💕😌 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 💮

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💗

@eshoe, I’m not experiencing it now; it’s usually more something I deal with in the summer months. So far I haven’t had issues along my jawline in the cooler months. Winter is kind to my skin in that regard. 🙂

[quspork]

Ohh, the Generex mask sounds great, @eshoe!

[eshoe]

It was, @quspork, and I can’t help but think that it would make a great chilled post-sun-time mask come summer!

[lmaster]

@eshoe what!!?? A scar?? What the heck

[eshoe]

Yes @lmaster, that was a first time for something like that😢 Not what you expect when you are trying to remedy a situation. Oh well, on to others!

[QueenMarceline]

@eshoe Thank you for sharing, I'm a fan of the creme shop and have been eyeing these patches because I love a hydrocolloid patch. I'll skip these for now 🙂

[eshoe]

@QueenMarceline they might work just fine for others, you never know. Unfortunately my skin did not take well to them.

[QueenMarceline]

@eshoe I have a couple brands I enjoy, they caught my eye because of how "cute" they were and I convinced myself I had to try them, haha!

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe Thanks for sharing! I have been getting jawline acne off and on. I hope it clears soon for you

[eshoe]

Thank you, @Mellmars1185. I opened a foil sample of Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 8 oz / 236 mL last night and this morning noticed the bumpy texture has nearly disappeared. That was the first time I have tried that, but so far I am extremely impressed. Hopefully it continues to clear!

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe Glad that worked for you. I will keep in mind a product like that when something similar happens to me. Wish we could get PC here in Canada.

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, Paula’s Choice ships to Canada but I don’t know whether there are additional charges for that. You can also find some PC products through Amazon Canada, but I’m not sure whether the price or markups if there are any make it cost prohibitive. @eshoe 

[eshoe]

Oh I did not know it was unavailable there, @Mellmars1185! I wonder why🤔 I have used it for the past three nights now and the bumps have nearly disappeared. Nordstrom sells it, too; I wonder if they ship it to Canada?

[Mellmars1185]

Detox Dandies - I used a Biore Charcoal Cleanser,  Innisfree innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz/ 100 mL , Biossance Squalane + Tea Tree Balancing Oil 1.01 oz/ 30 mL in a sample size and Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream 3.04 oz/ 90 mL sample.

I cleansed and pat dry face. I then applied the clay mask and left on for 10 min. I don't leave clay masks on longer than recommended because I do find that they can be drying. I really liked how this mask applied and dried down. It was not over drying at all. I rinsed off with warm water and used a wash cloth for any bits that did not initially rinse off. After drying face I applied balancing oil and a moisturizer. This was my first time trying this mask, balancing oil and moisturizer. I am hoping my skin is happy after this experience!

 

*Edit * I wanted to add this is a perfect theme for my face this week. I have had a few breakouts. Maybe because of the weather change ? I have been eating cleaner and keeping up with my skin routine. 

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, yes to the Innisfree clay mask. 👍🏼 Glad to hear it is working out for you. 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Thank you!

@Mellmars1185  

That Innisfree clay mask is a winner in our house. We heard about it from some of the ladies here and got a sample - love that it is not too drying. It's on the list for the next mask purchase.

[Mellmars1185]

@missy94612 @quspork  The price point is excellent and this tub will last me a long time!

[quspork]

I've heard so many good things about the Innisfree mask, @Mellmars1185!

[lmaster]

@Mellmars1185 I love that innisfree mask

[QueenMarceline]

@Mellmars1185 haha! You look so cute in your charcoal mask.
