💕😌 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💗

It is pretty, @Shosh85! My only issue with it as I wasn’t sure which side to put in my skin! Since silver is in the title, I thought maybe something about the silver is supposed to be facing it, but in the process I discovered something new. I patted on extra serum, before flipping it around, which means all the extra good stuff went straight to my skin. Something I will remember for future masking;)

[lmaster]

@eshoe sounds like a wonderful brand of lip products!! Glad your skin is back on track

[eshoe]

The Henne Lip mask is really lovely, @lmaster. You can buy samples of it (along with the lip scrubs) on their site, too!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, Henne makes some lovely lip products. With the sheet mask, did you notice any of the sebum and blemish control it claims to provide?

[eshoe]

@itsfi it certainly felt like it was working on my skin. It didn’t feel drying, but it wasn’t your typical hydrating serum, either. I would venture to say that it served it purpose and would be one I would pick up again (or better yet, have in hand) to use post breakout. I think the fact that it has centella asiatica helps; I was concerned it would be too drying but that wasn’t the case.

These are the masks I used this morning. I like the feel of the When mask. You use it for 30 minutes, and it didn't dry out, that was nice. I only had a little bit of oil slick but my skin felt nice. I can see why it's a fave!

[lmaster]

Ohhhh moisturizing feet masks sound especially wonderful!! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster It was nice on and for a little while after. But they didn't last long on me lol.

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  So happy these worked well for you! When masks are great! Can't say I've disliked one yet! 😃

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Thank you, and that is good to hear!

[itsfi]

This looks like a great mask combo @Samtian. Happy to hear these worked well for you. When puts out some good masks. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you! I'll need to look into more of theirs.

[eshoe]

That When is still my favorite, @Samtian 🙂 happy that it didn’t irritate or otherwise compromise your skin!

[Samtian]

@eshoe I can see why!

Oh how I forgot about this skin saving mask!! Gifted to me by the sweetest @faeriegirl Apparently I forgot how well this mask fits. It adheres so well to my skin, and it fits perfectly! I'm thinking the scent was more of an herbal mixture not too strong and you don't smell it while the mask is applied. There is a little of extra serum in the package, wear time was 20 minutes, after removing my skin felt so smooth and my pores look so much better the redness seemed to subside. My skin was nicely and perfectly moisturized. This was a much-needed mask at the moment and a great one at that!

[itsfi]

@lmaster, this mask sounds wonderful! 😍 I've set it aside for some reason or another, but your review makes me want to pull it out of the bin and move it near the front of the queue. Hmmm... I just might have to do that - it checks off a lot of boxes - reduces redness, clears pores, smooths skin and moisturizes it? Yes, please!!! 😁

[lmaster]

@itsfi it absolutely is perfect!! 

[eshoe]

Goodness this is such a comfy mask, @lmaster ! Happy to hear it gave your skin the extra hydration it needed:)
