💕😌 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 💮

Spoiler

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💗

@ather, thank you. My skin had its ups and downs this month, in uncharacteristic ways than it normally does. Not sure what triggered the downs (breaking out, but not in the areas where that usually happens; more redness, etc) so I dialed things down and went back to basics with my skincare. That seems to be working … 🤞🏼 

That’s great news that you’re enjoying nice weather; you had a rough stretch of storms for a bit there! I hope it stays too.

Here are the sheet masks I’ve used in the past 2 weeks.

Dr. Jart+ Dermask™ Water Jet Soothing Hydra Solution Face Mask 
Dr. Jart+ Dermask™ Vital Hydra Solution™ Face Mask 5-Pack Value Set 
(K-beauty)
I found them pretty similar except the soothing one has a thyme scent and the hydration one is a bit more moisturizing.

I like them both a lot. I put them on for 15-20 min and massaged the excess of lotion in the skin. They’re both refreshing and give me the moisture boost that I need in winter. They fit well on my skin and stay in place (sometimes I find that sheet masks fits weirdly on my skin). They don’t feel sticky after I remove it. The excess of product was eventually absorbed in my skin

I will purchase them again. They’re products I’d like to keep in my routine.

Clear Turn Uruuru Moisture Bomb Face Mask by KOSE (J-beauty)

On sale at 7,99 for a 7 pack

This mask feels very fresh on my skin.

It fits well on my skin and stays well in place if I move around. I like that the 7 masks come in the same “ziplock bag” because it’s less waste.

I’ve only used 1/7 masks, but I would definitely buying them again when I’m done. I would like to try other masks from the same line ( I think there are 5 different types).

The mask promises 8 hours of sleep in 8 minutes. After 20 minutes my skin was very comfortable, moisturized and glowy. It could feel like I had a good night sleep 😉

One Night Rescue Face Mask (pink - hydration) by LuLuLun (J-beauty)

4$ CAN

I wasn’t impressed by this mask. I didn’t find it made a big difference on my skin. It was ok, but it’s not something I would purchase again. Also, the mask didn’t fit well on my skin.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Holiday Coconut Foot Mask 
(Made in Korea)

First, I used a pumice stone on dry feet on rough areas. Then I had a foot bath with Gehwol rosemary bath salts for about 15 minutes. Then I used the foot masks for 20 min. I could walk a bit with them in the house but I had to be careful because it’s slippery. I wear women’s size 9 and it fitted well. If you are over that size, it might not fit or could be too thight. I massaged the excess of product in the skin and I put regular socks on. My feet were very soft. I would purchase it again.

It has a lot of nourishing/moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, macadamia oil and coconut oil. It also has a pleasant soft coconut scent. The socks were cute with their pink and red patterns.

Cracked Heel Rescue Patch Argan Oil by PUREDERM (K-beauty)

2,99 CAN
I discovered these foot masks recently and they’re one of my favorite.
I really like that they’re like band-aid for the heels because it’s more confortable to walk around with them or to go to sleep with them.
I use them after my bath at night and removed them when I wake up the next morning. My heels are so soft after.
It’s the 2nd time I buy them and I will definitely buy them again.

Wow, what an excellent review of your recent masks, @Lila12345678! The Clear Turn is especially intriguing to me, with its promise of 'The mask promises 8 hours of sleep in 8 minutes. After 20 minutes my skin was very comfortable, moisturized and glowy. It could feel like I had a good night sleep.'  I hope you found yourself seriously rested after this one 😴

[ather]

@Lila12345678  Great masking! Those heal ones look good. Where did you get them? I enjoy the Sephora collection foot masks I usually stock up every winter!! 

[Lila12345678]

@ather 

I bought it 2 times on two differents websites that sell k-beauty and j-beauty

1- Lamourlife

2- Oceanbuy

[ather]

@Lila12345678  Thanks I’ll check it out!! 

[itsfi]

That Kose 7-pack looks and sounds fabulous @Lila12345678! 😍 I've tried a few single use Kose sheet masks in years past and found them to be quite good. I'm all for 8 hours of sleep in 8 minutes!! 😊 Oh, that argan oil cracked heel mask looks amazing, and great for this time of year! Making a note to research that more.

[lmaster]

@Lila12345678 ohhh the mask packs, love that they zip lock 

[happyskincare]

I keep on finding amazing challenges on BIC💖💖💖

last night I used for the first time a P atchology mud mask and wow it was delightful! I revived this for Christmas along with a Skin Gym face steamer🤍after I did the mask I steamed my face and wow I feel so refreshed right now!🩷I definitely will be repurchasing some of these masks!🤍🧖‍♀️🍵🎀✨🤍

 

[eshoe]

Ahhhhh, this was soothing just to visualise, @happyskincare! A steamer has been on my wish list for awhile now. How often do you find yourself using it?

[happyskincare]

It was so soothing and nice to destress and just pamper myself❤️ I think we all need to every once and a while @eshoe ❤️I use my steamer 2-3 times a week and I can visibly see how my pores are so much better! I have visibly more clear skin with using this the last 2 months❤️ I definitely would recommend getting one!❤️

[eshoe]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this, @happyskincare. It really does seem like a smart little investment for your skin!

[ather]

@happyskincare  Sounds like a perfect masking session! 

[happyskincare]

Yes defensively @ather ❤️❤️❤️

[itsfi]

@happyskincare, I've wondered about those Patchology mud masks. Great to hear they worked well for you. I'll have to try out using a steamer after a mud mask; hard to say no to something that makes you feel refreshed!

[happyskincare]

Yes! This mud mask visibly purified my skin❤️ such a great refresh! I’m in love with patchology masks!

[lmaster]

Oh this sounds wonderful!! @happyskincare 

[happyskincare]

Thank you so much @lmaster ❤️❤️❤️

• I love the dual action of this sheet not to mention the cute factor
• Plenty of extra serum in the pouch
• Adorable print on the sheet, the fit is meh, big eye holes and a touch long at the forehead
• Wear time was 20 minutes
• My skin had a couple blemishes that benefited from this mask, especially the next morning, they looked noticably calmer
• I would absolutely use this one again
