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
This sounds like a great one to have on hand, @Shosh85, especially for the warmer months! I donโt think I have tried anything yet from this brand, so when I start, it looks like this will be the one to try๐๐ผ
@eshoe I definitely agree, love having a good stash of Aloe masks to use in the summertime! Out of the 7 masks I've tried from this line, so far this is my favorite!
@Shosh85, the packaging on these always get me. ๐ Iโm a big fan of having aloe masks on hand! Adding this one to my list.
@itsfi Yup, I definitely like having some good Aloe masks on hand, especially in the summertime! Do you have a favorite?
@Shosh85, can I have favorites? ๐ Most aloe sheet masks agree with my face, but I tend to keep on hand at least one of either (or both) the Benton Aloe Soothing Mask and the Merbliss Wedding Dress Aloe Honey Soothing Clear Seal Mask.
@itsfi Oh yes, I've heard great things about both of these! I've only tried one Benton mask, but would definitely love to try more! ๐
@Shosh85, is it the Benton Snail Bee sheet mask that youโve used? I like that one, and the serum is good too.
@itsfi Nope, haven't tried that one yet, but I definitely want to! I tried the "Goodbye Redness Centella Mask Pack" - which is a great one to always have on hand.
@Shosh85, thatโs a good one! Iโm not sure if Benton has come out with more masks; I think they have 3 - the centella asiatica one, the aloe mask and the snail bee mask. All are loves for me.
For this week, a โJโ for โJuicy Peachโ
@eshoe sorry it's not a repurchase!! Sounded so promising
Peach as an ingredient should come with a disclaimer for a likewise scent, @lmaster
@eshoe Too bad both masks were just ok - the scent on both sound disappointing. A name like "Juicy Peach" would definitely get my hopes up for something more. Glad to hear the lip balm was enjoyable! ๐
Well, lip balm to the rescue, @Shosh85! I am still on the fence about the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Peach Iced Tea; only reason being if that I just started a good effort kn my LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Gummy Bear. Which will likely take a couple of years with earnest effort to finish!
@eshoe I wish they'd offer minis of ALL of them! It took about a year to finish the full size, and I'm not sure I'd ever commit to a full size again
@Shosh85 this sounds like my Holiday set dream๐ฅฐ What other product can you think of that you love, is enjoyable to use and works, and seems to last forever? Such a problem to have๐
@eshoe, Iโm bummed to hear about the no peach scent on the sheet mask. ๐ From my use of the avatara masks, the older versions like aloe, hyaluronic acid, etc seem to perform better than the fruit line.
You know, @itsfi, I feel like I have used the brand before. After all, itโs hard to leave Target without at least one sheet mask๐ This just looked and sounded so appealing. If I come across any of the older ones, now at least I know itโs worth a shot!
This was included in a set of masks I received. I hadn't planned on using it when I first received it, but a friend's mom helped me gather more intel about modern day harvesting practices (more details at the end of the spoiler) that make it a little less cringey.
The information you shared about newer harvesting techniques is encouraging, @itsfi. SNP uses that as an ingredient for a few of their masks; I wonder if they too are moving away (if they ever used) from traditional methods. I had not looked into how it was obtained in the first place for fear of discovering some very disturbing info.
I just began looking into seahorse extract, and the first few uses for itโฆ.ermโฆsurprised me. This might take awhile to get to the bottom of it! @lmaster
