6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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 ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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?

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Rewinding to last weekโ€™s summer/fall mask routine (thank you @missy94612!). Keeping the skin exfoliated and soft has been my goal๐ŸŒžโ›ฑ๐Ÿ•ถ

I did a little dance when I found the Biossance Squalane + Glycolic Renewal Mask in a mini size. I had wanted to try this for awhile now, mostly in part due to  raving reviews. Peels and exfoliating masks make me a little nervous, because I never know just how serious the actives will be. Thankfully, this was just about as gentle as it could get. The pale pink creamy mask had tiny granules throughout that provided gentle physical abrasion. As far as chemical exfoliation, I was anticipating some tingling due to the glycolic acid, but it failed to transpire. After leaving it on for about five minutes (recommended time is 3-10), I very carefully rinsed with a Makeup Eraser. My skin felt softened and smooth to the touch, without a trace of redness. It was a winner for me, and this little tube should last awhile with 1x a month use.

The Kaja Balmy Bento Lip Balm + Scrub Piรฑa Colada is a repeat; I love the gentle pineapple scrub on the bottom. I wish the coconut lip balm had a sweet coconut scent, but that is the only thing I would change about it.

 

The Skin of Queen Soqu Vitamin C+ Aloe Vera Brightening Mask is an oversized-on-the-sides, cushy, stretchy thin-medium weight sheet that is one of the easier ones I have unfolded. It has a scent that seems to try to lean citrus, but it is too faint and too close to โ€˜cleanโ€™ to stand out. The clear gel serum is lovely, and there is just enough to add extra to my forehead and cheeks before the packet was empty.

 

I removed the mask after about 25 minutes. My skin felt cool, without any sign of tack. I didnโ€™t notice any brightening, but it was enjoyable to wear and checked the sheet mask off my daily to-do list. This is one I will happily use again.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe 

What great goals. What I'd give for soft and smooth, exfoliated skin all the time. My skin has been so dry that I'm somewhat scared to using any exfoliation other than once per week. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612 oh no, I promise you I have been there. One thing I changed in my routine that helped and made a notice difference in a couple of weeks was my cleansing routine. I stopped doing my AM cleanse, and went down to one cleanse in the evening instead of two (oil then either a balm, gel, foam, etc.).

 

Since doing this, I have slowly added exfoliation back into my routine, where I  now feel comfortable doing it a couple of times a week, although they are usually weak. No crazy peels more than once a month! 

 

Stress could also be a factor, it was for me. Skin just doesnโ€™t seem to like it much, any more than we doโ˜บ๏ธ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  The sheet mask sounds nice! I love using aloe masks in the summertime! โ˜€๏ธ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yes, they are so refreshing, @Shosh85! This one especially, it was such a comfortable fitโ˜บ๏ธ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  Ooooo I like exfoliation and gentle!! I definitely need to try the Biossance! Great masking sesh!
