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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
B is for beplain
โ
@lmaster The results sound wonderful! I love how short the ingredient list is, and that Cica is at the top of it! ๐
@Shosh85 agree!! This one is a diamond in the rough ๐
This one sounds lovely, @lmaster!
@quspork can't stress enough how fabulous this one is
@lmaster, sounds like a great mask! How much was it?
You can get it through facetory for $4 @FullCoverageBB
@lmaster, this one sounds good, especially that Cica extract coming in as the first ingredient listed, and at 83%! ๐ Is this a more recently purchased mask? Iโm finding that more bio-cellulose masks are the newer generation ones, and thus, thinner than the ones on the market when I first started using sheet masks. I do like the thinner version; it feels softer and clings even better! ๐๐ผ
PS. Of course this one would say what the material is. ๐ Watch!! Every mask I use this week will say what material is used. Lol.
This was actually one I received in facetory @itsfi that is the only subscription I've kept around,,, ohh for the love of masks!! ๐
B for belated. Meant to use this mask as another A mask last week but just got caught up with work and life and didn't get around to this one until earlier this week.
tl;dr: Dr. Althea Water Glow Aqua Ampoule Mask is a soft, thin, sheet soaked in a clear, slightly viscous freshly scented serum having a hit of a soft, floral fragrance. Adherence is great and fit is typical of most sheet masks. An half hour of wear yields the results claimed by the mask - skin is hydrated, bouncy and slightly brightened.
Mask: | Dr. Althea Water Glow Aqua Ampoule Mask |
Material: | Soft and thin cotton |
Adherence: | Great, clings beautifully to the curves and contour of the face |
Fit: | Typical of most sheet masks, which for me means an inch too long at the chin with adjustments needed to the corners of the mouth and eyes |
Essence / Serum: | Clear, slightly viscous serum that's fairly standard in most sheet masks |
Scent: | Freshly scented, with a hint of a floral fragrance |
Claim(s): | Hydrated and glowy skin |
Other Noteworthy Qualities: | Contains soothing ingredients such as ceramides and allantoin. This may be an older version of the mask. Dr. Althea has undergone a redesign with its packaging for many of their sheet masks. |
Results: | There's a tackiness to the skin after removing the mask and patting in the excess serum. That tack dissipates immediately upon following up with moisturizer. Skin felt soothed, hydrated, bouncy and with a slightly brightened complexion. |
Repurchase?: | Probably. |
@itsfi The packaging is great on this one - simple yet creative ๐ The results sound really nice!
@Shosh85, I've not tried many sheet masks from this brand but the ones I have had performed well. I feel like their sheet masks are no-nonsense, straightforward, simple but effective, a great combination, in my opinion. ๐
I wished that charcoal stick mask was still around.
@elleb810, I agree!!! I'm still hoping that Sephora will release a similar concept in its clean line. It may not be the same flavors, but it would be nice to see other masks in stick form. I found them to be very convenient.
I like checking things off or crossing action items off my list and there's something very satisfying about that package design.
@missy94612, me too!! I'm sure that's one of the reasons my eyes zoomed in on this mask in the store. ๐
@itsfi I didn't realize that was it's actual packaging until I saw the very bottom of it lol I thought it was just your creativity.
@Samtian, awww, that's such a huge compliment. I'm blushing. ๐ I love the design of the packaging; it's what drew me to the mask in the first place.
