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
Masking with tir a mi su and ice cream and prosecco... @itsfi it's like you just get me.
Hahaha @missjeanie! I must say, you have excellent taste! ๐ Just you wait though, I have another yummy one from last week that I still need to post about. So much catching up...
Ohhhh didn't know about these masks @itsfi
@lmaster, I only discovered them late last year! They seem to have a new collection out as well that I might take a closer look into later in the spring. My across the board "no-buy" (well, except for food!) has been completed but I had planned on keeping to a sheet mask no-buy through March, just to get the stash down a smidge further. We'll see how that goes.
How yummy @itsfi , it all sounds like a perfect day! ๐ I bet the mask is very nice ! ๐ฅand on your no- buy too!
Thank you @Sunnysmom! And thank you again for help with the theme. ๐ค Looking back, I probably should have devoted more time trying different proseccos and gelato flavors... you know, to make sure I picked the right one. Hahaha! I'll practice more next time. ๐คฃ
Ahhh, the no buy. I'm assuming the spring sale will be next month so I'm going to try to continue to be good this month, especially with the masks, rinse off and sheet masks alike. I'm almost finished with a jar of my moisturizer so another is on its way. ๐
Well @itsfi no one says the testing was a one time thing ๐ฌ. You can do it this month too! You got this! ๐ช๐ป๐ฅฐ
Yum, tiramisu gelato and prosecco, @itsfi!!
It made for an excellent pairing @haleyvvvv! ๐
Another from last week's focus on hyaluronic acid.
Wellage Real Hyaluronic Bio Capsule Kit has intrigued me since I first laid eyes on the packet, which was probably over a year ago now; pre-covid. I'm happy that I'm getting to a place in my mask stash that I'm reaching for more recently purchased masks more frequently. ๐
@quspork @keana1 after you've had an opportunity to give this set (or the 10-day kit) a go, I'd be very interested in hearing about your experience with the product.
Hello there @itsfi ! Iโve been using these Wellage products occasionally since last October ( back then, I was unable to post ). I donโt mind the extra step of mixing the blue serum with the freeze-dried HA. I like the extra hydration these provide especially when itโs cold outside and the air is very dry ( perfect for Canadian winters and my dry skin ). Sometimes I donโt use the blue capsule after micro needling ( it contains disodium EDTA ( preservative ) and I dilute the HA with the Benton Snail Bee High Content Skin toner/essence ( doesnโt contain EDTA ) and this combo works very well together. I havenโt tried the Collagen version yet but Iโll let you know when I do. The Cica version sounds great but I donโt have it. The Vitamin version doesnโt really speak to me, the ingredients are rather basic and I personally donโt think itโs worth it. ๐
@keana1!!! You can post!!!! ๐๐ Great to see you!! Oh, I hadn't thought of mixing the HA with an essence or toner. Good point. Making a note of that fabulous rec!
I'm finding this so interesting @itsfi . Some days I'm all in for the extra 'work'/'science experiment' but others I'm just like ... nope. can't do it. lol
Same @missjeanie, same! ๐ Some days the effort is the bare minimum, and masking of any kind takes a back seat to other things.
I too am upping my HA @itsfi I've been a slacker
Ooooh @lmaster, are you upping the HA - ante with serums? Sheet masks? Both? Other products with HA?
@itsfi mainly serums, I literally need to bathe in HA ๐คฃ
I hear ya @lmaster! ๐ I pulled out more hydrators this past weekend - my HA serums as well as products with other hydrating ingredients
Intriguing product (but a fair bit of work), @itsfi. I'd be interested to hear about the cica one if you get a chance to try it.
@haleyvvvv, Iโll be sure to post about the Cica version of this solution when I use it. With spring coming, my allergies will undoubtedly come with it (yay me!) so Iโm sure there will be plenty of moments when my skin will need some soothing from centella asiatica. ๐
A 10-day trial of this sounds like an absolute must, @itsfi. Although I imagine any benefits would not outlast that time period by much. But 900k ppm? It is almost 100% HA...it sounds like if it worked as good as it does in theory, it would be an incredible โspecial occasionโ must. Adding to my list.
