Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge!
Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!
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💗
@Shosh85, the results were good. And it smelled like blueberries 🫐💙 so that’s a plus!! 👍🏼 Masks like this do serve a purpose so I’ll probably keep at least one bubble sheet mask in my mask library 📚, along with possibly a product like the bliss oxygen mask or the ThirstyMud (if both are still around). This one is a nice one; my skin generally responds well to Shangpree skincare products.
V is for Volcanic
Betterskin Premium Volcanic Ash & 3D Sheet Mask
Material:
Two piece meshy cotton that was caked/saturated with clay
Serum:
Light brown clay
Scent:
Not really a scent, just smelled like clay
Fit:
Just a smidge too long at the chin and a teensy bit too wide at the temples
Wear Time:
The directions say you can leave it on for 40-50 minutes...... I made it to 10 because it just got so tight, dry and uncomfortable. Removal was a little uncomfortable as well and felt like a face-size Biore strip.
Tack:
None
Results:
After rinsing off the bits of clay that was left over, my face did look a tiny bit brighter and was definitely soft smooth - but it was also very, very dry
Repurchase?
Nope. Too uncomfortable. Peeling the mask off my face kind of felt like it was ripping my skin off with it, and that's just not my cup of tea.
A full face pore strip???? @Shosh85 um... no. wow. I have a Betterskin mask that is in my 4 left over masks that I pulled out to use up for my miscellaneous may masks... I can't decide now if I should just open it and give it a shot tonight to get it over with or not. I think it's a different shade of yellow so I may need to do a closer read of the package. I'm so thankful for the warning either way.
@missjeanie @itsfi I've tried the yellow (detoxing) one too, and it was much better! It's not a clay mask and is also biocellulose, so no full-face Biore strip effect 😉
@Shosh85 yes! This is the one I found in my stash. I decided against a detox since the clay sounded so harsh last night. Maybe next week lol.
@Shosh85 @missjeanie, my pavlov's dog reaction to hearing "full face Biore strip effect" is to touch my hand to my cheeks with a worried look on my face. 🙄 Biocellulose has never sounded better! 😂 I took a pic of the clay one you used Shosh and wrote a big ol' "NO" on it, along with "full face Biore strip". We've all been sufficiently warned!
@missjeanie, oh goodness! I misread part of your post - “miscellaneous may mask” turned into “mischievous may mask” and I just laughed and laughed. 😂😂😂 Then I thought, “oh, that could be a fun theme!” 😍 I think there are several different masks from this brand because I feel like I would remember and wince at a face version of a Biore strip - similar color blocking pattern as the one @Shosh85 used but with different shades of yellow, maybe? 🤔
@itsfi Yes! I looked at it was a bit more on the orange side, but the same look to the mask for sure. The one I had wasn't a clay or a two piece. It shall be saved for another day.
Oh yikes, @Shosh85! That looks like one I may have sent you and if so, I am so, so sorry😕 I did use this one recently and thought it would be like the biocell exfoliating mask but it was indeed clay. I hope your skin isn’t too 😡!!!
@eshoe Oh, you're so sweet, but this one wasn't from you - I actually got it in a Facetory sub!
My skin is doing fine, it was mostly just really dry. Nothing a good moisturizer can't fix 😉😃
Whew @Shosh85 😥! That must be where I received mine from, too. It didn’t affect my skin the same way, thankfully. I do remember when I used it, realizing that there were two protective layers, not just one; and that I have been leaving one layer on with other clay sheet masks🤦🏻♀️ Still learning masking lessons, it never stops!
@Shosh85, this is one I wondered about but now I wonder no more. Yikes! 😳😬 It started off sounding good with it being a 2-piece mask but then I got to your “right, dry and uncomfortable” comment and ummm... NO. Just no. I’m all for the Biore strip for my nose, not the entire face. Ack! So sorry you had to go through this. 😱 I don’t think your husband will agree with me but I think this horrible experience calls for ice cream 🍨, a solid mask haul 🛍, and a new kitchen gadget! 😉
@itsfi Oh my gosh, your comment at the end totally made me laugh out loud! 😂 ....... My husband wouldn't agree to the kitchen gadgets, but he'd definitely agree to the ice cream, and he might agree to the mask haul as long as there's some butt masks included! 🤣😆
@Shosh85, hahaha! 2 out of 3, eh?! 🤔🤨 We will get you another kitchen gadget at some point, Shosh! Maybe something on the smallish side. Hide it among a pile of sheet (and butt - lol) masks and hope he won’t notice??! 🤪 Hahaha! Since Crate and Barrel now seems to be selling sheet masks, we just need it to stock ice cream and it can be one stop shopping for this new goal. 😂
@Shosh85, this was the closest thing I could find for ice cream at C&B:
There were smaller ice cream makers available, but wouldn't it be better if the Shosh85 household had more ice cream rather than less ice cream?! 😂
@itsfi Oh my gosh, you're awesome! We do own an ice cream maker, but this one looks so much fancier!
My husband actually eats way more ice cream than I do, which is funny, because he's lactose intolerant 😆
