[eshoe]

Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge! 

Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!

Spoiler

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?

I love this mask @Samtian. 💛🍯💛🍯 I think it may be my favorite mask from The Oozoo brand; or if it doesn't occupy the top spot, it's definitely right up there! I'm sorry it left you with an oily forehead and that some of it found its way into your mouth. 😬 It's always a plus when you can pop that capsule, but it feels like a lot of effort is required to o that! 🙌

[Samtian]

@itsfi Too much effort lol.

I'm playing catchup from last week (wash off masks), but here to report on the Elishacoy Tetraforce Wash Off Mask...

This is an interesting wash-off mask. It's a clay/kaolin mask, but it's not overly drying. It actually takes a long time to dry all the way down, probably longer than you would want to wear it. You can definitely smell the tea tree oil, but the main scent is basil according to my nose. There are little pieces of a leaf of some sort (perhaps this is the basil), though there are number of leaf extracts in the ingredients. All in all decent, but I could do without the leafy pieces just because it's a bit of a mess.

Ooooh the basil caught my attention, @PrettyPaint! Although, another clay mask? It seems like they are so prevalent. How about a jelly pesto mask😉

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Hehe - jelly pesto sounds interesting! 🙂  I do love pesto!

[eshoe]

Did you ever try Trader Joe’s Quinoa Pesto @PrettyPaint?  It was so good with pasta and roasted chicken!

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  No, I haven't, but that sounds amazing!! I don't have a Trader Joe's anywhere near me. I think I've only been to one once when there happened to be one within walking distance of a hotel I was staying at. 

[eshoe]

Really, @PrettyPaint? I guess that makes it very special, then. Sometimes it’s best not to have places like that close to us:) I miss having one near, but save plenty of money thanks to that!

[lmaster]

Sorry to hear it was a bit of a mess @PrettyPaint looks very interesting

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  Yeah, definitely a bit of a drain clogger. 

[itsfi]

The ingredients list on this one looks good @PrettyPaint 😀 and I'm intrigued by a basil scented mask. 

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  Good thing I like basil ! 🙂

Today was all about honey💛🍯

 I forgot how much I love honey potion. I think it is my favorite wash off mask. I love the warming sensation and it always makes my skin so soft. The BioBelle unicorn glow is my favorite BioBelle mask. It has lots of serum, makes my skin glowy and hydrated, and doesn’t feel tacky. I almost let it expire😬 I have to be more consistent in masking because I have several more that will expire the next few months. I wish they would make the Briogeo honey mask permanent, it smells so good and my hair loves it.

[lmaster]

I've not tried the briogeo honey hair mask!! @faeriegirl I need to, hopefully it will come back again

[haleyvvvv]

Yes, love the Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask , @faeriegirl!! It is definitely also one of my faves. Great honey line up!!

[PrettyPaint]

@faeriegirl  What a perfect honey grouping. I have all of these and love them. That's so funny that you mentioned the biobelle almost expiring, because I just realized I have several of these that are about to expire as well. I had them in my 2021 box and hadn't looked through it until recently. 

[eshoe]

We were masking twins with the Farmacy:) @faeriegirl 

That Briogeo mask is really good, and the fact that they brought it back for the holidays give me hope it may become a permanent fixture 🤞🏼

[CookieGirl1]

@faeriegirl I have a travel size of the Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask that I've only used once and there's at least a few uses left in it; I'd nearly forgotten about it so now that I've seen your post I'll have to "shop my stash" and dig mine out 🍯.

[Shosh85]

@faeriegirl  Oooh, one of my most favorite themes/ingredient! I love everything you used here...... absolutely agree they should bring the Briogeo Bear back permanently! 🍯

[itsfi]

Yes to honey themed masking @faeriegirl! 😍 Love all your choices here and I 100% agree with making the Briogeo honey hair mask permanent. I was happy to see they brought it back during the holidays but making it part of their collection year round would be even better! 💛🍯💛🍯

The mask I will be using this week will be the Aloe Vera from Sephora. These ones are the most hydrating ones.
