💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

Spoiler

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

Thank you, @Shosh85!! I'm more of a Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask 2.25 oz/ 64 g gal myself in the winter. I tried a DS of the YTTP and wanted it to do more for my skin, unfortunately. I do have another DS, so I'll give it one more try in the next months.

@haleyvvvv  The pumpkin PTR is too sweet smelling for me too.

[haleyvvvv]

Right?! I wish just a bit less scent, and it would ideal smelling. @emaisgr8

Oooh, the PTR pumpkin mask is a fave of mine 🥰 and I so agree @haleyvvvv, that Origins mask is a sensory delight! ♥️

You’re a trooper for working your way through that PTR cucumber mask. 👊🏼 I know it’s well liked by some. I could never get it to work for me as a face mask, and have usually passed it along or found ways to repurpose it. Kudos to you for being close to finish it up. 🙌🏼 🎉 

[haleyvvvv]

Lol, one more week and its done. I just can't not use products, it feels wasteful. Especially when it isnt causing any negative side effects. I wish I had thought to repurpose it.  @itsfi

One more weejk @haleyvvvv? Yay!! For face masks that don’t irritate my skin but just don’t do anything for me as a face mask, I may set them aside for use during a different time of the year since my skin has different needs during the cooler and warmer months. If that doesn’t work or I’m just not up for holding onto the product for that long, I will try to repurpose them a few ways - 

* exfoliating wash off masks - either on my elbows or soles of feet. Or, sometimes, I may set them aside until winter time. There are a few times when it’s cold out that I will have some dryness along my hairline and I’ll use it there to slough away any dry patches.

* non-exfoliating wash off masks - I’ll slather some on the soles of my feet and pop on some socks for a foot mask of sorts. Same goes for the hands. If I can find my gloves for it, a sock works too but it limits what I can do.

[haleyvvvv]

Great ideas, thank you, @itsfi!!

You're using some masks that I love @haleyvvvv !  The PTR Pumpkin is one I really enjoy, I must have tough skin though, I tend to leave mine on for at least 15 minutes before enjoying the scrub action.  I do have the PTR Cucmber, but found it to be just meh, nothing bad, but nothing great either.  And the Origins Avocado and Swiss glacier water one reminds me of powdered iced tea every time I put it on.  It's my favourite product from Origins! 

[haleyvvvv]

I love the Origins mask, it is definitely one of my favorite of theirs, glad to see others enjoy it. I want to try the Origins Drink Up™ 10 Minute Hydrating Mask with Apricot & Swiss Glacier Water 2.5 oz/ 75 mL after my exfoliator but I have SO many masks. @missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

I hear you on so many masks @haleyvvvv ! I’ve had that one on my list to try out sometime as well!

E for so Excited! & Extraordinary! I saw these last week? at TJ. I see these pop up now & again, here on the thread & I've been curious. When I saw them,i had to buy them & after seeing aloe& honey...I bought all the boxes I could..2. And after smelling these😍😍😍I'm so glad I did! Fit? almost perfect, the eyes were a bit too small. I made it work this time & its not uncomfortable enough for me to have to cut anything Smell?Extraordinary! the aloe & honey mix...🤗 so yummy! Consistency? gooey goodness. thick,clear gel. after removing skin felt soft & moisturized, slightest tack but some piling also. Will have to skip my moisturizer tonight. And will only use these when my skin is Extra thirsty. it was a beach day today. 😁 Ease of use?no trouble Would I  purchase/try again? *$#& yes! Definitely having these as apart of my permanent collection💙💚💙💚💙💚

[lmaster]

Ohhhhh this one looks and sounds awesome!! Great find @sonnydee 

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  This one sure is getting some rave reviews! It definitely sounds wonderful! Happy to hear you loved it! 😃

[emaisgr8]

This masks sounds terrific @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

it was a good one @emaisgr8 i think all skin types would love this one.

[missjeanie]

Well if that isn't a glowing endorsement I don't know what is @sonnydee !  I'll have to keep an eye out for these ones!

[sonnydee]

@missjeanie I MADE my hubs sniff. he was hesitant until I told him I would bathe in it. he agreed that it smelled wonderful. I used the extra in the pouch on my chest, shoulders & legs💚💙💚💙

[itsfi]

Yes, yes, yes!! 🙌🏼 This is such a fabulous mask, isn’t it @sonnydee?!! 😍😍 One of my favorite aloe masks! 💚 I loved this mask so much that I purchased the aloe-honey eye gels from the brand. ☺️

[sonnydee]

I just saw those @itsfi might have to pick those up!

[itsfi]

Ummm.... @sonnydee, I say, dooooo it!!! Heeheehee! 🤣 
I told myself to save ‘em until September / October when we get our late summer, but I may just work them into the routine now and pick up another jar later. 😆

@sonnydee  I still can't believe you found boxes of Merbliss masks at TJ Maxx, and this reminds me to check my local TJ locations. Of all the Merbliss Wedding Dress varieties, this is the one I'd try (based on ingredients). I'm so happy these worked wonderfully for you (well, minus the pilling)—and you've got boxes stocked up!
