💕😌 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 💮

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?

@Samtian, I love how you tied in the letter of the week theme - ptui! So creative! 😍 I hate when the serum gets everywhere; so sorry to hear that! Did your mom also have serum running down her face, etc.? That’s so great that you and your mom have some masking time together! 

[eshoe]

I find it hilarious that your Mom didn’t like this one, either, @Samtian. Very drippy masks are so annoying!

[Samtian]

@eshoe Yes they are!

[lmaster]

Awwww but you are so dang cute!! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster Haha thank you!

[quspork]

Aw, it's such a cute mask- too bad it had a bit too much runny serum, @Samtian. 

[Samtian]

@quspork Thank you!

[missjeanie]

What a bummer this one didn't work out for you @Samtian .  I agree, some of the overly drippy masks just don't work for me.  You shouldn't have to brush your teeth and change your clothes due to a mask!

[Samtian]

@missjeanie Lol exactly!

O is for Oatmeal 

• This is a mask that has 3 separate sealed compartments, one for the spatula, one for the serum, and one for the oats
• You fold the spatula over and remove it first then you push the serum until it pops into the oats
• You use the spatula to mix it all together, I just used my fingers to spread it over my face
• There wasn't much of a scent other than what you would smell in a regular oatmeal container
• I left this on for 15 minutes then I used a damp makeup eraser to remove and it was a very easy removal process
• I used this mask after using a first aid beauty peel and it most definitely soothed my skin after the peel
• Any redness that I had and sensitivity that I had after the peel was completely gone and my skin felt soft and nourished

   @sprocketta this would be a good mask for you to try for your current skin concerns,,, I also found an amazing moisturizer I think would be excellent for you as well,, it's called Aveeno calm and restore oat gel moisturizer,, it's currently on sale through Ulta for $8!! I've been using it for a couple weeks now

@lmaster  This mask sounds wonderful! Always a great a idea to have good soothing mask on-hand! So happy it could help with your sensitivity and redness. 😃

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 works great and not messy! That's a huge plus for me 🤣

[Kim888]

@lmaster thanks for sharing! It sounds great for stressed skin! I have this floating in my collection as well so I will definitely have to remember to use it

[eshoe]

This one looks fun, @lmaster! The brand has been good for me as well, may as well add to to my list;)

[lmaster]

@eshoe if you enjoy a less messy interactive mask,,, and it soothes,,, this one is a must try!

[quspork]

This one sounds like its a great one to have on hand for soothing irritated skin, @lmaster. 

[lmaster]

@quspork I could see it being extremely beneficial during the summer, or after a peel and any sensitive skin issues

[sprocketta]

@lmaster that sounds good! I'll have to check out out. Cortisone did more than the cica cream i bought. Still not normal yet though.

[lmaster]

@sprocketta I'm happy to hear you have at least found some relief

[missjeanie]

@lmaster Im digging the sound of this mask!  I love oatmeal in my skincare and this sounds like just enough interactive to make it fun without making it extra messy and time consuming!

[lmaster]

@missjeanie it was not messy at all! I'm all about mess free masking 😉
