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!
Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights ๐ฎ
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
@itsfi it was a surprise love!! I try not to have high expectations so I don't get bummed, so I was pleased!!
@lmaster ohh that sounds great! Facetory does always send such great options!
Yes they do @Kim888 I've been very happy with this subscription, only one I have left over the years ๐คฆ
Oh, this looks nice, @lmaster. I love the packaging and the scent sounds great too!
It was one of the better masks I've used lately!! Worth talking about ๐ @quspork
Yes it was a pleasant mask!! @Samtian
My first N mask for the week came unexpectedly, courtesy of Monday night's masking.
N = No, Nah, Nope, Nein, Nyet, Non
Ouch! HOpe your skin is better.
@elleb810, thank you! My skin has been on the mend. I was working on addressing some areas of dryness but today, I noticed no noticeable surface dryness. Yay! ๐
Oh gosh, @itsfi, I'm so sorry this didn't work for you!! That reaction sounds terrible!! I hope your skin is doing better!!
Thank you @haleyvvvv; my skin is doing better. ๐๐ผ I was most happy when the tenderness and rawness went away. Dryness I can deal with and address. The other stuff was more challenging to deal with, but fortunately, thatโs behind us now.
@itsfi oh no. Now I know how you irritated your skin barrier. Ouch. So sorry this one didnโt work out for you. I wonder which ingredient/ingredients did this to you. I need to do some more research on vitamin h. In all my years Iโve never come across it. Unless itโs going by the ingredient name. Side note I love how you reapply oil throughout the day. I was watching someone online and they complained about a brand coming out with a face oil and how thatโs only geared towards 20 somethings. I was jaw on the ground upset. Iโm close to 40 and still like looking like a glazed donut before bed. I felt personally attacked ๐คช
@ather, woah! WHAT???!!! Ummmm, I am pretty sure I did not even know about face oils, let alone their benefits, until I was past my 20s. There's so much more info out there about skincare and as a result, more people start looking after their skin at an early age, so I think it's fabulous that folks in their teens and 20s are more aware of what they use. I wish I paid more attention and was more diligent when I was that age. I'm all for the glazed-donut look before bed for people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and so on, if that's what works for their skin.
In solidarity with you, ather, I'm getting my donut PJs out and I'm gonna make my face look extra glazy tonight with my face oils! Oh yes I will! ๐
@itsfi Yes!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your support!! I know if anyone one would be outraged by that comment it would be you. I literally couldnโt believe it was said.
@ather, I hadn't heard of it either before this mask. It's another term for biotin, which is one of the ingredients I think my skin did not get on with very well. I'm sure biotin is included in some supplements I take but this may be the first I've seen it in something you're supposed to put on your face. In any event, the lesson learned from this masking fiasco is hard "no" to biotin and this mask and a huge "yes" to face oils and also snail mucin products. Go gastropods! ๐
@itsfi Oh no, all those negative N's! So sorry this caused irritation- stinging is never a fun feeling! Glad to hear your face is doing better! I definitely will not be picking this one up! ๐๐ฑ
@Shosh85, I was bummed I had to be negative about it but my face really did not like this mask. ๐ฃ It took me by surprise how long it kept stinging after I wash off the product - prior to this one, that never happened to me, even with some parts of my face being very sensitive. Snails to the rescue though! ๐๐
Oh gosh! Sorry to hear this one didn't work out for you, @itsfi!
Thanks @quspork! This one took me by surprise! ๐ฌ
@itsfi Ooh no good! I hope your skin calms down soon!
