💕😌 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 💮

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💗

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @itsfi  Agreed! 😊

[eshoe]

The actual material of the mask is sooooooo comfy, @Shosh85. I think you will enjoy them😊

Masks that make me hungry, Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vitamin C Brightening Powder . The scent reminds me of Tang. Personally, I was never a fan of Tang but this mask always leaves my skin brighter after use.

 I am currently using my final weeks of 2020 vacation. I am trying to use a different mask daily. I plan on going through my mask hoard.

[quspork]

The Fresh mask sounds like a good brightening one, @Loretta55. Good luck on your stash masking!

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @quspork . I am working my way through my stash .

[lmaster]

@Loretta55 I've always wanted to try this

[sonnydee]

What?! There is another scent that fresh has other than that cucumber smell!?  {and the rose line, of course} & it works great! Might have to search my stash & try that out @Loretta55 enjoy the remainder of your vacation

[Loretta55]

I find that most Fresh products are unscented @sonnydee or at least my sense of smell may be off. Due to the upturn of Covid rates in my state I am mainly staying home. 

[itsfi]

These Fresh brightening powder packets are great! ❤️ Enjoy your time off @Loretta55! And have fun going through your mask stash! Looking forward to hearing about your masking adventures!

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @itsfi. I am having fun masking.

[eshoe]

Tang is the perfect description, @Loretta55! This is such a pleasant mask to use. Enjoy the remainder of your vacation!

[Loretta55]

At least the weather has been good @eshoe . Thank you very much for the well wishes.

[Kim888]

@Loretta55 @Haha agree it totally smells like tang! Agree it’s one of the best quick masks for brightening though! 

[Loretta55]

I agree that it is my go to for quick & brightening masking @Kim888 .

[ShortErica]

Hahaha I can still see the 90s commercial. It's a kick in the glass! Glad to hear about the awesome results @Loretta55!

[Loretta55]

The commercial that I remember about a Tang is that it was the drink of astronauts @ShortErica. It is a great & quick brightening mask.

[MCSSavvy]

@Loretta55 @eshoe  @ShortErica  @Shosh85   I love That 70s Show. The running Tang joke always gets me.  I think they still sell Tang in the grocery stores.  We liked Kool-Aid more as kids but one neighbor mom had it and would occasionally make it when she ran out of Kool-Aid.  LOL

Anyway, if it smells like Tang I wonder if it is Tang?  😂  Or, stay with me here, if actual Tang would achieve the same results?  🤔😉

[eshoe]

@MCSSavvy @Loretta55 @Shosh85 @ShortErica 

Actually the first three ingredients don’t look too bad🤔

eta: oof I mean the first four, can’t forget ascorbic acid🤦🏻‍♀️

INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, FRUCTOSE, CITRIC ACID (PROVIDES TARTNESS), CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF NATURAL FLAVOR, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), MALTODEXTRIN, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, GUAR AND XANTHAN GUMS (PROVIDE BODY), SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6, BHA (TO HELP PROTECT FLAVOR).

[MCSSavvy]

@eshoe -- That ingredient list isn't bad at all.  If citric acid was lower on the list of ingredients I would maybe give it a try but I developed an allergy to citrus oil a few years ago.  Incredibly I can eat the citrus - I love cuties - I just can't peel them.  The irony. 

[eshoe]

That’s a bummer @MCSSavvy! I can’t imagine not being able to peel them, it’s so satisfying!

[MCSSavvy]

Right?!  @eshoe  

Every now and then I start to pick up a bag and then I have to put it right back down.  One came in a Starbucks protein box that I had grabbed on the way to my parents.  I soo wanted to eat it and had to ask my dad to peel it.  He just shrugged, peeled it and I ate it with a fork.  It's highway robbery to buy them pre-peeled so alas...
