💕😌 Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

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!

Spoiler

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💗

@PrettyPaint I laughed (good thing I wasn't eating!) out loud at this comparison! It's perfect for such a terrifying mask.

[quspork]

HA! It's too bad about this one, @PrettyPaint, but I can't definitely see what you're saying about the lack of a mouth hole getting a touch claustrophobic! 

[PrettyPaint]

@quspork  I am pretty claustrophobic naturally, so this mask was not the best fit for me. But at least it was an experience. 

[Kim888]

@PrettyPaint @lol at that picture! The mouthless

masks are always so weird! It seems like a good idea at first but then you can’t help but end up tasting the mask 

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888  Yup, I definitely got a mouthful. I already knew I didn't like lip masks (the patch kind), so this definitely wasn't any fun either. 

[lmaster]

@PrettyPaint 😂 I've not had the pleasure of trying a mouthless mask,,, thanks for sharing 😉

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  Please share if you ever try one - it's quite the experience. 

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  Oh my goodness, I love the Stormtrooper comparison! 😂 These masks really are terrifying aren't they?! Props to you for trying it out! 😃👍

[PrettyPaint]

@Shosh85  I'm glad I got it over with. 😂  I probably should have cut a mouth hole, but I figured I had better go for the full experience. 

[itsfi]

@PrettyPaint, I'd go with the Stormtrooper mask. Hands down. No questions.

ETA: if you experienced some itching, I wonder if you might be allergic to the form of seaweed / algae used in the mask. 

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  It was not a relaxing or enjoyable experience! 

I know I have some type of sensitivity or allergy to some type of sea-related ingredient. This was enough itchiness to make me a bit nervous, though I don't think I'm going to have a severe reaction or anything. I used an eye cream several years back with some form of algae or marine type ingredient, and I broke out in severe hives and my eyes were swollen shut. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the product because I'm ridiculous. 

[Samtian]

W for White Fox lol. I liked this one a lot.

[eshoe]

This looks adorable, @Samtian - sometimes it's good just to have a good mask 🙂

[lmaster]

@Samtian perfect summer mask for sure!

[Samtian]

@lmaster Yes for sure!

[PrettyPaint]

@Samtian  This looks fantastic for a summer day!

[Samtian]

@PrettyPaint Definitely!

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  What a cute lil' fox 🦊 Happy to hear you liked this one! 😃

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Thank you!

[itsfi]

@Samtian, I agree; this was a nice one! 👍🦊 The cooling feel; the hydration! 💖 The illustration is also very cute! I picked one up online and received one as a gift from @lmaster. I'm going to try to hold off on using my last one of it until it gets really warm here. We'll see if I can hold out that long. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Haha good luck!!
