๐ชดHappy April ๐ท๐ Masking Mavens!๐ชด
Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐ Post as frequently or infrequently as you would like, with or without following the challenge. We love hearing about every masking experience, and suggestions are always welcome.
This Weekโs Theme: Clean Week ๐ฑ- Masks that give your skin a boost without the guilt!
Letter of the Week: Q
Mask of the Week Misc. Info & Previous Year's Links:
To Post:
Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas.
Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase. Don't forget to include a grade (thanks to @ShortErica for the idea) to help others along the way.
Most importantly, have fun and merry masking!

Thatโs a great idea for organizing them, @Shosh85. I might need to go through mine again, to weed out any lingering 2020 masks. Thanks for sharing your organization technique:)
@Shosh85 Ooooh. I like the name of this mask. ๐
@tjffc The name got my attention too and so did the refreshing-looking packaging! ๐
@Shosh85 Sounds like a great mask!!
@ather It was wonderful! ๐๐
@Shosh85 I LOVED that mask! Two months expired is probably alright in most cases. I get a little hesitant around the four month mark.
@heartsmyface Glad to hear you loved it too! I always hate to waste a mask if I don't have too - and I figured it was a good sign that it smelled great when I opened it ๐
@Shosh85 the light grape scent and niacinamide is a winner all around!! Expired and all ๐
It really was a nice one, @lmaster! I was somewhat worried I'd smell something rancid, so I was pleased it was a yummy grape scent ๐
Hitting D and W is the Dr. Jart Water Replenishment Mask.
Possibly the only Dr. Jart mask I can even consider using anymoreโand even this one irritates me a bit. ๐
Notes:
Claims: Replenishes moisture barrier; soothes and hydrates skin.
Ingredients: Matricaria flower water at 2nd place is good! Witch hazel at 7th place is not. Collagen, ehโฆ juryโs still out on that. But hyaluronic acid, cactus flower, panthenol, and olive are sure bets. What really impresses me about this list is the absence of yucky essential oils Dr. Jart often puts in their masks. Added fragrance is present, but at least itโs in last place.
Water, Chamomillia Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, PEG-32, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Glycereth-26, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Cereus Grandiflorus (Cactus) Flower Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Polyphosphorylcholine Glycol Acrylate, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance
Performance: This stiff, medium-thick, cotton sheet was covered with nearly all the clear gel serum. All the holes fit fine, but there was enough bunching along the sides to make me cut a narrow wedge out of each side of the mask, between temple and jaw, and then pull the sheet together for a much smoother fit. The philtrum was slightly too tall but I didnโt cut it shorter.
This mask smelled like baby powder. Not annoying to me or strong enough to induce sneezing or headaches, but very present. Around the 10 minute mark, I started to feel pre-burn tingling on various parts of my face. I stuck it out for another 5 minutes before removing the sheet. It was so juicy, I couldโve gone a full 45 or more minutes with this mask if I wasnโt worried about irritation. But nope, I only did a full 15 minutes and then spent 3 minutes massaging and pressing residual serum into my skin. I had no tack or pilling afterward.
Results: Well hydrated and mildly dewy skin. My face wasnโt as plumped up as itโs been after some other hydrating masks, but it did feel hydrated and a bit moisturized. This mask didnโt do much for my redness; eh, chamomile usually doesnโt. Unfortunately, it also didnโt soothe other irritation: I still felt a little tingling, especially anywhere Iโd applied my 9% BHA spot treatment. To calm that down and moisturize my skin, I patted 2 drops of Herbivore Emerald CBD Oil on my whole face.
Had this mask contained chamomile flower extract instead of water, and omitted witch hazel, it wouldโve caused less or no irritation. Since thatโs not the case, this mask is a pass for me. I donโt see this mask on Dr. Jartโs site, so I assume theyโve discontinued it. I wouldnโt buy it again even if it was still available. I have too many better hydrating masks that donโt irritate my face.
@WinglessOne Darn why must they use irritating ingredients
@WinglessOne I haven't been a big fan of the masks from this brand and there's only 2 that I'd repurchase if I saw TJ Maxx. If it's being discontinued, I guess it's a good thing you don't love it ๐
D&W is for Darn Why Did I use this already When I just got it and it is so Darn good.
Thank you, @eshoe!! I'm definitely excited to try more from this brand.
@haleyvvvv So awesome you loved this one!!! I have one in my drawer I may have to try it
Definitely when your skin needs a little extra tlc, you should pull it out, @ather!!
@haleyvvvv Happy to hear this was a winner for you! Mediheal makes some great masks!
Thank you, @Shosh85!! I have a bunch more to try that and I'm super excited!!
@haleyvvvv I'm so glad this one fit you and you loved it!!
