💕😌 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💗

@itsfi Ooh that sheet masks sounds lovely, minus the Vitamin C lol. 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, no vitamin C for you! When I look into the other "flavors", I'll keep an eye out for you for ones that don't contain vitamin C.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you!

This mask was such a weird mask lol. It fit well enough, except the chin covered my whole under chin haha. But anyways the weird part, in the morning my skin felt dry not to the touch but just in general I don't know how to describe that...but had that glowy hydrated look. Skin still looks quite well the next night and feels well to the touch so I'm calling it a winner.

[lmaster]

@Samtian I've used this one before!!! But it's been quite awhile in my memory 😆

[quspork]

That does sound like a bit of a weird one, @Samtian but it's hard to go wrong with a glowy, hydrated look in the end! 

[Samtian]

@quspork That is true!

[Kim888]

@Samtian interesting! Guess it's like sacrifice a dry feeling for a glowy look? haha. That's cool about the chin though, some masks really don't have enough chin space!

[Samtian]

@Kim888 Lol yep! I have PCOS so I don't like anything getting caught in my instantly grown stubble lol. 

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  Oh, I liked this one too! Definitely didn't experience "intense hydrating" like this mask claims, but I also didn't feel dry like you did 🤔 Glad it turned out nice for you in the end! 😃

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Glad it worked out for you as well!

[eshoe]

Glowy and hydrated, despite an overly ambitious chin flap, sounds great, @Samtian 👍🏼

[Samtian]

@eshoe Hahaha it was!

[itsfi]

@Samtian, maybe it's just me, but I think the mask covering the whole area under your chin is also weird. Good to hear that the results are to your liking but that does sound odd that it initially felt dry but looked glowy and hydrated. I thought about picking this one up last month but ended up passing on it; I'm making a note for next time - so I know what to expect if I decide to put it in the cart.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Lol it being completely under the chin is definitely really weird. 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, hahaha! Very weird.

B is for Black Tea and Bubble Tea 🧋 

Spoiler

Annie's Way Black Tea Bubble Tea Mask

Material: Tencel, comfortable, great adherence

Serum: Clear, watery. Not much extra

Scent: Light, super sweet black tea scent. I'm not 100% sure, but there may have been just a hint of floral. I thought it was pretty pleasant.

Fit: About an inch too long at the chin and the forehead was a smidge too long and a smidge too wide.

Wear Time: Half hour

Tack: Light tack that was gone in 5 minutes

Results: Brighter, nicely hydrated and super soft and smooth skin

Repurchase? Most likely, but still have plenty of these at the moment 😉

[quspork]

So here for that super soft, smooth skin, @Shosh85. Glad to hear this one works out well for you! 

[Shosh85]

@quspork  Yup, this definitely had some great results!  😃

[eshoe]

This reminds me that a trip to TJ Maxx is waiting, @Shosh85! Black tea seems to be showing up more, at least here… the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Peach Iced Tea is one that comes to mind.

Everything about this sounds like a big plus🙌🏼

[Shosh85]

@eshoe I've really liked the black tea masks/products I've tried, including several from Fresh! 😃
