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
@eshores, no, they're not the same. I think the INCI list for the papaya mask on the site has the ingredients list for the lemon peel by mistake. Here's what the label on my bottle of the SEPHORA COLLECTION AHA Peeling Masks Papaya looks like - it lists papaya extract:
The watermelon full sheet mask is a favorite in this house. I didn't know that Sephora had these peels until I saw your post. I like the sound of them being gentle. Will have to look into them more.
@missy94612, the new peels are nice - gentle but gets the job done. My skin felt so smooth (and still feels smooth). ๐ is there a particular flavor you're leaning towards? If you pick one of these up, please let us know your thoughts on them (and your husband's too!)
They all sound great - that's the problem. LOL. We still have some exfoliating masks and peels so we're not in a rush. I have gift card and may pick up one of them to see how we like it and if we do, there's always room in the cart during the sale. Ha!
That watermelon biocellulose is such a joy to use - soothing and refreshing. You're right about it being great after a peel.
@elleb810, it's a good all year round mask; one of my favorites from the Sephora Collection. ๐
@itsfi oh that peel caught my eye lol
@lmaster, I say, "get it!" ๐
Oh, wait. I think you are on a low / no buy, yes? In that case, I say, "get it during a sale or promo!" ๐๐คฃ๐ I'm trying to be a helpful and supportive enabler. lol. Which of the peels do you think you'd pick up - the papaya, lemon or orange peel?
Well, I literally just bought the PC peel but,,, if it's still available I would want to try the papaya @itsfi maybe by the next sale
Her new peel @lmaster?
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel 1 oz/ 30 mL
It looks interesting. Iโve read itโs similar to DE Babyfacial. I received a tube as part of a gwp but was waiting to give it a try. Would love to hear about your take on it after youโve had time to put it to a good test run.
Yes @itsfi I would absolutely compare it to DE, I've only used it once so far, so I'll keep you posted!
Hmmmm adding the peel to my cart now @itsfi.โฆsounds lovely and easy to use. Maybe as a nice 1-2x a month treatment!
@eshoe, it's a nice, gentle one to have in a collection. Is there a particular scent / flavor you're interested in?
Well @itsfi I took a peek and went with the SEPHORA COLLECTION AHA Peeling Masks Papaya. I also added the SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Tonic Passionfruit and the SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Tonic Dragonfruit might not be far behind. The mini needs a tonic but has no interest in skincare at the moment. Hoping something light, fun and fruity might appeal to her.
@eshoe, good reminder, I have a couple of those toners, or maybe, I just have one?! I think I just have one... Uh oh; not good that I don't know.
Woaahhhh. Wait. ๐ฏ The mini "has no interest in skincare at the moment." That hurts my heart a little.
Oh I am curious what you think of them, @itsfi! If you locate them๐
It hurts my heart more than a little. Gentle hints didnโt help, so I recommended she begin a simple three-step routine. That was followed with a quick, โI am not interested in skin care.โ I am still processing that. It may take me awhile๐ข She still has plenty of time to come around!
@itsfi I've been wondering about the SC Peel! Out of the three varieties, the Papaya is the one I was most interested in - so it's great to hear you enjoyed it! I like the sound of it being more gentle ๐
@Shosh85, I like that this is gentle on the skin. The most gentle peel in my stash are the First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads. I havenโt pitted them against each other side by side but I think the Sephora Collection papaya mask would give it a good run and may even be more gentle than the FAB Radiance Pads.
What peels / chemical exfoliants are in your rotation this winter?
@itsfi I totally forgot about the FAB Radiance Pads - I remember really liking those! I'll definitely have to add those to my next order. ๐
Lately I've had a couple peels/exfoliants in rotation: Summer Fridays Overtime Mask 2.25 oz/ 64 g which is a top favorite of mine, and the other is the Purlisse Blue Lotus Seed Mud Mask + Exfoliant, that I kinda feel just meh about, but am trying to use up. Soon I'll finally be opening up thSEPHORA COLLECTION Instant Masks Grapefruit Peeling that I bought a while ago.
@Shosh85, the SF Overtime mask is a good one. Iโm conflicted whether I like that one or the PTR pumpkin enzyme mask more. ๐ค
Oh my goodness, you just reminded me that I have that SC grapefruit peeling mask โฆ somewhere โฆ Okay, now I need to figure out if I put it with my scrubs or masks. ๐ง Ugh, this always happens when I try a new system for organizing my things. ๐
@itsfi The SF and the PTR masks are pretty much a tie for me! I really love them both equally. It's like picking between a pumpkin spiced latte and a pumpkin pie ๐
