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
@eshoe I've done that many times!! ๐คฃ
@lmaster, while it's nice to hear this was hydrating, it's too bad the results didn't live up to the mask's "extreme moisture" name.
The sheet was nice @itsfi however, if you just threw some water in your face and then placed this sheet over it,,, that would be the comparison ๐คฆ
I've been using the masks in this sheet mask pack once a week for the last 5 weeks. As for as the letter of the week theme goes, it's been an A for antioxidants, B for BCL Saborino, C for vitamin C, D for daily use (how these sheets are intended to be used), and finally this week, an E for every day masking or evening masking.
Mask: | BCL Saborino 5-in-1 Mild Night Care Face Mask (5 sheets) - Melting Fruits |
Material: | Cotton, slightly-thin leaning; very pliable. Lightly dampened with serum. |
Adherence: | Fine |
Fit: | Looks to run small coming out of packet, but because of how extremely pliable the material is, it can be easily stretched to fit the face. |
Essence / Serum: | Hard to tell consistency of essence as there's just enough to make the material damp; appears to be clear, watery liquid. |
Scent: | Fresh and faint peach scent |
Ingredient Spotlight: | Peach leaf extract; aloe; honey |
Claim(s): | 5-in-1 gentle moisturizing nighttime mask that works in as little as 60 seconds. |
Other Noteworthy Traits: |
|
Results: | For how little essence is included in the mask, it did perform as claimed, providing a light, but noticeable level of moisture to the skin. There's a tack that remains after the essence is fully absorbed, but that becomes undetectable once a moisturizer or oil is applied. |
Best Suited For: | Normal, oily, combo skin most of the year, but it may not be moisturizing enough during the colder months. These masks could work well for those with dry skin in the warmest part of the summer, though following up with a moisturizer may be preferred for some. |
Repurchase?: | Probably. I like the peach scent to this evening mask pack and I especially like the lack of menthol (that is prevalent in the morning masks from this brand), and that it is lightly moisturizing, the latter of which I was surprised by given how little serum is in the material. I prefer using this as a quick and easy mask on those mornings when my skin needs just a little extra love, but I don't have or want to spend much time on a lengthy skincare routine. 60 seconds with this mask, followed by light moisturizer, sunscreen, lip balm, and I'm done. |
@itsfi Hmmm, the two different wear times is interesting.... certainly a big difference there. I'm impressed that it did anything in just 1 minute! The light peach scent especially sounds good! ๐
@Shosh85, I didnโt know what to expect at first because coming out of the packet it didnโt feel like it had a lot of serum. Itโs definitely not a mask I would say is โsaturatedโ or โsoakedโ in serum. But for whatever reason, 60 seconds on and my skin looked hydrated. The next time I use one of these 60 second masks Iโm going to use my quartz roller and see if that gets more serum into my skin in that same amount of time.
@itsfi I like the sounds of the stretchy mask material. That's interesting that there's such a big discrepancy between wear times!
I like how stretchy it is @PrettyPaint! ๐ This is one of those lightly moisturizing masks that when used consistently over time could show good results. I prefer the evening masks from this brand. The menthol scent on the morning versions that Iโve used are too strong for my liking; they make my eyes water.
Masks that are pliable like this are always welcome, @itsfi - itโs a fun little discovery when you realize it does not appear that it is going to fit right. And whoa about the difference in suggested wearing timeโฆI guess it could be a one-size-fits-all, ha!
lol! @eshoe, I was pretty sure it would be a stretch to get it to 20 minutes with the first sheet I used. I thought maybe 10 but went online to see if there was a misprint in the recommended time - I thought maybe they meant 5-10 minutes or even 10-15 minutes. I was so confused ๐ค when it said 60 seconds ๐ but thatโs a pretty good wear time for these masks.
Doesn't sound too bad at all! @itsfi the peach scent sounds most fabulous
@lmaster, it was a good mask pack, and peachy scented too! Based on the varieties I've tried from this brand, it seems like my skin prefers the mask packs meant for evening use.
I had planned to use this mask for "D" week, for a "do over" but I picked up the wrong mask. Oops. Instead I'll try to stretch this one into innovative (?) or maybe beauty ideas to try in 2021 because it's a mask I tried in 2021. Hahaha! This will just fall into the category of "not following the challenge" mask.
Mask: | Mediheal Golden Chip Acupoint Mask - Illuminating |
Material: | Charcoal mask |
Adherence: | Good |
Fit: | Width was fine; length was off at the forehead (1" too short) and the chin (1/4" too long). |
Essence / Serum: | Clear; standard viscosity, not too runny |
Scent: | Very subtle scent with a slightly herbaceous / plant scent |
Claim(s): | Brightening, toning, stimulating |
Other Noteworthy Qualities: | This claims to have some acupressure benefits with acupoints on the side of the mask that is to be applied to the skin. Directions call for pressing these acupoints upon initial application and before removing the mask, the latter of which I forgot to do. Oops. |
Results: | I'm not sure about the acupoints, both due to my only use this mask this one time and also I'm not sure what I should have expected from it. From the sheet mask ingredients themselves though, my skin felt hydrated, dark spots and redness looked lighter / faded and my complexion looked brightened. |
Repurchase?: | Probably not. I am a huge fan of Mediheal and their catalog of sheet masks. The results of this one were wonderful but I'm not altogether certain that they couldn't be reproduced with another mask, and one at more wallet friendly price point - the acupoints in this masks drives the price up. |
What the Mask Looks Like:
Apparently, acupressure and masking may be the next trend. Who knew?!! Well, Mediheal did. ๐
Looks like Charlotte Tilbury will be releasing a new mask that combines cryotherapy and facial acupressure. Available mid-August for $40. ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ @SportyGirly125 posted info from Trendmood on the new mask in the product release and Charlotte Tilbury threads https://community.sephora.com/t5/Beauty-Confidential/2021-PRODUCT-RELEASES-THREAD/m-p/5922109/highli...
@eshoe @Sunnysmom @lmaster @missy94612 @Shosh85 @Kim888 @quspork @Samtian @missjeanie @PrettyPaint @ather
More details. I did further research and here's what I learned:
I found the above information in an article on Get The Gloss website, titled "Charlotte Tilbury's New Ice Mask Promises Firmer, Lifted Skin in 10 Minutes".
@Sunnysmom @missjeanie @eshoe @quspork @lmaster @PrettyPaint @ather @Shosh85
@itsfi I will try a reusable mask that lifts my skin 253%๐ โฆand it has pockets?๐ค @ather @lmaster @missjeanie @PrettyPaint @quspork @Shosh85 @Sunnysmom
Yeah @eshoe, I could see not being so sure about this one if it only lifted the skin by 252%. ๐๐คฃ๐
@itsfi that is serious stat! I would have loved to have been in on the study. Maybe someday๐
@eshoe, we should do our own study. I wonder if we'd come up with the same percentages. ๐ค
@eshoe Hmmm I love when my dresses have pockets maybe masks with pockets is the next cool thing ๐ฅถ
