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
@lmaster, I was surprised, in a good way, about how well this lip mask performed. ๐ I donโt need more lip balms / lip masks but the set does look good. ๐ค ๐
J is for juxtaposition between a harsh exfoliant treatment and a soothing cream mask.
The hey honey sweet treat mask smells like berry yogurt (it doesnโt taste like berry yogurt) Itโs creamy with what I thought were little black seeds in it but the โseedsโ dissolve into the cream as you apply it. It claims to help restore your skin barrier with wild berry oil, honey and vitamin E. Its a 20 minute mask youโre just supposed to wipe away the excess of. My skin appreciated it after the KS exfoliating treatment which Iโm sure everyone knows I like? It felt harsher than usual but thatโs no surprise with all the protective mask wearing doing the exfoliating for me. I just felt it was time to do an all over skin clarifying.
โ
@heartsmyface Yum! That Hey Honey mask sounds wonderful! It's probably a good thing it doesn't taste like berry yogurt too! ๐
The hey honey scent sounds amazing @heartsmyface
Loving the J theme here @heartsmyface! The Hey Honey mask sounds fantastic! ๐ I don't need another mask, but I'm still adding it to the list. ๐
@itsfi Yeah Iโm just trying to use products but thought Iโd attempt to be on theme. Itโs a delicious smelling mask. I believe I got this one in an Ipsy bag. Ha, Iโm trying so hard not to have a serious list and am talking myself down when I make them. I caught myself today looking at new skincare releases, had some in my cart and went and looked at my newly organized skincare to take the โneedโ away. Seeing what I already have in distinct sections by category is helping- for now.
If I see a bunch of you start raving about something itโs all over. Iโm just looking for an excuse๐
@heartsmyface, you're so good! ๐ค
It's two J for J-Beauty masks and an artistic mask from last week!
@itsfi Oooh, the Skin Inc mask sounds wonderful! I'm curious, does it have a scent? I have a feeling this is one I'll need to pick up soon! ๐
The hair oil sounds so nice! Never thought about using horse oil for hair - definitely something I need to try sometime!
Oh, good question @Shosh85. Hold, please (queue music in the background while I grab the packet).
There is the very subtlest scent at the very beginning and then nothing. For a nanosecond, I thought I picked up a very, very, very slight scent of lychee (of all things). I was so surprised that I squeezed out another little bit and I did that 3 other times. Ha! It's very lightly, almost imperceptibly, fruity, but then I don't pick up anything when I go in for a second sniff.
From an ingredients perspective, no added fragrance. Here's what's listed on the brand's website for the sleeping mask. These are the same ingredients listed and in the same order, as on the back of my foil sample.
Water/Aqua/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Algae Extract, Natto Gum, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA
@itsfi Oh thank you! Yup, definitely sounds like something I *need* to buy! ๐
@itsfi I love the skin inc brand!
Oooh, what products have you tried from the brand @lmaster? I have a few serums I want to go through but Iโm definitely interested in exploring Skin Inc more. โฅ๏ธ
Well,, my most favorite @itsfi is my daily dose of uplift, I've went through three bottles already ๐ it seems to be disappearing from the sites I used to purchase it from,,, I hope they don't discontinue it ๐
@lmaster, not the dreaded โdโ word?!! The trend of discontinuing our faves needs to stop. ๐คช It looks like that serum is available direct from the brand and they have a โsubscribe and saveโ feature too.
Oh that's awesome to know!! Thank you I did just recently buy a bottle for about $12 I think through boxycharm before I cancelled the sub @itsfi
Whoa!! $12 @lmaster!!! ๐๐ผ Thatโs awesome! You canceled your Boxcharm sub box? Just too many things/subs? Or was it the contents of the boxes?
@itsfi it's the products, some are very appealing,,, but I never end up getting those products ๐
@itsfi Ack! I love that horse oil! You just made me kick myself for not thinking of it to soothe mask irritation! The linolenic acid is an anti inflammatory and acts as a skin barrier! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@heartsmyface, ooooh!!! Do you think it would be too much to apply it before putting on the mask? I mean, as part of a skincare routine, not literally right before putting on the mask?
@itsfi The mask might get oily but I care not:) Iโm going to try it out tomorrow. If anything itโll be soothing for after wear but Iโm willing to sacrifice a mask for science:)
