💕😌 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 💮

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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@eshoe, I don't think it's LE. It contains jojoba oil which I think you mentioned liking.

[missjeanie]

I really like the idea behind this mask pack @itsfi , shorter wear time coupled with a sweeter fruity scent.... I'm needing to remind myself that I am not in need of more masks... 

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, yes, must shop your stash!! I'm sure you have sheet masks just waiting to be discovered. It's such a nice feeling to have it whittled down to a more manageable number - you will get there! These mask packs will be around in some form, flavor or fashion for you when you and your stash are ready for them.

[lmaster]

I'm loving the sound of the sheet mask scent, and fig as an ingredient sounds awesome @itsfi 

[itsfi]

I was very surprised by the scent on this one @lmaster! In a good way. 👍🏼😃 The menthol scent on the morning version of the mask pack has a sharpness to it that I didn’t care for. This was pleasant - not too strong to put you off. It’s enough to remind me that it’s self care time, even if just for a few minutes. 💜  The brand makes another evening mask pack, with orange and chamomile as key ingredients. May need to give that one a try at some point. 😉 

[lmaster]

Ohhhh Orange and chamomile 😍

[Kim888]

I'll be super interested to hear your 28 day results @itsfi ! I feel like so many masks make claims you couldn't get from one use so I'll be interested to see if regular use produces the results 

[itsfi]

Will definitely keep you posted @Kim888! I hear ya - the greatest benefits from sheet masking come from consistent use over time, at least that’s been my experience.

My mask this morning. Happy to report I got it to pop!!! Huzaw! The mask had so much serum it went in my mouth and soaked my shirt lol. I thought I smelt a very very small hint of honey, could have been wishful thinking though. It felt nice but left my forehead really oily. 

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  So happy you had success "popping" this one, but sorry it made you a little oily. I really like this one, but I pretty much love anything with honey 🍯 😋

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Haha yay for finger muscles! Honey is the best.

[eshoe]

ugh sorry about your tip, @Samtian! I remember seeing this in the store and the capsules were always popped🤨

[Samtian]

@eshoe Ah man that sucks!

[lmaster]

@Samtian are you applying moisturizer after your sheet masks? That could help with oily areas 

[Samtian]

@lmaster Yes I do. I only skip the essence/serum stage.

[lmaster]

Are you using this mask before bed? And waking up oily? @Samtian just curious

[Samtian]

@lmaster Yep.

[lmaster]

@Samtian I really feel like your skin is dehydrated, do you use any type of hyaluronic acid on a daily basis?

[Samtian]

@lmaster Oh my skin is dehydrated lol I definitely know that. I don't drink water. And no I don't, I don't know if I have any of that. 

[lmaster]

@Samtian

I think that's why you are having oily issues, my skin in the summer gets extremely dehydrated, I go through phases of drinking water 😆 can't stay consistent 😐

[Kim888]

@Samtian oh no on the mess!
