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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
No worries, @Samtian!! Thank you!!
This one has given so many mixed masking emotions, @Samtian - I am so happy to hear it worked out well for you! When my skin is dry, it really gives it an extra-hydrating kick. There is a chamomile version, or at least there was a year or so ago. Chances are, if you liked it, itโs no longer around, ha!
@Samtian Oooo Iโll have to keep my eyes open for this one!
Yaaay @Samtian! ๐๐ผ Happy to hear youโve been finding sheet masks that you love! โฅ๏ธ
@itsfi Thank you! I'm glad too! Hopefully they aren't discontinued haha.
@Samtian Oooh, love a good oil mask! Happy to hear this one worked out so well for you! ๐๐
@Shosh85 Thank you! I'll definitely keep a look out for more.
@Samtian I'm always happy to see a good mask for your skin!!
@Samtian oil masks are the absolute best!!! Iโm glad your skin enjoyed that one! I like to add a little face oil to my face before doing โfillerโ masks to make them more pleasant. ๐
@heartsmyface I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for more of them! I'll also have to try the face oil tip too.
From last week, my H is for hydration heaven with hyaluronic acid.
I hit "pause" last week on my daily sheet masking with the Saborino evening mask pack. My hiatus had less to do with the Saborino masks and more because my skin was in need of an extra dose of hydration as a result of changes in the weather and also because I really wanted to try out some of my hyaluronic acid based sheet masks. When I first started paying more attention to my skincare, hyaluronic acid was my go to and my skin drank it up. Hyaluronic acid wasn't as well known as it is now so a shout out to my dermatologist and aesthetician for turning me onto HA. Hyaluronic acid really worked well for my skin then and still does, though it doesn't have as strong of a presence in my skincare routine as it used to, primarily because my skin's needs have changed and I'm a little more aware of what works best for my skin at a particular period of time and place - HA works well when my skin is dehydrated (vs. dry) and when I'm not in dry or very dry settings which I learned the hard way when work took me the dry desert - not a good fit for hyaluronic acid.
Cosrx Triple Hyaluronic Water Wave Sheet Mask
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Deep Moisture Water Mask
@itsfi These masks all look really good!! I didnโt know cosrx made masks. I will look for them now!
@ather, I didn't know Cosrx made these sheet masks either until I happened to stumble upon them. There's a propolis version that I picked up as well and am excited to try - I've liked the couple of the products in the new Cosrx full fit propolis line that I've tried so I'm looking forward to giving it a go soon. I have a handful more sheet masks that I should use up first, just because I've had them in the stash longer and don't want to get sidetracked with finishing them up.
@itsfi Canโt wait to hear your thoughts! Iโm not buying till it least the summer. My stash has gotten out of hand. Although Iโve been wanting to try the new jlo mask but I might wait till the spring sale!
@ather, if you're interested in the JLo mask, it makes sense to pick it up during a sale. Ohhh, yes! It's all too easy for that mask stash to get out of hand; I know that full well. Whittling it down will feel really good. With the exception of a few small hauls, I've been on a sheet mask no-buy for almost a year now. That helped a lot and I'm almost to where I'd like to be. What the plan going forward for future sheet masks hauls is another story; something to think about, but at the moment, I'm just focused on keeping up with my masking and getting the inventory down to my goal. Baby steps. lol. ๐
@itsfi Definitely looks like hydration heaven! I tried that Isntree mask recently too, and I remember it not being as hydrating as I expected.
The CosRx mask sounds nice! Have you tried any other CosRx masks?
@Shosh85, I only realized that Cosrx made sheet masks late last year. ๐ ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ This is what happens when Iโm on a sheet mask no buy for too long. ๐๐ I have one, maybe two, other masks from this line and then I have the sheet mask that is part the Cosrx snail line.
I was a bit disappointed that the Isntree wasnโt as hydrating as I expected. Itโs okay though - the other ones that I still need to post about had plenty of hydration to make up for this one .๐
I totally hear you on the hydration!! Thanks for sharing all these beauties @itsfi
