💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

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 💮

Spoiler

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 masks💗

@lmaster, how great would that be if there was a rose-based, rose-scented, effective foot peel?! 😍

[lmaster]

As I've experienced more and more rose scented products @itsfi I've realized some rose scents are not for me whereas others are amazing! I think a rose scented foot peel would be great

[eshoe]

@itsfi  the Medilab has been added to my wish list, it sounds lovely.

You get a pretty good wear out of your EH! Mine don’t seem to have enough essence on to last more than 15-20 minutes. Good advice also on not tearing the top open completely. I will keep that in mind for my next box as I unintentionally did just that after a few uses 😞

…and I am also adding the Mediheal to my list!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the MediLab is a treat; my eyes always gravitate towards the products in this line when I'm in the store. 

Oh, do you mean the A'Pieu green tea masks? I think wear time will depend on a few factors, including skin type, weather / climate and how soaked the sheet is that is being used. Flipping the container over and letting all the serum from the bottom (and there's a good amount) make its way to the top layer of sheets really helps to saturate them. You do need to make sure that the serum doesn't leak because the seal to both lids (lid to the sheets and top lid of the container) has been open now. , 

My skin has been less dry than it might normally be over the last 6 weeks or so and I think that, coupled with the weather here, and my making sure the sheet I'm using is full of essence has made it more conducive to keep the mask on for 30 minutes. The A'Pieu mask packs seem to have a lot of extra essence at the bottom of the containers; the BCL Saborino mask pack have a decent amount but not as much as the A'Pieu and some others that I've tried. 

The Mediheal propolis jelly mask is great; well, for my skin, at least. Mediheal does it again! You used a tofu version from this line a while back, yes? I know there's a black bean version and a natto version from this line. So many sheet masks out there to try, just one face. 😂

[eshoe]

@itsfi ooooh such a good point about the humidity. You are on to something as I have witnessed changes in my houseplants over that past month that would indicate a fluctuation in humidity. I have been using a ‘heavier’ toner prior to the A’Pieu and that is helping, in addition to misting a few times while wearing it.

I tried the Tofu Milk, yes, and loved it! I do have the Natto on my to-try list, the black bean…I might not be in too much of a hurry for that one. Adzuki beans in skincare give my skin hives, so I have been hesitant to try masks centered around beans in general. Except for soybeans 😉

@itsfi  Wow!!! Great masking seshs!!! I hope the foot masks work out for you!! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather! I’ve been pretty happy with the week’s masks. 😃 Am keeping my fingers crossed that the peel mask will turn out well. I’ll keep folks posted.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Lots of nice stuff! I can't wait to hear about the foot mask.

[itsfi]

@Samtian, I hope it works well. The last foot peel I used, from a different brand, didn’t really peel and I know that there was peeling to be had on my foot. Lol.

[Kim888]

Looks like some great masking sessions @itsfi ! The medilab one in particular sounds like a huge win! They always do a good job!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, thank you! Have you used this mask or other products from this line or the MediLab brand?

[Kim888]

@itsfi @I haven’t tried this one! I actually think I got it confused with another similarly names brand! But I’m adding this to my list ! 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I find myself mixing up brand names a lot!!! And then I can’t ever find the sheet mask I’m looking for. 😬 Not that I would flounder about without that sheet masks. 😂 

[lmaster]

R is for Revital Collagen

• This is a medium flexible white sheet, still had airplane wings though
• Serum is clear with extra in the sleeve
• Scent is so good!! I would say berry/fruity
• No lasting tackiness
• 20 minutes for wear
• Results were nice, the serum feels so luxe and silky, my skin was hydrated, plumped and lightly moisturized
• It's a bit better than your typical filler mask imo

@lmaster  

Can never turn away from a good collagen mask. Making a note of this one.

[lmaster]

@elleb810 noteworthy for sure!! 😊

[eshoe]

Airplane wings, @lmaster? I know exactly what you are saying but I don’t think I’ve heard that term before. I love it! 

[lmaster]

It's not a deal breaker, but definitely funny 😂 @eshoe 

[ather]

@lmaster  This sounds like a great mask!

[lmaster]

@ather I truly loved it! A keeper in the collection

[Kim888]

Nice @lmaster ! Sometimes you need a good reliable filler mask
