame it has been discontinued.
That sounds sooo luxurious @PrettyPaint and that you really had fun with it π€© enjoy the extra smooth skin! And the way you described the smell I bet it was yummy ππ
Oooh this is a fun conversation. I love taking the time to use masks, it's soul healing time for me when I make the time for self care and masking is soo relaxing. π₯°
There are so many on here I've never heard of or tried, I'm going to spend some time reading what you guys have tried, love and keep on using! I'm sure I'll see something I'll just need to give a go myself π
I'm currently experimenting with a few masks at home,
The Stem Cell face mask is a pack that came with 30 sheets, but I received a Jumbo one it has 60 ( I received it with my Dermabeam Pro LED face mask) I love that it came in a large pack rather than single use waste but it is tricky getting them out to use, they've all clumped togeather π
My favorite hair mask right now is the Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kindβ’ Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask 8.0 oz/ 240 mL thou I have it in the trial size. The Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!β’ Deep Conditioning Hair Mask is very good but my hair dosent love it as much as the Kiwi Mega Moisture. I also use K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Mini Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 0.5 oz/ 15 mL **ooops not pictured** when I need it, but that's more treatment than mask but it says mask lol
I received the City smart Peel off mask by Elizabeth Arden as a promotion, and i just ran out of my amazing Dr.Jart masks (I love them most of all!)
My absolute favorite is Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubberβ’ Masks 0.14 oz/ 4 g Ampoule + 1.41 oz/ 40 g Rubberβ’ Mask with Soothing Allanto... **not pictured**
I have 2 test size masks by Youth To The People Mini Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask 0.5 oz/ 15 mL and Juice Beauty KATE HUDSON loves JUICE BEAUTY Revitalizing Acacia + Rose Powder Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL to try at some point
And the 3 glow recipie masks I have right now are fabulous
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask 2.03 oz/ 60 mL
Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Face Mask 2.3 oz/ 70 mL
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment 2.02 oz / 60 mL **2nd bottle**
The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Grapefruit is so hydrating the little tester I have is almost gone, very awesome product imo
Lol, this is me saying hi and can't wait to read up on this thread!

@CynthieLu Welcome! I haven't tried that particular rubber mask. My experience with them hasn't been that great, so maybe I will need to give that one a try. π
Thank you @PrettyPaint Everyone has such different skin π mine defintley loves the k-beauty lines for masks. The one I use mostDr. Jart+ Cryo Rubberβ’ Masks 0.14 oz/ 4 g Ampoule + 1.41 oz/ 40 g Rubberβ’ Mask with Soothing Allanto... helps calm my red and sensitive skin and I find it just really gentle and plumping, great at adding moisture and my skin is for sure on the dryer side of the fence π
@CynthieLu Welcome to the thread, I think you're going to love it here π Some amazing mask choices that you left there. I've been wanting to try the Dr. Jart masks for what feels like forever but I have yet to pick any up.
I'm just starting to try out the GLOW Watermelon Clay mask and so far, I like it a lot π Looking forward to trying more from them in the future.
Thank you @QueenMarceline I think I will, this thread checks so many of my boxes π
That mask the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask 2.03 oz/ 60 mL is sooo gentle for a clay mask, It is really nice. I heard they launched (or are launching soon) a more potent version of thier Watermelon Sleep Mask. I love the original so I'm very curious about this new one. I'm a fan of GR for sure π
Welcome @CynthieLu! Ahhh, I spy some fun and fabulous masks! π Those Briogeo masks are great - my hair feels so soft and hydrated after using them. I think I have that Juice Beauty x Kate Hudson mask ... somewhere in that mask bin of mine - good reminder that that is another mask I need to try. Love Laneige lip masks; up until recently, I would pick up every flavor that came out, but I put a pause to that practice for a time to work through my other lip masks / lip balms, but I did pick up the new, limited edition LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Mango and have been loving it.
Agree wtih skin care as self care. I don't always treat my skincare routine that way but it really can provide a lovely, nurturing time-out for ourselves. Grab a cup of tea / coffee or other drink of choice, maybe a light snack, sit back and enjoy reading up on masks ... lots of masks! ππ
Thank you @itsfi I'm very happy to be here π I don't often use lip masks but I lucked into a trial size and it is the best! I was using a lip balm by Elizabeth Arden as a lip treatment (when it got wintery and dry) for years and it was good, BUT The Laniege lip products blow it completely out of the water, like left it waaay back in the dust. That line is really very hydrating and impressive imo
Letters of the Month: E - I
Uncle Bud's Hemp Seed Oil Collagen Face Mask
My Thoughts:
@QueenMarceline Sounds like a decent filler mask!
@PrettyPaint Could see this being nice for travel or on-the-go use. π
@QueenMarceline, the end results - soft, hydrated skin - sounds good. This seems like it might come in handy for traveling, or a nice way to try out the mask before purchasing a larger size (if the mask comes in a larger size). Is there enough product in the packet for more than one use?
@itsfi Personally, I don't think there is any way that one could get more than a single use out of this satchel. Unfortunately π
Interesting @QueenMarceline- I donβt think 20 minutes before total dry down is a great wear time ! But always good to have a filler mask around
@Kim888 Admittedly, it could have been a touch longer. However this is also a traditional face mask opposed to a sheet mask.
