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
Doesn't sound too bad at all! @itsfi the peach scent sounds most fabulous
@lmaster, it was a good mask pack, and peachy scented too! Based on the varieties I've tried from this brand, it seems like my skin prefers the mask packs meant for evening use.
I had planned to use this mask for "D" week, for a "do over" but I picked up the wrong mask. Oops. Instead I'll try to stretch this one into innovative (?) or maybe beauty ideas to try in 2021 because it's a mask I tried in 2021. Hahaha! This will just fall into the category of "not following the challenge" mask.
Mask: | Mediheal Golden Chip Acupoint Mask - Illuminating |
Material: | Charcoal mask |
Adherence: | Good |
Fit: | Width was fine; length was off at the forehead (1" too short) and the chin (1/4" too long). |
Essence / Serum: | Clear; standard viscosity, not too runny |
Scent: | Very subtle scent with a slightly herbaceous / plant scent |
Claim(s): | Brightening, toning, stimulating |
Other Noteworthy Qualities: | This claims to have some acupressure benefits with acupoints on the side of the mask that is to be applied to the skin. Directions call for pressing these acupoints upon initial application and before removing the mask, the latter of which I forgot to do. Oops. |
Results: | I'm not sure about the acupoints, both due to my only use this mask this one time and also I'm not sure what I should have expected from it. From the sheet mask ingredients themselves though, my skin felt hydrated, dark spots and redness looked lighter / faded and my complexion looked brightened. |
Repurchase?: | Probably not. I am a huge fan of Mediheal and their catalog of sheet masks. The results of this one were wonderful but I'm not altogether certain that they couldn't be reproduced with another mask, and one at more wallet friendly price point - the acupoints in this masks drives the price up. |
What the Mask Looks Like:
Apparently, acupressure and masking may be the next trend. Who knew?!! Well, Mediheal did. ๐
Looks like Charlotte Tilbury will be releasing a new mask that combines cryotherapy and facial acupressure. Available mid-August for $40. ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ @SportyGirly125 posted info from Trendmood on the new mask in the product release and Charlotte Tilbury threads https://community.sephora.com/t5/Beauty-Confidential/2021-PRODUCT-RELEASES-THREAD/m-p/5922109/highli...
@eshoe @Sunnysmom @lmaster @missy94612 @Shosh85 @Kim888 @quspork @Samtian @missjeanie @PrettyPaint @ather
More details. I did further research and here's what I learned:
I found the above information in an article on Get The Gloss website, titled "Charlotte Tilbury's New Ice Mask Promises Firmer, Lifted Skin in 10 Minutes".
@Sunnysmom @missjeanie @eshoe @quspork @lmaster @PrettyPaint @ather @Shosh85
@itsfi I will try a reusable mask that lifts my skin 253%๐ โฆand it has pockets?๐ค @ather @lmaster @missjeanie @PrettyPaint @quspork @Shosh85 @Sunnysmom
Yeah @eshoe, I could see not being so sure about this one if it only lifted the skin by 252%. ๐๐คฃ๐
@itsfi that is serious stat! I would have loved to have been in on the study. Maybe someday๐
@eshoe, we should do our own study. I wonder if we'd come up with the same percentages. ๐ค
@eshoe Hmmm I love when my dresses have pockets maybe masks with pockets is the next cool thing ๐ฅถ
I love pockets, @ather, donโt we all? I am appreciating the value of hidden ones more and more, too. They tend to not lose stuff. I was out in nature this week and when I didnโt have on my sweatshirt with pockets, I kept trying to place my hands there. Thankfully I had backup pantsโ pockets.
@eshoe Oh no I hate when I do that and Iโm wearing leggings. So no pockets to be found!!
Yeah, the key pockets are nice but I need lipgloss pockets @ather โบ๏ธ
@itsfi Thank you so much for the added info on this. I agree that the "data" sounds a little sketch, but I'm still interested in trying it out.
@PrettyPaint, definitely let us know how it performs if you pick it up. The cooling sounds like it would be nice when the weather heats up
@itsfi thank you for your extensive research!!
@lmaster, no problem. Hope it was helpful.
