💕😌 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💗

@Shosh85 the scent sounds really nice!

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  It was! Can't really complain! 😃

[PrettyPaint]

@Shosh85  It is convenient to have the little peel pads that come with it. That's a nice variety of ingredients in the mask. 

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  I really do like the multi-step masks that come with peeling pads - I thinks it's a great way to prep for the mask! I agree, it is a nice ingredient list - I especially like that mask has Sodium Hyaluronate as the 3rd ingredient, and propolis is always a welcome sight to see!

[quspork]

Oh, this sounds nice, @Shosh85. I love that the peel pad had a finger pouch- how convenient for use!

[Shosh85]

@quspork  Yeah, the finger pouch does make it easier.... sometimes it's the little things that makes a big difference! 😃

@Shosh85, “thin, slimy gel” on a “thin, messy cotton” sheet sound like a nice pairing to me. 😍 I feel like lately the tack / stickiness from a mask tends to last more near the half hour mark for me. Has that  duration been typical for you? I’m wondering if it’s the weather or if it’s my skin; or maybe a combo of both. Half hour for me is longer than usual. Hmmm… 🤔 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  This was a really nice one, but just didn't give me that wow factor.... which is getting harder and harder for me to find now that I've tried so many masks. 
Especially with moisturizing masks, it does seem like the tackiness has been lasting a little longer than usual! I think a combo of skin/weather is a good assumption! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I hear you. It makes sense though - the more masks you use, the more selective you’ll be with deciding which is really a “wow!” mask for you! 

[lmaster]

 not really a multi step, but it's a multi mask combo and I'm going for it ☺️

You need me night care and quick morning masks 

• Received these from facetory
• The night mask seemed more of a thinner material and contoured my face better than the morning version
• I would say the night version more so would fall into the microfiber category, the morning mask was definitely reminiscent of straight cotton sheet
• Scent on the night version was light lavender and it was so relaxing, whereas I didn't notice much scent on the morning version
• Fit on both masks were long at the chin and forehead, however the night version adhered so much better! The day time was but nearly as saturated and dried around the chin areas after 15 minutes
• Wear time was 25 minutes for nighttime and 20 for day
• Results for night, were hydrated and moisturized and nourished skin, daytime, lightly hydrated, lightly moisturized skin.
• Tackiness on the night mask lingered long, I waited 30 minutes to see if it would subside, nope! Stayed tacky until moisturizer was applied
• Tackiness on the daytime was zero! 
• I liked these, fun to use, nothing super special to run out and stock up on

@lmaster I was surprised to see the morning mask was only recommended for five minutes less than the evening one! Sounds like an overall ‘ok’ mask.

[lmaster]

@eshoe yep! The morning mask was definitely mehhhh, the nighttime version was much better

[quspork]

Sounds like a fun little duo, despite the tackiness at night, @lmaster!

[lmaster]

@quspork it was really fun!! The nighttime version was my favorite despite the tackiness

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  This is so funny because without seeing this, I did this day/mask combo yesterday for last week's theme. 

[lmaster]

@PrettyPaint haha!!! Did you pick up a scent on the daytime??

[itsfi]

@lmaster, yay for a multi mask combo! Sometimes our skin needs masking in the morning and evenings!! 😍 They seem well suited for when they’re intended to be used, especially that nighttime one - the lavender scent on it sounds like it would be perfect for ending the night. 

[lmaster]

I was pleasantly surprised with just how relaxing it really was @itsfi great end to the night 😴

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I haven't seen these! They sound great, and I love that there's one for day and night! It's perfect that the nighttime one smells like lavender! Glad you enjoyed them! 😃

[lmaster]

Thank you!! The lavender was truly relaxing @Shosh85
