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
@QueenMarceline I hope you can find it! I really like the fusion line.
The packaging on this is so pretty, @PrettyPaint! The Fusion line seems to be more agreeable in terms of fit, I have found that as well. Did this have any scent that you noticed, I am curious๐ค
@eshoe I used it a few days ago so I hope I'm remembering correctly, but I'm almost positive it smelled like roses.
Thank you, @PrettyPaint! They have a Vitamin C/HA fusion one that has the most delicious sweet candy orange scent. I think I have noticed scents that match the packaging more in this line, too.
oh yum! I love orange candy scents @eshoe
Me too, @PrettyPaint. Itโs such a relief to find a vitamin C product that doesnโt have a rancid scent๐ I have been using the SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Tonic Passionfruit and it reminds me of sweet oranges, too.
E for everyday masking and exfoliating enzymes, I for Innisfree, and the copper peptides fit this week's precious metals theme
Sheet Mask:
AMOREPACIFIC Treatment Enzyme Peel Cleansing Powder 1.94 oz/ 55 g
I love the Innisfree green tea line. I haven't tried the lip mask yet. The daily mask pack looks good too. Have you seen a green tea based mask pack that you like alot?
That's great when you find a daily mask that's a winner! @itsfi
@lmaster, I've been fortunate with the daily mask packs that I've used so far - none have broken me out and even the least liked of them have added some hydration to my skin. The bummer though is that of the faves of the ones I've tried, 2 are/were limited edition and 2 are not the easiest to locate and go in and out of stock with some frequency. Of course, right?! Love a sheet mask, whether it's an individual, single use mask or a mask pack and there's a high probabibiity that it'll find itself on the path to discontinuation right around the time I discover it. ๐๐คฃ๐
@itsfi I know,,, all too well ..I get nervous to even say I like a mask anymore ๐คฃ
Hahaha! I know what you mean @lmaster! It sometimes feels like the odds of a mask being discontinued increases if we say we love it! ๐ I know there are a few brands that change their sheet masks every so often but it feels like weโve seen a lot of discontinued sheet masks lately. A lot of good sheet masks being discontinued. Grrrr! ๐
@itsfi I wondered how masking packs like that preformed. Happy to hear it was good!!! The lip mask looks good too. How was it for performance?
@ather, I've been pretty fortunate with the daily sheet mask packs I've tried - I've not had a bad reaction to any of the ones I've used, though the scent on a few of them have not been my favorite.
The Innisfree green tea lip mask is a good one - a bit on the thicker side and a smidge goopy, but not greasy. It coats my lips nicely and I've found it's a nice one to use during the cooler months when I go between the chilly, windy and cold outdoors and the warm though drying central heating indoors - can't win - it's an uphill battle for my skin against dryness and dehydration in the winter months. ๐ I left my jar of the Innisfree lip mask at work but will try to take a photo of the consistency next week if I remember.
@itsfi I know exactly what you mean. Iโve been also struggling lately. And itโs funny Iโll get to a good spot then bam out of nowhere itโs crazy dry again. And my lips. I have little balms everywhere. I have to keep on top of it or they gets tooo bad.
@ather, winter has a special way of putting my skin into a tailspin. ๐ I feel like this winter has been better than previous ones but it was by no means one that left my skin unscathed. ๐ The lesson on the season remains, once again, oils. And for my skin, cream or oil based sheet masks. โฅ๏ธ
@itsfi I agree!! Although this winter seems extra dry here for me. I think I have learned how to treat my skin before I end up too dry. I always find after moving it takes time to figure out what my skin needs and how to respond before it gets worse.
Wow, that list is chock-full of happy skin ingredients, @itsfi! I am impressed you are able to get through those boxes. Almost requires more frequent morning maskingโ๏ธ
@eshoe, they really did a good job with the ingredients in this mask pack. I don't use daily masks packs as frequently as I have in the past and it takes me longer to work through them than before because nowadays, I don't use them up in 30 days. Last year, I went through 2 full 30+ day masks and 3 - 7 day packs. Too early to tell, but it'll be interesting how often I incorporate a daily mask pack into my skincare routines this year.
Always love the AP enzyme powder, @itsfi. The Miguhara masks sound pretty nice for daily masking.
@quspork, I keep coming back to the AP enzyme powder; I like how finelly milled it is and that a little goes a long way. I tend to use it with more regularity when the weather warms up but it's really a gentle and effective exfoliant year round.
