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 ๐ฎ
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 masks๐
@WinglessOne I had to screenshot your remedy as inevitably it will happen to me sometime soon. Love the idea about soaking the bamboo pads, it sounds very soothing and now I have to go hunt down those, too๐
@WinglessOne Oh my! Poor thing! It is amazing how the skin reacts to products it doesn't like. I'm sure you are back to pampering it. ๐ณ
Thanks @tjffc! The funny thing (well, funny now; I wasn't laughing earlier this month) is my previous weeks of babying was done to recover from a bad reaction to a different product. Good grief... I'll be glad when I can see my dermatologist in person again, though I'm bracing for lots of lecturing. ๐
@WinglessOne Yes! The dermatologist is my favorite MD. They are worth their weight in gold and in my case a miracle worker! I'm sure you will just get a tiny scolding.๐
@WinglessOne holy ouch!! Chemical burn,,, do you think it's going to scar?
@lmaster I'm not sure if I'll have a scar under my left eye, but my right undereye is healing nicelyโslowly, but nicelyโso hopefully the left will follow suit. If not, well, I'll just have to up my concealer game under that eye. ๐ ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@WinglessOne Oh No! I hate when that happens. it looks like you have a good routine! I got a bit too rough with one of those under the skin acne spots on my chin and I've also been finding the CBD Herbivore oil to be super helpful in calming things down! Totally one of the best gwp I've selected from Sephora and I'll for sure buy the full size when it runs out
Thanks @Kim888 ! Herbivoreโs CBD oil is (IMO) the best thing the brandโs ever made. Iโm glad itโs helping you, too!
For P & K / Forgotten Wonders week
First up was the 7 wonders mediterranean mask sent to be by @eshoe. She sure has shared a wonderful range of masks and introduced me to different styles and materials. Biocellulose is always awesome and I wonder why I waited
Next were some eye masks from @faeriegirl - Panda Eye Essence Mask
And for a forgotten mask..oh yeah, remember I did all those Mediheal masks a few weeks ago, well I saved their combined serum in a jar and added a cotton mask round from @eshoe. I meant to do it during that week and refound it on my counter
Last up was a Kina jelly mask from @emaisgr8
@ShortErica The fraken mask sounds like fun experiment! Glad it turned out decent!
I really enjoyed those eye patches too! I agree though, they'd be perfect if they were the sticker type! Happy to hear they worked for you! ๐
@Shosh85 I'm thinking I'll use the tabs when I'm working though what I bought in 10 packs. That way I'm merging all the same serum. Though I'm sure more frankenmasks will be in my future too ๐
Iโve been curious about that Kina one, @ShortErica - thank you for sharing your thoughts on it! The Panda eye masks are very pleasant, I agree ๐
Happy to hear that the Leaders worked for you. When is still my favorite biocell, but this line is lovely, too.
You're welcome @eshoe. From this Kina mask I'd considering taking another to try out of MOtM but wouldn't buy a 10-pack if I saw it at TJ Maxx if that makes sense.
Yes it does, @ShortErica. 10-packs are such a gamble unless you have others willing to play a masking guessing game๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Used this Sunday night to finish my forgotten mask week..
I have forgotten to take a pic of the mask but i want to post while i still remember the details so screenshot!
The Creme Shop Chia sheet mask
Fit?this mask was thicker than the usual CS masks. It was also smaller. I ended up ripping off the below nose part it was really wide, they have been really plaguing me lately ๐
Smell? Typical sheet mask scent but strong
Consistency?very saturated & the serum was sticky at first . Not tacky but plain sticky! I skipped my night moisturizer because I doubt it wouldve helped..๐ณ
Ease of use?this is one that i did watch the clock. Its thicker so I did have to press it down a few times. I like low maintenance masking๐
Would I purchase/try again? I do have more &, the results were good, my skin felt good waking up & I wasn't sticky anymore. I hope,if they even make this one anymore, that the mask itself improved.
โ
But i do love the coconut/chia
My skin likes the chia seed mask @sonnydee so I'm looking forward to trying the coconut chia one. Sounds like it would be hydrating and moisturizing! ๐
@sonnydee Hmmm, I tried this one a long time ago, but I don't remember it being sticky. ๐ค I think I'll have to refresh my memory on this one, because according to my notes, I really liked it ๐คท๐ป It's too bad it was so sticky for you, but I'm glad to hear the results were good despite that. ๐
It did give me good results @Shosh85 & I think drier skin types or if I used this after being in the sun all day or cold dry weather would appreciate or not even notice the stickiness. There are a few that have heavier serum like this one & I use those after sun days. I'll probably try these out again during the colder months. โ
@sonnydee Yep, I forgot we have opposite skin types. ๐My skin is dry or dehydrated year-round, so that could've definitely made a difference
