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
You don't like kale @missjeanie?!!! I don't have it nearly as often as I used to - a few years ago, kale was the main veggie in my life. ๐คฃ It, along with spinach, served as the main ingredient in my morning green smoothies. I'd have it in salads and even made kale chips and kale pesto. It was bit much, I admit. ๐ I feel like I have this Farmskin mask in my stash; will have to look for it and try it out as a morning mask, before my makeup.
@itsfi I just can't do it. I mean if it's mixed into something I'll eat it, but I'm not the one ordering a kale salad. lol. I think I've always found it a bit too substantial for my liking I prefer a more generic romaine or spinach for my green salads and banana's and berries for my smoothies. I'm totally not the best at adulting with my foods. Cookies deserve to be a breakfast food dang it! lol I'm trying to be better the last few years, and generally I do much more balance than at once point, when a loaf of bread and cheese was a full meal, but I just can't do some of the super healthy stuffs yet.
I actually was reminded how much I do enjoy the farmskin masks last week. I'm on a bit of my own 'theme' this week but I'll be happy to use up the ones I do still have in my stash! The kale was for sure the surprise of the bunch.
I used kale in a vegetable soup and enjoyed it @missjeanie but don't think I've had it any other way. I need to use the rest of the bag. How have you had it? I doubt I would like it raw. Anyway, glad the kale mask was a winner!
@ShortErica I've had it in salads and as 'chips'. Neither impressed me. I'm going to chalk it up to just not being my thing. We can't like it all right? That said, I'd try another mask or skincare with the ingredient.
@missjeanie laughing because I LOVE kale, however in mask form, it never fails to disappoint ๐
Well @eshoe I've tried to love it, I really have, but I just can't get there. I love salads, I grow lettuces all summer, but I just can't do it with kale. I did do my unscientific experiment and have determined that my skincare makeup combo just works well for me. I'm back to hating on kale since it wasn't my skincare dream ingredient lol
@missjeanie Haha. I absolutely love kale. Especially the curly kind - I'll eat a whole salad of it. ๐
@PrettyPaint do you have a secret recipe? I swear I want to like it, I know it's good for me... but dang it I just can't get there... chips, salads, smoothies I'm maybe just not a kale gal?
@missjeanie It must just be a tastebud thing. That being said, I find fresh kale from the farmerโs market to be so much better than what is found in the grocery store.
@missjeanie Hmmm..... I'll be interested to hear if you get the same results from repeating the skin care/foundation combo! ๐
@Shosh85 I tried the same thing today without using a mask of any kind this morning (ya girl hit snooze one too many times). It turns out I can keep hating on kale.... the volition strawberry serum, mushroom serum, milk moisturizer and sheseido sunscreen with the Nars sheer glow, Dior concealer and MUFE powder were apparently the right combo I've been looking for. Dang it really is wearing well today too. I'm going to see how long I can keep it on for tonight and return the kale chips from my online grocery cart back to the virtual shelves.
@missjeanie Oooh, that does sound like a nice combination - though, I was really hoping the Kale was a contributing factor! Haha!๐
Horse fat for gross week ๐๐ด
Mediheal Horse Oil Proatin Mask
This is a medium thickness cotton sheet mask that was saturated with a white, creamy and milky serum. It had both mouth and eye flaps. The scent was pretty pleasant- sort of fresh & clean with a little floral. The fit was ok - a little too long at the chin and not quite wide enough by the ears. It was comfortable to wear, though the extra length at the chin needed some occasional re-patting. I left it on for about a half hour. After removing the mask, I pressed in the leftover serum and it had a tacky feel that lasted about 15 minutes. My face felt great - refreshed, plumped, moisturized, hydrated and had a nice glow.
I really enjoyed this one! Besides the horse fat (6th ingredient) it also has several other ingredients I love as well. Unfortunately it has fragrance halfway down which isn't a deal breaker for me, just something I try to avoid when I can.
I definitely wouldn't hesitate to use again though, especially during the colder months. ๐
Ahhhh @Shosh85, I remember using a horse fat mask a couple years ago, or maybe it was more than that, and my skin being very happy with me for choosing it. I've come to conclude that if most people find an ingredient 'gross' or not something they'd really be up for trying, most likely, my skin will loooove that ingredient. Oh yes. That seems to be the pattern.
By the way, I love that the brand wants us to know that this is made "with Jeju" horse oil. ๐คฃ As opposed to horse oil from another part of South Korea, or anywhere else for that matter. South Korea is on my list of places I'd like to visit and Jeju Island is one of the spots I'd like to go to while there because well, I feel like I need to experience it, what with all the reference to it in sheet masks and skincare products I use and love. ๐ My list of places to visit consists primarily of skincare places and food. I know, I'm so predictable! Hahaha! There are other cultural hot spots on that list too. ๐
Most definitely gross, @Shosh85 ๐ But isnโt that how it works...those masks are the ones that do wonders for the skin.
Love this mask, @Shosh85- I don't know what it is about horse oil but my skin just adores it. Glad to hear it was a good one for you too!
@quspork Happy to hear you liked this one too! So far the masks I've tried with horse oil have been really great! Would definitely love to try more ๐๐ด
First reaction: Ewwww thats gross! but glad it was worth having fat. On. Your. Face. @Shosh85 ๐ด
@sonnydee Haha! ๐คฃ๐คฃ I really do love the ingredient! .... it's not like I put straight up fat on my face or anything ๐
@Shosh85 I'm loving the results you got from this one! I haven't tried horse fat as of yet, but maybe someday!
@missjeanie I have loved the horse fat masks I've tried so far and would definitely like to try and find more! .... I'll have a nice lil' curated collection of horse fat and salmon egg masks! ๐๐คฃ
