💕😌 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💗

@eshoe, yes, me too. 🙂 It's bound to happen. 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Ahhh no!!! Do you have a photo of the ingedients in Japanese? 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I know. It seems like it's likely something in the mask that my skin didn't like because the redness was pretty much all over and not just on the extra sensitive parts of my face. Now, I know. 

Here's what's on the reverse side of the packet:

Awww, thank you @heartsmyface! Looking at the list, it's either the rosemary leaf extract is too concentrated or it's the pueraria myrifica root extract. I've used sheet masks with rosemary leaf extract in it and haven't had a problem, though it's been much lower on the ingredient list. I don't recall ever seeing "pueraria myrifica root extract" in sheet masks I've used before. Okay, going to have to look into that. Thank you again!! 🤗🤗

[lmaster]

@itsfi oh so sorry to hear you had a reaction 😧

[itsfi]

Thanks @lmaster. 😀 The redness went away, so that was good!! 

[Kim888]

@itsfi @Bummer, Rosemary sounds so nice and relaxing but no rosemary scent and too much tingle does not sound fun!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I was really excited when I saw rosemary but this one is a pass for me. It could work out better for someone else. It would have been nice if it had a rosemary scent to it.

This is the superfood coconut mask. Sadly it did not spell like coconut, it had a very plain scent. The fit was a little odd but not bad. It was well saturated. After my skin felt hydrated and absorb took was decent. Overall, a nice mask but nothing crazy special 

I also used the Dead Sea mineral mask which isn’t on theme but I just wanted to share. I know I received this from one of the BIC ladies but unfortunately I lost the note of who! This was a really interesting mask. The fit was one that had too many cuts so it was a bit hard to get on. It was fairly scentless/mask scented. It felt very cooling while it was on. It’s one you need to rinse off. I was really impressed at how brightening it was! After use my skin looked really glowy and hydrated and I would totally buy this !!

@Kim888  Oooh, the Dead Sea mask sounds amazing! Glad you found a winner! 😃

[eshoe]

@Kim888 the Dead Sea mask sounds good enough to try, especially with the brightening effect! I've added it to my list. I've got a couple on there so far that you have recommended now, come on July 😄

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888   What?  How does a coconut mask not smell like coconut?  Is that even possible?  My mind is blown. 

i’m intrigued by the Dead Sea mask.   The few I’ve  tried always soften but I’m very interested in a brightening one!  

[lmaster]

@Kim888 the dead sea elements mask looks intriguing

[itsfi]

@Kim888, "really glowy and hydrated" skin sounds amazing! 😁 Do you recall whether the material of the Sea mineral mask was thicker or thinner than a standard sheet mask?

[Kim888]

@itsfi @It seemed pretty standard. I would say on the thinner side, but I’ve definitely used ones that were thinner 

[itsfi]

Got it @Kim888. Thank you! I don't mind either, though I have a preference for the soft, thin ones. 

[quspork]

The Dead Sea mask sounds really nice, @Kim888. It's too bad the Superfood one didn't actually have a coconut scent- boo!

[eshoe]

 @Samtian @keana1 and those with feline friends😉

[Samtian]

@eshoe ahahaha! Catnip you say? Mine would be ok with that.

[Kim888]

Rofl imagine how hard if would be to get a mask on a cat - or at least my cat nephews
