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
Yes, my skin is not usually sensitive, so I was a little surprised to see those red lines from the peel under my eyes. I canโt remember if I mentioned, the Lapcos Aqua didnโt have much scent, if any at all. It was a great fitting mask and my skin today feels nice and hydrated, though I am also trialing a new moisturizer as of last night. @itsfi
That Alpyn Beauty mask is a great little 5-minute skin softener @sister13 - but yes, a timer is vital with this one! It is potent. Just a note, the granules are spherical, so they are supposed to be more gentle in the skin than other physical exfoliants.
That Lapcos set is a nice one, I agree. Good to have a few of those on hand!
Yes, itโs funny, I do donโt t remember having a sensitive reaction the first time I used the sample, but could be any number of things, I suppose, that made it more sensitive this time. I read the product page and reviews after I used it, so I saw that itโs bamboo spheres and multiple acids. I would consider buying this if I didnโt already have too many masks in my stash! @eshoe
@sister13 I found the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask 2.03 oz/ 60 mL to be remarkably similar to the Alpyn mask. Just another option for when you arenโt swimming in masks๐
A hydrating sheet mask that takes away redness sounds right up my alley. Going to pick up that variety set.
Yes, itโs a nice set! @missy94612 This Aqua one didnโt have much scent at all, but Iโm also not very sensitive to fragrance. I was trying to remember to notice for my review this time and definitely thought it had almost no scent this time but I trust you are right about these in general, masking queen! ๐๐ @eshoe
@missy94612 @as long as you donโt mind a little scent, the Lapcos are great. They are fragranced, which is just a bonus to know ahead of time if you are planning to pick up a pack!
@sister13 I didn't realize the Wander lip oil had a tint either! Great combo. Glad you get another day to take some time this weekend.
Yes, I think this was a Sephora code gwp, I looked it up, they have a few different tints to the full size, was just surprised by this one, though not in a bad way! @missjeanie
B is for Herbivore Blue Tansy. Today my masking routine was pretty simple. I cleansed, patted my face dry with a clean towel and applied the mask. I left it on for 20 min. The mask has a blue tinge to it and it was a gel like consistency. I have to admit I didn't get much done this weekend so I cleaned the bathroom while the mask was doing it's thing. After wiping off my my skin felt a bit tighter and a bit dry. I applied Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream to finish.
Theme: Share your Mask Routine - When I have more time after cleansing I used my face steamer before applying the mask so my pores are more open. I finish off with serum of choice and a moisturizer.
@Mellmars1185 Sounds decent enough! I'm usually multitasking while I mask too ๐
@Mellmars1185 I did like this mask, but I noticed after about a month or so, it just doesn't perform like it does freshly opened ๐คท
Mask while you task! Love it @Mellmars1185! ๐ Love the photo too. Is this Herbivore mask one you'd consider purchasing a full size?
@itsfi Hehe I like that! Although it was a nice mask experience. It did not leave my skin feeling hydrated or extra smooth so I would not buy the full size.
@Mellmars1185, have you tried Peach & Lily Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask? It's similar to the Herbivore in that it is intended to exfoliate and smooth skin. It also contains hyaluronic acid, cica, chamomile and aloe to help soothe and hydrate the skin. I use it in the warmer months to unclog pores along my chin and jawline. It can tingle but does a good job for me.
@Mellmars1185 I love your jars, very pretty๐คฉ That mask is refreshing, if the scent isnโt too strong for your liking. Great idea to mask while cleaning, I might need to copy you in that tomorrow!
@Mellmars1185 Very cool! I've been eyeing that blue tansy and I think I have a little sample somewhere but I'm taking a break from Herbivore this year, lol.
@QueenMarceline Lol! I think I recall you had a bad experience with the Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL ? There are plenty more fish in the sea ๐
@Mellmars1185 Yes it was that product, how do you like the Blue Tansy?
@QueenMarceline It was nice to try as a sample. I don't feel like it did anything beneficial for my skin except for temporarily made it feel tightened. It has a light floral scent. I wouldn't purchase a full size but it was not a bad experience.
