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
Yes, we are @lmaster! Yes, we are! ๐๐คฃ๐ ๐๐๐
Iโm actually surprised we havenโt heard of this band yet, @itsfi - love your take on the snail-inspired band name! What a fun theme @PrettyPaint suggested ๐ฅฐ
Well @eshoe, if I were to hazard a guess, it's likely because The Gastropods move at a snail's pace. ๐คฃ I'm sure the band will be topping the charts any day now...
@itsfi "The Gastropods" is an excellent band name! Haha! I love it! ๐
I'm kinda partial to it myself, as well @Shosh85! ๐๐๐ I suspect the band will have a bigger following in some countries over the other. ๐คฃ First tour stop, the Jeju Islands!
The Gastropods!!! I love this one @itsfi ! I can be in this band? I can't sing. And I can't play an instrument. Maybe I could be a groupie?
I've always just assumed you were part of The Gastropods @missjeanie! ๐ I'm sure we can find you a musical instrument to play. A zipper can be a musical instrument, as can your hands.
@itsfi The Gastropods! I love it so much! Do you have a favorite snail sheet mask?
A favorite snail mask @PrettyPaint? I don't know if I have just one. ๐ Ones I'm currently loving are:
Jin Jung Sung x CrediThink Snail Honey Jelly Mask - @Shosh85 introduced me to this and I love it - snail + honey + jelly serum, yes please! I love that you can pick this up on amazon too!
JMsolution Active Pink Snail Brightening Mask Prime - this mask is a recent discovery and a new love; I picked it up a few at a local Asian beauty boutique pre-covid. It was more I went in a few times and somehow ended up picking up this mask each time. My mistake will come in handy. lol.
Etude House 0.2mm Therapy Air Mask - love how thin the material is and it's affordable
Leaders Snail Therapy Skin Clinic Mask
TonyMoly has two lines with snail masks I like - one is the Master Lab line and the other is the Prestige Jeju line
Tosowoong, CosRx, Missha and Naruko also have snail masks that I really like as well.
Yadah Collagen Mask (it's got snail in it)
Any of the snail sheet masks from the Elensilia Intracell brand have been good to my skin.
Just typing this out makes me think I could do a month's worth of masking with a bunch of different snail masks if I wanted to. Hmmm.... ๐ค
Do you have snail masks that you like?
@itsfi Oh my goodness - this list is perfect. Thanks so much for listing all that out. I didn't mean to ask such a long question! ๐
I feel like I haven't tried as many snail masks as I would like, but they are so, so nice. I think the one I recall liking a lot is Missha's Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Hydro Gel Mask. I liked the yadah too. I'm seriously going to go through your list and try some of these, though. That CrediThink one sounds awesome - I think I'll add that to my next amazon order!!
Not a problem @PrettyPaint; happy to help. ๐ค It was a good opportunity for me to look at my masks and think about which snail ones I've been enjoying. ๐ It also made me go through my skincare bin and I think I may be able to put together a routine centered on l'escargot! ๐ I've never done a full routine with snail products (or having the majority of my routine be snail mucin based) but I think my skin would love it; thank you so much for inspiring that. ๐
Oh, I forgot to add the It's Skin also makes a couple of snail mucin masks that I love; both are part of the brand's Prestige collection - one is a 2-step, with a sheet mask and undereye gel patches, and the other is a mask that contains snail mucin and ginseng.
The Gastropods is a great one! The Escar Go Goโs popped in my head after you saying that. Not nearly as good. @itsfi
I like Escar Go Got too @Weetart !! I picture a 60's throwback group in shiny pink dresses, big beehive hair and white go go boots. Always wanted white go go boots....
"Always wanted white go go boots...."
Do it @missjeanie! ๐ It could be part of your fashion resolutions for 2021.
Bahahaha @itsfi I'm not too sure I could quite pull them off.... never know though... never know.
@Weetart, The Escar Go Go's is an awesome name. ๐ Super fun! It's just as good if not better than The Gastropods. I actually like The Escar Go Go's more - it has more whimsy and pizzazz to it. ๐
Challenge Theme: Mask that would make a good band name
Band Name: The Beets (Get it? Beats ... Beets) ๐๐คฃ๐
Thanks again for the fabulous theme @PrettyPaint! Got some veggies and masking in all at the same time! ๐ I have The Go-Go's We Got The Beat in my head now. ๐
Ok @itsfi did you ever watch the nickelodeon cartoon called Doug?? They literally had a band called the beets ๐
โ
@lmaster, how did I miss that Doug had a band named "The Beets"? I've seen a handful of episodes. They were ahead of their time. ๐
