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
Two a days, those are some good skin work outs @missjeanie! Good for you, winter isnโt going to have a chance giving you dry skin this year;)
lol @eshoe That's the hope! Might be the only work outs I do... so I gotta make em good! lol
@missjeanie This made me laugh, because there really are so many people that are disgusted by the word moist.
That yadah snail mask is definitely a nice one.
Right @PrettyPaint lol! Gotta make the categories work somehow.
Yes I'm thinking second half of 2021 will be some not thinking masking with those Yadah and seeing if using them consistently impacts my skin @missjeanie. TCS has not been my favorite but that cica one was nice for me. Good luck with your 2 a days!
Sometimes it's really nice not to have to think about which mask to use @ShortErica I'd be curious to see how you end up liking them after a run of use!
well one picture worked from my computer. Lol
โ
@missjeanie I have a pack of the Yadah I've been trying to use up too - they are definitely great for low-maintenance masking sessions you don't have to give much thought to. ๐
I bet you looked super cute in the Tiger mask! Love the print/illustration on that one!
For unusual week: Mugwort & G for Ganghwa
I think I choose this from MOTM because it was unusual
Fit?Ok, usual extra in the chin. the eyes holes were huge but I just patted some serum in the areas that wasn't completely covered
Smell?pleasant, like a clean herb. Would i want to eat/cook with it? No. But I would be ok if my body wash smelled like it.
Consistency?silky, smooth clear serum. Soaked in nice without tack.
Ease of use?no issues
Would I purchase/try again?after researching what exactly this is...a plant...I would happily use this again. My skin feels nice & moisturized.
Those with allergies to plants, or preggos ๐คฐ beware. ๐๐๐๐๐

@sonnydee idk what it is,,, but I'm drawn to the word mugwort ๐คฃ
I've been looking at their mugwort essence so thanks for this review @sonnydee!
@sonnydee Mugwort is a great ingredient! Happy to hear this one turned out nice! ๐
Good warning for the pregnancy maskers @sonnydee . I like the sound of the silky serum.
I see it as a question every now & then on BIC. Luckily during my 4 pregnancies my skin was the last thing on my mind {it didn't really freak out & I had plenty of other stuff to think about with all 4 high risk pregnancies} but thought i would mention it because there was an abundance of warnings ๐ฑwhen I looked this up. Evidently it gets the uterus going either with miscarriage or puts you in labor if you want. @missjeanie
Buddied up with @ShortErica and did this Spirulina mask for this week's theme. ๐
Thanks to MOtM for this one! (I wonder if this is the one you thought you had, @eshoe ๐)
Biorace Intense Hydrating Spirulina Mask
This is a thin-medium cotton sheet mask that was saturated with a nice jelly serum. The scent is hard for me to describe - maybe clean + floral? I wouldn't say it was enjoyable, but it was tolerable enough. The fit was great and was just a little too long at the chin/jawline. It adhered well and was comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. There wasn't any tack after removing. My face felt refreshed, lightly hydrated and soft and smooth.
I thought this was a nice one, and I'd use again, but probably wouldn't purchase. The scent wasn't my favorite and I wouldn't say I experienced "intense hydration," like it claims, but it was overall pretty decent.
@Shosh85 itโs very possible! Iโve since picked up another, so at least I get to experience the โmeh-nessโ too ๐ @ShortErica @missjeanie
@eshoe I'd at least give it a meh+. I peaked at @Shosh85's review (tried not too because I wanted to be unbiased but couldn't resist) and that lowered my expectations so then it wasn't as meh as I went in thinking. No tack and a good wear get a thumbs up. Let us know your thoughts when you use it ๐
