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
@eshoe Love the Babyfacial. I think it's my fav product from DE. Sounds like Facetory is on to a good improvement!
You know, @missjeanie, it might be mine, too. I used to love the La La but just did not repurchase after finished a jar oh, a year or so ago? I like the C-Tango eye cream, and the B serum, but I havenโt gone beyond a DS with those.
@eshoe I've used and really enjoyed a lot of DE products. TLC was my nightly serum for a few years. I like the Ctango eye cream as well. Lala was wonderful for me in the winter, but I've found others items that I like as much for less. The Babyfacial is the one that I just haven't seen the same results from another product. At least not yet ๐
๐
@eshoe Sounds like the DE product is a good one! I don't beleive that one is available in Canada. One day i hope to get my hands on it!
No, it isnโt @Mellmars1185. I believe the The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution 1 oz/ 30 mL is not, either. Someday!!
@eshoe I also love the BabyFacial from DE but it is quite intense, have not used it in a while... maybe I need to crank it out ๐ Also, WOO HOO to Facetory for doing a reformulation correctly. It's so refreshing to see especially with some of the reformulation fails we have received in products lately.
YES, @QueenMarceline - so many times a reformulated products ends up rather ho-hum. This was a big upgrade, and worthy of a repurchase!
@eshoe Yes, always such a wonderful surprise when that happens ๐
Ampoule Black tea Cosmetea

Too bad it didn't seem to live up to its claims, @lmaster. But it would definitely be interesting to see if you experienced better results during a different season.
@quspork I'm very curious about it ๐ค
@lmaster, I agree with you; I really feel that climate can play a big role in your results from this mask (or just skincare in general). Sure, it may just be that the mask is more hydrating than nourishing, but this winter seems to have been particularly cold and drying on the skin and it makes sense that it would have an effect on masking results. I've been finding this winter, but this month in particular, that my skin just slurps up the serums in sheet masks lately, even the more cream or oil based sheet masks. I'll be very curious to know how this Comsetea mask works out for you in the warmer months.
@itsfi that makes so much sense,,, and I've never really realized how climate can change skincare,, until this winter!
@lmaster, I know my winters are nothing compared to the ones other people have, but I feel like it was so much colder and drier than past winters. My skin didn't experience dry patches and flakes so much but I could feel the dryness and it was really made clear when I'd use some sheet masks and could barely get to 20 minutes with them because my skin has sluuuuuurrrped up all the serum. ๐ฒ
Ohhhh, the lessons learned when it comes to skincare. ๐ I feel like I'm learning the hard way a lot more times than I want to. ๐ I'm looking forward to spring but also know that means other skincare concerns to think through ... like enlarged pores and oily T-zones. ๐คฃ
@lmaster Sorry this was unimpressive. It's been pretty cold here too, and I definitely feel like my skin has been extra thirsty. Sometimes I don't fully know what to feel about a mask until I've tried it in both winter and summer ๐
@Shosh85 I feel like I'm really noticing how the dry climate effects my skincare routine,, I'm going to be more lenient on masks during the winter ๐ฅถ
Oh I haven't seen this one before @lmaster . I remember thinking the cosmotea ones I'd tried were okay for fillers but nothing out of this world. Hopefully it fares better come warmer weather!
@missjeanie I think it's just so dry right now that maybe the air got more use out of the serum lol
