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

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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?

Sunday's mask from Dr. Jayjun 

20210906_015108~2.jpg

 

Spoiler
Blemish relief with moisture replenishing essence on a hemp sheet mask.

Ingredients 
I'm assuming the willow bark (9) and tea tree (16) are doing the heavy lifting on the blemish front. Lecithin and cica extracts are lower than 10 place but definitely are nourishing and soothing. 
Alcohol is listed as 6th ingredient.
Spoiler

Fit 
Standard sheet mask for me: 

Width was good. 

Eye holes good. 

Nose area not great. 

Chin too long and kept falling down. 

Texture of sheet was fine.
Spoiler
20210906_015622~2.jpg
Essence 
Semi-thin, clear, aqueous. 
Enough extra to cover my decollotage, arms, stomach and top of my legs. There was seriously a lot in the package. 
To much scent, but no added fragrance. It smelled like maybe willow bark + Tea Tree + fruity + like menthol? It wasn't pleasant but went away about half way through. 

Wear Time 
10-20 minutes. I left it on closer to 20. Sheet was still damp. 

Effect 
One the one breakout I have, I didn't notice any effect. But nicely hydrated (but I expect most sheet masks to do this).

Overall Grade 
C-/D. If it did something for my breakouts (they respond better to direct salicylic acid than willow bark or tea tree), maybe I'd reach for occasionally. It's not good enough for a filler mask and the scent makes it a nogo.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@haleyvvvv I scanned the ingredients in the hopes that the alcohol was cetearyl, but nope. Sorry this one was less than stellar!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thanks, @eshoe!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@haleyvvvv 

That sounds like it had a lot of serum which is great but the smell doesn't sound so great.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yeah, @missy94612, the one good thing was the amount of serum, other than that it was terrible. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@haleyvvvv  I've never seen this one before! Sorry it didn't work out for you! I'm not too fond of alcohol being that high in the list ๐Ÿคจ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

It's okay, @Shosh85!! It seems to be a rare one, so its not the end of the world that it didn't work out for me. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@haleyvvvv sorry this didn't work out for you

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thanks, @lmaster!  it happens!  Glad I know I really dislike it and didn't buy a full box 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@haleyvvvv, I didn't realize JayJun had a new range or a new "Dr" line. At first, I thought it was a completely different brand/company but noticed the JayJun logo on the QR code and then the info on the reverse side of the packet. I wonder if this is a brand new line; it isn't on either the US or Korea website - maybe that's what the "secret code" is in reference to?

 

Oooof, doesn't even make it onto the filler sheet mask list, eh?! That says a lot. I don't blame you for passing on it for the scent alone - menthol scents in sheet masks are too much for me as well - the combination of the scent and how it causes my eyes to water is not a winning combination. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

They still are available at a few Canadian retailers. Maybe older or a Canadian release? Weird! The code confirms it's authenticity, it came up when I took the picture @itsfi

 

Yeah, it sucked though. Thank goodness the eye holes were fast enough away that it didn't cause me to tear up. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

J for Juicyful and, thanks to @missjeanie, no longer a forgotten wonder๐Ÿ˜‰ 

J  - Forgotten Wonders - J + theme.jpg

One of this past weekend's masks. This was included in a complimentary bag of samples and treats with my Jolse order. ๐Ÿ˜ 

 

Spoiler
๐Ÿฏ Mask:  Juicyful Nourishing & Calming Mask BlackBee Propolis 

๐ŸฏClaim(s):  Nourishing and calming / soothing 

๐Ÿฏ Material: Cotton, leans slightly thicker than your standard cotton sheet mask

๐Ÿฏ Adherence:  Good

๐Ÿฏ Fit: Standard sheet mask fit - too long at chin / jawline, too short at forehead, and a smidge too wide at temples. Adjustments needed to eye and mouth openings.

๐Ÿฏ Essence: clear, watery, lightly viscous

๐Ÿฏ Scent: very faint, slightly sweetened honey scent

๐Ÿฏ Performance & Results: Skin felt hydrated and moisturized, soothed after 30 minutes of wear. There was no sticky or tackiness after removing the mask and pressing essence into the skin. Those dealing with damaged skin or a weakened skin barrier would benefit from this mask. 

๐ŸฏOne more thing... (okay, maybe more than one more thing ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜ž This mask is touted as a daily mask and I can see this working beautifully as an everyday mask in the cooler months. The ingredients list on this mask is phenomenal - lots of wonderful humectants and emollients. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿฏ Repurchase?: While I didn't technically purchase this mask, it is one I would consider picking up on my next haul. I'm also interested in checking out some of the other masks from this line - the matcha and hibiscus varietals look particularly good.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Masks for dealing with damaged or broken skin barriers speak to me, @itsfi ๐Ÿ˜„ Sounds like a nice little sample to have included in your order!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe, compromised skin barrier โ€ฆ sigh. Thank goodness there are products and ingredients out there to help repair it. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Itโ€™s such a treat when they add a sheet mask as gratis and it delivers good results. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi 

This sounds great.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612, it was. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ My skin responds well to honey / propolis ๐Ÿฏ as a skincare ingredient so Iโ€™m always excited to try out  sheet mask or other skincare products with it as a main ingredient. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  Oooh, I haven't seen this one - it sounds wonderful! Love a good honey/propolis mask! ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yes @Shosh85, ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ love a good honey / propolis sheet masks! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿฏ Itโ€™s one of a handful of ingredients that always makes me pause just a little while longer when Iโ€™m โ€ฆ โ€œjust browsingโ€ online . ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi does sound really nice! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster, it was! Then again, it is a propolis mask so we were off to a good start before even opening the packet! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿฏ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

This sounds like a great everyday mask, especially nourishing!! @itsfi
