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
@itsfi Well, "twerk" made it into the dictionary, so why not? ๐
Hahaha! Excellent point @Shosh85! ๐
@BaseballJen absolutely!! โค๏ธ
@BaseballJen Of course you can join in! The more the merrier! Also, don't worry if you're not on theme - we like to hear about any and all masks! The theme is just something we do for fun - and especially for someone who has an overload of masks, (like me) having a theme helps me to narrow down my choices a bit ๐
I haven't tried the Elemis mask yet, but I have tried the YTTP Superfood and I love it! It's now a bedtime staple for me! Glad you're enjoying them both! ๐
@BaseballJen, I 100% agree with @Shosh85! Join us!!! Please donโt let the weekly theme stop you from sharing about the masks youโre using. We love masking and hearing and learning about masks. ๐Looking forward to hearing about your masking experiences!
Green tea was my ingredient focus last week. As I'm working my way through my current library of masks, there's been weeks where I'll focus my attention on a particular ingredient. That ingredient focus also allowed me to get in the letter of the week and with one masking sesh, both challenge themes. To catch up on posts, I'll try to upload reviews for last week and this week's masks throughout the week. For the overall green tea theme, the C is for catechins, natural antioxidants found in green tea that has been said to help prevent cell damage and reduce inflammation in the skin.
@itsfi Loving the green tea theme!!itโs funny I was reading the lip mask amd I thought it said green tea steaming mask. Totally read that wrong. I was super interested in how a lip steam mask would work. Maybe Iโm on to something and should invent one!
@ather, you should definitely invent a "green tea steaming mask"! It sounds fabulous and I would buy them!!
@itsfi I will work on it and if I come up with anything I will send you my prototype!
Omg I had never heard of a splash mask, @itsfi!! I now need to immediately try. Thank you for the info. Your themed posts always have such lovely photos.
Thank you @haleyvvvv! ๐ Splash masks have come in handy for me. I was skeptical at first but they really do work. Boscia and Skinfood also have splash masks within their brands.
@itsfi very informative!! Great reviews
Thank you @lmaster! ๐ Iโm trying to be more brief but still be able to get in as much info so itโs helpful. Itโs a balance it seems. I guess Iโm just wordy. ๐ Iโll just have to keep masking and working on that. Hahaha!
@itsfi I love your word-iness! ๐
Awww!! ๐ฅฐ Thank you @Shosh85! ๐ค I try but the words keep coming out. Hahaha!
@itsfi So much Green Tea, I love it!
I agree, this line of Innisfree makes great daily/filler masks! If it weren't for the alcohol in so many of their masks, I probably would've tried them all by now! I was especially sad to see that the Honey one had alcohol ๐ข I've only tried 5 from this line, (the non-EX versions) and so far my favorite is the Aรงaรญ Berry. Which one has been your favorite so far?
@Shosh85, yeah, so much green tea. ๐ต And honey, ginseng, and snail masks as well. And ceramides, rose, etc. So many masks in general really. ๐๐๐ Canโt complain; I do enjoy my masks and most have been good to my skin. Iโm whittling them down though! ๐๐ผ
I think Iโve tried 8 or 9 from this line, including the honey version which I really like. The alcohol in it doesnโt irritate or dry out my skin but it does keep me from daily masking with just that mask. Hmmm... favorite so far? ๐ค I like the oatmeal and acai ones a lot. โฅ๏ธ I also like the bamboo mask from this line, very refreshing, a nice one in the summer.
@itsfi Oh, I don't think I knew there was an Oatmeal one! I liked the results from the honey one, but didn't like that I could smell the alcohol - I wish that was one of the masks they left it out
