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
@heartsmyface, I do wash it between uses. I place it in one of those mesh pouches before tossing it in the wash. I like the idea of it but I'm not so sure the functionality is there for me. A custom fit would be great; or, at least material that has some stretch to it.
@itsfi It sounds like you really gave it your all. Too bad it ended in disappointment ๐ฅ
@ather, having gone through 6 weeks of using this mask in a variety of ways, I feel comfortable that my disappointment is justified. lol It's too bad, this had potential. Maybe the brand will do a redesign of it, or perhaps another brand will build on the concept?
@itsfi I could see other brands maybe trying it out too but I wonder if any of them can actually make it work!
@itsfi major bummer!! Thanks for your efforts
@lmaster, in one of your recent posts, you mentioned that the results of a mask you used were similar to just splashing water on your face. The same could be said about this one, except that there's a bamboo cloth sheet mask that is absorbing the water before it gets to your face. Hahaha!
@itsfi uughhhh that's no fun
Oh, for goodness sakeโs, @itsfi - you certainly gave it your best effort! I was considering this and am thankful now that I did not move forward. It is surprising just how much those reusable and/or DIY masks can hold. It makes me think that the (mask) serums are diluted rather than straight-from-the-bottle โfull-strength.โ On to the next ๐
A sheer gauze would be so comfy, @heartsmyface@ @itsfi. Oddly enough I just used an eye mask that was basically two cut-out triangles soaked in serum. They worked just fine, and I plan to reuse them. With the right technology, a form-fitted reusable gauze mask might be just right!
I think a sheer gauze could work out really well @heartsmyface @eshoe. The other issue would be fit as a one size fits all approach might be challenging with a mask like this. This particular runs smaller than most sheet masks which made it perfect for me width-wise and length-wise at the chin, but it was too short at the forehead and the openings for the eyes and mouth needed work.
@itsfi why not three sizes? If there could be a reusable mask that fit and adhered well, I would love it. Less packaging (althoughโฆthat is half the fun!), it would be tried and true, so I wouldnโt have to fret about fitโฆwho knows. I think a company is already making custom masks, but I donโt believe they are reusable. Then again, much of the fun for me is seeing/hearing/sharing masking experiences, which makes the packets so ideal. Just thinking out loud, I suppose;)
@eshoe, yeah, I kept thinking "is this new approach going to work?" Nope. ๐ The idea behind it is great but the execution could use some work. I think the DIY masks would perform better than this one did - they have the advantage of being a thinner sheet.
True, @itsfi - I thought about that as well (thickness of the material). It must be quite an endeavor to improve on sheet mask material, much less come up with an entirely new approach (like this) to it. Makes me want to play around with some medical gauze and muslin just for the fun of it!
Oh very interesting @itsfi! Disappointing it didnโt work - it would be nice to have more eco friendly options but sounds like a waste of product
@Kim888, yeah, this one looked promising but it didn't perform as well as expected. I'll have to look for a way to repurpose it.
@itsfi Dedication! I like your tip about "steaming" I'm going to have to try that.
@Samtian, I'm curious to know how you like the face steaming with a washcloth. I do it year-round but it's especially great in the colder months.
Bummer dude @itsfi ! You gave it a real try so we know itโs a fail. *Note to self. Never bother with this one.
@Weetart, I like the idea of the mask but the execution wasnโt there for me.
โ
Evening sheet mask.
The smell is not as yummy as the cover design made me hope for, pleasant enough scent, but I was hoping for more. Itโs a daily sort of mask. Hydration, but so are endless other masks. Not regrettable, but disappointed and I wouldnโt buy it. Decent amount of serum.
